HAYNES WARNS PUBLIC FED UP' WITH TAX LOAD House Speaker Doubts If People Would Stand for Any New Levy. LOOKS FOR JULY 8 CALL Expects Sales Tax Battle to Be Resumed at Coming Extra Session. Doubt that the people of Tennessee "will stand for any new taxes" was expressed' yesterday by Speaker Walter Haynes, the lower house of the state's general assembly, in a telephone communication from his Winchester office. speaker said intends to confer at length wth Gov. Hill McAlister within a few days concerning program for the proposed extra sesa sion.
He was in Nashville a few days. and thinks the governor has in ago mind calling the general assembly back to Nashville on July 8. "He didn't say what date he plans to call it, but I judged from his conversation he had in mind calling it July 8," Speaker Haynes asserted. will have to get something done during July." said he expects a sales tax bill to be introduced. He Haynes has had considerable corrspondence from supporters of the Tennessee Property Owner's association bill, which is either proposed for the extra session.
bill as now constituted would likely find disfavor among rural legislators, Haynes agreed. The distribution plan, particularly, will likely Under be opposed by the rural members. the property owner's bill the money would be distributed follows: Fifty per cent. would retained by the county where collected; 30 per cent. would go to the state for the deficit; 10 per cent.
would be divided ninety-five ways and the remaining 10 per cent. according to scholastic population. The Property Owner's association proposes a 3 per cent. levy. The entire proceeds would go to schools.
Counties, with minor exceptions, would be required to reduce taxes on property to an amount equivalent to that received from the sales tax. Opposes Bond Issue Plan. The house speaker frankly stated that "I don't believe the people of this state will stand, for any new taxes." Asked deficit bond issue, Haynes expressed the opinion that "the governor is against that." He indicated that he himself will oppose a bond issue program, taking the posttion that "such would not get us out of our financial He said he does not believe the legislature will approve the nuisance tax proposal. He had in mind the action the senate took on a series of special tax bills which the recess finance, ways and means committee of the house prepared and presented to the general assembly at regular session. "I do hope this legislature can get together on a program which will settle our financial troubles," Haynes stated.
He said he has not had an opportunity to see many of the legislators since the regular session and is not in a position to forecast what possible program they would approve in extra session. He has heard no ward as to what the powerful Shelby county delegation contemplates. Edward H. Crump, undisputed leader of the Shelby forces, wired The Times last week that the delegation "has no special program" for the extra session. Creditors of the state who get their money under authority of the appropriations act, will receive their last checks July 1 and the question as to whether they will get money Aug.
1 remains unsettled. Unless the legislature passes a new appropriations act, the treasurer cannot disburse any money for any purpose except that provided under the authority of special acts. Legislation to effect the repeal of the state dry laws is another problem which is certain to face extra session. Wet leaders are planning, to get an carly test of the legislature's sentiment on the wet issue. It was tested in the senate in the regular session and repeal lost by an overwhelming vote.
It has not been tested in the house, however. The sales tax has never come to a vote in either house, but the sentiment is closely divided on the issue.

'Uncle Jimmy' Huff Warms Up Pen To Flowery June Letter to Boys June, his thirty-third with the ganization of the Chattanooga Media company, really gets next to James R. Huff and his June letter to salesmen concludes with the following bit of Huffism: "June. June brides. bugs. June roses.
June moonlight starlight and sunlight, with winds that are soft from their southern journey." Mr. Huff, secretary and manager of the Bee Dee Stock Remedy company, branch of the Medicine company and aS affectionately and widely known in the St. Elmo section as old Lookout himself, pens a monthly letter of suggestion, encouragement and advice to many salesmen who travel the country, as he once did, selling medicine. His June letter, which he points out that "thirty-three years is a middlin' long time for a concern to let a man stay with it" is reminiscent, sentimental, homey and at times, soft, even slushy. "TO a man who has been brought up in the arms of our southern hills and mountains, there is something about June that never leaves him.
even though he grows old and older." Uncle Jimmy's letter says. "When our mind goes back through the many Junes we have lived, we CHILD BADLY HURT WHEN HIT BY AUTO Fanny Nolan Dashes in Front of Earl Welch's Car. In Critical Condition, but Cheers Poor Father--Edmund Turner Arrested. Little Fanny Ruth Nolan, 12-yearold daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. A. Nolan, of Shepherd, was seriously injured when she blindly dashed before an automobile driven by Earl L. Welch, of 4023 Dodds avenue, at the junction of the Lee highway and the Chickamauga road late yesterday afternoon. The girl was one of two struck by automobiles here yesterday.
S. F. Scott, operator of a filling station 'at the crossroads, who was an eyewitness to the accident, explained that Welch could not avoid striking the small girl. "She was standing at the edge of the road with her twin brother and he related. "A northbound car passed and she ran across, without looking the other way.
just as it got by and jumped right in front of Welch's car, headed south." Scott declared Welch stopped almost immediately and ran back to help pick up the child, hurled about ten feet by the blow. The girl was walking home from the Worley church with an older sister, Tennie Mae, 16. and. a younger brother and sister, Edna and Edward, 14. The eldest had already crossed the highway and was waiting on the opposite side for her two sisters and brother, quenching their thirst near a store.
"I told them to be careful," said Tennie Mae, "and not get hit by a car." Father In Destitute Circ*mstances. Nolan is the father of seven children. He is in destitute circ*mstances and suffering from tuberculosis. Formerly a relief worker, he said he was cut off relief rolls in January because of ill-health. His only means of sustenance $4 a month supplied by the county, Donations of neighbors and church aid also help to support the family, who live in a oneroom shack in the airport community.
As he spoke a hollow cough wracked his body. "My wife gets 50 or 75 cents a week for a big washing and that's the only work done in the family. My oldest girl isn't quite old enough to work and, besides, she couldn't get a job," he added. A J. Avery Bryan ambulance took Nolan's daughter to the Children's hospital.
An examination by two physicians, who said her condition. made it impossible for them to disturb her very much, led to a diagnosis of internal injuries, brain concussion and a possible skull fracture. The hospital reported a more thorough examination would be made as soon as her shocked constitution permits. The father stood by the side of the operating table as the doctors searched for evidences of injury. Shaken with anguish, he sought to comfort the little girl, who slowly reached up and patted her father's arm, saying, "I'm all right, daddy." County officers made an investigation of the accident.
Mrs. J. W. Clark, of 306 West Forty-second street, was also injured in an automobile accident when struck by driven by Edmund T. Turner, 23, of Lookout Mountain, at Forty-fifth street and Highland avenue, Alton Park, yesterday morning at 9:25 o'clock.
Radio Patrolman Ernest F. Turner arrested the driver, charging him with assault with automobile and driving a car while tel drunk. He made bond several hours after his arrest. Mrs. Clark was taken to the Physicians and Surgeons hospital in 8 Bryan ambulance.
She was reported to be suffering from a brain concussion and body bruises, although not in a serious condition.

We have seen automobiles become as common as pig tracks in a hog trail and airplanes like ducks in the sky when the seasons change." His monthly message to the salesmen, Uncle Jimmy camouflaged down toward the end of his June letter in this way: "It is a sort of paralyzing Job for 8 man weighing 110 pounds to hold a girl weighing 180 pounds on his lap, but we know it has been done, which leads us to believe that nothing is impossible, which proves to us 1f 8 salesman wants to sell goodsreally wants to make big sales he can do it." They do say Uncle Jimmy's salesmen watch the mails for their monthby letter from his as closely as they watch for their monthly salary checks. And Uncle Jimmy has already had a batch of letters in return wishing him thirty-three more years with the company.
PIERSON'S ESTATE STILL UNCLAIMED State Keeps $6,541 for Heirs of Umbrella Repairer. Chattanooga Miser Died 33 Years Ago, but No One Has Established Claim. The estate of a Chattanooga umyears ago leaving approximately $8,000 brella repairer who died thirtyin cash remains yet undistributed as no one has proven to be his lawful heir and there is $6,541.79 waiting in the state treasurer's office for some one who can establish, kinship. On Aug. 30, 1902, John Pierson, who had repaired umbrellas here for years and was known to many of the old-timers, died in Stella, Va.
The authorities of Stella refused to surrender any of the assets of the estate and 1 the Chattanooga Savings bank, until his residence here was proven which held a savings account of more than $7,000 for Pierson, filed a petition in the county court clerk's office here for letters of administration. Joe N. McCutcheon was the clerk of the court at the time and granted letters of administration. W. A.
Sadd, an, officer of the Chattanooga Savings bank, at the time, filed the petition. Apparently, it became known immediately that Pierson died without any known heirs. That was stated in the petition filed by the administrator. Soon, a bill Was filed in chancery court by one, Robert Pierson, seeking to establish kinship and claim the estate. His case was lost.
A number of other similar cases followed, but none was ever able to, estaablish a legal claim. The items of the estate listed were cash on deposit and interest, $7,856.89 and "one tin bucket with umbrella The however, got but little of the benefits of his estate for his last rites. Listed in the disbursem*nt accounts was a $50 item for "burial expenses" and $88.40 for tomb and burial lot. The took a $500 fee during the first. course of settlement and later another $500 fee to wind up the estate and place the proceeds in the hands of the state terasurer, The money was turned over to the treasurer's office in 1916, fourteen years after Pierson died.
Porter Dunlap, now a member of the state railroads and public utilities commission, was state terasurer at the time. The county clerk's office paid into the state treasury a total of $3,654.76 as the residue of the estate. Thus, during the fourteen years the estate was being wound up it cost over $4,000. Back taxes and current taxes were a big item in the settlement. The law firm of Wheeler and Trimble was retained by the Chattanooga Savings bank to attend to legal affairs.
In addition to attending to legal complications in Stella, the law firm also defended suits filed here to establish kinship to the veteran umbrella repairer. State Treasurer James J. Bean a few days ago announced that the money on hand to the credit of the unclaimed estate totals $6,541.69. During the nineteen years the money has been on deposit in the treasurer's office the estate has earned nearly $2,000. Another unclaimed estate originatat the treasurer's office, but no record ing from a this county also is on file of was found in the county court clerk's office here.
This is the estate of Sam Kirk, to which there is 8 credit of $3,041.81.

Field, After Bouncing From Speeding Car, Bruised in Collision.
TRACK CUTS SPEED DOWN Chattanooga Boy Joins Cast, Stunned in Motorcycle Stunt, Recovers Disappointed because nobody seemed likely to be killed as the Thrill Drivers drew their Warner park program to a close yesterday, some 4,000 who paid admissions sat and sat, until Daredevil Word finally skidded his battered sedan into a rollover on his eighteenth attempt to turn turtle. The exhibition of really dangerous tricks, including motorcycle automobile crashes through burning walls and head-on collisions, drew applause from the orderly crowd which filled the racetrack grandstand for the Chattanooga Trades and Labor council entertainment. The routines, however, were performed at much slower speeds than advertised, probably in most. cases because of the short straightaways on the dirt track. The -bitten crew of contract thrill-mongers, headed by Manager Louie Gasser, performed the following feats in between popular music broadcast by a public audition system: A motorcycle plunge through a burning wooden wall; a step-off from an automobile supposed to be traveling at about seventy miles per hour, but acing, tually hurdling making and about generally so, reckless driving by Gasser; a head-on collision by two antiquated automobiles with a trouper in the back seat of one, a stunt which demolished one of the cars completely; a charge through two burning inch-plank walls by a girl driving an automobile, and the turnover of a sedan by a young driver at a speed closer to forty miles an hour than seventy.
Probably riskiest of the stunts was 20-year-old Victor Field's staying aboard the heavy sedan that plowed through and scattered an ancient littie coupe of -model vintage. Crouched in the back seat steering his machine at what appeared to be about thirty miles an hour into the lighter car, also doing about half a mile a minute when its pilot stepped, off its side and turned it loose, Fields was thrown through the front seat cushions and bruised considerably. He was taken to the Physicians and Surgeons hospital by a Wann ambulance and treated for sprains and contusions, especially of the right knee. The stunt in which Field was injured was his second of the day. In a previous effort.
he leaped from a speeding car. Helmeted in heavy leather, with a leather apron attached amidships, behind, he stood on the rear bumper of the car, hoiding onto rope-reins Ben Hur fashion, until his armored landing section skimmed the dirt track, let go. In a splendid slither and cloud of dust, he bounced some forty feet and swapped ends several times until he landed in a sufficiently-woebegone lump to please the most savage or the most- recently chastised small boy in the grandstand. Most spectacular, though, of the tricks was Sam Hollis' unintentional imitation of the "daring young man on the flying trapeze" when he rode a motorcycle through the plank wall. The amiable, red-haired little Chattanpogan, who works at the Southern Railroad company and usually wears horn-rimmed glasses, doubled in brass for M.
Kardon, regular member of the troupe, who was understood to have been hurt recently in Alabama. Squatting low behind the plate-steel shield bolted on his roaring machine. he twisted his throttle open wider than Hoyle demanded and drove straight into the wall. Bursting through like artillery shell in a scatter of boards, his motorcycle somersaulted one way and he flipped end-over-end another. Momentarily stunned, he lay still until bystanders reached him, then asked "What happened?" He seemed to recover from his role as dumdum bullet quite satisfactorily.
The buck of a heavy sedan, armed with 8 cow -catcher of steel angle beams, through two burning plank walls was received with mild enthusiasm. Miss Nora Lee was at the wheel. Climatic, but nearly anti-climatic, was the turning of Raymond Word's car turtle. Seventeen times down the bumpy grass field he ground at about thirty-five or forty miles an hour, lathering the car and bystanders with flying grit, and springing 8 wheel nearly off its axle, before the sedan gave up and bounced over two and a half times. He emerged hurt, while hundreds of youths swarmed around him.
The six city police officers handling the crowd discipline were overheard to regret that "all the fool drivers inChattanooga couldn't be put into an open field likewise and allowed to butt. their brains out." Several thousand more people thronged Warner park than passed through ticket wickets at 25 or 40 cents apiece. Tom Humphreys, Rossville wrestling promoter, was in charge of arrangements.

The Southern Railway system will transfer most of its roadway shops to Charlotte, N. retaining only a small crew in the shop here to do light work, and the transfer is effective July 1, it was learned yesterday. Under the plans announced, the heavy work which the roadway shops have been doing here will be done in Charlotte, while -the light will continue to be done in Chattanooga. This division of the railway. system has the duty of repairing roadway equipment such as hand cars, signs, switch frogs and similar devices.
the result of the transfer, thirty or thirty-five employes of the shops here will lose their posts. J. Miller Hamic, accountant for the shops, will be transferred to Charlotte. He has seniority over the Charlotte accountant and will take the position of accountant when transferred. The roadway shops of the Southern system have been located in Chattanooga since 1904.
While Chattanooga is one of the most centrally located cities in the railway system, Southern officials at Washington are reported as having decided that the shops could be operated more economically at Charlotte. Under the order approximately twelve men will be retained here to do the light work. Since there are a number of shop men Charlotte who have been laid off and are eligible to return to work when Jobs open, the Chattanooga force is not to be transferred except for Hamic and 8 storeroom manager. R. W.
Williams, executive general for the Southern railway system Chattanooga, said last night the roadway handled directly from the Washington office, and that he has no supervision it. The orders to transfer the shop, he declared, must have originated in Washington. TULANE OBSERVES. 100TH ANNIVERSARY Dr. Newell Gets Invitation, Program Giving Colorful History of School.

Through the efforts of these three doctors the Medical College of Louisiana was established in 1834, the statement said. In 1884, the story reads, Paul Tulane, a resident of Jersey who had amassed 8 large fortune as 8 merchant in New Orleans before the War Between the States, made what was, in those days, a princely gift of more than $1,000,000 for the institution.
which was given his name.

at Same Time. LAWS COMPEL DELAYS County Attorney Lynch to Talk to City Attorney Anderson on Matter Today. City and county officials are planning to hold their referendums on the public works administration profect bonds at the same time if possible in order to save money, Carter J. Lynch, county attorney, reported last night. I.
B. Merriam, chairman of the Hamilton county election commission, has requested the county attorney to prepare a call for the county election and to determine if the city's referendum can be held at the same time. The referendums could not be held until late in July or early in August In view of the requirements of the enabling statutes which require that month's notice must be given. supplemental registration would have to be held twenty days before the vating. County Attorney Lynch said he will confer with the city attorney, Joe W.
Anderson, today and try to work out call. The two attorneys will study the provisions of the respective enabling acts and determine of whether law will forbid the holding the referendums simultaneously. County Attorney Lynch said he had not examined the city acts and could not say offhand whether there is anything in them to preclude the two elections being held together. Insofar as the county is concerned, however. Lynch says he sees no legal objection to the proposal.
Judge Will Cummings, the county attorney said, had proposed the dual referendum to Mayor Ed Bass. Following their conference Chairman Merriam asked the county attorney for his advice on the proposal. Under special acts passed at the recent session of the legislature the voters of Hamilton county would be required to vote upon the question of issuing $1,500.000 for a general hospital and $105,000 for expansion of the William L. Bork Memorial hospital. At the same time the county court wants the voters to pass upon a school expansion program of more than $1,000,000.
The Hamilton delegation thought it had passed an act authorizing this referendum at the Jest session of the legislature, but due to an error made by the clerk of the senate's office, the bill was not recorded on the journal AS having passed and therefore cannot be included in the private acts. In view of this the vote on the school program will be nothing more than instructive to the Hamilton delegation at the proposed extra session of the state assembly. Gov. Hill McAlister has indicated to those with whom he has conferred that' he will call the assembly to meet July 8. Unless the school expansion program is listed In the ernor's proclamation for en call.
such a bill could not be ered at the extra session. Gov. however, has announced that he will include local bills in the proclamation provided there are no controversies over them between the members of the delegation affected. If the referendum cannot be held until late July or early August the instruction for the Hamilton delegation on the school program would likely come too late to be of any benefit to the members. Chairman Merriam said last night the election commission is ready to call the referendum when the call 15 prepared by county attorney.
In view of the fact that bond issues are involved the election commission chairman said he wanted the call drafted by the county's legal authority in order that all requirements of the bond attorneys. will be met. GRANT CASE TRAIL LEADS TO DAYTON Police Investigate Tip There, but Report Robbery no Nearer Solution. Forty-eight hours of investigation left police and detectives last night without a worthwhile clue to the identity of the three men who executed the daylight robbery of the W. T.
Grant company store late Friday afternoon. Capt. Roy Hyatt, Radio Patrolmen H. H. Sully and E.
E. Smith and J. W. Anderson, special investigator for the Tennessee Electric Power company, made a hurried trip to Dayton, early yesterday morning on the trail of a clue in that city. The officers returned later in the day, however, and reported no 1 results obtained from the tip.
B. C. Stonebreaker, assistant manager of the store, who was forced to open the safe containing more than $2,000, and two women employes who also got 8 good description of the bandits, viewed several suspects early last night. None fitted the descriptions fully enough to give police cause for a further investigation. The automobile used in the robbery has not been found.
Police believe the three men made a successful getaway and abandoned the machine, as almost ten minutes passed before police headquarters was able to broadcast the alarm. In that time the car could have been out of the city. Chief of Detectives -W. H. Hackett said last night he was reasonably sure the trio were not Chattanoogans.
"It possible that one of them belonged here, but I'm not sure of he said. He added that no further information which would lead to an arrest had been received by his department. of Police Ray Bryan also reported nothing new in the case.
