LIBERTY LITIGATION.
W. W. Goodwin, attorney for the
defendants in the Liberty case in
admiralty, appeared before Judge
Hammond Tuesday in Memphis and
made a motion that the charges in
the cases of the unsustained maritime
claims against the Liberty be paid by
the. creditors. Judge Hammond re
fused to sustain the motion, and ruled
that the costs be paid out of the
Liberty fund. This ruling settles
flially all the matters pertaining to
the Liberty case.
The attorneys for the intervening
libellants, whose claims have all been
allowed by the court, are busy affect
ing a compromise in the matter
whereby they will pro rata the claim
represented by Sterling Pierson,
which he gave notice that he would
appeal. Mr. Pierson has agreed to
settle his claim for 50 per cent instead
of appealing, and this amount will be
pro rated among the other libellants
against the property. The fund will
probably be divided among the dif
ferent libellants some time this week.
DAVIS’ MAJORITY DWINDLING.
From almost complete returns from
fifteen counties and estimates from
sixteen additional counties, Davis’
majority over his opponents will
probably fall in the neighborhood of
35,000.
Reports continue to show that
Davis was scratched throughout the
state, and it may be that he will run
behind the rest of the Democratic
nominees between 10,000 and 15,000
votes. A significant fact that will
more than likely be demonstrated in
connection with the election is the
showing made by Geo. H. Kimball,
the Prohibition candidate, as com
pared with the vote on the license
question. It cannot be denied that
the “For License” people made great
inroads in prohibition territory, while
on the other hand it is equally plainly
evident that Kimball will receive a
far greater vote than his most ardent
supporters had hoped for. The con
clusion to be reached, therefore, is
that numerous Democrats voted for
Kimball in preference to Davis.
There is no longer any doubt that
amendment No. 7 is lost.
A tie in the vote for representative
in Independence county is of great
interest because it may affect the
vote for United States senator on
joint ballot in the legislature, as the
independent representative would not
be bound by the instructions of his
county at the recent primaries.
INDEPENDENCE COUNTY COMPLETE.
Batesville, Sept. 8.—Unofficial but
complete returns from every precinct
in the county give Davis 1,200, Myers
514, Greaves 127, Kimball about 100.
Balance of Democratic ticket elected
by about 1,000 majority.
The entire Democratic county ticket
is elected except one of the repre
sentatives, Matheney, Democrat, and
Stroud, independent, tied.
The official count on representative
is as follows: Hogan 1,264, Matheney
I, 129, Stroud 1,129, Arnold 483.
