In tlie Vnitetl States Dintrlct Court Trustee Avery Against Westltall and Others Will Go to- the Jury Tuesday, Probably--Other Matters. The United States District Court was concerned nearly all day yesterday with the case of A. C. Avery, Jr., trus tee, against W. H. Westhall and "oth ers. There was considerable argument of counsel as to the rightful Jurisdic tion of the matter. The plaintiff rest ed his case yesterday at the adjourn ment of court and to-morrow the de fence will put In their testimony. The case will probably not reach the Jury before Tuesday. It Is an Important civ il action, growing out of the bank ruptcy of J. A. Townsend A Company, lumber dealer of HUdebrand, and some 116,000 Is involved. ( The defendant, Westhall, took a quantity of lumber under a deed of trust and Mr. Avery, as trustee in bankruptcy, la seeking to have the property turned over to him for distri bution among the creditors of the bankrupt firm. ' :;':'-' --V'-:'.- The case of Matthews against evl has been set for hearing next Tuesday.

Mlllikan. United States Marshall for This District. "I want to say that no more popu lar government official visits Char lotte than Mr. J. M. Mlllikan. the United States marshal for this dis trict," Bald a lawyer In conversation with an Observer reporter down at the government building yesterday. "I have been practicing In the Federal Courts in this district for many years," added the lawyer ."and I have never known a marshal Who, has given more general satisfaction. While it is true that he is ftloy&URjgpsblicun. he has conducted' the- affairs. of his office In such a w'ay a to 'convince any Intelligent man tha he fcnolrs no politics In the performance f ihia offlolal duties." ? .,t, It is but truth to say that this' la the candid opinion of every one who has business connected with hhe Fed eral Court or who has observed, the business of that tribunal. Inasmuch as Mr. Mlllikan Is serving tiisr second term, his friends have been n-ore ot less concerned by the "third term" Idea reputed to the President, but' even if this principle should apply, the opinion appears to be that an ex ception should be made In the case of the United States marshal for this district A gentleman who knows of what ho is talking says that, during the In cumbency of Marshal Mlllikan, no charge has been made against him nor has there been any complaint of the manner in which he conducts his office, one of the most Important posi tions In the Federal service. It is a fact that, since organising his office, j after receiving his appointment from i the late President McKlnley, Marshal Mlllikan has never attended any term of court without having the money on hand with which to pay off Jurors and witnesses, and defray the other ex penses of the court. In order to do this, it is necessary for him to have his. account approved and passed on promptly by the Treasury Department and an official who can do this must possess considerable executive ability. In addition to the fact that his rec ord Is perfectly clean, Mr. Mlllikan has sever been mixed Up in any of the factional fights In his party, and-this, of itself, Is something to- his credit. During tha term of Federal Court now In session In this city, an Ob server reporter has heard many com mendations of the United States mar shal for this district, and all of them were accompanied by an expression ot the hope that he would be re appointed at the ' expiration of , bis term, some 41 months hence.' 7 sive movements with an exactness of detail that no word drawing or paper notices coulLlllustrate. ' Especially remarkable was the bril liant work of the Virginia and North and South Carolina regiments, which are In the foreground of observation well before the eye. A great outlay of money was necessary for this sub ject, but Its widespread interest in sures with the rest of the rarest and best subjects to be had in this best of moving picture shows, that the de mands of the people are more than met.
