Afhevllle, Nov. 25 Four serious

The principal fire of this section Is

heir entire force of 200 men ngnt-
K the tire, which had crossed the
tanah ridge from the vicinity of
Sur:crest lumber camp, which has
teen burned out. Treaties and skld-

destroyed.
K heavy wind, which prevailed last
fit: and today with low humidity,
rendered the work of the fire fight-
ts more difficult. It was believed
he tire would be brought under con

roved futile as the wind Increased

NASHVILLE CJTY
For Second Time In Its History
Ouster Law Invoked And
Mayor's Turned Out
NO CHARGE AGAINST HIM
Council Has Authority To Declare
Olllce Vacant By Majority Vote
And When His Opponents Got
Necessary Votes Last Night
t - They Made Most pi Jt w
. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 25 For the
second time In Its history, Nashville
experienced a change in city govern
ment last night thru the medium of
the ouster law.
Eight years ago Hilary E. Howse
was expelled from his office by court
procedure after exposures of finan
cial Irregularities in departments
under his control as commissioner
and mayor. Last night Felix Z. Wil
son, for eighteen months mayor of
the city, was summarily ousted by
the members of the city council, who
hold that power under the city char
ter. One vote brought the downfall
of the chief executive and the action
came as a surprise to him and his
supporters.
Percy Sharpe, business man and a
former member of the .county court,
was elected by the council to -the
office of mayor as soorr ns It was de-i
clared vacant.
Mayor Wilson's downfall followed !
tha refusal of the council to confirm
his appointees as members of the
board ot education.
Another contributing cause was
believed to have been the recent ex
pulsion of five city detectives, who
were charged with pernicious polit
ical activity against, the muyor dur
ing his campaign for election in
March, 1921. i
The detectives appealed their case
to the state supreme court, which
held that the charier gave the city
council and mayor the right to legis
late them -out of office. Their case
brought a sharp division in the coun
cil of fifteen members. The mayor
maintained control for months by a
single vote and when this vote was
switched suddenly last night his ex
pulsion was assured.
No -charges of any kind were
brought against Mr. Wilson, the
council merely declaring his office
vacant.
' It is believed that the election of
a new mayor presages tha dismissal
of- the present chief of police and
other officials subject to appolntmont
by the mayor with the approval of
the council.

day; Principal Attack Made
By Davis, Of Tennessee
Washington, Nov. 25 The last day
of general debate was ahead tor the
shipping bill when the House con
vened today, In the belief of Repub
lican leaders that the bill would pass
with a majority next week following
discussion of the bill. Assurances
of this effect were taken to the White
House by Representative Mondell,
Republican leader, .at the close of
yesterday's debate, altho he did not
say how many" votes It would have
to spare.
Of fourteen members taking the
floor for and against the bill yester-
day, there were only two breaks in
party ' alignment. ' Representative
O'Conner, Democrat, of Louisiana,
spoke for the measure, while Repre
sentative Kahn, of Ohlo.I a Republi
can member of the merchant marine
committee which framed it, an
nouneed he would not vote for a bill,
which he asserted had been Jammed
thru the comjnUtea... He said , its
passage would mean the "certain
crushing of the Republican organi
zuutin two years nenee. '
Delivering the principal attack on
the bill, Iieprsentative Davis, Ten
nessee, a Democratic member of ttje
merchant marine committee, de
clared its passage would bring "the
worst scandal In the history of the
American Republic," while Repre
sentative Jefters, Nebraska, Repub
lican member of the committee sup
porting it, asked why "Congress
should shy at the merest word of
'subsidy' when it means a saving of
50,000,000 to the taxpayers."
