f(Contlnued From First >Page) 
 there is no doubt but that speech had great effect.
 Mir Johnson of Jackson spoke briefly in support of the Bulger amendments.
 Brandon Opposed.
 MT. Brandon, of Tuscaloosa, said that standing upon a platform which pledged that no backward step be taken in educa-- ton he was forced to oppose the positions taken by the gentlemen from Tallapoosa and Jackson. The speaker began his re- marks by paying a beautiful tribute to Miss Tutmiler for the noble work she was doing, and it was a shame that some mem bers should have classed her as a lobbyist. In reply to a question from the gentleman from Jackson to whether he would fa- bill appropriating S100,O00 additional to the public school funds MT. Brandon tartly replied that speeches in behalf of the public schools were not for the pur- pose of assisting the schools, but to ad- vance the political aspirations of some members.
 MT. Pettus, of Limestone, moved to table the Buger amendment, and it was tabled by the close vote of 1T to 46 MT. Bulger then moved indefinite postponement of the bill which motion was lost The bill was then passed by a vote of 5S to B.
 Jefferson County.
 The bill to provide for the employment of a stenographer by the solicitor of the Criminal Court of Birmingham caused some discussion at the afternoon session. The principal tilt was between Messrs. O'Brien and Benners, of Jefferson. Mir. O'Brien opposed the bill on the grounds that the solicitor had already enough as- sistance. Mir. Benners believed the bill meritorious one, and thought it should pass as the $1 200 salary provided came out of the fine and forfeiture, thus costing the taxpayers nothing. It would in the long run prove a saving to the county, the speaker thought. The bill was passed by a vote of 60 to 2. Messrs. OBrien and I.eath being the two Jefferson County members to vote in the negative.
 The general appropriation has been made a special order for tomorrow at Il o'clock. The bill carries practically the same amount as was carried two years ago.
 MT. Clarke of Mobile introduced bill to- day providing that during the disability of Governor Sanford that he should be paid the regular salary of the Governor, and that Acting Governor Jelks should draw similar salary.

The bill was set as a special order for Friday at Il o'clock Chairman Wallace of the appropri- ations committee will champion it's pas- sage.
 The bill to appropriate $25, 600 to the Boys Industrial School at East Lake is set as a. special order for tomorrow at 12:30 o'clock. The joint committee visiting the school will recommend the passage of the bill.
 NJr of Morgan introduced the following resolution today, which was adopted:
 Be it resolved by the House, the Senate concurring, that in recognition of the faith full service rendered to the State of Ala bama by her loyal sons in the war of 1S61- 65 and inasmuch as there are many sur vivors of said war who are maimed and in- firm, rendered so by reason of their serv- ice in defense of the State, we believe the guards for the Capitol should be selected from among these faithful veterans, and we hereby respectfully request his exceleney the Governor to give these appointments to the old Confederate soldiers of Alabama.
 Doster's Bills.
 Three important bills were introduced in the House today by Representative Doster. The bills are of especial interest to the newspapers of Alabama, the weekly as well as the daily press ana also of inter- est to the printing fraternity.
 The bills were carefully prepared by the legislative committee of the Press Assocfa ton, which met in this city few days ago.

The bill provides that the State shall pay for the publication of the general laws and the counties for the local laws.

Doster is a bill providing for the publication in all home newspapers of all resolutions, ordinances and notices of all kinds required to be published by law. The bill contemplates the publication in newspaper of all such legal notices as are permitted to be printed in public places
