Kansas City. Mo, Jan. n.1S.-President John W. springer's attack upon the beei trust, so-caIled, and the passage of me moriais to Congress urging that laws for the betterment of live stock conditions be enacted, were the features of the first days sesiop of the sixth annual conven- ton of the National Live Stock ssocia- ticn.
 President Springer, after declaring that the American stockman proposes to take care of himself" served notice that those interested must receive protection from the Congress of the United States just as long as the finished products made from our raw materials are heavily pro- tscted.'
 One memorial which was telegraphed to Senator Frye tonight was as follows:
 Your petitioners. the National Live stock Association of the United States, repr esenting the feeders and handlers of i've stock Tn the United States. desire, through you, to call sthe attention of the Serate to House resolution 1S.92-a biil which provides the Secretary of Agricul- ture with authority to prevent the spread of contagious disease in the United States and to establish rules and regulations for the inspection of live stock to be transported through the United States, and your petitioners would respectfully represent that there Is an immediate and imperative necessity for the passage of this law.

 An address by Hon. L. C. Boyle of Kansas City upon The Mortgage Law as 1t Relates to the Live Stock Indus- try aroused a lively discussion among the delegates. Mir. Boyle told the stock men tbat they do not exert the influence fin live stock legislation that their wealth and power should exert. He advised that lobbying committee be appointed and in- structed to visit the Legislature of every State and Territory to secure uniform laws affecting live stock. The resolution vas endorsed.
 One of the speakers suggested that the committee should also try to have uniform inspection laws passed. as mo two States have the same inspection laws"

The two houses of the Alabama Legis- lature were organized at noon yesterday and today will mark the beginning of the routine work which is to engage the at teption of the lawmakers many weeks.
 Hon. Joel W. Goldsby, distinguished young lawyer of Mobile, was selected unanlu1ously to preside over the Senate as Temporary President, and Hon AL fred M Tunstall of Greensboro, several years member of the Legtslatude was chosen by the Democratic caucus as Speaker of the House of Representatives. He had no opposition.
 Simplicity was in the scene. Harmony and earnestness were In the faces of the Senators and Representatives as they gathered in the historic old State House There were no contests for seats. no heat cd debates, nothing to cause hearts to burn in subsequent day of lsgislation.

 After the Senate was called, to order, and the members enrolled, the thirty-four Democrats went into caucus and nomi- mated the oficers of the body The lone Senator without the fold Of Democracy is Hon. J. A. Hurst of Walnut Grove.
 An Exciting Contest.
 The only exciting contest in the caucus was between EEmore Garrett Of Calhoun and Mfr. M. H. Screws of Montgomery candidates for Secretary of the Senate. 1t was known that their strength was about evenly divided, but when the first ballot showed a tie vote--l7 to 17--there was q murmur of surprise. Four ballots were necessary and resulted in the selection ot Mr. Garrett-1S to IS.
 The House merely organized temporar- lily and adjourned until this morning at Il o'clock after its members. had en- rolled.
 The Democratic House caucus was held last night and Hon. J. Manley Foster of Tuscaloosa was selected to preside over its deliberations. Ohicers of the lower branch were nomina ted in short order and the selections caused no especial surprise. The most interesting contest was for the Clerxship between Frank N. Julian of Colbert and W. A. Gunter, IT,, of Mont Gomery, and resulted in the choice of Mir Julian.
 Senator Goldsby, President pro tenn. of the Senate, began last night the work of selecting members of the committee of that body. Mr. Tunstall will be formally elected Speaker of the House today. He will then begin the work of making up the House committees.
 It Is doubtful if the committees of eith- CT the House or the Senate will be made public today.
 When the two houses compleLs their organization today the Governor will be notified by committees. He may send in his message today. It is probable, how ever that the message will not be sent to the IIexislature until tomorrow.

STATE SENATE CHOSE
 OFFICERS AND ADJOURNED

The two events of the opening seasion of the Senate yesterday which engaged interest particularly were the contest in the caucus for the Secretaryship. in which Fillmore Garrett of Calhoun won over his opponent NJ. H. Screws of Mont gomery. after lively fight, and wran- gle among dozen Senators over the le- gality of electing President pro tsm., q wrangle in which considerably more heat than light was generated.
 It was held that the new Constitution provides that the President of the last session shall hold over until his succes- GOT Is duly elected, and by it's term the Lieutenant Governor. to be inaugurated on the 18th inst, is to become the presid- ing officer of the Senate. In view of this contention 1t was held by some that Pres ident pro tenn D. J. Meador of the last session, who called the present session to order. should legally continue in that office until succeeded by the Lieutenant Governor, and that the Senate was pow erless to elect a President pro tenn.
 A motion by Senator Harrison of Lee. after Senator Goldsby of Mobile had been unanimously elected to that position, ask ing for an investigation of the legal as. pect of the case before inducing him into ofice was. however. tabled and the Mo bile Senator was installed.

MR. TUNsTALL CALLED
 THE HOUSE TO ORDER

Speaker pro tenn Alfred Nj. Tunstall of the last House let fall yesterday the gavel on the stroke of noon. calling to order the lower House of the first Alabama Legis- iatuTe as provided by the new Constitu- ton.
 The scene was the historic Hall of Rep- resentatives. wherein was born the Con- federacy and wherein all Constitutions of Alabama since 1850 have been made. Since tho erection of the old Capitol about which clusters so much of the historical interest of Alabama and of the South, nc Legislature has convened which has been faced with weightier or more serious problems. The adoption of the new Con- Rtitution with it's resultant change of con- ditions, upon which Legislative action is so important makes the enactments of the Legislature of close and vital inter- est to Alabama and its people.
 The old Hall, as the Legislators assem-. bIed, wore fresh and wholesome appear ance. In all it's allotted years it had, per. haps, never looked better. The painters and decorators had been at work The unsightly holes in the walls and ceilings which had in recent years marred its appearance. had vanished. The walls as well as the ceiling were freshly decorated and the surroundings of the Legislators were altogether agreeable.
