Legislators Are Preparing Bills for Submission to Lawmakers in September-Miss seeley

The Senate Recess Committee spent nearly all of yesterday in sess,on in the Senate chamber at the Capitol. Mo. ming and afternoon sittings of the Committee were held.
 It. was announced yesterday that the Committee had te ected Miss Winfe d Seeley as Clerk. Miss Seeley is from Baldwin County and Is practical and experienced stenographer.
 The Committee has begun and will con tinrc Its works systemaIlc2liy. The Com mittee 1t will be recalled was created to sit during the Legislatures recess to pre- pare general bills which will harmonize the statutes with the new Constitution. It's work will be submitted to the Legis- iature when it reconvene5 the first day tn September. The bills which the Commit tee will prepare may or may not be ac- cepted by the Legislature. The Commit tees purpose is to supply Wo- for the Legislature to begin on as soon as 1t re- convenes for its final session of twenty two days.
 The Legislature. during its session last winter, made but slight progress in bring ing the statutes up to the Constitution. It even failed to pass gene al election law which shou d provide permanent registration plan while mak ng election reguiat ons in Alabama harmonlzing with the spirit Of the Constitution. As le- suit or tfllS oversight HunuEcuS or NolSlS S were not able to participate in the muni- cipal primaries ot the spring.

Colored Schools.
White School Accommodations.

At Highland Pack there is a school building owned by the town. The build ing has four class rooms and one small recitation room. The building should be remodeled, an approved system of heat ing and ventilation installed. and new furniture provided. In order to make the improvements suggested s2.c00 or $2,5O0 would probably be required.
 ''The school on Bell. nger Hill occupies small rented cottage not at all suitable for school purposes.
 At Oakley there is a one-room building owned by the county. No furniture of any value.
 ''The Holt Street School occupies rented cottage. The rooms are small and poorly furnished.
 "In West End School No. there are four teachers and two small buildings are in use. One of these buildings is a zation and the other is two-roop building owned by the county The school rooms are small and undesirable and the furniture. is of little value School No. Is conducted by one-teacher in one of the rooms of his dwelling.
 The Vesuvius School is taught in a church. No school furniture.
 Colored School Accommodations.
 ''The schools on High Street occupy rented rooms. The other colored schools are conducted in church buildings and are supplied with no school furniture.
 Tn addition to the colored schools emu merated above that are supported by the public school funds, there are private pills or more. If accommodations are pi vided many of these pupils will at tend the public schools"
 From the above data as furnished by the Superintendent 1t is seen that some 1,0O9 or 1.200 additional pupils must be provided for next year. In order to se- cure a better classification of pupils and to be able thereby to conduct the work in a more economical way, q consolida- tion of schools so far as practicable must bo made. With this end in view, we would recommend the erection in the southern part of the city an eght-room school building This would accommo- date the pupils on Bellinger Hill and in relieve the crowded condition of some of the classes at Decatur Street and Sayre Street schools.
 We would recommend that a six-room building be provided at West End to accommodate the schools in that local ity
 To accommodate the pupils in the northern part of the city in Vesuvius and the neighboring territory rooms might be rented or a small building of three or more rooms built.
 We would further recommend that the improvements in the Highland Park building suggested by the Superintendent be made.
 The ten years the Board has been call ing the attention of the Council to the Chiffon Building and asking that the conditions there be improved. We now urgently recommend that the Chiffon Building be torn down and that the lot on which it stands be made a part of the Sayre Street school grounds. In or der to provide for the classes now in this school and for the class in the base ment of the Sayre Street School. we recommend that a six-room build ing be erected somewhere in the south western part of the city.

REVERSED COMMISSION.
United States Supreme Court Opinion
 in pnte Case

III EHLe CaSe.
 Washington, May 1S.-The United States Supreme Court today reversed the finding of the United States Interstate Commerce Commission in the case of the proceedings of that Commission in the case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany and other railroad companies whose lines constitute a continuous line to the cities of New Orleans and Atlanta.
 The case arose out of the charge made to the effect that there Is discrimination against the town of LaGrange. which is on the line between New Orleans and At
 lanta. to which 1t was alleged that a higher rate was charged on freight from New Orleans than was charged on goods
 shipped from New Orleans to Atlanta notwithstanding it was a shorter haul.
 1t was held shat the rate in favor or Atlanta was justified by the fact thai At lanta is q competitive pint.
 The other lines involved with the Louis vile and Nashville, were the Western Railway of Alabama and the Atlanta and West Point Railroad.
 Justice Waites opinion was an elabo- rte one. He entered into the details Of the case. showing the location of La Grange relatively to Atlanta and New Or leans and said that the proceeding had been instituted by citizen of that town
  it in the interest of Atlanta and also on the charge. that in their levying a higher freight taIAG on freight shipped from New Orleans to Atlanta. IS miles beyond. the long and short haul provision of the interstate commerce act had been vio- lated He also stated that there was com pIaint that the rates from New Orleans to La Grange was even higher than the rate from New Orleans to points between La tsatf tagtg nd lis1Qr 10 distance to La Grange was shorter in ev- cry case He also related the finding on the Interstate Commerce Commission which had sustained the view of the La Grange petitioued and had found that the rate to Ia Grange was .unreasonaole'
 The United States Court of the south ern District Of Alabama in which the case was first heard, affirmed the finding of the Commission, but this opinion Was reversed by the Circuit Court ot Ap- heals for the Fifth Circuit. Justice White stated that the record in the case established the fact that Atlanta is point of competition, reached not cniy through New Orleans but through ether points and on this account finds, In ac- cordance with previous decisions. that there was no discrimina ton He sald that previous decisions of the court mad es- tablished beyond question the right of railroads 10 make concessions to cities situated as is Atlanta in the matter of competition. He added that the rate nAtd from New Orleans to La Grange was inc rate from New Orleans to Atlanta plus the rate from Atlanta to La Grange, end said that in case of a refusal 10 allow the railroads to make a greater charge to La Grange they could avoid any restric- ton of that kind by shipping to Atlanta and charging the full rate and then re- shipping to La Grange and charging the local rate.
 He said there were no earthly grounds for the conclusion of the comIaiss Jn that the rate was unreasonable.
