JELKS AND QIJARLES
REPLIES TO THE
 SELMA SOLICITOR.
Chief Executive Declares He Had No Right to Order Special Court and Calls Attention
 to Law.

In an interview yesterday on the state ment published by Solicitor w. w.. Quarles of Selma in reference to the special term of the Circuit Court of Will cox County to try the Pineapple lynchers Governor Jelks takes issue with the Soli- citor on several important points.
 The Governor calls attention to the fact that all the cor espondence that pass ed between him and the Solicitor was not included in the correspondence given by the Solicitor to the newspapers. The Governor presumes that his last and most important telegram had not reached Soli- citor QuarleS before he gave his state ment to the press.
 The Solicitor contended that under Sec tions5 and of the act in regard to the Supernumerary Judge gave the Governor authority to call a special term of Cir cult Court In his last telegram the Governor told the Solicitor that Judge A. H. Aston, the Supernumary Judge and other judges had held those provisions to be unconstitutional.
 In his statement yesterday the Governor says that former Attorney General Charles c. Brown gave it as his opinion that the two sections in question were not constitutional. At the time the opin- ion was rendered the Governor intended ordering a special term. but abandoned  that intention when the Attorney General advised him that he lacked the constitu- tional authority.
 The provisions of Sections 5 and of the act in question do not appear in it's caption as required by the constitution.
 "Yes,'' said Governor Jelks in response to an inquiry, "I have seen the corres- pondence given out at Selma By Colonel Quarles growing out of a demand in Will COX County for a special term of the Cir cult Court. The. correspondence, as given out by Colonel Quarles, is incom- plete A final telegram which l sent him did not appear in The Advertiser of Sunday morning together with the other teleGrams. From my home in Eufaula Saturday I dictated the following tele- gram which was sent from the Governor s office in Montgomery about noon satur- day:

BASKET BALL AT Y. M. c. A.
Blacks Won from Reds by Score of
 TX Aa 10

10 to To.
 The Blacks won their second game of basket ball from the Reds last night at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium in one of the hottest games of the season.
 The score was tied several times during the course of play and at the end of the second half the game was tied 13 to 13 In the play off which took seven minutes the Blacks succeeded in throwing a goal from quick pass into the field from the side line, the Red guard leaving his man uncovered for the instant and the game closed with the score 15 to 13
 The Reds were minus Paterson who is i'll. but had their regular team aside Srom that, and put up a good game Their passing was much better in the second half but the Blacks team work was simply gilt edged and they passed the ball all around their opponents Fouls were evenly distributed and the game was rough, the fast play making it impossi- ble for the men to keep from fouling in the small space of play. Alley was the star for the Blacks. getting three field goals and putting in three from fouls Alley, Tisdale and Ivey each got one goal from field Locke got three from field for the Reds. Dahlberg one and Clapp got four from fouls and Hood one
 The details were as follows:
 Reds-Locke center; Clapp and Dahl berg forwards; Hood and Johnston guards.

ordering special term of Court in Will cox County. He directs me to advise you that the provisions of five and six are not included in caption of act to which you refer. and are unconstitutional, in the opinion of Judge Aston and other judges. No court has beene held hereunder for several years. He regrets he has no au- thority to order special term.
 "J. K. Jackson, Private Secretary
 "I do not know why in giving out the correspondence, this telegram was not in cluded. The presumption is that Colonel Quarles had not at that hour received it. The two sections of the act providing for a supernumery judge to which he called my attention in the telegram. are clearly unconstitutional and have been so declar- ed by number of Circuit Judges.
 When I first came info this office two and a half years ago. in undertaking to invoke the statute. the then Attorney General. Hon. Charles G. Brown gave it as his opirion that the two sections were clearly void in that the duties under them were not provided for in the caption. I have uniformly, since then, ignored that part of the statute, although frequently anxious to invoke some such law.
 ''I thought, perhaps. it was unnecessary for me to say agGm that I have no au- thority under the law to call a special term of a Circuit Court That liberty is absolutely denied me under the statute and there can be no doubt about it in the mind of any well-informed attorney who has. investigated the subject. l wish it were otherwise.
 So clearly was this known to the mem- bers of the Legislature that a bill em- bodying the discussed sections five and six of the supernumerary judge act was introduced in both houses of the LegisIa- ture. Tbe Senate bill passed that body but the House bill was adversed by the Judiciary Committee on the theory that statute would create confusion in the functions of the Governors office and the Judiciary"

 There was an interesting and largely Intended meeting held yesterday after noon at Temple Mishkan Israel by the members of that congregation It was s,x far the largest annual meeting ever held of the congregation. This is ac- counted for partly because of zealous in ferest felt by the members in the affairs Of the Temple and partly because of an sncreased membership. the latter brought about both by an influx of new material and the affi'iation of many who have not fately actively acted with the congrega- ton.

Colonel Stallworth has neither confirmed nor denied the rumor He Is one of the most prominent men in South Alabama. and has many strong personal friends in every county in the district. He is a very fine campaigner. and should he enter the contest he would have a very strong following.

thing has been built to last. and al
though for considerable portion OF
its length the line runs through :

the grades are less than those of an
other railroad connecting st. Louis
and Kansas City.
One feature of the new line which
will appeal to the travelling public l.
that all trains. both east and west
