Governors Desire.

AONSIuSt OSSiTCs
 Governor Cunningham is desirous. as he | said the other night to see the matter settled and wants to do what is right and in accord with the best interest of the state.
 The Birmingham bar is practically unanimous in favorlng the extra ses- sion, though there are some lawyers who do not think the call necessary.
 No actoa has been taken by the Bir- mingham bar association, but many lead- ing lawyers have written to the governor. setting forth their reasons for thinking an extra session the only course to pursue.
 T can not say that l am in favor of an extra session." said Alex T. London, member of the legislature. q am cer- tainly against 1t if there Is any other way out of the difficulty. I think the governor Is right in not wanting to issue the call unless 1t is absolutely necessary"
 No Other Plan Suggested.
 When asked if he thought there was any other way out of the judiciary tan- gle, Mr. London said: 'I am not pre- pared to say at this time."
 Attorney John London, who was instru- mental in bringing about a test of the Lusk law. IS heartily in favor of an extra session and says he sees no other way out of the difficulty.
 Something must be done in thls mat ter" said Joseph T. Collins, Jr., yester- day, 'and the only way I can sec out of 1t is for the governor to call an extra session. Unless this Is done our judiciary system will be in a hopeless tangle with cases attacking the constitutionality of certain bills coming up at nearly every session of court. The Lusk bill Is not the | only unconstitutional court law on the statutes now. in my opinion. Many oth- CTS are likely to suffer a similar fate at the hands of the supreme court I think Governor Cunningham should issue the call for an extra session at the earliest possible moment and prevent further complications"

 MuddIe In Etowah. | Gadsden october 5.-(Special.)-I dis- cussing the judicial muddle it was stated | that J. A. Inzer. nominee for solicitor of the Ninth judicial circuit, is left out be- cause of his residence in St. Clair county which county goes back into the Seventh circuit under decision of the supreme court. MT. Inzer lives in Gadsden, which is in the Ninth circuit, for which he is tn, nominee. and his friends say that MT. In ger is still in the race for solicitor of thii | circuit.
 | It seems that confusion over the SUI preme court decision continues to null tiply. Judge Bilbro, the present judg, of the Ninth, and the democratic nominee for reelection, opened court at Gunters- vile on Monday last, but on Tuesday de- cided to adjourn court for the term. No ones seems to understand the judicial status, and 1t Is claimed that a specia! session of the legislature is the only solu- ton. The people here are enthusiastic for | a special session and urge the governor to issue the call at once.
