FoRFEITUREs REMITTED.
Governor Cunningham Relieves Citizen.
 in Three Caaes


 in Three Cases.
 The fine of F. J. McCosker a well known plumber of Montgomery, for failure to take out license from the State and county was remtted yester- day by Governor Cunningham.
 The amount of the fine was S75. Both the solicitor and the presiding judge recommended that this should be done. It was shown to the governor that there had previously been a doubt as to the legality of the license. In view of the fact that Mir. McCosker had taken out the license as soon as the legal ques- ton involved had been settled the fine was remitted.
 The forfeiture taken against tho bondsmen of Eugene Dennis was also remitted by the governor. Dennis was a Jefferson county prisoner. After he left and forfeited his bond his bonds men. at their own expense, arrested him and put him in the county jaII and he is now awaiting trial.
 In view of these facts the Forfeiture against the bondsmen was remitted. The forfeiture entered against the bondsmen of Tom Lambert was reduced by the governor from $15O to $75. Lam- bert was Montgomery county pris- oner and on his bond were Mary Hall and R, Cantelou. He was charged with taking part in an affray The judge and the solicitor recommended the re. mission of the forfeiture.

PENSIONERS DROPPED.
co,.,der,ble stir in Autauga OveS
 state Boards Action.

state Boards Action.
 p...y,Ile Sent, 28.-(Spectal)- rh.ra ia considerable stir over the ac- tion of the State Board of Pensions ID dronninr several old veterans and three widows from the pension roll or tnis County. In the first place IL cahno' be learned how the State board oo- tained its information which or the pensioners were worthy ana "hich una worthy of pensions.
 The County Board of Pensions rec commended no changes. It is presumed the County Board was informed as 'o the condition of each pensioner.
 The writer has not been able 10 se- cure exact informatio concerning alI the pensioners dropped from the roi' by the State Board but three WIDOWS were dropped. One who resides ID Prattville owns much dliapioateo home in town. worth not more tnap $500. She makes her home with her sons She has no income whatever.
 Another widow with absolutely no nroperty. makes her home with son who earns his living by his daily iaoor and owns no property, yet this widow was dropped from the pension roll pe cause she owned "too much property.
 Another still. is dropped for the same reason and not one dollars worth of property is assessed 10 heF
 One man who resided here for several years but having lost his work in this town removed to a neighboring town is dropped on account of having re- moved from the State" This man las five small children. owns no property is diseased, was a brave soldier ano now Is unable, on account of his age. to earn wages to keep his family in the necessities of life to say nothing of the comforts
 made as to the acts of the Board. and an effort will be made to have the worthy pensioners reinstated. Of the nine pensioners dropped from the roll from this County, more yet may be worthy of the pittance received hereto fore, but by this order of the State Board will receive nothing in future.
 There is an effort being made to se- cure enough petitioners to get the name of Hon. J. M. Thompson of Au- taugaville. on the ticket to be voted this fall, as candidate for the office of Probate Judge against G. $. Living ston. the present incumbent. and nomi- nee for the next term on the Demo- cratic ticket At last accounts the re- ouisite number of petitioners was not forthcoming. It seems there was no thought of any opposition till after the meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee last Monday.
 There is absolutely no uneasiness about the success of the County nomi- nees Autauga will roll up the larg- est Democratic majority that has votco in fifteen or twenty years at the No- yember elecion.

SUPREME COURT TODAY
WILL MEET TO CONSIDER VALIDITY
 OF LUSK ACT.
On Its Decision May Depend Calling of an Extra Session of Alabama Leg
 fslature by Governor Cun-
 ~ ningham.

The Supreme Court of Alabama will assemble today at noon in special ses- sion to decide whether the Lusk judi. |. ciaI act Is or is not constitutional.
 The decision of the court will have a far reaching effect. Beyond it lies the strong possibility of an extra ses sion of the Alabama Legislature If the Lusk act Is declared unconstitu- tional the lawyers say that the judi. .. cial system of the State will be thrown into a state of chaos and the circum- stances will compel Governor Cunning. ham to call the legislature together in extra session whether he cares to dc so or not.
 The case comes from Jefferson county through the Northwestern Chancery Division. In a decision rendered by Chancellor J. c. Carmichael 1t was held that there was no such act as the Lusk Judicial act. It was held that this ac. never passed the lower House of the Legislature and that its presence on the statute books was due to the addition by the house of a conference commit tees report.
 In view of the decision of Chancellor Carmichael and the importance of the issue at stake Chief Justice T. N. Mo- Clellan called the Supreme Court to- gether in special session The first question to be decided is whether the court, in its special term, will confine itself to the consideration of the legal ity of the Lusk act or whether 1t will take up for consideration the const,- nationality of certain other acts re. lating to circuits and courts.
 Attempts will no doubt be made to have the court pass upon the legal status of the Fourteenth Judicial Cir cult. composed of the counties of Walk CT and Winston, the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit composed of the counties of Montgomery. Fillmore and Autauga and probably some others.
 Two of the justices of the Supreme Court were in the city yesterday, Judge T. N. Mcclellan and Judge Jonathan Haralson. Associate Justice Tyson will come from Philadelphia where he has been visiting, to be present. He was expected to reach the city last night as was Justice J. R. Dowdell from his home in Lafayette. Justice Sharpe will come down on the morning train from his home in Birmingham.

DECISIVE BATTLE

is not much influenced by Gen. Ku-

treat reported in the latest Russian
dispatches have been foreseen by the
English military observers, and, in
deed, the Russian confidence follow

Yes" nodded Mast. but can't go.
l haven't time"
But they will pay you for your
time. l have reason to believe you
could get a hundred thousand dollars
for the trip"
Mast pondered moment, then:
Don't you think l can get two hun
dred thousand?"
II do. believe from what have
heard in the bank that you could get
1t. You have a great talent; but you
need study and You need rest. Besides
this Ring business will get you into
trouble. They own all the judges and
jurors. and can get you locked up for
libel. My advice is to take the money
and get away"
Mast looked out into the street and
perhaps wondered what 100000 would
do for him. II would pay the mort
gage on tho house in the city H.
would give him years of study aboard.
1t would make him comfortable for
life. Presently he said,
Don't you think | could get five
hundred thousand to make that trip"
The bank official scarcely hesitated.
You can. You can get $500, 900 in
gold to drop this Ring business and
get out of the country"
Mast laughted little. He had play
ed the game far enough
well, / don't think I'll do it." he
said. II made up my mind a long
behind the bars, and I'm going to put
them therei"
The banker rose, rather quietly.
only be careful, Mr. Mast. that you
do not first put yourself into cof-
fin" he smiled.
