SPECIAL COURT TERM
SUPREME TRIBUNAL WILL CON-
 vENE SEPTEMBER 20.
Purpose of Extra Session Ia to Hear and Decide Constitutionalfty Of Lusk Act-Huntsville Cases
 Involved.

A special term of the Supreme Court of Alabama was ordered yesterday by Mir. Chief Justice Mcclellan to con- vene at 12 o'clock Thursday. Septem-1 Der 2sth.
 The special term of the court Is to consider and decide the validity of the so-called Lusk Judiciary act of the last which has been declared to be invalid by Chancellor Carmichael of the Chancery court of Jefferson Coun- ty.
 The title of the case as appealed from the lower court is Board of Rev enue of Jefferson County and others against Edward c. Crow and its pur- pose is to remove a cloud from the new judiciary system as enacted by the last legislature.
 The transcript sf the appeal was sub mitted to the Supreme Court several days ago and since that time MT. Chief Justice Mcclellan has bean conferring with the Associate Justices who are on their vacation, by wire or by mall seeking to ascertain the most conven- tent and available date for calling the special term. It was announced yes terday that the date for beginning the hearing had been definitely fixed.
 Tho lower court has decided that In0 LuSk act IS III that it failed to pass the lower House of the Legislature as provided by law. if the Supreme Court sustains the low CT court numerous interesting possi- bilities will be opened. Nearly the whole of the judicial system will be affected and special session of the legislature will be necessary to cor rect the blunder
 Governor Cunningham has express ed the hope that the law will be found valid. He declared that he would not discus sthe proba babilitysof an extra ses- sion of the legislature until he was confronted with its necessity. .
 One important phase of the situa- tion is that the Sixteenh Judicial Cir cult in which Huntsville is located was created by the I.usk act. If the act Is declared to be unconstitutional the indictments which are now being returned at Huntsville against the men who 1ynched the negro. Horace pies last week will be null and void. If the court should proceed to try and convict the lynchers, this action would also be void.
 this phase of the situation said yes- overcome the invalidity of the act but that it was within the range of pos- sibility that the lynchers would stay in jail without trial for some time. at least until the mistake of the leg. islature could be rectified
 It should be said in passing that the Fifteenth Circuit in which Mont. gomery is situated is not affected by the Lusk act. This circuit was cre- ated by special act of the legisla- ture.
 It is understood that no cases other than that involving the Lusk act will be heard or received on submission at the special session of the Supreme Court

TraInlng colored Maid..

Southern Workman.
 The question of negro servants came to the front again this year in the Hampton conference. It was shown that In a number of cities in the North the negroes were losing their places because they were not sufficiently we'll trained for their work. Mrs. Williams last year called attention to the fact that the domestic service was not like ly to be popular among negro girls so long as 1t was looked down upon by the more intelligent of the colored race. Attention was called to the fact that a movement was on foot to regulate the intelligence offices in New York city where fraud has been prac- tised upon colored girls coming from the South. In general more thought fulness was reported as shown by the employer towards the employe both North and South, Several enterprises were reported as having been started hv colored men and women having for their end the training of negro ser wants.
 It seems quite clear from the discus sions of the conference that unless the colored people turn their thoughts to preparing themselves for domestic ser vice they will lose their opportunities ing of Japanese youth in regard to do- mestic service is entirely different from that of negro youth. They real ize the great opportunity which life in good family, gives to gain a knowl- edge of the habits and manners of men and women of the highest type of cul- ture.

 This is the first year since 1901 that the college has been out of debt.
