CAPITOL COMMISSION
GOVERNOR WILL SUBMIT PLANS
 FOR INTERIOR.
Protest by Commercial and Industrial Association Against Separate Ju- dicial Building May Be Again
 Brought Before OfEicerR

The Capitol Building Commission will hold another important meeting today In the private office of Governor Jelks. The members, including the Governor, State Auditor T. L. Sowefl Secretary of state p. R. McDavid, torney General Massey wilson, viii again discuss the plans for renovating the interior of the capitol and the cree tion of the separate judiciary building.
 Governor Jelks. 1t Is understood. will at this meeting have In readiness the interior Improvement plans. They will be merely tentative and may or may expected that steps will be taken at once to adopt the final plan for the judiciary building which was decided upon at B meeting early in March.
 At the last meeting of the commis- sion In April a committee on civic im- provement of the Montgomery Con- mercial and Industrial Association ap- peared before the commission and reg istered a vigorous protest against the erection of the judiciary building. 1t is said that these gentlemen made fa- vorable impression on the commission and interest in all future meetings of that body attaches to the possibility of ing for this separate structure.
 The objection to the judiciary build ing, 1t IS claimed by the opponents, arises not from any jealousies of the Supreme Courts benefits in the prem ises, but from the loss of an opportun- ity to increase the room for over-crowd- ed departments by enlarging the pres ing the architectural beauty.
