Montgomery, January 10.-(Special.)-
Either the supreme court of the state of
Alabama is capable of a great deal more
work than some other tribunals of the
same class, or members of these others
are Soldering on their paymasters. 1
am told that the supreme court of the
United States, with all its judges, gets
out, say, seventy-five cases a year, while
the Alabama organization of last legal
resort has 600 submitted, or a little over
eighty-five to the man. After the No
vember election the court was increased
from four associates and a chief Justice
ID six and the chief, and when the new
men were installed each was given the
records of thirty-eight cases from those
left over from the previous term. In fact
there are cases with the court now run
ming back for two years, some of the
records are so vouminoLj that it takes a
man a week to read one of them, not to
mention the time necessary to think out
and compile legal opinions.
A leading attorney suggests that there
should be established an appellate court
of limited final jurisdiction to dispose
Of cases up to a certain stage of impor-
tance. 1t has also been thought that if
the court were DIVIDED, allowing one
section to pass on chancery litigation,
another on civil cases not In chancery,
and a third on criminal appeals all to
be supreme, there would be more ease
in handling the business. This would do
away with consultations by the whole
body, which are often productive of de-
lay. All this is talk but it indicates the
interest that attaches to the states high
es legal tribunal. One man has expressed
the belief that there should be an official
whose duty would be to take all cases,
abstract the evidence and arrange the
records in convenient shape for the court.
Ali of which may, or may not be done,
one of these days-but not yet.
The prospect of the state revenue act
being oltlawed is interesting to almost
everybody around the capitol. especially
since it seems that an invalidating de-
esion would mean a hurry up call of the
legislature An important fact in con-
nection with the question is that the law
making body might make any revenue
producing act retroactive, covering that
period during which the disputed law
proposed to operate. This idea is enter

IN NATURE OF A FAKE.
Attempt to Blow Up Frederick the
Great Statue Was Harmless.

Washington, January 10.-The police
investigation of the alleged attempt TO
blow up the statue of Frederick the
Great tends to demonstrate that the
affair was in the nature of fake per-
petrated with the view of creating a
sensation rather than the defacing or
damaging OF the statue.
The investigation shows that the ma
terials used were incapable of produc-
ing serious results.

THE INSURANCE PROBE.
James Hazen Hyde, testifying be.
fore the New York insurance legisla-
tive committee, declared that the, Mer-
camille Trust company, an offshoot of
the Equitable Life, paid $4,000 to
former Gov. Odell in order to prevent
an attack from Albany, as result of
the shipbuilding trust scandal. He ex-
planned the $6s5,O0O yellow dog fund
and charged Hartman and Prick with
conspiring to get him to go abroad.
E. H. Hartman denied on the wit.
ness stand before the insurance inves.
tigating committee that he ever ad-
vised James H. Hyde to settle with
former Gov. OdeN, who was suing the
Mercantile Trust company. MIR. Hyde
reafHrmed his statement. Former Gov.
>Odell asked the privilege of being
heard.
Former Gov. Odell gave Hyde the lie
before the Armstrong committee. He
denied that he sandbagged the Equi-
table into paying the $4,000 shipbuild-
ing claim.
Senator Chauncey NJ. Deepw, who
was on the stand as a witness in the
insurance investigation in New York,
expressed the hope that state legisla-
lures would enact laws forbidding con-
tributlons in aid Of political parties.
He denied lobbying 1T Albany and dis
claimed knowledge of the use Of rail-
road passes to influence legislation.
Richard A. McCurdy, president of
the Mutual Life insurance company,
startled the trustees by announcing
that he had cut his $3.50, salary to
$4,000.
