MAY RE-ESTABLISH
 INFERIOR COURT Suit Brought Against Judge
 Brodie at EnsIey BY ROBERT FREDERICK
The Rev. ]. c. Morley, Missionary In Japan, to Lecture at the cumber-
 land Presbyterian Church Tomorrow Night.

Ensley, February 22.-tspecial.)- IA suit was instituted in the circuit court of Jefferson county today for the purpose of re-establishing the inferior court of Ems ley, which was some time ago declared unconstitutional by the courts.
 The style of the case is State of Ala bama ex relatio, Robert Frederick vs James Brodie, and was brought by At torneys Frank Deedmeyer and James A. Mitchell.
 The Ensley inferior court was estab- llshed about the time that the inferior court of Birmingham was established and by special act of the legislature which was similar to that establishing the Bir- mingham tribunal The Ensley court went out on about the same grounds with the Birmingham court and now that the Birmingham court has been re-established by the supreme court those interested hope to re-establish the court at Ensley in the same way.
 Though it is understood that enough diff ference exists between the two acts and legislature to necessitate the judgment Of the supreme court.
 The case. if sustained by the supreme court will affect three justice courts in this city; those presided over by Jus tices of the Peace James Brodie, W. H. Mandy and J. M. Donaldson. It is un- derstood that attorneys will be employed by one or two and possibly all these officials to fight the case in the courts.
 fbo in,a Inf. ix, operation w. H. Mandy was the pre- siding judge and if the court is re-es- tablished he will again be in charge of it.
 Lecture on Missions.
 The Rev. J. c. Morley. a noted mis- sionary in Japan, will arrive in Ensley Saturday afternoon and will lecture on missions at the Cumberland Presbyterian church Saturday night at 7:SO o'clock.

Romans Artificial Leg.

The oldest artificial leg in existence Is now in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, says the British Medical Journal. It was found in tomb at Capua, and is described in the cata- logue as follows:
 Roman artificial leg; the artificial limb accurately represents the form of the leg; 1t is made with pieces of thin bronze, fastened by bronze nails to a wooden core. Two iron bars, having holes at their free ends. are attached to the up- per extremity of the bronze; a quadrila- teral piece if iron, found near the posi- ton of the foot is thought to have given strength to 1t. There Is on trace of the foot and the wooden core has nearly crumbed away. That skeleton had its waist surrounded by belt of sheet bronze edged with small rivets. probably used to fasten a. leather lining. Three painted vases Cred figures on black ground) lay at the foot of the skeleton. The vases belong to rather advanced period in the decline of art (about 300 years B. O."
