sary in Madison county was made pub

POLITICAL GOSSIP OF THE
NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

There are five working days of the senate
gone before he assumes his office as eX-
offcio president of the senate. The senate
under the constitution can do no business
of Importance until the committees are
provided and appointed To postpone
these until after the lieutenant governor
assumes his duties is to waste one-tenth
of the constitutional time of the senate.
There is a widespread idea that tn
appointment of committees is conferred
upon the lieutenant governor by the c3c-
stitution This is an error. This power =
with the senate alone. The senate has
power under the constitution to provide
rules for its own government and arrange
the rules on the number of members and
manner of appointment of the standing.
special and joint committees. The SEN
ate can confer this power upon the ex-
officio president, the president pro TEN,
or may elect the committees or otherwise
provide for their appointment. The man
ner is with the senate and not tRs con-

Montgomery. December IA meeting
of the street railway, gas and electric men
of the state has been called for Monday
of next week, the sessions to be held at
the New Exchange hotel. The men who
will be here will be guests of the Mont
gomery Light and Power company and
the Montgomery Traction company, the
officers of which companies are promoters
of the movement. After the session ban
quest will be given in the dining rooms
of the hotel
I'VE are inviting the Alabama men in
terested in this class of enterprise to o
meeting here that we may talk over many
matters of interest to the power, fuel and
illuminating business" said General Man
ager Robert j. Chambers this morning.
''There are many things that ought TO be
looked into in such a gathering. and 1t
seems to us that we can get at them bet
ter by a general discussion thatn in any
other way. The invitations are sent by
General Manager W. II. Ragland of the
Traction company and myself, and we
hope and expect to have large atten-
dance The date is next Wednesday, De-
cember 49,"
The list of cities and towns which will
be represented includes Birmingham, Mo-
bile, Selma, Admission, Huntsville, Flor
ence, Opelika, Troy, Decatur, Union
Springs and several others. The repre-
sentatives will be here much of the day
and go carefully over the many things
that have to do with this class of bus
mess, now getting to be one of the most
extensive in the state. 1t will be a sur
prise to many to discover how much
money is tied up in this kind of business.
The Montgomery Light and Water
Power company is one of the progressive
concerns of the city that has adopted tine
eastern plans of handling business of this
kind. Every two weeks the employees aIe
gathered in the handsome rooms on DeX-
ter avenue and a general discussion is
entered into by those who have the bus
mess in hand. Every department is looked
after, and it is a time when each man,
no matter how far down the line he may
serve may speak out his mind. Often the
men in the least responsible places make
suggestions that are of great value to the
management
This kind of meeting was held last
night, a which time the paper was by
Secretary and Treasurer V. b. Day He
has recently taken up the work here and
has made many friends by his affable

partment has to do with all the manu-
featuring and producing and the men get
great good from the advice of others.

Did Not Join the Navy.

This is a story of a man who did and
did not join the navy. Only a few days
ago William I. futile was hard work.
ing young fellow of the city. He gave up
a good job and Joined the navy. Today
lie is not a member of Uncle Sans fight
ing forces in embryo though it is not his
fault and he is out with only credit to-
himself.
Mr. futile, who is barely past his ma
1ority, went into the service via the re-
cruiting office in the government building.
He was found to be good man and was
gladly accepted. However as soon as his
parents found that he had enlisted there
was a cry against it and they at once set
to work to get him out. Congressman
Wiley and other notables were called into
play and the matter taken to Washing
ton. Today the order came from the
Washington office to annul the enlist
ment, and Mr. futile is not a member of
the navy but simply an honored private
citizen of Montgomery. Though they
wished him we'll in his new duties, his
many friends are happy that he is not to
leave the city.
1t is remarkable that very few of the
applicants for enlistment here were ac-
cepted The doctor found many of them
unable to meet the physical requirements
and the actual enlistment of the city was
found to be poor in point of numbers,
though Lieutenant Allen is very much
pleased with the personel.
Odd Fellows Vote.
The count of the vote just made of the
grand lodge of Alabama, Odd Fellows,
shows that at the recent elections for
grand officers, the following were elected,
by the indicated votes:
Grand Master-Tyler Goodwin, Mont
gomery; E. Erswell, Birmingham, 442.
Deputy Grand Master-W. e. Urquhart,
Birmingham, 1113.
Grand Warden-Ormond, $50; Freeman,
49, Randolph 143; Brabson, SO.
Grand Secretary-H. L. Mckee, 1872; w.
c. Wheeler S44.
Grand Treasurer. c. Bowie, ITO.
Grand Representatives.. E. Meadow,
G5S; w. c. Wheeler, 5l2.
The new grand master IS one of the
best known men in the state. He is one
of the nominees to the legislature from
Montgomery and candidate for speaker.
There is no more popular man in the order
in the state than f. Erswell, who ran
against Mr.. Goodwin. For years he held
the office of grand treasurer, and at one
time years ago when a bank failed car
rying with it $1,000 of the lodges funds,
he made it good without word, holding
that he was expected to do so.
