EXTRA SESSION
 TO BE INTERESTING
LEGRAND FEARS CONSIDERATION OF EMPLOYERS LIABILITY. CALL WILL BE ISSUED ABOUT OCTOBER 7-SoME GOSSIP.

While Governor Conner has made no statement relative to what will GA con sidered by the legislature in extra ses- sion. other than the amendment to the railroad rate bill, the impression ex- isting that there is a possibility of a state prohibition bill being considered IS well. has caused politicians to wonder if still other things will not demand the attention of the lawmakers.
 M. P. LeGrand of Montgomery, vice president of the First National bank of that city, thinks that it is possible from impressions that he has gathered, that other things than railroad rates and pro hibition will be taken up. He is not sure but that the legislature will bring up again the employers liability bill, an act which is said to have received ad- ministrative approval, and which stirred the state, on account of it's alleged stren- uosty, from top to bottom.
 Cover Conner made the statement yes- terday that any report that the legisld- ture would consider any other matter save the determination of (Which shall rule the state, the people or the railroads? ?' was without authority from him. In course of the conversation he intimated that the date of the issuance of the call would probably be October !. As stated in The Age-H erald of yesterday, the extra ses- sion will probably be called for Novem- bar 1

TO MEET IN TUSCALOOSA

The building committee of the Univer- sty of Alabama held it's second meeting since it's appointment, in the office Of the First National bank yesterday after noon.
 The committee was adjourned with the understanding that there would occur another session in Tuscaloosa, either this week, or the first of next
 The committee adopted plans and speci- fications, and decided on the sites of the three new buildings panned-a central heating and electrical building, a labora- tory for the biological and chemical de- partments and an engineering building.
 In addition to the above, terms with Robert Lockwood of Montgomery. uni- versity architect, were concluded. At the meeting in Tuscaloosa, the committee will simply agree upon time for the start ing of building. As money is available Dr. Abercrombie, president of the uni versity, stated yesterday afternoon that the~e was hardly q doubt but that the erection of the three new structures will be commenced within a very short time
 The time of starting the buildings will be significant, as then will be the begin ming of the Greater University of Ala bama. for which the alumni have worked so hard for several years. The plans Of the committee will not be fulfilled with the erection of these three buildings On account of the need, it was agreed to begin these first. In course of time sev- eral more buildings will be erected, and much landscape architectural work done on the grounds and surrounding coun- try.
 Governor Conner presided at the meet ing yesterday. Dr. Abercrombie, president and Dr. E. A. Smith and MT. Edgar Kay of the university faculty, were in at tendance. NJ P. LeGrande of Montgom- cry. pr. J. H. Johnston of Talladega and Judge T. w. Coleman of Eutaw members of the committee, were present Judge T. c. Mcclellan of Athens was the only absent member.

 Under the circumstances. therefore, this company will hesitate no longer in granting this privilege and will issue school children tickets. as heretofore. as soon as the necessary arrange ments can be made to carry the same into effect.
 T feel that this company and the general public are under obligations to Mr. Nesbitt for bringing about this solution of troublesome question.
 At the time the anti-pass law was passed. we had in the hands of printers an order for a supply of school child ren tickets and held ID the same, be- lieying that we could not issue them. This order for the printing has since been confirmed and we expect to have a supply ready for distribution by the end of next week. Due notice of the date these tickets will be ready for issuance will be given.
 In the matter of policemen and firemen. we are now working on plan and hope to complete same within a very short time that will settle this question also, and enable the policemen and hremen of the city to ride on the cars freely"

COMMISSIONERS WAIT
 NOT THE GOVERNOR
POLICE SHOWERS DO NOT WANT TO TAKE OATH UNTIL WARD RETURNS OR WOULD HAVE LONG BEFORE.

Governor Conner stated yesterday that he $ waiting on the police commissioners to take their oaths. It is up to the com missioners which he appointed by tele- gram to take oath legally, just the same as a justice of the peace does; file the oath with the department of state at Montgomery, and then the governor will issue the formal commissions.
 T will have nothing to do with the commission so far as swearing It in IS concerned. 1 have been expecting them to file their oaths In Montgomery for some time I do not know whether they will have to appear personally in Mont gomery or not said the governor.
 It would thus seem that the new police commission of its own free will has chosen not to go into office. It would appear that they prefer to walt until Mayor Ward returns, and do not desire to or ganize under the Parker administration.
 The Mayor will probably return Mon day or Tuesday and immediately after ward the oaths of office will be filed.

BELT FRANCHISE
 NOT SETTLED YET
Alderman Hogan Investigates Whether 1t Has Been Tempered With.
 O'NeiIl-Jones Controversy.

Ordinance No 106, granting to the Blr- mingham Belt railroad franchise along Thirtieth street, has been held up, and by request of Alderman Hogan. Acting Mayor Parker has not affixed his sigma ture to 1t.
 It was discovered yesterday that the ordinance extended to Sixth avenue along the street, whereas the railway commit tee had merely agreed that it should extend to Fifth avenue, and both Alder men Hogan and o'Neill consider tnem- selves personally responsible to the peo- pie of that ward not to allow the tracks to go any further than Fifth.
 Whether it was accidentally written, or purposely, is not known. Attorney Smith and Clerk Murray could not be seen yes- terday and the matter will be continued unti, Monday. In case the Sixth avenue provision is bona fide the bill will Dc Vetoed. and another introduced at the next meeting.
 The discussion over the question of whether Harry Jones or Alderman Neill is right in the matter of 5000 or $5eJJ license is beginning to develop into 1 conclusion that both may be right
 Clerk Murray testifes that the Bir- mingham Belt railroad refused to accept the grant on Thirteenth street for $500O, and that the highest price received by the board for two tracks on one block of street has been s10Oo per block by the Illinois Central railroad. The general charge for single track has been, accord ing to the clerk, sl00 per block. He be- lieves that this is the first time soOO has been asked and accepted for single track on block of street.
 MT. O Neill points out that the present franchise is on Thirtieth street, and has no connection with the Thirteenth street grant.

L. M. SHAVER, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HUMANE ALLIANCE, AR RIvES AND CHOOSES THE BEST POINT FOR MEMORIAL.

Officer Bennie of the Humane society held a conference yesterday morning with the representative of the National Hu- mane Alliance, Lewis M. Seaver of New York; relative to the site of the drink ing fountain for horses which the all llance proposes to present to Birming- ham.
 They found that the place offered by the Terminal company is entirely too small, as the alliance requires q place where animals approach the foun- tain from all sides
 Sixth avenue and rwenty-first street has been suggested as practical point, if the Board of Aldermen will grant the space on the right hand side of the street. This will be referred to Mayor Ward when he returns.
 MT. Seaver is on his way to Mobile and New Orleans, where he will locate fountains. He has just finished placing one in Augusta, Ga. The fountains cost about 5000. and Is especially valuable.
