SENATOR REESE WINS HIS POINT; IS EXCUSED FROM COMMITTEE

Senator Henry F. Reese has won his prolonged fight for relief from service on the Committee on Revision of the Journal. The Senate yesterday gave him the relief he has sought since the session opened.
 Again the echo of the opening light of the Senate as to who should name the committees was heard on the floor. Senator Spragins incidentally appeared in the role of "A man without Q cotin- try The Senators were gingeriy and guardedly discussing the stepchild treatment which was meted out to the minority members when the committees were named.
 The Cunningham men won't let me herd with them because I was an ard ent supporter of Mir. Conner" said Sem ator spragins. "rhe Conner men in the Senate won't let me herd with them because they don't think am one of them. So herd by myself.
 But this is as I should prefer 1t. If had favored the President of the Senate and he should have rendered me. what are considered the most de- sirable committee assignments. should have declined them. for I would prefer to enjoy the privileges of free lance"
 The remarks of the Madison County Senator were consequent upon his ex- planation of the work of the Commit tee on Enrolled Bills. of which he Is chairman. Senator Spragins said he had no fear of criticism following the adjournment of the Legislature. There had been mistakes made by past Leg islatures, and 1t was possible this Leg islature might make similar mistakes.
 The main feature of the Incident, however, was the fact that Senator Reese got the relief he had struggled for since the session opened. He first asked the President to excuse him

from 1t. and coniscated to the use of the numerous telephone companies that might seek to prey upon it.
 Prey to Telephone Company.
 And, Mir. President, what will be the ultimate use to which 1t will be ap- piled? What has been the history of independent telephone companies that have organized in this State7 Their fate is known by all mon. They have beon hampered' and throttled, and their franchises absorbed by the Southern Bell Telephone Company. the greatest monopolistic corporation that ever en- tered the confines of this State, and ttcally puts the railroads of the State at the mercy of the Bell Telephone Company or other straw companies or- Eanized under its direction.
 The Senator from Pike insists that the railroads should be deprived of their narrow strip of land, or q por- ton of it by any telephone company, or any number of telephone comran that desire 1t. and they may not be re- quired even to show that there Is an actual necessity for condemning, nor should 1t be necessary for. them to al- leEe and prove that the condemnation of it will not materially interfere with the public use to which such property is already subjected or devoted.
 MT FFebident: Can 1t be C0ntended that a telephone company with miles and miles of land in this State open to its condemnation, should be allowed to confiscate part of the railroad track without showing any actual necessity therefor. and without being required to negative the fact that 1t will not materially interfere with the present use of the track; that the telephone companies will be allowed to plant their posts on the fills and track of a railroad, and that whenever a faiiroad desires to build a side track or a spur track, or make any other use of their own property which will necessitate the interference or removal of one of these telephone posts. create the neccs- sity of negotiations with the telephone company and get permission to re- move them, or subject themselves to law and suit? The provisions of this bill are so patently unfair, SO unjust and will so reflect upon the patriotism and honesty of this Senate that I do not think 1t demands further discus sion. and unless some other Senator desires to discuss the bill. I move that the motion of the Senator from Pike be laid on the table.
 The motion of Senator Reese pre- vailed.

from that service. This was refused. Then he asked the Senate to relieve him of that duty. But objection was raised. Then he introduced resolu- ton for an excuse.
 The resolution was taken by the Rules Committee and tied out with an adverse report. Then Senator Reese had the resolution taken from the ad- verse calendar. his fellow Senators sympathiizng with him to that extent. So, he called for the passage of the resolution at the session yesterday.
 His plea for relief was short.
 T have been portrayed as an enemy to the administration. If not by Sena- tors; by newspapers in the State said Senator Reese. My course in the Sem ate has belied that charge, but there are some people who stili believe 1t. As a matter of senatorial courtesy. as a personal favor to fellow Senator, I ask you to relieve me from the ser vice on this committee. The point Is one which involves my honor, and hope no Senator will substitute his judg- ment for my judgment on this point.
 Sentor Lusk was of the opinion the Sentor from Dallas attached too much importance to newspaper reports. Newspaper editors and reporters. he declared, were as rule. fntenigent. honest and capable men, but they were liable to make mistakes. All Sena- tors accorded high esteem to the Sem ator from Dallas But Mir. Lusk thought the granting of his request would establish bad precedent. and open the way to any Senator abandon ing committee work not to his liking.
 Only six Senators. however. votea against excusing Senator Reese. Pres ident Gray named Senator Reynolds to succeed Senator Reese on the Commit tee on Revision of the Journal

 The South Jackson Strect car with Motorman Wells and Conductor Joe Peoples was nearing / the Union Street crossing. and within a<dozen feet of the child when he made the attempt to cross the track. The mo- torman applied the brakes with so much force that every wheel of the car was aattened and the friction was so violent that the car, when stopped, was ablaxe. Conductor Peoples reached the child first and picked him up from beneath the car. The screams of the children across the street brought other members of the family to the scens. as the accident occurred direct 1T family, 626 Adams Avenue. Physi- clans were hastily summoned. and the child was carried to St. Margarets Hos pital, where it was found the left leg was cut smoothly off without any mangling of the body.

The motorman according to bystanders, made every effort to avert the acci- dent. the fiattened wheels and the burning car attesting that fact.

 Protesting against certain Legislation pending in the Alabama Legislature. the Montgomery Commercial Club has come out strongly in resolution which has been sent to the lawmak- CTS. in opposition to the passage of ter of the bills is that of fixing the liability of employers to employees in cases of personal injury suffered by the latter. The bills in question are Senate Bills Nos. 6 and 240, and House Bills Nos. 75 and 800.
 At the last meeting of the Commer- cial Club, the following resolution was passed:
 "Whereas, bills have been intro- duced into the Alabama Legislature to fix the liability of employers to em- pioyes in personal injury cases. which will make radical changes in the ex- isting laws and especially in matters of evidence and burden of proof, which will have q tendency to increase liti- gation to the disadvantage of indus trial. mining, building, construction and Transportation enterprises of all kinds:
 And wheras. the inevitable effect of such laws will be to discourage the establishment of such enterprises and the investment of both local and for- eign capital fin this State:
 "Be it resolved by the Board of Di- tractors of the Commercial Club of Montgomery, that such legislation will be detrimental to the best interests of the State of Alabatna; that the atten- tion of all commercial. inanufacturing mining, building. construction and rail- road interests be called to the evils which will result therefrom, and that they he urged to request the Legisla- ture not to enact such laws.
 Be it further resolved. that the president of Nhis club be directed to transmit a copy of these resolutions to the members of the Legislature, to the sther commercial bodies of the State. and to the newspapers" +a4
