MT. Glover and the governors private secretary went carefully over the bill tonight and 1t is quite likely the eXecu- tive will get it out with his first batch tomorrow Members of the Birmingham crowd say the question of legality of the superior or additional circuit judge bill is settled by many recent decisions.

 Some members of the judiciary com mittee of the house feel offended at the publication with regard to the employers liability bill reported favorably last week and now in the calendar as rewritten by MT. King
 One of them said: This bill was in troduced early in the session ana no at tention paid to 1t. Finally 1t was taken up and rewritten to eliminate certain ob- iectional features, and no voter has ever appeared to either commend or condemn the measure We sare. not WeddeS to any portion of it, but think 1t is not nearly so bad as painted. The Lusk redistricting bill was passed

 The senate and house agreed to change tbe day of adjournment for the recess from Saturday, March 2, to Monday, March 4.

The Lusk bill, to provide commission to look into the judicial situation of the state and report on the needs of it at a later day, took up most of the time of the afternoon session of the senate NIT. Lush provided for this commission to be made
 Ip of men outside the legislature and to work between now and the next ses' sion of the lebislature. An amendment was offered that the commission be made up of members ol the two houses, two from the senate and three from the house,
 MT. Thomas argued that the amend ment was unconstitutional on the ground that no member shall profit by any act of the legislature of which he is part.
