Montgomery, January 16.-(Special.)-
The first movement for solution of the
court problems, about which Birmingham
is so vitality interested, was made In the
legislature today when bills were intro
duced in both houses to that end. In the
Iusk bill in the senate is proposition to
make all judges circuit judges, doing
away with city judges entirely. Jefferson

each to have a clerk and to divide the
work of the whole court among law and
criminal cases.
Mr.. Glover's bill in the house provides
for two more judges of the Birmingham
city court, which would make seven with
the circuit judge.
Neither Mr.. Lusk nor Mr.. Glover ex-
pect their bills to become law In entirety
but hope that out of the multitude Of leg
islation relief may come.
Mr.. Lusk contends that 1t is not right
for Jefferson to pay one-fifth of the taxes
to recompense circuit judges In the bal

provide for its own courts. Under his
plan the pay all comes out of the state

Another move of Importance was the
report of the judiciary committee asking
for the printing Of 1000 copies of the busk
bill to regulate the liabilities of em-
ployers and masters. In this Dill the
masters or any servant is held liable for
injury to person or property. Another
bill of note was one to prevent the sale
of cigarettes in the state and to punish
false enumeration of children for school
purposes Lusle also presented platform

The bill to regulate tho taxation of
railroad telegraph and telephone COM
panies was reported favorably from the
committee on judiciary. except to insert
before the word telephone the words
'lonR distance" This bill provides that
railroads and wire lines are to be taxed
according to the market value of the
stocks and bonds and the reports made
by the companies to the railroad com
mission instead of by the returns to the
tax officers. Such law, II passed. will
probably double the taxes OF the rail
and telegraph lines in the state, which
are now paying one-sixth of the entire
taxes.

ed to the effect that the Iroquois was
sighted off Midway at s o'clock last
night, Midway time, but that it was
too rough for her even to send boat
ashore for some time
Admiral Very, U. s. NJ, stated this
noon that he had heard nothing from
Midway or the IroquOis.
Seldom has any report excited SO
much interest here as that brought
back by Captain Olsen of the schooner
Luka concerning the alleged disappear
ance of Laysan Island and since the
arrival of the Luka from her vain ef-
fort to find Laysan inquiries have been
constant at all points where informa-
ton might be had.
Everybody among seafaring men pro
fess to hold the opinion that Olsen was
off his course and that Laysan Island
is all right and yet these same men
will inquire diligently of the press
and others supposed to know If there
is any news of Laysan.
Captain Mansfield who took the Luha
to Laysan when Max Scnlemmer re-
turned there, stated this morning that
he was firm in the opinion that Cap
tain Olsen had been off mis- course.
IF Laysan Island had sunk" says
Mansfield there would have been some
sign in the neighborhood to indicate
the fact There were enough wrecks
on Laysan to strew the sea with
wreckage in the event of the island
sinking and the birds who had been
tnhabiting Laysan would make the
sinking of their home manifest by
fiOcking about the spot for a time at
least, in wonder, or migrating toaaOme
other island and their migration, If the
island sunk about the time the Luka
got there, as the Japanese crew of the
schooner would have us think, would
be noticed by the Luka."
1t may be days say those who have
been to Midway before the Iroquoii
can send a boat ashore or get beyond
the reef. In rough weather great com
bers from 30 to 40 feet high break oyel

any message ashore for cabling to Ho-
nolulu.
On the other hand, if the Iroquois
has failed to find Laysan the probabil-
tiles are that Captain Carter would en-
deavor to communicate as soon as pos
sible with Admiral Very, Commandant
of the U. S. Naval Station here.
The U. S. A. transport Logan is due
at Laysan, providing Captain Stinson
held to his avowed intention of looking
up the island and it is not outside the
realm of the possible that the Logan's
wireless might reach the wireless at
the local Naval station with any in
formation of disaster to the island.
1t seems strange that no disturbance
was felt at Midway if Laysan has be-
come the victim of any great seismic
trouble.
1t would seem that a disturbance
great enough to have swallowed Lay
san might have broken the cable be-
tween Honolulu and Midway. The
cable is all right and so is Midway and
since the Iroquois is now off Midway
and would likely signal any important
news she had ashore for cabling, no
news concerning Laysan may be taken
as an assurance that Laysan is where
she was when last visited.
