 Senator Reynolds was for the reso- luton, He was for the resolution be- cause he had steadily opposed the call for the extra session and had gone so far as to urge the Governor to change his mind and not have the Legislature meet.
 While he was a prohibitionist, he would support any proposition to have the Legislature adjourn and go home during the paniclSy period through which the State was passing.
 Declaring that ha was one of the original five who wanted to adjourn on the first day and leave immediately, Senator Jones spoke fin favor of the resolution. and urged its passage.
 "This is no time for agitation" said Senator Jones. We should do all in our power to quiet apprehension The best thing we can do is to quit and so home. to aid as much as lies in our power the restoration of normal con- ditions."
 Senator Jones said he was not only a prohibitionist. but he represented a prohibition constituency.
 At the conclusion of his remarks, Senator Lusk renewed his motion for the killing of the resolution. This the Senate did-ayes. IS; nays. 13.

Moutgomery Commercial CIub Desires Gathering of Business Men Who Intend to Go to Important
 Conference.
 In relation to the approaching wa- terways convention at Birmingham next Tuesday, c. Grosvenor Dave, the Secretary of the Commercial Club, ex- pressed himself as follows to an Ad- vertiser reporter list night: &
 "As nearly as can ascertain, very few men have yet arranged to go from Montgomery to the Birmingham Con- vention, possibly chasing it in their minds with several similar conventions that have in the past thirty years been held at various points throughout the State. This is a serious mistake and one that can possibly injure the tacti- cal importance of the convention.
 "T know 1t was called hurriedly and at a point miles away from naviga- ble stream, but these points do not de- tract from its importance; for 1t is aimed at an expression of State feel- ing. on the waterways of the entire State.
 "Just now the agitation for im- proved waterways Is as wide as the Union and Alabama cannot possibly ar ford to give a weak ineffective utter ance when her own water rights, east
  State, and the final development ot these--the Alabama river among them may be carried to final action in Washington if the matter is strongly presented.
 Imagine what 1t would mean to Montgomery if Lock 31 at Wetumpka were actually the outlet of Coosa pro- ducts. instead of representing. as 1t does now. a vast outlay that can never hn nf fn whole project northward to Lock is adopted and provided for.
 Montgomery must strive for Cooga improvements so that crude materials may reach here easily for manufac- ture and distribution. And the surest way to get that improvement is to join voice with every other interest of the State to speak for Alabama as whole. The day of petty appropria- tions by Congressional Districts iB probably doomed. for it has been found a wasteful policy and void of lasting advantage.
 "The day of greater plans Is coming and 1t is in such day that the hope of Alabama rests for comprehensive rec- ognition. Many men for many years have worked for their beloved State; that the crest of the hill Is near there is no time to rest but the wise thing ia to pull once more for a completed task.
 Then. too. Montgomery's wisest and best men may be needed to prevent stampeding of the convention towards a narrow interpretation of it's task. In view of these facts. ask all who can go to call up the Commercial Club as soon as possible Saturday morning. SO that plans may be matured for arriving at the convention with definite views as to what Montgomery favors and will work for.''

Favorably Reported by Senate Committee. OBJECTIONS KEEP IT
 OFF THE CALENDAR Cannot Come Up for Discussion
 Before Msnday. Amendment Provides Extension of Time for Montgomery, Mobile, Selma and Some Other Cities, Even Should County Election be
 Carried Until October I.

The Carmichael General Prohibition Bill late yesterday afternoon received the endorsement of the Senate Com- mittee on Temperance, but the conn mittee put an amendment in it which will allow the liquor dealers in Mo- bile, Montgomery and Selma until Oc- tober 1, 1908, to close up their busi- ness.
 Senator Mcwhorter tried to get the bill on the calendar yesterday after noon with the committees favorable report, but Senators Thomas and Teas ley objected to the reports coming out {, of it's proper turn and as a result the bill will have to wait until today's ses- sion to get on the calendar. It there fore can not come up for passage or discussion before Monday.
 The amendment giving nine months grace to the liquor dealers under cer- tain conditions was put there through the efforts of Senator Teasley. 1t simply provides that where a prohibit ton election has been held under the local option act before December 12 prohibition may become effective on the following first of January. but in all other counties dealers who already have licenses may have until October list to close out their business.
 The amendment will also affect sev- eral dispensary towns. as we'll as the cities of Mobile. Montgomery and Sell ma.
 The report was decided upon at Tan executive session of the committee held in the late afternoon. During the morn ing a public hearing on the bill was held fin the Senate chamber.
 4 large crowd was present both on the floor and in the gallery. The gal- lery crowd was largely made up of la dies and ministers who appeared to take a deep. interest in the committee meet ing on the floor.
 Delegation from Mobile.
 A strong delegation from Mobile, where the prohibitionists admit they have no chance in a local option elec- tion, came before the committee to protest against the bill.
 Representative Ballard of the House was present at the hearing and he was invited to address the committee on the bill, as representing the prohibition side of the argument. but he said he came to hear and not to be heard.
 The committee was about to favor ably report the bill when the Mobile delegation, headed by Dr. Harry T. Inge, appeared. Dr. Inge delivered a powerful address in opposition to the statutory bill.
 He begged the Senators to under stand that they had a different prop

FIGHT OVER
 PROHIBITION Resolution Not to Take Up 0utside Bills. ANTS HAVE OVER A THIRD Some Voted for It Who Will Not Be
 Against Prohibition. Vote I'm Killing the Resolution Not Ta- ken to Re Accurate Forecast eff Positions When Temperance
 Measure Is Up.
ANTS HAVE OVER A THIRD

The Senate had it's first fight on State prohibition yesterday. The figh, settled nothing.
 1t was over a resolution declaring that the Senate would not take up any bill on any question not named in the call of the Governor.
 The prohibitionists looked upon this resolution as, Grecian horse to get within the citadel. They regarded fl as disguised attempt to slave off afsd beat the prohibition bill and they treated 1t accordingly.
 They killed 1t. but the anti-prohibi- tionists mustered thirteen votes for the resolution. But at least two of those who voted for the resolution declared themselves prohibitionists.
 Under the two-thirds requirement. the antis could beat the prohioitionists if they could continue to- muster thir- teen votes.
 But the prohibitionists claim that some men who voted for the resolu- lion would also vote for the prohibition bill. Senator Lowe. for instance. said he had steadily opposed the opening of the gates for all classes of legisia- ton at the extra session. The line had to be drawn somewhere and he would assist in any movement to cur tail legislation.
  was of special interest. insofar as 1t showed the strength of the contend ing parties. The showing. however, was not absolutely accurate, because. on the final vote there will necessar- fly be some changes.
 The Senate, delayed by the public hearing on the State prohibition bill, was late in assembling for business. The gavel fell at II o'clock, with nearly every Senator in his seat. The opening prayer was offered by Rev. George Hudson. missionary to China.
 Shutting the Gates.
 The old question of opening or shut ting the legislative gates was immedi- ately reopened. In the early hours of the extra sessions, the gates were flung wide open. Under the original resolution, any bill on any subject could be introduced, whether 1t was or was not in the call of the Governor for the extra session. The Senate has undoubtedly become restive.
 The reopening of the question came up in the confederation of the resolu- tion of Senator Teasley, which declared that the Legislature should not con- slider any bill on any subject not named in the extra session call. The resolu- tion was presented at Thursdays ses- sion.
 The prohibitionists did not like the resolution. They considered the reso- lution a masked battery trained upon State prohibition. They. therefore,

osition in Mobile, where fifteen differ ent languages were spoken than in an, other city or section of the State. Mo bile was a cosmopolitan city. he said and the evils of a n-enforced pro hibition were bound to follow,
 Mobile has begun a remarkable growth" said pr. Inge. T beg of you I urge you, not to do what you intend to do and what will put us back many years"
 No good effects, he said, could come from prohibition in Mobile and all the evil effects from such a. law would inevitably follow.
 Even the ministers, he said. were op- posed to statutory prohibition and when he was questioned by Senator Reese as to this statement. he repeated 1t and gave the name ofyDr. McNeill as his authority.
 He spoke of Mobiles splendid school system, model of it's kind but which would necessarily be overthrown under prohibition.
 Some Mobile Letters.
 pr. Inge told of 127 letters which had been sent from Mobile asking for the passage of the bill. These letters. he said. were written on the same typewriter and couched in the same language. and showed that they were originally sent out by the same man.
 Senator Hamburger confirmed this statement, saying he had received the letters. He declared that he did not know over four of the men whose names were signed to the letters, and if the other signers were ever citizens of Mobile. he did not know it. He of- fered to file the letters with the com- mittee.
 He was asked if he did not receive 8 communication from a number of la- dies of Mobile asking him to vote for prohibition. He replied:
 'T did, and while have the greatest respect for the ladies who signed the petition to me, must point out that side of Mason and Dixon's line, and, therefore. not familiar with the con- ditions in Mobile"
 Dr. Inge declared that If the commit tee wished 1t. he could secure a peti- tion signed by hundreds of the very best women of Mobile protesting against prohibition and the evils which would follow in Mobile.
 In an eloquent address, Hon. T. M. Stevens predicted that Eff prohibition is put on Mobile by statute and against Sthe wishes of the people, it will be the deadest letter on the statute books"
 He had been, he said. for many years the prosecuting attorney of Escambia County. a prohibition county. Month after month the same violators of the prohibition laws had been brought up and convicted, yet the illegal sale of whiskey in that county continued. And he could see from the papers that 1t was still going ori.s
 If prohibition was established over the protest of the people. he declared that 1t would result in more evils than could possibly come under any other condition. The law absolutely could not be enforced. They could not get judges enough, they could not get Ju- ries enough to enforce any such un- popular and repulsive laws.
 ''You can not possibly place prohibi. tion under more unfavorable circun- stances than to put it on this commu- nity which does not want it." said MT. Stevens. You say to Mobile. We can trust other communities, but we can not trust you Surely. you do not. think under those circumstances that it can be enforced"

VETERANS HAVELEFT
ALL WE'RE PLEASED WITH THEIR
 TREATMENT HERE.
All the Incidents and Features of the Reunion Passed on In Very Happy Manner to the old
 Soldiers

Practically all of the Veterans who were in Montgomery to attend the an. nual reunion of the Alabama Division of the United Confederate Veterans have now returned to their homes. They left Montgomery greatly pleased with their treatment while here. and with praises and commendation of Camp Lomax and Camp Falkner for the manner in which the reunion was conducted.
 It was. in fact. due in large measure to the members of those two camps and the committees appointed by them, that the reunion was such a success, though the Sons were of incalculable assistance in the work of caring for the visiting Veterans. The general reun- ion committee. headed by John c. Crommelin, was composed in great measure of the Veterans, and they were among the very hardest working mem bers of that organization.
 The comments on the big parade of Veterans and Sons. with other organiz- ations. and their sponsors and maids, were all of highly complimentary char acter to B. M. Washburn. the grand marshal. He arranged the whole order of the Veterans parade, which was fin- ally carried out His aides were Col. T. s. Frazier, of Union Springs; c. w. beers, Ray Jones anu b. M. Wasnpurns Jr.. of Montgomery.
 In connection with the parade, 1t was intended to include the names of the sponsors of the First Brigade.
 In the carriage with Colonel San ford were Miss Janette Hurter. spon- sor. Miss Ruth Fuller. maid of honor, and Miss Annie Bozier Halls. maid of honor.
 Of Camp Lomax. Mrs. John W. A. Sanford was matron of honor. Miss Car oline Hannon. sponsor. Miss Mary Sei- bels Ball and Miss Annie Lou Chiffon, maids Of honor.

PROPOSED TROLLEY LINE.

9GDtG00s
 -Dothan, Nov. 1s.-(SpeciaL) )-The movement to build trolley or electric line between this point and Geneva has suddenly taken on new life. and it now seems to be certainty that the road will be built.
 Richard Tillis, of Montgomery, who also has interests at Geneva, some few weeks ago proposed to build the road provided the right of way was given from Geneva to Dothan together with a bonus of s50,000. This amount was prorated by the towns along the line, Gevena, Slocomb and Dothan, and 9Ge- neva and Slocomb at once set about to raise their amount. Dothans amount was a little slow in coming, and until o'clock yesterday afternoon, the amount had not been raised by sub- scription. A meeting was called. and in this meeting yesterday afternoon, determined citizens set about to the ac. complishment of the purpose of the meeting-raising the remaining amount necessary to secure the signers of the note which MT. Tillis required.
