 Antf-Lobbying Measure.
 An anti-lobbying bill now in the hands of the Judiciary Committee, will demand much of the time of the mem" bers of that committee until some form of anti lobby ing bill Is agreed upon.
 The present bill. which was drawn and introduced by Representative Sam win John of Jefferson, is said not to be favored by majority of the mem hers of the committee. It Is expect ed a compromise measure to prevent lobbying will be introduced.
 The interest in railroad Legislation is centered in the Senate. where the railroad bills endorsed by the admin istration were first introduced. The public hearing of these bills Tuesday will draw to Montgomery President w. W. Finley of the Southern, Pres ident J. F. Hanson of sthe Central or Georgia, Third Vice-President A R. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville and a number of other prominent men of the South. The hearing will DC in the Senate Chamber by the Com mittee on Commerce and Common Car riers, and 1t will cover the range Of railroad legislation favored by the ad- illustration of Governor Conner.
 A message Is expected by the Senate from Governor Conner. submitting a list of names of men as members ofthe Board of Trustees of several State tn- stitutions. It will be recalled that appointments to fill the vacancies were made by Governor Jelks before his term expired. and that the Senate postponed their confirmation until the new administration should come in.
 The day following the induction of Governor Conner into office, he sent message to the Senate. withdrawing the appointments made by Governor Jelks. The list included half a dozen members of the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Girls Industrial School at Montevallo. Until the appointments lare made there can be no meeting of the Board to decide the amount of ap- propriati the school will ask for at the present session of the Legislature.
 Hearing on Local Option.
 The local option bill, which has aroused so much interest in Alabama, has been set for public hearing be- fore the House Committee on Temper ance, Tuesday afternoon. The bill Is backed by the ti-Saloon League of Alabama, and it has had strong del- egation of workers urging the meas ure since the Legislature convened. The bill is regarded as one of the most sweeping local option measures that has ever been presented to the Legislature and both sides of the ques- ton will participate in the public dis cussion of the bill before the commit tee.
 The week will in all probability be well filled with educational legisla- tion It is said to be the wish of the that the measures which make appropriations for cduca- tional purposes should be given prcce- dence over all other appropriation bills Most of the school appropriation bills have already been introduced, and all the state institutions of learning, to- gether with the friends of the common schools, are anxious to get their bills through in the first half of the ses- sion.
 The Judiciary Committee will be busy with the Lusk judicial bill. which vitally affects every judicial circuit of the State. The committee will devote some time to the consideration of this easure. as it is regarded as one of the most important pieces of legislation yet presented. The conflicting inter- ests which the bill may touch will give some embarrassment to its consldera- ton.
