There were great doings in the Senate last night. Senator Lusk broke out ana In carefully prepared speech. Vehemently, and at times bitterly. ar- raAgned The Advertiser. Judge Thomas U. Jones. of the Federal Court. and others whom he considered as enemies or the present State administration. His wrath was particularly directed at The Advertiser, which he described
 as that sheet on the corner. from the masthead of which the flag of treason has only recently been drawn" and as that sheet whose bonds are own. ed. Lord knows where.
 He arratgned the action of Judge Jones in the trial of the Huntsville iynchers and declared that he had
 gone into a neighboring county to try a lot of white men for killing . negro on the ground that the negro was Killed simply because he was q negro.
 He called Judge Jones a Judge mot oy the endorsement of the horny hand ed sons of Alabama but by appoint ment from Theodore Roosevelt" continuing Senator Lusk said He never got that endorsement from the horny handed son of Alabama. We might guess where the endorsement for that came from or we might ask the Senator from Macon where 1t came from"
 The remarks of Senator Lusk in these two particulars. are published in full nearly as they could be secured. Senators Resent statenents.
 Nor did the Marshall Senator escape scathless after his vehement effort of an hour and twenty minutes. At one part of his speech he was describing the way in which the Blackmon Bill was brought up and both Senator Barbour. who had yielded his call, and Senator Blackmon, whs had secured the call. both resented the remarks l as containing an unwarranted sinsfnua tion.
 Senator Barbour arose In interrup- tion to tell the Senator from Marshall that he had voluntarily given his call to Senator Blackmon and that there was no trick or subterfuge in 1t. "Oh, well, I've reused you, have I? If shoot at a deer and hit rabbit. I can't help it.
 At the conclusion of Senator Lusk's speech. Senator Barbour arose. An insinuation has been made here and I resent 1t as baseless and false.' .' T assure the Senator that I had no intention of casting any insinuation.'' said Senator Lusk. soothingly. But Senator Barbour refused to be paci- fled.
 The qualities of a rabbit have been attributed to me- said Senator Bar bour. continuing. and shaking his fin- ger at the Marshall county Senator. T want to say that I would rather possess the qualities of q rabbit than have the qualities of a hyena." The galleries had been crowded dur ing the debate and at this remark they burst into the loudest roar of applause that has been heard during the ses- sion. Some Senators on the floor joined in the applause.
 Senator Reese. also. felt called upon to reprove the Marshall Senator for. as gal profession in criticising publicly . judicial officer.
 And Yet The Bim Passed.
 It all happened over the Blackmon bill amending the anti pass law so that sheriffs and their chief deputies could ride on passes. Incidentally 1t might be said that notwithstanding the fight on the bill by the Governor and the Senate leader of the administration forces the bill was passed.
 In his speech Senator Lusk took oc- casion to declare that there was no possibility of the bill ever becoming a law, for the Governor would certainly veto 1t.
 By no means the dullest feature of the debate on the bill was the arr raignment of Senator Lusk for taking slO a day while serving as member of the oCde Committee. which under the Constitution committees of the Leg islature receive only $4 a day for each member. an arraignment made by Sem ator Thomas.
 Senator Lusk in his speech admitted that under the Constitution members of a legislative committee were entitled to only S4 a day for their services, but he said the bill had been passed by the members of the Senate and with the other members of the committee he drew that amount of pay.
 Senator Thomas declared that Sena- tor Lusk was endeavoring 10 lay nis violation of Constitutional law on the majority of the Senate
 Tt isn't true and he knows 1t isn't true declared Senator Thomas. The attack on The Advertiser came early in the evening session; The piil being the special business before the Senate. was taken up as soon as the roll call had been called Senator Lusk at the Tuesday night session had offered an amendment to the bill striking out the provision which permitted United States marshals and their deputies to ride free quite clear as to the position or the senator from Calhoun and the Senator from Barbour They seemed to resent being called antis. He woud give his authority for his belief. I
