the regular sessions, but the majority OF the
members expressed their approval Of the plan
anC 1t finally was adopted.

SPEAKER MARTIN ILL
MAY NOT PRESIDE AGAIN BEFORE
 RECESS.
Presiding Officer of Lower House Con- fined to Bed With Attack of Pneu- monia--Condffion Not Consid- cred Serious.

It is doubtful whether Speaker Mar tin will again preside over the sessions of the House before the recess of the Legislature is taken next Monday. He days, being finally compelled to give up his duties and leave the House Monday morning, and has since been confined to his bed.
 Representative StegalI of Dale was called to their chair to serve Monday, remaining in charge of the delibera- tions of the House until final adjourn ment was reached at 10 o'clock that evening, and the next morning, the Speaker being still too i'll to resume his duties, Representative Archie Carmich- ael of Colbert county was elected Speaker pro tenn, as provided in the Constitution.
 Yesterday the illness of Speaker Mar tin was diagnosed by the attending physician as a mild case of pneumonia, and while from the statements given out. no concern is felt for his recovery, 1t will likely be more than the five days that now intervene before the final adjournment for the recess is taken before he is able to be out.
 This is the second case of pneumonia that has developed among the mem bers of the House since the session be- gan. Representative R M. Lee of Barbour county Is now convalescent from the same disease
 It has been suggested that the ill., ness of both Mir. Lee and Speaker Mar tin may be due to the lack of modern arrangements for the ventilation of the chamber. There is no way provided for aky ventilation except by opening the windows at the opposite ends of the hall which creates draught. The hall naturally becomes too heated for com fortable occupancy if all the windows are left closed.
