President Gray Cast First
 Vote os, the Twenty-eighth Day

It came to pass that on the twenty eighth day of the legislative session, Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray had a chance to vote. He voted aye" amid applause.
 The applause was not that the Senate and the gallery was especially interest ed in the question at Issue or that the vote of the President of the Senate set tied great ques ion. It was given in honor of the occasion of the Presidents first vote.
 The vote was on the passage of the bill of Senator Reynolds to provide school books for indigent children of the State. considerable portion of the Senate took position against the bill on the ground that 1t was a species of paternal legislation.

urEROyYM0Us BROTHERS WIN
 WATER CoNTR0vERsY.
HeAa1e Firm Gets . Dcefsisn In the United States Supreme Court. Plant Damaged For Lack
 of Water.

Mobile, Feb. ao-tspecial by Long Distance Telephone IA suit which has been threshed backward ana forward in the courts of the city, State and United States, for the past ten years. has just been decided in the highest tribunal, and 1t is now up to the de- fendant to pay and end the litigation.
 About eleven years ago. the water supply of Hieronymous Brothers. oper- ating a saw mill on the river front. was cut on by the Bienville Water Supply Company for the on-payment or wa- ter rent. Later. the water company brought suit against the Hieronymous Brothers to recover the amount of wa ter rent During the Interval between the cutting of of the water supply and the hearing of the suit for water rent. a ire occurred, and the saw mill plant was badly damaged. Hieroynmous Brothers then brought suit for s10.00o damaees. because of the cutting off of the water.
 On two different occasions. Hierony- for s5,00o.
 This afternoon, Messrs. Gregory L.. and Fl. T. Smith. attorneys for Hier- onymous Brothers, called attention that the United States Supreme Court had affirmed a judgment of the lower court.
 Tn view of the fact that the water works company was recently taken over by. the city of Mobile. the ques- ton has been asked If the city Is lia- bic for the judgment. Gregory L. Smith states that he does not think so. as 1t is more than likely that the Bienville people had filed a supersedeas bond with the city, covering the pending suit.

 The bill had been discussed on a pre- vious day when 1t was up for consider ation, and the Senate yesterday spent but little time on It. Senators Gum and Barbour presented amendments which were engrafted into the bill. Sen ator Jones took the floor in opposition to the measure. He opposed 1t because in his opinion. 1t appeared as paternal- istic Legislation. He opposed Ii for the reason that no parent or guardian in his County would sver accept the gratuity of the State. They already sent their children to school, and they were able 0 supply them with books.
 The amendments were adopted one after another by a close vote. Then the bill came up for passage or rejection Ayes and noes were so evenly called out that no surprise was felt when Reading Clerk Proctor handed the vote up to the President, who said:
 T. appears that the vote is a tie, IL ayes and Is noes"
 At this juncture. applause, which is most intrequcnt in the Senate. broke out, for 1t was realized that the first chance had come to the President tC cas-. vote. President Gray rapped for order and said.
 The President votes aye" Whereat the applause began all ovei again.
