 Numerous inquiries have been receiv- ed by the State Superintendent of Ed- ucation and the Secretary of the State Board of Examiners relative to the final disposition made of the cases against numerous negro school teachers involv- ed in the theft of the examination questions last July.

from trip to Mobile and that while there he was assured by some of the best and most conservative citizens that the wrong impression has gone out about the alleged threats that sa- looms would remain open. Governor Conner was most optimistic about the outlook and was of the opinion that there would be a concerted effort on the part of the law abiding citizens to carry out the prohibition laws the first of January. 1909.
 During the course of his interview, Governor Conner said that he has watched the course of events in the municipal affairs of the city of Birm- ingham and would most assuredly in- corporate a commission plan in any call he might make for an etxra ses- sion of the Legislature Governor Co., mer said that he did not mean by this that there was certain to be such a call.
 T have already expressed myself on the question of an extra session" de- clared the Governor. "No Governor likes to call an extra session of Leg islature unless he is compelled to-"
 While Governor Conner refused to say anything further along the lines of whether or not he would call an extra session. his position has already been. defined. When the reports were nrSI c1rculateO aDOuI MODlIe ana poS- sibly Montgomery, openly defying the law, Governor Conner said that he would call the lawmakers together if 1t was found that the present laws were inadequate. In making this as- sertion Governor Conner at that time intimated that he would exhaust every means at hand before convening the Legislature to enact additional laws. The Governor has no hesitancy in as- serting at the present time that he found conditions in Mobile much bet ter than have been reported.
 "I was in Mobile during the State reunion of the Confederate Veterans" said Governor Conner Monday after noon. "and found that the most con- servative people there are of the opinion that every saloon door win close on January 1. They gave me the assurance that every effort would be made to uphold the laws. found nothing to indicate there will be any vicious attempt to violate the law and I feel that if there are fragrant viola tions, they can be stopped.
 q might also add that l believe the letter of the law will be carried out in Montgomery.

IS HUNTED
YOUNG MAN HAS MYSTERIOUsLY
 DISAPPEARED.
Was Put or Car To Which He Be- Ionged And Has Not Been Seen Since-Fear of Foul
 PInY.

The police are on the lookout for white man. twenty years old and named John G. Flowers. who has been mysteriously missing from the house in Atlanta which he represented, the Dunn Publishing Company, of Atlanta, It is feared that the man has met with foul play
 Flowers is a printer by trade. He Is reported to have come to Montgom- cry accompanying car of stuff shipped through here by the concern which he represented. Perhaps it is inaccurate to say that Flowers ever was in Montgomery by the police of Atlanta and his employers believe that he was here for a while any how.
 He was put of the car to which he was attached by order of the Dunn Publishing Company. This was evil dently because 1t was believed that he had no right on the car. This is de- nied by his employers however. who declare that young Flowers was fur nished with a ticket from the Atlanta and West Point Railway as soon as the car reached the Georgia capital.
 It was between Atlanta and Mont gomery that the company has failed to get a check on the young man.
 Mir. Flowers photograph has been mailed to the local police with urgent request that a search be made for him. He is a tall young man with a dark complexion.

At the Majestic.

AE tmG uAAyCo@AS"
 In the meandering of the vaudeville circuit there has come to the Majestic Theatre a bill of unusual merit for the week, The four-act bill which made It's initial appearance Monday night. brings out laughs where laughs should rightly belong, and real appreciation of the more serious stunts.
 The Clemenso Brothers in their nov city musical act, present an amuse- ment new to the vaudeville stage of Montgomery, and enjoyable through out. These most musical men, who emit notes at every turn and movement woo harmony from objects seemingly devoid of the slightest musical ex- pression. And with their varied per formance, both are acrobats Of no mean ability. The combination of their musical and physical powers is original and pleasing. The Clemenso Brothers were seen in Montgomery once before, and only once, when they accompanied the Devils Auction Company in 1907. To their work of that performance the ey have added new and spectacular skits.
 Somers and Storke, in their little one-act pIaylet, "Jackson's Honey moon," produce for the delectation Of the audience, one series of laughs at their bride and groom predicaments. They are both musicians anu Wlth novel accompaniments.
 Linden Beckwith furnishes a per formance that is entirely new. Billed as the Girl in the Golden Frame" she appears. as the curtain rises, standing within a great oval frame. with back ground of black velvet, throwing her self and her brilliant costumes into bold relief, as she sings songs in a de- ligh tfuI way.
 Askeland. the Scandinavian violin let nrovaa himself A master of the in. strument with which his name Is linked, and is good for several recalls such as the first performance brought him.
 And even the motion picture for the first week is good. Rider Haggards imaginative romance, ''She," Is depicted i'm life, and in a truthful way that is thrilling and interesting.

A, Wilson at The Grand.

"when Old New York Was Dutch" with Al Wilson. for so many years a strong attraction throughout the South with his golden voice, was the at traction at the Grand Monday night. The same catchy Dutch dialect, good scenery. and play calculated to set off MT. Wilson were all to be seen, but the golden voice was not present
 Not so very many years ago MT. Wilson played to packed houses. IL wasn't because of his acting, his play or his company. the audiences wanted to hear a magnificent voice. Not so long ago the voice was there, and Mr: Wilson had songs that were we'll adapted. Therefore. packed houses were the rule.
 But nowadays, the voice is no more. But more than this the songs have disappeared. Song writers of the pres ent time do not turn out such melodies as the "Winding of the Yarn rhe Tea-kettle Song" and yodel songs. In their places have como the popular jingle that no voice can render Wltn any degree of satisfaction.
 Last nights production pleased. however, for there was fair audience and at the end of the third act MT. Wilson was called before the curtain six times, on the last response making a -welI-turned little speech.
 Perhaps the best person in the com pany was little olive Wright. "a wee mite of a Dutch." In several scenes he supplied the comedy, and always showed himself at ease in his part. Children on the stage equal to their parts are few and far between. and It was with distinct pleasure that the audience generously applauded Mas ter Wrights acting.
 The next attraction at the Grand is Florence Gear in Marrying Mary" to be seen tonight.
