SUSPENSE GROWING
DECISION ON PROHIBITION LAW
 EXPECTED SOON.
Alnbama Supreme Court sits Tcmor- row and Decisioss of impcrtsnce Are Expected, Including Tat
 on Prohibition Act.

After a recass which began at me close of the week of February 10, the Alabama Supreme Court will begin to sit at Its spring term tomorrow. eases appealed from the counties composins the First Division will be submitted. These are Baldwin, Clarke. Mobile. Monroe and Washington.
 On the coming together again or the Supreme Court the greatest suspense hangs on the outcome Of the test or the prohibition law. This suspense will grow from the sitting tomorrow until the day when the decision or the Court on this important statute is an- nounced. The announcement Is ex. pected in a few days
 It will be recalled that able and ex- tensive arguments on the constitu- tionality of the general prohibition law were made before the Alabama Su- preme Court last February. The cases came up on appeal from the Circuit Courts of Jefferson and Madison Coun- ties. The prohibition act was upheld in each instance.
 The procedure by which the law was tested started with an application for a writ of mandamus directed at the Probate Judges of the counties seeking to compel those officers to issue H. censes to the petitioners who are sa- loon men. The mandamus was refused in both cases. The cases will proba- ply be joined in the decision of the Su- prenie Court. ..
 It is not likely that the Supreme Court will put out any opinions to- morrow. It Is the custom of the Court to assemble on the first day of the week but adjournment is usually taken until Tuesday when one division of the Court goes on the bench for hearing the formal submissions. Some decis- ions are expected Tuesday.
