 Depends en SuDEsnns Csurt. It Is known that the prohibttionists want some extra iegfslatjon. They want a law abolishing the locker sys- tenn in vogue all over the State; they wish State constabulary service. whereby violators of the Jaw both in the country and in the city may be ar rested; they want . law whereby the State may secure c change of venue, thereby gaining additional chances for . conviction. when an indictment has been returned by the grand jury. There is also the chance that the whole pro hibition law will be declared uncon- stitutional. when the Supreme Court reassembles on April 5.
 It is the strong belief in the Capitol circles that the law will be declared unconstitutional, and 1t is known that Governor Comer wishes some immedi- ate action. in case such decision Is the Supreme Court is now but few | weeks away. and the anti-prohibition- ists are extremel yconfdent that the decision will be made for them. 1t Is known also that Governor Co., mer wishes to reintroduce his bill for compulsory education. This bill at the first session of the Legislature was | side-tracked in som emanner, but It Is | stated upon authority that Governor Conner has written the Representative from Bibb County requesting him to
 rehash his bill and prepare his argu-
 ments upon the matter, for the subject will be Included in his call for the
 special session. | The greater Birmingham bill will also be included in the call for the special session. Representative Jerry | King of Birmingham. called upon the | Governor yesterday afternoon relative and Senators have also expressed their | opinion, that the matter sh ould be in- cluded in the call off the special ses-
 sion.
 When seen last night. Governor Co- mer said that the presence ofso many legislators In the city had no connec-
 ton whatever with the call of the
 special session: that they had come tc present certain meters to the atten-
 ton of the Board Of Compromise; thal Representative King had come down
 from Birmingham to talk over rne | greater Birmingham bill
 "The call for the special session of
 the Legislature" said Governor Conner | depends entirely upon the decision ol
 the Supreme Court, which are handed | down upon their meeting on April 5
 after the recess period"
 But no matter, the special session
 will be called. according to Capitol of
 ficials, on account of the defcit in tn
 State treasury This opinion is firmly
 fixed in the minds of the State oficials
 They state that 1t is merely a matter | of patience for a few weeks before the
 cali. will be issued. and that the real
 reason for the call will be prohibition
 and the State deficit.

NEGRO TRIES
 TO ESCAPE Almost Pounds Way to
 Freedom. CAUGHT BY TIE JAnEs
Uses Railing from Gallows Steps
 as Weapon.
Nesro Beats IAte the Celaent snd Brick With Heavy Piece .ef Iron
 Piping, and Freedom Was
 Near When Discovered.

Abraham Lemons. a negro, held at the jail for murder. broke all records ct attempts to escape yesterday. Not that he got out-such e stunt borders on the impossible-but he came nearer to freedom than has any other of those who have made the many at- tempts.
 When two or three heavy thuds aroused Jailer Pettus yesterday morning, his suspicious were aroused. He tiptoed to the upstairs gallows room. in which Lemons was confined by himself, to find a hole in the wall. where the negro had beaten into the cement and brick with a heavy piece of iron piping loosening the barricade 50 that only a comparatively sIisht effort would have sufficed to widen the hole so that he could squeeze through.
 And MT. Pettus received the fright of his life.
 Lemons had been locked in the room, in which the steel gailows h placed. by himself. The solitary confinement is the third degree of the jail omcials. desire to gain information from a suspected criminal.
 The steps which lead up to the gal lows platform have a railing of iron pipe. made of sections acrewed to- gether. It was one of these sections which Lemons had loosencd, with which he had beaten into the cement and Brick of the tyo-foot wall.
 The taller declares that he has heard sounds of rapping and tapping more than once, and his suspicion had been aroused before. But though he has made his way quietly to the room and peered within. there was nothing out of the ordinary to. greet his vision merely negro. lying on his back on the gallows platform. The visilant jailer even acquired a severe cold as he waited outside the room in the cold corridor one night. .
 But the three-f final raps. more heavy and forcible than the others. winch Lemons made yesterday to put an end to his job, told on him. Mir. Pettus could not be deceived. and entering the room. made a search. which revealed the hole in the wall. and which drew a confession from the negro.
 Lemons will be securely locked In a steel cage hereafter. and not alto gether by himself.

ANOTHER SUSPECT
HILL ARRESTED IN CONNECTION
 WITH vENABLE MURDER,
Wife Let's Slip Some Informa ton Which May Lead to the Fastening of Guilt on Western
 HailxEnH EnanlnxN

oI UuFht on western
 Railway Empl0ye.
 Suspicion has fallen in another quar- ter relative to the murder of W. R, Venable. the North Court Street mer- chant. and Walter Hill, a negro em- ploye of the Western Railroad. was arrested Tuesday morning by Deputies Haynes and Clements. suspected of having been the murderer. Hill Is held at the county jail, making four in all, who are held as having criminal knowl- edge of the shooting. Bob Gallagher, Sam Lawrence, Turner Jordan and HiIl.
 That Hill Is suspected comes from in formatiAl let slip by his wife. who was fin conversation with the officers She told that he was away from his home at the time of te murder, and remained away during te night. Hill also fits the description of the murder CT, which Is furnished by many, who declared that they saw him.
 difference of opinions has grown among the officers. many of whom look upon Gallagher as the guilty negro. Evidence. as gathered by the officers, points strongly to Gallagher as guilty. and the theory upon which he is held Is regarded as the most plausible.
