SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
By HERvEY W. LAIRD.

Montgomery, April 2.-(Special.) )-The ing sensational Investigation and prob . ably more sensational developments as a result of the troubles that are found to exist in the records of the senate in the last legislative sessions. It is antici- pated that the first work of the extra session to be held this summer will be the appointment of committee on inves- tigation, with full power to go to the bottom of every failure that has been turned up.
 Already it is found that many import ant bills are so out of line with the con- stitution that they are worthless. Just how many more are in the same class time will be left to tell, save that full check is to be made by state officers to find If any of the measures now in liti- gation are susceptible to attack. Some body is responsible and there is a feel ing that the ones to blame ought to be made to shoulder the responsibility of the many errors that have come to pass.
 Costly Proposition.
 Bad bills are to be the sole cause of an extra session of the legislature, which will cost lot of money. It may also pro- duce unrest, such as some fear, in busi- ness life and add in this way to the tangible expense accuring. And all svs cause the work of the secretary of the body was not well done. Also, it is d result of the foolishness of the laws about closing up the books of the law-making bodies Forty days are given the clerks to complete the records after the close of the session. The books they make up and turn over are the official records and nobody can help 1t.
 I. do mand at any session, regular or extra, for new regulations in the making of the records Former Senator Lusk believes that the legislature should not adjourn until 1t is certain that the books are cor rectly put out and that the records that are to be official and left in the office of the secretary of state, ought to be signed by the officers of the two houses in the presence of the members after it Is known that they are correct The trouble does not arise as a rule, in the regular min utes of the session, but in the copying that is done after the houses adjourn. Greater Birmingham.
 Jere King, member of the legislature from Jefferson county, and the father of the Greater Birmingham bill. is not san gune over the outcome of an extra ses- sion so far as his Greater Birmingham bills go.
 q believe that Senator Miller will re- new his fight in an extra session against Greater Birmingham he said.
 MT. King had a talk with Governor Conner and came away with the impress sion that session of the legislature to be held in the summer will provide for any movement that may be made in tie interest of Greater Birmingham.
 It is also well known that the governor will make 1t possible to correct any of the other errors that have been made in laws, so that after the soons go home they will know that they have not worked in vain. It is also a fact that they will strengthen the prohibition laws so that they may be made to cover such deficiencies as exist,

In a recent interview MT. Davis said:
 For years I have used Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as a tonic and stimulant. It has helped me wonderfully and has kept me in condition to do my work. We always keep it in our house as medicine, and I recommend it to both old and young as tonic-stimulant of quality"
 MT. Davis experience is similar to that of thousands of other men and women who have been kept strong and vigorous in their old age by the use of Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey.
 What wonder is it that doctors of all schools prescribe and use Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as the great tonic-stimu- lant, blood purifier and body builder?

SIX PERSONS KILLED.
Two Passengers and Four Sailors
PeriShed in the Collision.

New York. Jan. 24-It was not until to-
day that the officials OF the White Star
Line knew that two Of the passengers Of
the Republic and four sailors Of the Flor
ida had been killed. and two Of the Re
pUblic's passengers injured in the collision
Of the two steamships.
The dispatch telling Of the casualties on
the Republic was from Capt. Ransom. Of
the Baltic It was dated 1.3o. and read as
follows:
Regret frst-class passengers OF the
Republic. Mrs z. Lynch and W J
Mooney, killed in collision. also NJ
Lynch and Mrs. Murphy badly hurt" "
Eugene Lynch and Mrs Lynch are
booked from Boston; NJ J. Mooney from
Langdon. N Oak. and Mrs. NJ J. Muir
ply from Grand Falls. s Oak.
The Westerners mentioned in the dis
patch were members Of a party Of twelve
booked by George II. Bendeke. White star
agent at Grand Forks Mr.. Bendeke is
stopping at the Hotel KnickerbOcker
The casualties reported on the Repub-
lie occurred in two stateroOms almost ex-
actIy amidships. on the port side. and in
dicate the location Of the blow struck by
the Florida's steel nose.
". J. Mooney. who was killed, was
president Of the Mooney State Bank. of
Langdon- N Oak There was nothing 20
tell definitely how Mr.. Mooney and Mrs.
Lynch were killed, or how Mr.. Lynch
and Mrs. Murphy were hurt The wire
less gave the bare news in the most
laconic form possible.
It was not difficult for the White Star
people to infer something concerning the
circumstances. even in the absence Of
authentic details The Dakota banker
occupied a stateroom almost exactly
amidships on the port side Mr. and
Mrs. Lynch had a stateroom adjoining.
Mrs Mooney. very probably. was situated
not far from these Il is practically Ger
tain that the four were in the staterooms
which caught the worst OF the blow dealt
by the Florida's steel prov. and that
they were asleep. as were all the rest
of the passengers at that hour Of the
morning
In the confusion which certainly re-
suited after the collision, and before the
officers Of the Republic succeeded in
transferring their passengers TO the Flor
ida. the dead might have been over
looked. and afterward. when Binus. the
operator, was sending out calls for help
over the sea, there was no time to waste
IN recording casualties.
Il was inferred. also, that the killed
on the Florida were on duty forward
and were caught and crushed in the
wreckage when the ships struck.
