Berlin, Aug. 21.-The roller skating

The bridegroom was in evening dress

on their right and one on their left.

In the closing hours of the extra SEES
renee had their famous break" The
cause of that difference is the simplest
explanation OF why the extra session
Of the Alabama Legislature was ever
called. It Is proof that giant politics
inspired this heavy expense to the peo-
pie and that giant politics has used
the session as nothing more than q
fast flying vehicle TO rush prohibition
leaders into once.
It is uuwritten history that Conner
would not have called the session IL he
did not have assurance Of . victory for
biennial sessions. without biennial
sessions his last oppor tunfty to run for
United States Senator would have fed.
What was constitutional prohibition

enough for him to join hands with the
Reverend Superintendent OF the Anti

known.

prohibition leader. But he understood.
It Is now certain. that for Corners la

change his support OF biennial ses-
sions,
But alasi for the fate Of the coalition.
Swollen with the victories in the Leg
isiature, puffed with the triumph of
constitutional prohibition. the agitator
from Ohio assembled a step higher than
verbal agreement? Thirty days had
wrought wondrous changes in the sup
erintendsnt's mind and immediatel
astonishing events featured the close
Of the extra session. No sooner had
the rose petals Of the applauding gal
