FIGHT PETTUs BILL
OPPOSITION Is SHOWN BY THE
HOUSE MEMBERS.
The Recent Election In which New
County Amendment Bill Was
Lost Used BY Opponents
to Present Measure.

The battle is imminent between the
supporters and the opponents of pet

any minute that the House COMMITTEES

contiues ITO boost their claims while
the other fellows are just as loud In

to make a crazy-quilt Of their coun-
ties
Tuscaloosa, one Of the four counties
out of which 1t is proposed to Gull
"Pettus," conferred around Bessemer, is
most active of the group in opposition
to the scheme. They got particularly
busy yesterday In the Hobbies, losing
40 opportunity to put in their strong
est points. There was Judge Henry +.
Burks, one of the commissioners of
Tuscaloosa county, together with John
H. Nelson, who, lives in the nearest
beat to the part of the county which
would be affected by the "Pettus" bill.
w. E. Bonham of the Eoard of Public
Works is on hand to raise a protest.
and with him also come NJ. T. Ormond
and Mayor w. NJ Faulk, Of Tuscaloosa.
Much interested in the opposition OF
the House is Representative Rice. or
Tuscaloosa. Though there Is no solid
delegations from the counties - Bibb.
Shelby, and JenerSon, this territory Is
bringing large influences to bear
against the bill to make Bessemer q
county seat.
~ do not see how the dislnterested
legislators can fail to overlook the
happenings of the immediate past"
said Judge Burks last night Every
one of the affected counties returned
large majorities last year against the
new county amendment to the Consti-
tuition. That was understood to be the
issue in that section and 1t was turned
down signally by those counties that
are most directly interested in this at
tempted local legislation"
1t is understood that the Birming-
ham delegation. aside from Mr.. Rags
dale, the author of the bill to create
the new county. Is against the meas
ure. The opposition claims to have 1t
beaten but the supporters are working
might and main to put 1t through. The
delegation from Bessemer and vicinity
is composed of ]. A. Estis, T. 7. Huey,
DIR. e. W. Mcneil, J. T. Weller and
Capt w. f. Booker. They are relying
more on their local bill than on the
chances of passing the new county
amendment to the Constitution, or
rather of submitting 1t to the, vote of
the people of the State

county measure is Hon. w. w. Bran

GOVERNOR in
A CONFERENCE
The Prohibition Leaders
Meet.
BIG BILLS UP TODAY
Carmichael Bill Comes Up in the
House.
Activity OF the Prohibition Leaders L.
Due. 1t Ia said, to Doubt As
to Passage of the

Prohibition leaders were busy last
night at the Exchange Hotel when
Governor Conner, Rev. Brooks Law
renee, Judge Weakley. Speaker Car
michael and others met in conference
to go over the prohibition program.
Governor Conner reached the city
last night from his plantation in Bar
bour county and went directly to the
Exchange. The Exchange lobby was
thick with prohibitionists. including
half dozen or more ministers. In the
crowd, also. were Harry L. Martin,
Walter Sessions and several other who
are understood to be working for the
proposed constitutional amendment
Judge Weakley was In his room at
the Exchange, with the new prohibit
ton biils--drawn up-that is the bills
which have not yet been introduced.
Prominent among these bills is one
forbidding the printing of whiskey adj
vertisements or the circulation of a pa :
per or magazine. containing whisky ad-
vertisements. The activity Of the pro-
hibitlonists found expression in two
conferences. one of which attended by
Governor Conner, was In the room of
Judge Weakley. Here the new bills
were read and discussed.
In the room Of Speaker A. H. Car
michael the legislative program of the
principal item on this program Is the
sweeping Carmichael bill. which Is ex-
pected to come up today. The oppo-
sition to this measure will introduce a
number of amendments, but the prohi-
bition leaders say that the bill will be
passed as II came from the hands of
the Speaker. The first notable fight
of the session, is expected to come up
over this measure.
The activity of the prohibition lead
ers was attributed to the doubt which
clusters about the fate of the bill to
make prohibition constitutional, by an
amendment. As an old member Of the
Legislature said last nigth: AT this
stage II is any mans fight" The
prohibitionists claim to be confident
that the bill will easily pass the House
But their activity lends strength to
the report, that 1t may possibly be de-
feated even in the House, where II
was expected to have easy sailing. The
opponents also appear to be confident.
The fate of that bill can not be safe
ly predicted Until the final vote is
taken. 1t is by far the most interest
ing fight of the session.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
IN MIDDLE WEST
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
Kentucky Affected.

st. Louis, Sept 28.-A slight earth
quake was felt through Southeastern
Missouri, Southern and Central ILL.
nois and Indiana and Western Ken
lucky. So far as has been learned
little or no damage resulted.
The general direction of the shock
was west to east and it was felt more
clearly in thinly settled districts. VII
lagos west of st. Louis reported the
destruction of a few chimneys. In
the west end of this city, the resi-
dence district, many sleepers were
awakened. The quake was scarcely
in evidence in the down town dis
tricts, only a few of the many guests
in the larger hotels being disturbed.
Reports of the phenomenon we're
received from all stations on the Mo-
bile and Ohio railway as far as Cairo,
III. In Decatur, Mattoon and other
towns in Central Illinois there were
shocks at practically the same time.
A settling of the earth's crust, with
the seat of the disturbance many
miles distant, is the general opinion
of the cause of the quake. Probable
1ty of renewal of the shock is mega
tived by local scientists.
