IA BILL FOR | PROTECTION Legislators Object to
 Arrest. THEIR DIGNITY VIOLATED Bill Would Punish the Police
 Officials. Lawmakers Who Were Arrested in Sensational Manner on Friday Night Find Relief in Pro-
 posed Laws.

Some legislators hold the idea that the dignity of the law-making body
 has been violated by the sensational
 charges made against two of its mem-
 bers by the local police since adjourn
 ment Saturday night. They protested yesterday. members of both House and
 Senate. the former through bill in-
 troduced by Colonel John, of Birming-
 ham. to protect legislators against H. legal arrests, and the Senate through
 resolution of Senator Reese. to the
 effect that the Senate Judtcary Com
 mittee take such action as 1t sees fit toward the reparation of the violated
 dignity as embodied in the arrest of Senator Leith.
 The bill of Colonel John. introduced
 referred to the House Judiciary Com
 mittee, Is: "An Act to protect members of the Legislature from illegal arrests. and prescribe adequate punishment for violations of the rights secured in Section 5s of the Constitution. Be it enacted by the Legislature of | Alabama:
 "1. Any person who arrests, or who
 advises or procures the arrest of any
 member of the Legislature of Alabama.
 during his attendance at the session of the Legislature; or while he Is go- | ing to and returning from the same. except in, cases of treason, felony.
 violation of his oath of office and | breach of peace. must on conviction
 be sentenced to hard labor for not
 less than three nor more than twelve
 months"
 The resolution of Senator Reese.
 adopted without dissent. declared that the arrest of Senator Leith was in open violation of the Constitution. the matter should be taken by the lawmakers. The resolution was: Whereas 1t is alleged that, in open defiance and direct violation of the express provisions of Article 56 of the | Constitution of this state the privi- | leges of the Senate has been violated | and abused in that one of It's members was arrested or deprived of his liberty | by a police officer of the city of Mont | gomery:
 Now therefore. 1t is resolved by the
 Senate of Alabama that its Judiciary Committee be and is hereby directed
 to consider said matter. and report I what action, if any, should be taken by the Senate or Legislature in the I premises"
 And wrath thus prevails in some quarters of the Legislature at the action of the police of Montgomery in iarresting its members.
 f The case of Senator Leith was set I tied by his payment of the fine of SIS.
 while that of Representative Long will be called in the Police Court this
 afternoon.

UNION DEPOT OFFICIALS
ARE ALWAYS COURTEOUS

Railroad officials at the Union de
pot are just tUi1le annoyed at what
they term an unjust criticism OF en-
ployes in the night service by a morn
ing paper The train service is not
in the hands of depot employees, and
they are required TO make up" trains
on the bulletin board as they receive
reports from time TO time from the
train dispatchers This is done prompt
ly as the later reports are received.
The night force consists Of Depot
Master Sam Fowler, who has occupied
his position for more than a quarter
century. and who is wen and favor
ably known TO cveryiman. woman and
child within radius of several blocks
of the passenger depot. Sam couldn't
he cranky or surly If he wanted to.
He isn't built along those lines and his
great, good natured voice penetTates
every room and corner OF the waiting
rooms half dozen times during the
night Associated with him in the
long vigil are Arthur Matthews and
A. Flinders and both of these young
men enjoy regulations for urbanity
and politeness i'll their respective po-
sitions.
II is thought the Examiners infor-
nation was derived from tired and
worn-out passengers who were sore
and angry at being delayed on the
road
The depot force at Ogden. both day
and night. will compare favorably with
any point ON the line between Omaha
and San Francisco.
