Special to the Eagle.
Montgomery. Ala. July 27.-Pursu-
an: to the call of Governor Conner the
Alabama legislature met In extra ses

court held that members Of bona fide
social clubs might keep liquor In lock

legislate against this right. Governor
Conner believes that state laws car
b. enacted that will make even the
