 In Examiner's Report.

The Military Court of Inquiry re- ouested of Governor Conner by Colonel c. R. Bricksn, of the End Regiment Alabama National Guard. to investigate and report upon certain statements made in the report of Assistant State Examiner of Public Accounts, H. T.. Brooke. convened in the State Senate chamber Saturday afternoon at o'clock to formulate their report upon the Bricken matter and to investigate the statements made by Major B. F.. Noble. of the Cavalry squadron. Gov ernor Conner not being in the city. the report upon the investigation of the ac- counts of Colonel Bricken was not made public.
 Major Noble was placed upon the stand to testify as to the rejected vouchers of his accounts by the assist ant examiner. Before Major Noble was questioned. however. Examiner Brooke stated to the court that the accounts of Major Noble showed that every cent of the StateAappropriaion had been ac- counted for by vouchers in proper form.
 'I feel that the State of Alabama has no claim upon Major Noble whatever" concluded Examiner Brooke in leaving the stand
 Major Noble was placed upon the stand ana Te8btuoQ gnaL tne VOuCueTs for decorating the pavilion. for dance programs and for whiskey and beer were paid out of private purse and were not legitimate charges against the State military appropriation.
 Major Noble called attention to an item in his accounts where the cost of pitching camp was given at aS. Atten- tion was called to the fact that the act ual cost of pitching the camp ranged somewhere between s2o0 and $500. and that because negroes could not he made to accept a check. the money was paid out to them in cash. from private purse, the charge being later Jumped in a large voucher, from other expend- itures which should come from private purse.

COMER IS PRESSED
BIRMINGHAM PEOPLE WANT SPE-
 CIAL LEGISLATURE.
PrOhiblitOnists and AntIs Favor the Call and Governor is Urged to Take Some Prompt
 Action.

Birmingham. Feb. 20.-6Special )- Governor Conner will be urged stren- uously to call an extra session of the Legislature and call it at the earliest possible moment.
 The people who favor prohibition and indications they are still in the majority, in Jefferson County and in the northern paFt of the State in par icular. are heartily in favor of the extra session of the lawmakers. so that a new law entirely can be formu- lated, properly recorded and passed so that it will be so effective as to make enforcement just as easy, as 1t is for those who desire to violate the present law.
 The recent decision of the Supreme Court in reference to mead" or near beer will probably bring about some licenses for the near" product and will add to the enthusiasm of the anti prohibitionists For that reason the prohibitionists are more than anxious to see an extra session of the Legis- lature to correct whatever Is missing to bring about a condition that was intended by the regular session.
 It Is being talked here that the Gov ernor will receive a strong committee from this section of the State as well as from other parts of Alabama urging that the extra session of the Legisla- ture be held just as soon as. possible.
 With prohth khe cause for the extra session of the Legislature effort will be made to have Greater Bir- mingham bill enacted that cannot be attacked, and enc that VIII permit of the commission form of government for Birmingham, and such other cities in Alabama as desire it. There appears to be a desire In the big industral city for the commission plan of government and if the Governor does call the Leg islature together there will be a re- quest for such a law.
 The tl-prohihttionists are said to be anxious for special session of the Legislature also, believing that there is a possibility of the prohibition law being repealed. The prohibitionists l have no fears whatever that if the Legislature does get together again that there will be no trouble in having A bill put through all right.

REPORT ON
 INSURANCE Cincinnati Company Had No Profit. TO RETURN CERTIFICATES Dividend on $lOO,Ooo Is Also Order cd Returned and Cancelled. Insurasce cemmissioaer Frask N. Ju- lian Receives Report from the supervfsins omcer. of Diff
 ferent state De-
 partments.
 

Insurance Commissioner Frank N. Julian yesterday received the report of the supervising officers of the Iusur- ance Departments of the various States on the examination of the affairs of the Union Central Life Insurance Com pany of Cincinnati. Commissioner Ju- Han states that Alabama will go in with West Virginia In making thor ough examination of the affairs of the company, and will accept at present the report of the supervising officers.
 This report shows that in 1908 the Union Central Life Insurance Company declared dividend to its stockholders of $400, ,000 payable in stock on Septem- Der 2S, 1908, and a cash dividend of per cent. on stock outstanding $500,- 900.
 That on inquiry information was ob- taifed that the. action tncreas- taken upon the strength of report submitted March 23. 1908, by an factu- ary of the company. An examination of this aetuary's report showed that the calculation of the profits which had been earned by stock Issues amounted to s77s.7ss on December 3l. 1907, was based upon assumptions, slight differ ence in which would make considers ble difference in the final figures.
 That the stock Issues of 1900 were then carefully examined and tabulated, resulting in the finding that the com pany had sustained loss of S15,35T Instead of e profit of s73,753, further that a loss of SI73, ,669 instead of profit Of S1t3,00O as indicated.
 The supervising officers therefore dee mand that the stockholders of the com- pany return to the treasury certifi. cates amounting to S400,000 and that the dividend of per cent. on the S4oo.- 900 also be returned and cancelled.
 Alabama will follow the report of the supervising officers and demand that all Alabama stockholders in the company make the proper returns.

Neu I.iahtinn scheduIe.

During the past few days there has been considerable discuss ? on the streets in regards for the new lighting schedule for the city which was sub mitted to the City Council several months ago by the Selma Lighting Company. This schedule was submit ted to a committee of the Council which at the last meeting of that body was ready to report but the report was laid over until a subsequent meeting and will probably be made at the meet ing of the Council which will be held Monday night.
 The new schedule makes a material reduction in the price of lights both to the city and to the consumers, but attached to it there are several features which appear to be objectionable to a a large number of citizens.
 To enjoy the new rates proposed by the lighting company for the city and the consumers the Selma Lighting Com pany wants Selma to give them con tract for ten years. On the old con- tract with this company Selma has still three years of the contract to live out. The people do not seem to want the new contract signed until the old one has expired
