Declaring 1t beyond the province of circuit or county solicitors, or any of- ficer except the Attorney General of the State to demand that judge re- docket mol pressed cases. the Supreme Court yesterday refused the application for mandamus of D. c. Almon, Circuit Solicitor, against Robert |. Burke. Judge of the Culman County CourA
 Almon alleged that the 100 or rAore cases of prohibition violations in Gull man County had been uniawfullv mol pressed. without his authority as so- iicitor, and over the protests of him. self and the County Solicitor He asked that they be replaced on the docket of the County Court.
 Judge Burke refused. and thereupon Almon applied to Judge Speake of the Circuit Court for a mandamus. com polling the replacing of the cases on the docket.
 The mandamus refused. Solicitor AL mon appealed from the decision of Judge Speake to the Supreme Court. Tn a previous case. the court ruled that the solicitor was without authority in instituting such proceedings, the Att torney General holding the only right in that line.
 Joining forces with the Attorney Gen erai, Almon applied for a>re-hearing, to contest for the right of the solicitor, to ask for mandamus in such instances. The application for the re-hearing was denied, however, and the cases will stand as mol pressed, unless, as the court admits, Attorney-General Garber undertakes to re-institute the charges.

Twenty-Five United With The Republi- eans--They Opposed Putting It On The Free List.

Tyyenfy-flVe United With The HepuDii- eans--They Opposed Putting It On The Free List. Washington, April 6-tSpeciaD- stirred up a fiery discussion in the House today by offering an amendment to the tariff bill placing rough lumber lon the free list. Both Democrats and Republicans tried to read each other ou tof their respective parties on ac- count of the stand they took on the question. Three of the Alabama dele- gation voted against the Tawney amendment anu the others supported It.
 Those who opposed the proposition to place rough lumber on the free list were Messrs. Clayton, Taylor and Burnett There was no roll call. The representatives passed between tellers and in that way 1t was noted how they felt on this question that has pro- yoked such a lively contention on both sides of the hall.
 About twenty-five Democrats in all lined up for the lumber provision as 1t was reported In the Payne bill. Their help enabled the regular Repub- lican organization to carry the day. for they would have been defeated had not a division also occurred among the Democrats. The Democratic votes for

DENY REHEARINGS
FINLEY TOWARDS CASE NOT TO BE
 HEARD AGAIN.
The state Ia Also Denied . RehearinE 1n the Franchise Tax Provision of the state

When the Supreme Court granted Finley Howard new triaA after he had been sentenced to nifty years in- prtsonment by the CovinEton County Court. and when the franchise tax pro- vision of the State statutes had been upheld. the body was evidently through, for good and all. with the two cases.
 For though both of the victors in the cases. Howard in one. and the State in the other. not satisfied with the con- sessions. asked for a new hearing. 1t was denied. Howard, besides his new trial. wanted change in venue. and the State wanted a unanimous opinion of the justices in the rate cases.
 But both applications were denied. Howard will undergo his new trial, but in the same old court In Covington County. where. he alleges. prejudice ex- tsts against him because he shot and killed George Bagley, a prominent and wealthy resident. declaring that he acted in defense of his sisters name.
 And the State will perforce be satis- fled with the former opinion of the court in regard to the rate cases
 Howard will be remembered as the young man who was held in the jail at Montgomery for more than six months, pending the Supreme Court de- eisfon. He was released on bail, when the new trial was granted
 The franchise tax of the State was attacked by several railroads and big corporations of Alabama. Over s1o0.- 900 was involved. but the Supreme Court declared for the State. with but one dissenting voice. The dissenting voice paves the way for continuance of the matter in the United States Su- preme Court, and it was to eliminate the necessity of further litigation by winning the dissenting justice to the States side, that the State, though nom- inaily he winner of the litigation, ask ed for new trial.
 The former opinion in both the How ard and the franchise cases were mod filed, in non-essential points.
