SOMEBODY PLAYS CRUEL
 JOKE ON MIR. HOFFMAN

Representative F. O. Hoffman, of Mobile, is the victim of a cruel plot. Somebody has stolen his copy of Cush. ing's Manual. The perpetrator of the dastardly deed Is supposed 10 be some member of the House who Is anxious for the Legislature to get through its work quickly and go home.
 Only a member of the House or a newspaper reporter, who has been at the press table Throughout the session can appreciate what MT. Hoffman's Manual means to him. To be ruthless ly separated from 1t. not only causes him pain, but it handicaps his Legis- lative endeavors. Tn fact some of the Mobile mans friends are seriously concerned as to what he is going to do, during the balance of the session. l For the present at least he Is as Sam son. when he had been shorn of his | locks. es q, A7+4
 No more win a clarion voice ring 1 out over the House: Hi's-Stl 1 "Mr. Spik-ker-Mr Spik-ker."
 For what purpose does the gentle man from Mobile riser"
 "A point of order, sir--the gentle man from so and so." and then the Mobile man would show that the oth- CT gentleman had been caught a mile of the base and had .been clearly touched out. As a matter of fact the MODlle man, Wltn MT. 1unstdn OL k1aie and one or two others, is recognized as a parliamentary shark--a man who has a clear and definite idea of the intricacies of parliamentary procei- ure. And more than once he has SCOT ed heavily. though his valuable know ledge of what Is right in legislat- i've and deliberate body. It Is believ- ed that one of his victims, eloped with his Cushing's Manual. Mir. Hoffman has his suspicious, but he refuses to express them. He denies. however, that his resolution to adjourn, which he introduced yesterday had anything to do with the disappearance of his petted Cushing's Manual. He would have introduced that resolution. even though his Manual had been reposing in its accustomed place. It was re- ported last night that a plot was be- ing matched to steal the copy of@tA2A State Constitution, from the desk of another distinguished member and thus shorten the session, by two or three days.

COMER'S STATEMENT
GIVES SECOND ACCOUNTING OF
 THE STATE FUNDS.
Details the Returns from the Old Soldiers One Mill Tax and
 Three Mill School

The second resolution of Senator Sparagins asking for an accounting Of the State funds by the Governor was answered yesterday. when Gover- nor Conner detailed the returns from the old soldiers one mill tax, and from the three mill school tax.
 One part of Senator Spragins' re- quest was unanswered by yesterdays statement. because. as the Governor swered it. It had reference to the cash balance in the State treasury. The cash balance was asked in the original resolution, and. In the state- ment rendered answering 1t, 1t was held that no general cash balance was given. The second resolution asked for the cash balance. again. but Gov ernor Corners statement of yesterday declared the cash balance to have heen embodied in the first statement, and referred the Senate to the first accounting.
 The answer of Governor Conner. rem dered yesterday, was:
 ITO the Senate:
 sIn response to your resolution of August 9, 1909 am returning here with Auditors statement as request ed showing result of the one mill ad- voiorem tax to the old soldiers and also the three mill advalorem tax to the common schools.
 ''In response to your request at the same time for statement of balance in the treasury I attach hereto copy of your private journal of August 11th, showing this information which was given you on August II, 1909. In re- sponse to previous request.

CITIZENS co.
 LOSES SUIT Judge Pearson 0verrules
 Demurrer. WOULD MAKE CHARTER VOID C E. White Wins One Portion of
 Fight for Stock. Amended Petition of Mir. waite Averrea That the Company Made Fic- titious Increase of Csp-
 ital stock.

The demurrer of the Citizens Light and Power Company to the amended petition of c. E.. White, which seek s to have declared void the charter of the company, was overruled yesterday by Judge w. W. Peason.
 The case is one of several In which the local light companies have been involved. In this case c. E. White, is seeking to have the Citizens Light and Power Company dissolved, in order that he may have delivered to him a block of S7,500 worth of stock which he had purchased, but which has not been de- livered because it was pooled with oth- CT stock when the Citizens Light and Power Company was capitalized.
 The opinion of Judge Pearson is as follows:
 state of Alabama ex rel White ct al Citizens Light and Power Com pany ct al In Circuit Court of Mont gomery County.
 At former hearing of this cause on demurrer to the petition, the de- murrer was sustained upon the ground that the petition did not clearly set forth facts, showing had faith on the part of respondents in the organize ton of the respondent company.
 Since that Judgment. the petition has been amended and respondents de- mur to the amended petition. assigning several grounds of demurrer.
 "rhe amended petition ayers in sub stance that the stockholders of the old company. l. e., the Citizens Eight Heat and Power Company, conceived a scheme to effect fictitious increase of the capital stock of that company from s5000O to s1O0000. That 1t had been in the business of manufacturing and selling electricity. for which 1t was or ganized only about two years, had &C., cumulated no surplus. had paid no div idends, was largely indebted for mate rial, apparatus and money borrowed for the construction of its plant and that it's capital stock was not worth more than par. That in consummation of said scheme they filed a declaration of incorporation of the respondent com pany. 1. e., The Citizebs' Light and Power Company. bearing a name so similar to that of the old company as to lead to confusion and uncertainty.
 "That they stated In said declara- tion that the purpose of the new com pany was to engage in actual business and that it had authority to operate upon all the streets of the city of Mont gomery within her police Jurisdiction. That the subscribers to the stock of the new company were constituted en- tireiy of stockholders of the old coni- pany and their subscriptions to said etoch WeIe paul, IT a. aAa' " eAo uons fer of stock in the old company to the new at twice It's par value and certifi- cates of stock. were issued to the in- corporators of the new company in double the amount of their holdings in the old company That there was new CT any intention on the part of said i'm corporators to actually operate the new company in any industrial pursuit. and that 1t has not beeo so operated.
