NO SPECIAL SESSION
OF STATE LEGISLATURE
Time Too Short Is Stated BY Governor
Both Amendments Lost at
Recent Election.

Unless something occurs within a
few days to change conditions there
wfl be no extraordinary session Of
the legislature between now and che
time Of the regular session which con
ON the 18th of January next. The
time is too short and no such call Is
expected 70 be issued by Governor
Glasscock.
When he returns frcm the recent
election gave assurance that the next
Legislature would be ~hopelessly Demo
cratic there We're many leading men
over Fhe state who advised that a spe-
cial session be called while the old leg
is ators are still in office to carry out
the governors legislative program, in
Guiding the measure for a public serv-
ice commission, a tax on gas. a pri-
mary election law, a local option law
and other measures which the COVER
nor wants. But TWO things operated
against any such session. The COVER
nor had no assurance that the cd
legislature would adOp such laws i'm
case il was called together, and the
terms Of the members of the house
and of half Of the members of the
senate expire December /. That would
give litre time for the proclamation
to be issued, the lawmakers to gather
and get down 10 work.
While Governor Glasscock has given
no atement concerning the matter
it is known he talked yer the matter
of an extra session with oher state
officials and it is believed that a ses-
sion would have been called had there
been more time.
If early figures are to be taken as
an indication both the Supreme Court
and the qualification amendments to
the constitution We're rejected in the
resent election. Reports have been
received at The governors office from
seven counties principally in the agrl-
cultural be rs. these figures show in
favor Of the court amendment S,192
and against. $3.50; majority against
2.45S.
Fer tn qualification amendment,
1915; against. 5,077; majority against,
i 1862.

HOCKTIDE COURT STILL
HELD IN HUNGERFORD
Ancient Ceremony Observed by
Berkshire Residents

LONDON, April 30.-At Hungerford
in Berkshire, the gold faced town crier
sounded repeated blasts upon John
O'Gaunt's carved brass horn to summon
the commoners to the annual hocktide
court and to its accustomed ceremonies
and festivities.
The head of the town under its an
cient charter is the constable, who by
virtue of his Office is also coroner and
master of the market. To this office
the retiring constable, A. E. alright,
was reelected. There were also ap-
pointed worthy gentlemen to serve as
keepers of the keys of the common cof-
fer. Behind the constable's chair stood
two officers whose important functions
are still exercised. These We're called
the 'tuttimen.''
When the business of the court had
been concluded the John O'Gaunt horn
was once more sounded, and the two
tuttimen, looking very serious and de-
termined in spite of the long slaves
they carried adorned with large posies
of early spring flowers, proceeded upon
round of house to house visits to eX-
act from the inhabitants the duties to
which the court is entitled
From each householder they were en-
titled to demand the sum of one penny
in respect of each dweller under his
roof. From each woman householder
in default of this payment, they were
entitled to exact the forfeit of a decor

held a chloroformed handkerchief to
the womans face. She fell into
profound sleep which lasted five hours
On awakening she found that the
car had stopped at an inn. With
great self-possession she pretended to
be still unconscious. and when her COM
panions left the car and entered the
inn she slipped out by the door on the
opposite side of tlfe car and succeeded
in making good her escape, finally
finding her way to a town where she

newspaper dramatic critic named in
his suit by Barrie. The couple are
now living in Barrie's town house,

vanished has never healed. He has
been generosity. itself in, his dealings
with her and made a handsome settle

want besides allowing her the use of
his home.
1t was while Cannan was a guest of
the author of Peter Pan" that he won
