CANN0N|SM|S
 ADOPTED AGAIN

Washington, April 3. = (Special.)- Learning nothing by their defeat of last November and still clinging to Cannon ism in its every form, the republicans of the house of representatives In eau GUS tonight named Representative Mann of Illinois, Cannon's main stay on the floor of the house, their minority lead CT; made Representative Dwight of New York, another Cannon man, their whip and against the protest of B republican insurgents, went on record in favor of the speakers appointing the committees by directing that the minority candidate for speaker, MT. Mann, be directed to name the minority members of the com mittees of the house.
 The caucus was a stormy one through out, characterized by much bitterness and acriminous debate. The insurgents insisted that for the party to go on rec ord against the election of committees was flying in the face of the public sen tinent of the country, but their pleas were unavailing and by a majority of 46 the caucus went on record for the policy of Cannonism repudiated by the people at the polls last year. The insurgents are frank to admit that the action of the caucus brings the democrats nearer than ever to the presidential goal and they sharply criticize the political stu pidity of the Cannon machine.

SMITH REGULATION BILL Seems To Be Feeling That Fbuster On Amendments Maybe Started Which Will Endanger Fate of aafA
 the Bill
BY BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery. April 3.-(Special.)- Coy. Emmet O'Neal tonight held a long conference with John ". Smith, author of the regulation bill. and other in terested local optionists, presumably on the fight which is expected to be made on that measure tomorrow when the bill is sent to the house of represen- tatiyes for concurrence in the senate amendments. Indications late tonight were that the measure would have con siderable opposition, especially on that provision which allows the cities of Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile to dispense liquors from the basement of buildings.
 Reports was going the rounds to the effect that a filibustering movement might be started in the house to de- feat the bill and credence was gener- ally given to the belief that passage of the Measure could be considerably delayed The situation is outlined as follows:
 The measure will go to the house tomorrow: that body will at once fail to agree to some of the senate amend ' ments, which will necessitate the ap- pointment of conference committee, which cannot make report before the forty-seventh day. It is known that Speaker Almon favors the dispensary plan and many entertain the belief that he might appoint on the house com mittee at least two republicans who might think as he does. Should he do so another conference committee might be necessary.

ADVERTISER CASE
 GIVEN REVERSAL

Montgomery, April Especially Ex-Gov. B. B. Conner was in part the
 winner of a suit against the Adver-
 tiser company. when the supreme court
 today handed down an opinion revers- ing and remanding case for damages which was some time ago decided in favor of the Advertiser company in the Birmingham city court. Suit was in- Stituted by the ex-chief executive, who was at the time governor of Alabama, to recover damages for the publica- = tion of certain articles to which he took exception.
 In the Birmingham city court dam ages in the sum of one cent were award ed to Governor Conner. from which de- cision he appealed to the states high est tribunal One ground of appeal was exception which his counsel took to ac- ton of the court in excluding certain testimony. It was held by the su- preme court that this testimony should have been allowed for which reason the case has been remanded. MT. Justices Simpson and Mayfeld dissented in part to the finding of the supreme court, while MT. Justice An derson dissented in toto, writing an opinion covering his objection. Monday mornings session of the su : preme court was the first of the spring term, two cases other than the one mentioned above having been handed down. In the case of Mary A. Turner vs. J. T.
