REAL MUDDLE IN SHEFFIELD SCHOOL Dismissal of Superintendent Puckett Reveals Quite
 a Sensation

Sheffield. March 1.-The crisis in the Sheffield city school muddle has ap- parently passed and the classes are running as usual today with four teachers supplying the place of the late acting principal, Mrs. ". F. Puckett and the three teachers who walked out in sympathy with her, Miss Cora Fer rell, Miss Mattie Simpson and Miss Della Stewart.
 The affair has created a tremendous sensation, revealing what the board had tried to conceal, namely, that Professor Puckett was dismissed as city super Iintendent after refusing to resign. pr. c. B. Ashe, Judge J. II. Nathan and Will liam Shook, who compose the school board, explain their dismissal of Pro- lessor Puckett by saying they have facts seriously reflecting upon the moral character of Professor Puckett, the nature of which they refuse to i divulge. while Professor Puckett denies that he has been guilty of any conduct unbecoming a Christian gentleman. i A petition has been freely signed ask ling the school board to give froIessof Puckett a hearing and reinstate him if the charges are not proven, but the petition has not been presented. The matter was discussed at the last meet ing of the city council of having the council investigate the charges, but City Attorney Peach gave it as his opin- ion that the council had no power to override the action of the school board
 Mrs. Puckett, who has been acting nrinclpal since the dismissal of Pro lessor Puckett, gave up the Keys un der protest and there are intimations that she will appeal to the courts 10 force the board to pay her the salary of principal to the end of tnfs scnooi wear. In addition to the four teachers a nu,nber of pupils have pledged their support to the Pucketts and remained out of school

DEBATE FURIOUS fa AMONG SENATOR'S Screws Liquor Bill Is Cause
 of Trouble TRY TO RECONSIDER Senator Brown of Jackson Is the Man Who Started Things By His
 Motion to Reconsider
 Last Weeks Vote
TRY TO RECONSIDER
By BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, March 14.-tSpeciaL)- )- Fast, bitter and furious debate that has scarcely been paralleled in the his it's upper house today when motion to reconsider the vote whereby the Montgomery liquor bill was passed on Friday of last week allegedly broke a quorum in that body, and necessitated adjournment for the day without dis posing of the question. Words unut. tered were never so eloquent as when the failure of half-dozen senators to respond to their names upon roll call on the motion left the motion statu. quo and necessiated a recess for the day
 Before this adjournment came, how ever, the gallery of the senate was treated to the most acrimonious and caustic bedate of the session, broughi about by opposition on the part of Sem ator M. H. Screws. author of the bill rules but unprecedented in the history of any law making body.
 He bitterly arraigned the president to action which he declared not only of the upper house for his rulings on the issue. and time and time again ap- pealed from such decisions as he pro nounced not only undemocratic, but au- tocratic as well. His success in his effort is shown by the result of the de- bate in that he and his friends, despite their minority, completely "stymied" the proceedings, and made the motion come to naught.

Early Start

Debate on the question was started out when Senator c. W. Brown of Jackson county proposed a motion that the vote be reconsidered. From that time on the senate was kept in an up roar of excitement that did not sub side with adjournment. but which kept on without interruption even after the gavel had rapped recess for the day.
 During the progress of the debatt Senator Screws time and time again interposed points of order" to the proceedings, each of which was mel with counter points" from friends O the motion. Rulings of the president were constantly demanded at every step, and as often as given were ap pealed.
 The day, however, was against Senator Screws in so far as numbers were con- cerned, though with him in final sue cess. The presidents ruling at every point was sustained

Tense Situation


 Throughout the discussion the senators were tense with the excitement of the occasion, rumbling of the coming fray having preceded the convention of the upper house. The condition was kept eve more pronounced, however, by the novel steps which were taken to place mo- ton, and the counter steps to defeat it.
 Almost one hour after converting vote on the motion was called for and taken. Not before the end was reached, how ever did the friends of the motion realize that they were outstripped in the race, the realization coming to them when upon count of the vote it was founo that there were 13 ayes in favor of recall of the bill and zero noes.
 During progress of the roll call the op- ponents to the measure had silently filed out of the hall leaving sufficient empty desks to break the quorum of the day.
 Twenty-two senators were present when the session was called to order. but of this number less than IS were visible when the vote was taken.

Proceedings in Detail


 Senator c. W. Brown, immediately upon opening of the assembly, exploded his bomb on the Screws local liquor bill. In speech of more than five minutes he moved that the bill be re-considered on the ground of propriety, as lie termed it. Senator M. H. Screws promptly offered the point of order that the motion car ried too late. He called attention to rule 19 of the senate, which forbids such motion after the hour of noon. Senator s. Fl. Sprott spoke to the motion declar- ing that all rules should be interpreted along the lines of common sense.
 Senator Screws insisted that the rule should be held inviolate, but President Walter D. Seed held that a motion al this time was in order owing to the fact that the senate could not possibly move to such an effect at an earlier moment Senator Screws objected to the ruling but the president was sustained by a vote of IA to 6.
 Senator Screws then made the point of order that the bill was out of the hands Of the senate. To offset this. resolution was offered to recall the bill. but before 1t was reached the call of districts was entered upon. Introduction of the resolu- ton was temporarily postponed, owing to objections by Senator Screws to the in terruption of the proceedings.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-15
Renewed Opposition

After call of districts Senator w. c. Crumpton moved reconsideration of Sen ator Browns motion. Senator Screws again insisted that the bill was In active possession of the house.
 Senator Crumpton raised the point that the bill had not been oroered to the house. President Seed ruled with Sena- tor Crumpton, whereupon Senator Screws again appealed from the decision of the chair. Count was taken, and the presi- dent was again sustained by a vote of 13 to To-
 Senator Crumpton then moved that the bill be reconsidered. Roll was called, only 13 senators voting. Senator Screws then called for announcement of the vote, whereupon the president announced that the vote resulted in loss of the motion ow- ing to lack of a quorum
 Several attempts were thereupon made 10 compel the senators to vote, but every time the endeavor was foiled by Senator Screws. Finally, upon motion, the sen ate recessed for five minutes in order 10 have a quorum of voters assembled.
 Immediately after recess President Seed upheld the point of order raised by Sen ator Tunstall that there could be no an nouncement in the lack of quorum Senator Crumpton then moved adjourn ment until Il o'clock on Wednesday, the motion carrying, II to A. -.
 Bills were introduced in the senate to- day as follows. .s
