JUDGES ACTION
 CAUSES PROTEST O'Neal Talks With Lauder dale Petitioners and
 Hears RumOrs

Montgomery, May 15.-(Special.) )-Re- fusal of Judge James F. Koonce, judge of probate of Lauderdale county, to ac- cept the petition presented to him by citizens of that county calling for an election to decide whether or not liquor shall be sold in Lauderdale. has been brought to the attention of Gov. Emmet O'Neal. The chief executive had a talk over the long distance telephone with J. H. Nathan of Sheffield, who is one of the legal advisors of the petitioners.
 According to the information which Governor O'Neal has received Judge Koonce rejected the names of large number of Lauderdale citizens that were attached to the petition. It Is said that the petition contained about 24O names in excess of the required number, but that Judge Koonee rejected more than this number on the grounds that they were not qualified voters.
 From information received at the gov ernor's office. there has been some 1n- timation to the effect that many of the names were rejected on the petition With out good cause, as it is said that some of these voted in the last general cleo ton.
 It Is not known what Lauderdale cit izens will do in reference to putting ou another petition, but it is believed Una this will(be done by them within th near fixture. From all that can be learn ed, ib is declared that considerable i'll wilLf prevails among local optionists 1T Lauderdale county. many of them, 1t is said, believing that names were rejected by Judge Koonee that were qualified voters.
 Attorney General Brickell on last Sat rrday submitted an opinion bearing on the matter of a second petition, which was rendered at the instigation of Judge Koonce. The probate judge wanted to know what steps would have to be taken fin regard to another petition, whether if a new petition were presented an en- tirely new list of names would not have 10 be attached to the paper.
 The attorney general held that this would not be at all necessary; that all that was required was that petition should be presented that bore 45 per cent of tho names of the qualified voters Of the county. It is presumed that Judge Koonce wanted this information in the event a second petition should be pre- scented to him.

 Justice Lamar devoted considerable space to technical discussion of civil, as differentiated from criminal, con- tempt In the former only a fine was permissible, he pointed out, while In criminal contempt 1sii sentences could be imposed. The case under consider ation, he said, had been brought by a corporation in conjunction with suit in equity and a fine, to be paid to the corporation alone could be imposed. Had the court, whose Injunction had been disobeyed, felt aggrieved. 1t could have brought criminal contempt pro- ceedings in the premises and have in- f1icted a jail sentence. It did not know this, however, and the opinion held that it erred in imposing in a civil con tempt case a penalty applicable only to litigation involving criminal contempt
 The charges of contempt against Pres ident Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison arose out of a bitter labor war between organized labor and the Bucks Stove and Range com pany of St. Louis, Mo.
 The St. Louis concern had come into the supreme court of the District of Co., lumbia to prevent by injunction, the American Federation of Labor and its officials from boycottlng its own prod ucts or the business of those who dealt with it. The questions involved and the parties concerned attracted widespread attention. The company claimed that the federation was trying to unionize the company's shops.

 The matter will probably be definitely settled this week. The commission has received offers of a large number of other houses and lots and it is most likely that the selection will be made from one of these.
 The members of the commission have not yet intimated whether they will build or buy, and it is not believed that they have decided It is probable, how ever, that home for the governor will be purchased, as this would save several months delay. and at the same time allow the governor home in which to move within the near future.
