ONLY TWELVE OF ORIGINAL THIRTY-FOUR IN PARTY LEAV- ING BIRMINGHAM YESTERDAY

The fusionist party of insurgents from the legislature of Tennessee, after almost one months stay in Birming- ham in an effort to unquorum the gem eral assembly of ther state in order to defeat the passage of certain meas ures having to do with temperance and general elections, returned home yes- terday afternoon at o'clock with the belief that their purpose had been ac- complished.
 The insurgent band left Nashville on the night of Wednesday, April ?, going to Decatur. where they stayed until Sunday, April Is. It was the inten- tion of the fusionists to return to Ten nessee perhaps after April IS when their per diem of 75 days expired thus leaving them, as they maintained im- mune from the authority of the regu- lar members by whom they could nave been compelled to attend the sessions to form a quorum
 When the band of S4 fusionists broke the quorum of the general assembly of Tennessee there were over 1000 meas ures on the calendar of the house to be acted on. The finances of the state were running low, but the legislature

could make no appropriations without a quorum.
 There were only about 12 in the party leaving Birmingham yesterday after- noon for Tennessee. The ress Of the party had scattered through the terl ritory of six of the states adjoining their own, and many of them had gone within hailing distance of the bound- arv line of Tennessee in order to com m,,nicate with their families and friends across the border. N<
 Before leaving yesterday the members of the party presented Speaker J. J. B. Johnsonious of the Alabama division with a handsome gold-headed walking cane, on which was engraved his entitle- ments, with the date of the flight and re- turn of the fusionist party An expensive gift in the way of an umbrella was pre- sented J. A. Householder. who is one of the veteran members of the filibuster party and most beloved of their num- Der.
 only few of the fusionists returned to Nashville. The others steered clear of the capital city and went home. Each one was confident that the party had accomplished all that was possible by their expedition, and they considered 1t useless to tarry longer. .
 One of the insurgent party is still in the city recuperating from a slight but painful operation. This member is G. E. Burbage, who has been one of thu mainstays of the party. Representative Burbage has been accompanied by Mrs. Burbage on the trip, and they both ex- pect to return home within day or so, when Representative Burbasss condition Wns pesst'.s'a ,.s 4.s .s. # [

GOVERNOR VISITS
 THE TROY NORMAL

Montgomery, May 11.-(Special)- Governor Emmet O'Neal Is in Troy to- day for the purpose of inspecting with the state normal school board the normal college at that place. The gov ernor left with the board this morning in automobiles, the party leaving the Exchange hotel about o'clock. Those in the party were Governor O'Neal Robert B. Evins of Greensboro, W. w.

 the board.
 The Troy Normal college is the third normal school which the board has
 visited. The normal college at Flor ence and the institution at Jackson vile were visited by the board on Mon day and Tuesday, respectively, of this week
 The main purpose of the boards visit to these schools has been to inspect these institutions, the buildings, equipment and general facilities which they have to offer The needs of the schools are being closely studied, and it is believed that the creation of this board will serve in the end to bring about many good results for the six normal colleges in the state.
 The board also has in mind the beauti- flying of the school grounds, and this sub ject has been mentioned at all of the meetings which the board has held. Other valuable suggestions are offered by the board, and it is anticipated that the inter- ests of the normal schools will be splen- didly conserved by the work of the nor nal school board.
 Within the near future the board will visit the normal schools at Moundville, Livingston and Daphne, thus completing their round of the several normal colleges of the state.
