SMITH MAY LOSE
 SIGHT ENTIRELY

s. Lawrence Smith, who was shot by street car conductor some time ago, will return tomorrow from Baltimore and Philadelphia. MT. Smith sustained an injury to- both eyes and it is feared he will never see again. He was ac- companied to Baltimore by Dr. Will Long, his physician, and Miss Grace Smith. his sister The most eminent specialists of Johns Hopkins and Phila- eelpha were consulted but they held out no hope for his sight MT. Smith pos sesses considerable grit, however, and is Tot unnaturally affected by his discour- aging trip.
 He clings to the hope that specialist $ of Baltimore would operate upon his eyes and restore his sight and his many friends here held that faith with him.

Capitol Wing Appropriation

The John V. Smith bill, which seeks to authorize an appropriation of S100.000 for the purpose of having a new wing erect ed to the capitol is looked upon as one of the essential measures which should be passed before the end of the present ses- sion which means before the end of this week. The bill has already gone through the house of representatives and is now on the senate calendar. It will in all probability be given consideration in that body on Tuesday, the forty-ninth work ing day.
 The Kilby commission government bill for the cities of Alabama, the population of which range between 2500 and 250O0, is to be passed by the house. and will 1 all probability become law by the end of the week. No opposition is expected to the passage of the measure.
 Practically all of the administration measures are already off the calendar, though a number of the biggest bills that have yet been brought to the attention of the state solons are to be considered.

py BERRyMAN q. BETTy

Montgomery, April 1o.-(Special.)-Whil but two legislative days remain for the state solons to complete their work of the present session, the impression prevailed tonight that members of the house would probably work four days this week, two Of them to be consumed by the lower branch of the legislature in a committee of the whole.
 The caucus plan is believed to be neees- sary in order for the house to give proper consideration to the large number of sem ate bills on the calendar. There are 166 of these measures to come up in that body, IA of which are special orders. It is believed that should the house meet only two days that there is not the re- motest possibility that ali of the bills could be passed within the allotted time. large number of these bills are con- sidered to be of the most general iin- portance, and none of those measures could be passed without considerable dis

Speaker Almon's Views

Speaker E. B. Almon said tonight that he was strongly in favor of the house working on Wednesday and Thursday in committee of the whole in order that most of the bills might be discussed be- fore the final day of the session. T do not believe" said Judge Aln.on, that there Is any possible way for the house to dispose of the b;lls on its calendar except by meeting >drormally on We'd nesday and Thursday and considering the various measures in committee of the whole. By this means, a large number of the most important bills could be passed on Friday by mearely calling tho roll I am heartily in favor of the plan of using Wednesday and Thursday of this week in this manner. and I am in- clined to think that this will be the pro- gramme.'
 Several house leaders have spoken with favor oe the caucus plan, and it is known that they will combine with Speaker Al- mon in his efforts 10 have this legsla- tive programme adopted.
 The senate ealendaf is not so con- gested When the two houses adjourned last Friday night the senate was prac- tically up with its work, and it is not believed that 1t will be necessary for this branch of the legislature to work other than on the two legislative days.
 Both houses will convene tomorrow to take up the work of the forty-ninth day. The house will assemble at 9 o'clock and it is possible that the members of that body will have the most grinding day of the present session.
 Members who went home when the leg islature adjourned last Friday are back for the last round the hotel lobby to- night being crowded with legislators ready to finish their final duties.

State Mining Law

Gov Emmet O O'Neal announced on Sat urday night that he looked upon the en- actment of state mining law as one of the most imperative steps that the solons should take. Inasmuch as the Hollis min ing law was defeated on last Friday night when the bill was reconsidered, the only hope of the chief executive for the enactment of such a statute at this session of the legislature Is to be found in the Morrow measure, which was de- signed more to protect the operatives, it ia said than the laborers. The governor expresses a desire to have this measure pushed through in order that he might amend the bill before the end of the iftieth working day, so as to have it fully protect those who labor in the bowels of the earth
 "The state has too long left the lives of the miners unprotected" the governor announced in an interview. and it is now high time that we should remedy this fault. Certain it is if the legislature does not make ample provisions to pass a suit able mining law before the end of this session I will secure the enactment Of a suitable statute If I have to call a spe- eia session of the legisla
