HOUSE VERY SLOW IN PASSING BILLS The Caucus Action Seems to
 Have Little Effect FOR INFRINGEMENT Defeat the Bill to Increase the Sal aries of Chancellors and Circuit
 Judges-Routine Work
 in the House

Montgomery. April 14.-(Special.)- Working hard and conscientiously, yet apparently overwhelmed by the inn mense volume of work before them, members of the house succeeded in passing only eight of nine of the 1SS bills on the calendar at the morning session of the last legislative day.
 The bills acted upon this morning were all measures recommended for passage by the caucus. There were something life 40 of these measures on the calendar, all of which were in- dorsed in the house conference on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.
 Endorsement of these bills, however, was not considered as binding upon the members of the house, for two of these bills were this morning defeated after long and hot debates. One of these measures was a bill to require towns of the state of 2500 population to establish stock laws, and the other was a bill to increase the salaries of circuit judges and chancellors.
 Debate of these two bills marked the principal features of the morning ses- sion, members of the house putting themselves on record as favoring local self government and a system Of re- trenchment in regard to the salaries of public officials.

A message from the governor was read, in which he recommended the passage of the bill providing for an appropriation to the Alabama National Guard for the pur- pose of holding maneuvers, camps and target practices.
 The governor urged that the bill be passed without any reduction in the appropriation.
 The governor sent a message to the house amending the jury commission bill so as to make 1t apply only to counties of 30,000 and less.
 MT Pegram said the people of the state wanted relief and that 95 per cent of the people of his county want cd the change. He said if the original provisions of the bill could not stand he was perfectly willing that the bil, should be defeated and that the gov- ernor should bear the responsibility.
 MT. Lumpkin said he was from one of the smaller counties and asked that the bill be allowed to apply to his county if it might not apply to the larger counties.
 Several members of the house showed a desire to defeat the bill if it could not be made to apply to counties of 4o, 900, as the measure originally pro- vided, but the administration forces came quickly to the rescue, and the amendment was concurred in by vote of 54 to IS.

MRS. HEALD GETS
 AWARD OF $35OO Rome and Gadsden Are Fighting Over Railroad
 Schedules

Gadsden. April 4.-(Special.) )-The jury 1 in the case of Heald against the Alabama
 City, Gadsden and Attalla railway after having deliberated for "A hours. returned a verdict today in favor of the plaintiff,
 The demand was for $50, 900. but the award
 of damages was for S35O0. The action was | brought by the widow of Pat Heald, a
 rural mail carrier of Attalla, for the
 death of her husband by being run over
 by a car of the defendant company. The | defendant will appeal to the supreme court.
 The supreme court has rendered a de- cision favorable to the city in the case
 Of the municipality against Mrs T. j.. Strother for the recovery of street
 which had been abandoned by the city and had been in possession of the de- fendant for a number of years. The lower
 court found in favor of the defendant but
 the city appealed the case and secured a | reversal of the judgment.
 Rome is fighting the new schedule that | is being demanded by Gadsden of the Southern railroad, and is making every | effort to maintain the present time tables, which are all in favor of the Georgia city. The railroad commission has taken the matter in hand, however, and the railroad has promised to make some changes that will give this city at least
 an equal chance at the trade carried into
 the cities by this road and these changes will be forthcoming whether the Romans
 object or not.

BOY BADLY SLASHED IN CUTTING SCRAPE Little Man Is Arersted and Must Answer for
 His Act

Cullman, April Especial 1.-Two Noung boys, Leldon Galloway and How ard Doris, engaged in fight here this morning which resulted in the Galloway boy receiving several very painful cuts with a pocket knife about the head ana on the left hand.
 The little Galloway boy has six cuts on the head which are very painful al though not serious, and a gash about two and one-half inches long in the feshy part of the left hand.
 The Doris boy was arrested ana Will he tried in the city court before Mayor Robertson. Both boys are residents or the town and were raised here.
 I. T. Watt. district agent for the asrl- cultural demonstrative work, was in Cuil- man this week and during his stay here vas busily engaged in giving J. K. Turner final instructions in his work as county s,,nervisor of demonstrative work in this county.
 The first of the new crop of the Cuh- man county strawberries have maoe their appearance on the streets of Gull man for sale. These were brought in by Mir L. Ruffertscheafer, a prominent Ger man farmer living near Hanceville. Ihe herries were unusually fine and very ,,,scious. Taking into consideration the emount of cold weather that has been experienced in the county this season the berries were exceptionally large and sreet. This breaks the ice, so to speak, and the berries will begin to come soon at a very rapid rate.
 The Welti neighborhood. which up until recently las been without telephone serV- ice. will nxv be blessed with the neces- sity. Jackson Kelly and Joe Boike, two very prominet.t land owners of that Vl- cinity have just closed a contract with the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph company for a farmers line eX- tending into that neighborhood, which will serve almost the entire community at a very low cost. An exchange will be installed <e Welt and the subscribers in that community will number some - thng/like 20. With the installation or this exchange practically covers the en- tire county with telephone system. The telephone people now have about 500 farmers telephones in operation in Gull man county.

Regular Calendar

the caucus were first taken up, senator Sherrods bill providing for the filing of damage suits by representatives of de- ceased persons being passed without op- position Two companion measures by Senator Sherrod were likewise passed.
 MT. Rice presented to the house tho report of the conference committee on the klhy commission government bill. The committee recommended that the size of towns which may have commission gov ernment be reduced from 1900 to 1000 pop ulation and that three commissioners be appointed by the governor for the first term. to serve one, two and three years, respectively. The recommendation of the committee did not include the necessity for the mayors appointment.
 MT. Brindley of Etowah did not concur in the conference report, stating that he thought the principle of appointing the commissioners was undemocratic. He de- clared that if the citizens of the cities and towns of the state had to determine by an election whether or not they should have commission government. they had the right to select their commissioners.
 The question of concurring in the con ference report was then put to the house, and the report was adopted by a vote of j2 to fl.
 Senator Beasley's bill requiring towns of the state of 2O00 population or more to have a stock law was taken up as the next special order on the calendar.
 Mir Richeson wanted the bill amended so as to apply only to towns of 2500, and more population. The Franklin represen- tative said he thought towns should be allowed to manage their own affairs, that it was undemocratic to force law upon them.
 Mir Lavender sustained MT. Rcheson in the position the latter had taken. The Bibb representative said the members of the house had put themselves on record as favoring local option. and that they would he violating this principle if they insisted on the passage of such meas ure. He then moved to table the bill
 Judge Almon moved to Indefinitely post pone, and, made a vigorous speech in de- fense of the bill. The speaker of the house said that common decency required that the towns of the state of 200 popula- tion have a stock law. He declared that often municipal officers ran their cam paign on the question of a stock law. and that if the matter were decided by the legislature there would be little occasion for this question to come up as an issue. principle of local self government, and op- posed the bill. He was sustained by Mir. Martin.
