Chicago, March 26.-tSpecial.) .)-Appeal- ing to the courts to save the records of his "Absolute Life" cult from destruc- ton. Evelyn Arthur See filed an answer to his wife's suit for separation and maintenance and a cross-bil de- manding that he be granted an absolute divorce.
 Charging that Mrs. See and her attor- ney, J. H. Geweke, and other persons not named, have entered into conspir- acy against him, See asserted that the in- junction which his wife secured before rfiing the safe of his papers, was ob- tained to aid in securing the documents unlawfully He also alleged that these documents were taken for the purpose of embarrassing him in his defense to criminal indictment. He asked an in- junction to prevent the destruction of his documents.
 He said that the loss would mean ire rcparable damage to him, and that no sum of money would recompensd him. lie asked that they be returned tdt him at once or taken into custody byf the court.

Chattanooga, March 26-In describing the manufacture of the mysterious "Mer- ohandise No. B." the principal ingredient of Coca-coa, J. L. schaefer. of Haywood, N. J., the manufacturer, said:
 ''The process consists of two parts. The first part is to decocanize the product. The second part is to use the decocanized leaf and cola nut, both in powdered form, to make the infusion, that is, the same extract made by percolation with diluted alcohol.
 "As stated, the first part of the process consists in eliminating the cocaine and also the other alkaloids from the coca leaves. which Is not used in making the way:
 "The coca leaf is powdered in disinte- grator and the cocaine removed. The powdered coca Is then mixed with aka line solution, that is, with water contain ing a small quantity of alkali, to make the coca leaf slightly alkaline. This is done in a mixer which has been especial ly devised in my works for this purpose. This is carried out by hydro-carbon, that is, an oil, and this oil could not easily penetrate into the powder of coca leaf if the coca leaf would be made too moist; consequently the volume of water has to be as small as possible to penetrate fully the powdered leaf. It is for that that the water to which alkali is added and which solution is sprayed into the powdered coca leaf in the rolling mill I mentioned, must be the minimum amount of water needed to liberate the cocaine and other alkaloids which are in the form of cer- tain salts in the coca leaf rom the salt coinbintion. The rolling-I mean the force of it, is used to force the alkaline solu- tion with great power into the powdered coca"
 pr. Schaefer then described the machin- cry by which the process Is carried out and proceeded:

STRONG PROTEST AGAINST PROBABLE
 EXTRA SESSION

The Montgomery Advertiser, in an ed itorial yesterday. urges the legislature to take a recess at the conclusion of the fftieth day of the regular session, and protests strongly against an extra session following on the heels of the present
 The editorial, "A Good Way Out of d Bad situation," follows:
 Recently there has been much talk around the state capitol about the prob ability of an extra session of the legis- lature. It has been said frequently that it was improbable that all the important business before the legislature could be disposed of within 50 days.
 This talk has grown more and more insistent in the last few days. AS the remaining days grow fewer, the work Of the body seems to have gone slower, and the pile of unfinished business has appeared to loom up.
 On Friday, for the first time, there developed more substantial ground for his talk, and on Saturday more of i. as heard than at any time before. This
 evelopment was the snarl between the wo houses over the general revenue bill and the involved question of change In the back tax laws. The house is about evenly divided on the Pegram back tax reform bill, while the senate incorporated 1t substantially into the general reve- nue bill a few hours before the house turned it down.
 On Saturday this snarl manifested symptoms of a very serious situation. The conference committee of the two houses met, and though they had the benefit of legislative recess and of a gloomy day, 10 enable them to work out an agreement, they failed to accomplish anything. It is clear that it is very difficult situation. While the two com mittees have points of view in common, 1t is said that they are radically diver gent on others. There are very able, very firm, very tenacious, very aggres- sive men from each house on the com-

The latter source was regarded by op- ronents of the system as the most unjust. for from this source it was pointed out that the county tax commissioner in some of the counties of the state re- ceived as much compensation in commis- sions as from both. of the others com bined.
 The Pegram bill sought to abolish the old system, the new tax commission fea ture in the revenue bill is aimed at secIr- ing practically the same results What the conference committee will decide with reference to this feature is a matter of speculation, though the suggestion has been made that the committee will eIimi- nate the objectionable insurance clause from the bSl and retain the back tax commissioner seature.
 How They Stand
 It is interesting to note that the delega. tions from Birmingham. Mobile and Mont gomery are about equally divided on the hack tax feature. When the vote on the Pegram bill was taken on last Frida Y Walker Percy, T. J. Judge and T. H. Mol. ton of Birmingham voted for the bill while T. c. Mcdonald, w. H. Barna re and c. A. O'Neil voted against the meas. ure Mir. Eustis the other member ot the Jefferson county delegation, was moi present.
 The mefIlDeTs Dl tfc MODue delegdtlOf who voted for the bill were Albert Busl and George J. Sullivan. MT Chamberlain voted against the bill.
 The vote was equally divided in tn, Montgomery delegation, Frank Stol1e1 werck and John V. Smith voting for the bill, and R. l.. Butt and P. B. Mastir voting against it.
 The delegations from the three larger counties of the state were, therefore, di vided in the house. with one vote ma jority for the abolition of the present sys tenn.

Class of Stranger Organized


 auditorium of the Central Presbyterian church Sunday morning "The Class of the Stranger" was formally organized and the work was inaugurated with great enthusiasm. Following the en- | rollment a committee on nomina tions was appointed and this committee will report next Sunday, when officers will | be elected.
 The meeting was presided over by Rev. R. l.. Bell, pastor of the Central church, while the music was in charge of Miss Virginia Handley and Miss Ed | na Sandln.
 The first speaker was J. R. Hornady, who explained the purpose of the Class of the Stranger. and who paid a hign 1 tribute to those who have come to Bir- rlingham from time to time as stran- gers bat who identified themselves at once with its material, intellectual and moral development.
 "Because of the richness of It's re- | sources,' he said, the ma gnitude of it's | industrial and commercial enterprise g and the splendid opportunities it of | fers for material advancement Bir- mingham has in the past attracted thoasands of young men and young women from all parts of Alabama as well as from surrounding states. These young aople came here fired with an ambtioI to become vital factors in the progress of our city and their record is one of splendid achievement. t. | All over our city and district are monum ents to the genius and zeal ol those who have come among us as strangers. They have erected grea buildings, have founded gigantic en- 1 terprises, and have contributed freely of their time. their talents and their means in founding and carrying on works and institutions that make for ] the common good Were we to wipe out of exis5 ence the works of the stran | gers who have located in Birmingham from time to time. factories. churches | hospitals, homes and business struc- lures would crumble and our city in- stead of being one of the gr eatest in the south, would become one of the least.
 "So. we must concede that Birming- | ham owes much to the stranger, and | can conceive of no more appropriat C or more practical way of showing our appreciation than by founding some l work in his name that may become a guiding and uplifting influence in the | lives of those countless strangers who | q yaf fn
