DOG CASE TRIED
 AT FLAT CITY

The time of the commissioners court at Flat in the early part of the week was taken up with the trial of one of the Iditarod's famous dog cases.
 John Kloncs, better known as John the Creek" swore out a complaint against ". D. Cohee, accusing the latter of taking away his beloved dog Dick. The case was tried before Judge Taylor without a jury, Henry Roden appearing for Cehee.
 The trial developed the fact that the dog originally belonged to Jamison, of the old firm of Cascaden & Jamson, and that Mr. Jamison had sold the dog to Cohee. The dog had been in the habit of hanging around John Klonos' place, and like other dogs, rustled it's living along the creek, picking up a bone here and there. During all this time, it was shown to the satisfaction of the court, Jamison was in possession and took care of the dog. After the good reputation for honesty and integrity of Cohee had been testified to by many oldtimers the court decided that Mr. Cohee came rightfully into possession of the dog, and that Klonos had &C., cused a man whom he must have known to be innocent, and therefore the costs were assessed against him. Thus ended another dog case.

LAWMAKERS ARE
 STILL ABSOLUTE Tennessee SOlOns Do Not Waver in Purpose to
 Remain Away

The 8 members of the Tennessee leg islature who are sojourning in Birming- ham for the purpose of breaking a quo rum of that body to prevent consideration of certain measure sattended the Bijou theatre iii body last night, where they witnessed the Schiller Players presenta- tion of ''The Girl of the Golden West"
 The regular daily session was held at the Jefferson hotel yesterday morning, the members not caring to make the trip to the Chamber of Commerce auditorium on account of the inclemency of the weather. All the insurgents were pre>snt when the roll was called, and the reading of messages received from their constitu- ents in Tennessee was heard with undi- vided interest, A number of the legisla- tors delivered speeches and all declard they were willing to remain in Birmingham during the remaining days before the ad- journment of the general assembly of Tennessee on April 29
 The strength of purpose of the insur- gents was evidenced by the case of Repre- sentative Parrot of Cooke county, who denied himself the melancholy privilege of attending the funeral of his father-in- law, which occurred in Tennessee yester- day.
 Although the members originally planned to leave for Atlanta on Saturday, it is probable that they will remain in Birmingham during the entire time until the legislature of Tennessee is officially adjourned.
 An invitation was received yesterday from the Gadsden board of trade for the legislators to make visit to that town, and it is possible that the trip may be made.

STAND PATTERSA ARE:
 MAKING LAST STAND
Working Hard to Reduce Republican Reciprocity
 Forces

Washington April 19.-(Special 1.-The last stand of the standpatters against tho Canadian reciprocity bill is being made by the American Protective Tariff league, which is undertaking to dictate the policy of the republican party and in so doing to put the ban upon reciprocity. The American Protective Tariff league, with headauarters in New York city, is sup ported in large part by manufacturers of the country who have been the benefici- aries of the high tariff.
 The league, through Wilbur F. Wake man, its secretary. has started a back fire on republicans of the House who are supposed to be warming to the cause of reciprocity advanced by President Taft. MT. Wakeman has telegraphed to manu- lecturers and high protectionists in vari- ous parts of the country urging them to bring pressure to bear on republican rep resentatives in Congress to vote against reciprocity.
 The republicans whom MT. Wakeman recommends to discipline by the high pro- tectionists constituents are Fuller and Mckinney of Illinois, Crumpacker of In- diana, Hubbard of Iowa, Murdock of Kansas, Loud of Michigan, Wood of New Jersey, Driscoll Danforth and Vreel of New York, Switzer of Ohio, Griest. Farr. Bowman, Crago, Matthews and Porter of Pennsylvania and Austin of Tennessee.
 The purpose of this propaganda is really, if possible. majority of the republicans of the House against reciprocity so that the democrats may have all the credit of passing the bill and that the attenuated claim may be made that reciprocity is a democratic measure and not republican doctrine" The standpatters are exerting their utmost today in arguments and pleadings to win away such a number of republicans from support of the Cana dian bill as may he necessary to give even the barest majority within the mi nority against the bill.
 As the lineup stands today the vote of the republican factions in the house promises to be close, the standpatters claim slight majority of republican In opposition to the bill.
 Mir. Wakeman gave out an interview to- day in New York bitterly attacking Pres ident Taft as a traitor to the cause of high protection and repudiating him for President in 1912, suggesting Vice Pres ident sherman as the candidate of the high protectionists.

MUST BE MOVING
 AT STATE CAPITOL
Half Dozen Departments on the Lookout for Quar-
 ters on Outside

Montgomery, April 19.-(Speciat)- John D. McNeal, private secretary to Governor O'Neal, is still on the look out. for offices In which to locate the departments that are to be moved from the capitol There are more than a half dozen state departments to be moved and conjecture has been rife during the last few days regarding the probable location of these offices.
 From all that can be learned the de- partments scheduled to be moved out of the capitol are the Pasteur insti- tute, the convict department, the off, fee of the state prison inspector the hook kworm department, the banking de- partment, the. office of the adjutant general and probably others.
 Practically all of these offices are on the third floor of the capitol, and they twill be moved in order to make room for the newly created court of appeals At present this tribunal has no place to hold it's sessions and the judges of the court are compelled to occupy offices jointly with other state officials.
 The suggestion has been made that l building will probably be rented con- tiguous to the capitol, and that all of the departments to be moved will be located in this building. It is believed that the governor himself favors this plan though this has not yet been definitely determined
 Other suggestions have been to the effect that all of these departments will be located in one of the big office buildings in the business district of the city, either In the First National bank building or in the Bell building.
 This matter, however, will probably be determined during the present week, in which event the departments named will be moved to their new quarters carly during the coming week.
