CHANGES IN OFFICE
More Room Secured for Department
 of Agriculture

Montgomery, February 20.-(Special.)- Capt. Reuben F. I<olb, commissioner of agriculture and induscrfes is making a number of improvements in his office al. the capitol. Heretofore the officials of the agricultural department have occu- pied one large office, the commissioner S desk being in the same room.
 The improvements consist in a large partition. which has been placed in the office, giving more privacy to the com missioner, as we'll as giving the whole a more business-like appearance At some time in the near future the com missioner contemplates establishing his office in the department occupied by the commissioner of game and fish, as this latter department has ample room for two offices. The partitioned area in the agricultural department will then be oc- cupied by Captain Kolbs chief clerk These changes will afford more room for the officials of this department, which has been a long-felt want.

FnOM -~--->--~~~-----~----~- cling expenses of every man, to and from, are paid by the state. Secretary Herbert, from previous ex- perience, states that on the second lap of the session every member would re- turn with from three to five local bills, the great majority of which are of lit- tie importance. This would cause the employment of additional house and sen ate help at $4 per day.
 However, the expense is not that which precludes the probability of a split ses- sion Very little work has been accom- plshed. A great deal must be accom- plished.
 The local option bill an item of great importance has passed both houses and will probably be signed by the governor tomorrow. But that legislation amounts to nothing unless a regulation bill is passed. Considerable tme-two weeks. 1t is thought-will be required to get a regulation measure through both of the branches.
 Then the revenue and appropriation bills are yet to come. Experienced mem- bers of the legislature declare that be- fore this work Is accomplished at least three weeks will have passed. In case a split session Is then agreed upon the split session can consist of but 12 days. for with the passage of another three weeks 3S of the 50 working days will have gone.
 Then the question remains: 'Would t not be better to finish the 50 days and not by, recess subject the state to an extra expense of s10,O00 or N2,000?" The point is made. too. that if an ex- tra session is needed it can be, had sim ply by the call of the governor.

 ON COMMISSION

Montgomery, February 20-tSpecial) )- Since the passage of the bill assuring commission government for Montgomery there has been a large number of promi- .nent citizens of the city who have been suggested as possible candidates for com nlissioners The list includes lawyers, bankers, business men and citizens prom inent in other walks of life in Montgom- cry.
 One of the first 70 announce his candi- dacy however, is Troy Halls, a popular young business man of the city. MT. Halls is prominent in the club and social life of the city, and is we'll known in every section of Montgomery.
 MT. Halls has thoroughly reviewed the field and he declares that he will be elected He says he has a we'll organized campaign and that it has been in opera tion for the past two months.

 Mr. Halls is one of the most prominent young men in social circles in the city, and is related to a number of the best known families in Montgomery. He has entered the campaign with much enthusi- asm and earnestness and he maintains that he has an excellent chance of being elected

Harriet Labadie, a lecturer, attempted to commit suicide in this city at o'clock this morning by Jumping out of a third-story window of the Exchange hotel. Only the com bined efforts of negro maid, assist ed by the night clerk at the hotel, who rushed to the attendants aid on receiv- ing the alarm, prevented the woman from leaping to her death By main force the wouldbe suicide was dragged back into her room and placed on tue bed.

 Mrs. Titus, accompanied by Mrs. Anna B. Roberts, registered at the Ex- change hotel on last Wednesday. Both women are advance agents of Mime. Harriet Labadie, who Is scheduled to lecture at the High school auditorium on February 2S.

 It is understood that Mrs. Titus gradually grew more violent which eliminated in an attempt at suicide early this morning. When she tried to jump from the window, spectators in the street witnessed the alarming spec tacle of a woman half out of the win dow of her third story room, strug- gling with main force to free herself from the grasp of her attendant.
 People on the street were horror stricken at the appalling sight, eX- pecting every minute to see the woman dashed to her death Many turned their eyes away not wishing to witness the awful scene. At this time' however, the negro woman received as sistance from the night clerk at the hotel and together they lifted the de- mented woman back into her room
 Mrs Titus will be held temporarily at police headquarters
