These legislators were Representatives Rylance of Tallapoosa Rice of Tuscaloosa and Brindley or Etowah, three members who have taken a conspicuous part In the house pro- ceedings during the present session. l When the house adjourned yesterday afternoon Representative Rylance in vited Mr. Rice and MT. Brindley to take a. spin with him in his machine. It was an ideal afternoon and just suited for joy ride. The beautiful roads around Montgomery tempted. the autoists, and before they were aware of it the shades of evening were upon them.
 Representative Rylance then stopped his machine and attempted to light his lamps. He then discovered that he had no carbide.
 Turning around. the party proceeded
 
 reached Court Square. and were con graduating themselves that they had met with no mishaps. a large cop in brass buttons acoosted them. and told l them they were under arrest.
 Representative Rylance explained that he was out of carbide, and that the dark had overtaken him unawares. This was a good excuse, but 1t did not suf- ! flee.
 l Representative Brindley, of revenue bill lamt, then informed the bulwark of the law that MT Rylance could not he arrested. that the state constitution exempted him. inasmuch as he was a me mber of the legislature.
 The police officer. after some discus sion. in which he inquired the names of the members of the party, finally l admitted that Mr. Brndley had taken the correct position and allowed the automobile to proceed without further Amolestation.
