]. c. Groner, one Of the leaders of
the "insurgent" legislators Of Tennea-
see, ex-shertn of Knox county, and
one OF the picturesque figures in the
kind of politics that are making his
tory just now up Tennessee way, ar
rived in the city yesterday morning,
and, with r. c. Spratling, has been at
the San Carlos hotel since then, where
he has been making arrangements In
order that the rest OF the famous
thirty-four'' may arrive In the city
within the next few days to enjoy an
outing and pleasure visit around Pen
sacola, which, according to Mr.. Groner,
cannot be beaten.
He thinks that Pensacola, with her
be- her gulf beach, the San Carlos
hotel, and its fine people, is Just the
place for his colleagues to spend the
rest OF the rather indefinite period
which they will be forced to remain
away from their native state. and he
is bending every effort in order that
they may start out Of Birmingham at
once for the Deep Water City.
Mr.. GRoNER TALKS.
When seen by Journal representa-
tive yesterday morning, Mr.. Groner
an enthusiastic man, impressive at ali
times, and with the look of the born
statesman about him, talked freely of
the unique and extremely interesting
situation in Tennessee.
Here is the status Of the case: The
attempt has been made to repeal the
present prohibition laws now in force
in the state. The senate is decidedly
wet" while In the house, where The
"insurrection" hast Aaken place. there
are ninety-nine members, and q uuor-
UNI is necessarily composed Of sixty
six members. There were originally
fifty-four members Of the house who
stood out stubbornly for the continu-
ance of the persent liquor laws. when.
on April 11th, Ave of that number
mysteriously went over to the side of
the ''wets-"
Upon learning this, and to break the
quorum, thirty-four of the opposing
side left Immediately for Alabama,
their intention being to thus prevent
the repeal of the Tennessee prohibition
laws.
They left fifteen of their members
there, and when any one OF the absent
legislators finds that he is obliged to
return on account of sickness, etc, one
Of the home body is substituted In his
place.
In this manner a deadlock has been
formed, with the result that it may
possibly be two years before the de-
termined men who have taken UP their
unique position may return to their
homes again.

when the Davis anti-Iiqaor bill was
being considered.
The bill may be a very excellent
measure, or it may not be, and its
merits really have little to do with the
case in point. The measure provides
among other things that liquor shall
not be sold in smaller quantities than
one-fourth Of pine; the purpose being
to discontinue the custom Of social
drinking in saloons; there was a pro-
vision also for the regulation OF the
opening and closing hours.
Senator Calkins held that the bill
took away from the municipalities the
police power; that the opening ard
closing hours of saloons should be
regulated by the city councils Of the
towns in which saloons were licensed.

exception to the rule. Following is an

strikers at Pitcairn while at the local
shops some Of the other employees be-
sides the men involved in the dispute
with the railroad company also went
out.
A. E. Ireland, general organizer Of
the railroad department of the Amer

The strikers are claiming that other
employees Of the company, to the num-
Der of 10000, will go out in sympathy
some time today or tomorrow. At Pit
cairn the company had laid off $500
men but the 500 men remaining

men held meetings, that they would
take such quick action and it was
