STEVENS CALLS IT UP
Fly BERRYMAN e. BETTY

Montgomery. March 2.---tSpecialD- Material opposition to the bill seeking to establish court of appeals in Ala bama did not manifest itself in the Alabama senate today as had been<an- ticipated by the friends of the measure. The measure was the first one to be reached under the special order rule of the day. but was passed by the up per house almost before the noon hour. Six opponents of the measure stood out to the last for the appointment of commission to undertake the furnish ing of some sort of relief to the su- preme court but 22 of the senators were in favor of Immediate passage of the bill and as a consequence the ma jority prevailed.
 Consideration of the measure in the senate was arrived at in systematic way, Senator Stevens championing the cause from the arrival of the special order to passage of the measure. Amendments which were attached to the measure in previous sessions of the senate were withdrawn upon vote of the senators in the first stages of the struggle and gave way to one amendment which was tagged on to suit the requirements of both houses.
 As passed. the measure provides for the appointment of three judges at a salary of S500O each to have equal rank with the Alabama supreme court, which judges are to act in an inter- mediate though supreme capacity in the cases which are brought under the Jurisdiction of that court. All appeal cases of minor nature are to be con- sidered by the court, including felony apneals llD to 20 years

the appointment of three judges at a salary of $500O each to have equal rank with the Alabama supreme court, which judges are to act in an inter mediate though supreme capacity in | the cases which are brought under the jurisdiction of that court. All appeal cases of a minor nature are to be con- sidered by the court, including felony appeals up to 20 years
 Harmonious Action Senator Tom Stevens of Mobile called for action on the measure immediately upon the conclusion of the first routine work of the day. He called attention to the fact that the bill had been a special order since February 10, prior to which time the measure had rested in the calendar for several weeks, He said that the provisions of the bill had been thoroughly discussed and threshed over. with the result that longer delay on the bill would be need less. Senator Stevens thereupon, in order to bring the bill thoroughly to the attention of the body, moved that the vote whereby the three previous bUlelQIAeHlS HdQ DetH NoSSCo oii pN reconsidered in order that blanket amendment might be proposed to sat isfy all the requirements
 This motion carried. He then moved that each of the three amendments be tabled, which was also ordered. The general amendment was then proposed. Senator Beasley of Fayette promptly objected to the bill as amended, declar- ing that in his opinion the wisest course r. sion appointed to investigate the double task of furnishing relief to the state su- preme court and to the nisi prius courts of Alabama, as suggested in the spe cial message of Gov. Emmet O'Neal. He said that nasty action on the bill might be regretted. and because of that opinion offered a motion to further postpone ac- ton on the measure.
 Senator Stevens rallied to the defense of his measure. declaring that sufficient time had been given for thorough re- view of the question. He moved to table the motion of Senator Beasley, but with drew the motion in order to allow freer debate on the subject.
 Forces Unite
 Senator Spragns of Madison county smoke in favor of the bill as amended, declaring that further delay was use less and dilatory He seconded the mol 
 ton of Senator Stevens.
 Senator Moody of Tuscaloosa, who was one of the senators who several weeks ago favored delay on the bill, also spoke in favor of having the measure put upon it's immediate passage. He said that the measure did not satisfy him in every particular, but that it afforded that re- lief to the supreme court which he be- lieyed to be necessary.
 Senators Allen. c. w. Brown and At kins also spoke in favor of the bill. each speaker urging the passage of the instru- ment in order that better relief might be afforded the states highest tribunal Senator Allen stated that the spirit of the times demanded that the court show the same progress as the other depart ments of state government He opposed any suggestion of delay.
 Senators Brown and Atkins, who also favored delay several weeks ago, declared that investigation had proved to them the necessity of such court, and that

The meeting Of steel manufacturers
in New York this week is seemingly
the pivot OF the market; at all events
it is the latest reason given Tor the
holding off OF buyers Steel manufac-
turers are represented TO be practically
unanimous in favor OF holding prices
az they are in view of the decline that
has already taken place for the 1907
level and the belief that there is no
damned up demand which lower prices
would release.
From the railroad standpoint the
immediate sitaution is considered to
be better to the extent that 220 locomo-
tive have been placed in the last week

more promise. The acceptance OF the
