HOUSE SUSTA|NS GOVERNORS VETO Newspaper Pass Bill Meets
 Its Death HARD FIGHT MADE Debate in House Continued Practi- cally All Day, Strong Effort Be- ing Made to Override the
 Governor
By BERRYMAN G. BETTY

| Montgomery, March 17.-(Special)-
 After long and hot bedate, the house today sustained Governor Emmet O'Neal in his veto of the newspaper pass bill.
 The fight occurred on the adoption of
 the amendments proposed by Governor
 O'Neal to the bill by Mir Greene of Dal-
 las, providing that the families of rail-
 road employees, superannuated railroad
 attaches and old Confederate soldiers
 be allowed to accept free passes The
 governor was sustained by a vote of AZ to 40.
 | When the bill was called up for pas
 sage in the senate, that body added two amendments, the first providing that passes might be granted to news paper men in exchange for advertising
 and the second that sheriffs and chiefs of police might be allowed transporta- tion. The bill, as amended was return
 ed to the house and that body, by large majority, concurred in the sen ate amendments. Yesterday afternoon Governor O'Neal returned the bill to the house without his approval, sug- gesting several amendments to meet his objection.
 r The first referred to old Confederate soldiers. the governor wanting this provision amended so as to include only soldiers on the pension rolls of the state. The other amendments which the governor suggested were that the provisions granting free passes to the sheriffs, chiefs of police and to newspaper men in exchange for advertising should be eliminated from the bill. It was on these features that the fight occurred, strong effort be- ing made to pass the bill over the gov ernor's veto.
 The fight against the governor was lead by Speaker Almon and Representa- tive Pegram, while Representatives Merritt and Paige were pronounced leaders on the side of the administra- tion.

On this afternoon the debate was renewed and the question was not definitely decided until about 1 o'clock this afternoon, when the house sustain ed the governor. The vote on the bill was as follows:

Merritt Opposes Bill

Representative Merritt of Macon said 1t was settled policy of the state that free passes should not be granted. He declared that the bill was not designed to give old Confederate soldiers a pass, but that the bill had been burdened with that provision merely to give transportation to newspaper men,
 Continuing in this vein, MT. Merritt said: NO, my friends, this is not for the old Confederate soldiers, but for the lov- able. kindly, newspaper men,"
 The debate continued up until recess, when the house adjourned until o'clock this afternoon.

Newspaper Pass Bill

| Elghty-five members were present this morning when Speaker Almon called the house to order. Many of the members had on green neckties and shamrock badges in houor of St. Patricks Day. Prayer was offered by Representative Jones of Monroe county After the general routine matters in the house had been disposed of, MT Waddell moved that the consideration of the governors message in reference to the newspaper pass bill be postponed until the next legislative day.
 MT. Arnold moved to table this mo- ton of MT. Waddell with the result that the motion of the Calhoun repre- sentative prevailed and the bill was | taken under consideration
 | The first speaker on the question was Judge Almon, who stated that the matter of giving passes to newspaper men in exchange for advertising had been before the legislature for some time. Judge Almon declared that there was nothing constitutionally wrong with the proposition, that after all ii was merely a question of opinion. | Judge Almon then took up in detail the three proposed amendments of the governor; the first relating to giving lpasses to old Confederate sildiers. l Iue SpedhtT Ol the mousse naOe ar earnest plea for the old soldiers 'Is there man on the floor of this house, asked the speaker, who is willing tc go on record as being opposed to grant ing passes to these old soldiers?" He said that giving these old veterans passes would enable them to attend conventions and would prove of othel benefit to the soldiers who fought fol | the south.
 In regard to the second amendmen proposed by the governor, which seek to present sheriffs from accepting passes, Judge Almon said that thes, officers of the law were justly entitled to free transportation, particularly a many of them were not able to pur chase transportation.
 "It often happens" said Judge Almon that officers of the law are not abl to purchase transportation; it often hap pens that they are prevented frim ren dering certain important service to tn state because they do not posses passes, whereas if free transportatiol were given them, they would at al times be in a position to render thei lbest service not only to their com lmunities but to the state at large.
 Newspaper Passes
 Discussing the third amendment to tn bill. as proposed by the governor, I reference to granting passes to news paper men in exchange for advertising Judge Almon said that if the newspape
 men of this state were allowed fire transportation 1t would do much towar developing the resources and industrie
 of the state. The speaker considere
 that this was one of the chief reason
 why newspaper men should be allowe
 passes, because they would be able
 travel over the state and thus get idea
 of the progress that was being made
 other portions of Alabama.
 The governor says 1t has been se tied policy of the state not to gral
 transportation to newspaper men, but

WORK ON GONG
CAUSES ALARM

Quite a number of people on Pala-
fox street yesterday afternoon a few
minutes before o'clock were startled
when they saw several of the Are
trucks came tearing down the street to
Palafox and Cedar, while the members
of the fire department were surprised
when they got to that place and found
no trace or sign of any fire.
All of which was caused by the
moving of the fire alarm indicator at
the police station from one side of the
desk sergeant's Office to the other
After he had changed the location of
the indicator, City Electrician LeBaron
switched the lever to test the machine
thus giving one tap. At just the right
interval, his assistant pushed the but
ton twice. in order to test that part
of the apparatus, thus giving two more
taps and giving the signal which called
the members of the fire department to
box II.
The run down Palafox street by the
firemen caused considerable excitement
and for ten or fifteen minutes the of
ficers at the police station were kept
continually busy answering the tele-
phone and informing people that there
was no fire.

A TALLAHASSEE
NEGRO CAUGHT
IN MICHIGAN
SHERIFF OF LEON COUNTY IS
HERE WITH JOHN MINIS, WHO
is CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
WITH INTENT TO MURDER.

That the meshes of the law extend
long way and that escaping from its
clutches is no easy task in this country
is demonstrated in the case of John
Minis, negro, who arrived her on the
$3.50 train last night in the custody of
Sheriff Houston, of Leon county, who
is returning him to Tallahassee from
Detroit, Michigan, where he was re-
Gently captured. Sheriff Houston, who
has been on the road a week, stopped
over in the city last night, commit
ting his prisoner to the city jail, and
will leave on the 6:45 train this morn
ing for Tallahassee.
The charge on which Minis is want
ed in Tallahassee is assault with in
tent to murder. He either escaped
from custody or jumped q bond and
succeeded in getting as far as De-
troit, but even there he was not able
to escape the strong arm of the law,
and must now go back and face trial.

MANAGER OF
1871 FAIR TO
MAKE REPORT
BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL HOLD
MEETING FOR THIS PURPOSE
THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
THIS REPORT WILL NOT BE
THE FINAL. ONE.

For the purpose of receiving a re-
port from the secretary and general
manager, an important meeting of the
board of directors of the Pensacola In
terstate Fair Association will be held
this afternoon at 8 o'clock in the office
of General Manager N. J. Lillard,
50S-9 Blount building.
Although the report that will be
made this afternoon will not be the
final one, it is thought that after the
meeting this afternoon the directors
will be able to ascertain how much
of a financial success the fair of 1911
was. OF course there may be yet a
few outstanding bills which have not
been sent in to the association yet, so
that the final report cannot be made
and it cannot be told to a dollar how
the finances stand, but a good general
idea may be obtained from the report
which will be handed in this after
noon.
Matters of a financial nature will be
discussed at this meeting and the
holding of the next fair may be touched
upon. The meeting is very import
ant one and the general manager
urges every member of the board of
directors to attend if possible.

TO GULF FROM
CINCINNATI
UNoFFIciALLY ANNOUNCED THE
LOUISVILLE E. NASHVILLE Is
PREPARING TO CARE FOR THE
INCREASED FREIGHT BUSINESS.

The Birmingham News of yester-
day says in part:
That the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road Is to double track its entire main
lines from Cincinnati to New Orleans
in anticipation of the great amount of
business that will naturally go through
New Orleans with the Panama canal
opened; and that the proposed double
tracking of the line from Nashville to
Birmingham is but the initial work on
this huge project, which involves mil
lions of dollars, is the unofficial state
ment made here Wednesday morning.
Local officials of the Louisville and
Nashville state that they know moth
ing of the double tracking Of the line
from Cincinnati to New Orleans, other
than that the line from Nashville to
Birmingham is to be double ira ked.
Further than that they are in ignor-
ance of the company's plans, they
state. However, the authority for the
statement i" considered excellent.
The ordc $4,000 tons of 80-pound
steel rails nifty given the Ensley
steel mills W the Louisville and Nash
vile is to be used for the double
tracking of the line between Nashville
and Birmingham.
1t is thought that after this work
VIII have been well started, announce
ments of further double tracking on
the line from Cincinnati to New Or
leans will be made by the corporation.
Will Cover New Route.
- 1t is understood that this plan con-
templates a new route covering the
undeveloped territory OF west Alabama.
Thls plan is for the new double track
ing to branch off at CaIera and con-
tfnue directly down the Tombigbee
valley, instead of through the cut-over
pine lands south of Montgomery. This
plan would include Selma in its route
and would be for through freight
alone, passenger traffic to be con-
ntinued over the present route.
The Louisville and Nashville, II Is
said. recognizes the benefits to be had
by double-tra clxing its line straight on
to New Orleans from the Queen City.
