FATE OF THE SMITH BILL
 IS CAUSING UNEASINESS

The impression has got abroad that the supreme court will declare the Smith bill, under which licensed saloons are being operated. unconstitutional. The report is that there wil be a division of the justices to 8 in favor of unconstitutionality.
 As result of the report there is con siderable excitement among the saloon proprietors and excise commissioners, the former being disturbed because of their investments and the latter concerning their jobs.
 Those who have spread the report claim to have received straight tips. It is gen orally believed, however that the report is due to the fact that Of the members of the supreme court four are prohibitions ists. which fact. of course. will have nothing to do with their decision on the legal issue.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-25

The uneasiness on the part of saloon keepers is natural for this if no other reason-the matter is before the court It is not believed that either of the justices have told in advance what his decision will be.
 The bill when drawn was considered by excellent legal authorities. among the number being the attorney general and other counsel at the command of the gov ernor.
 Should the bill be declared unconstitu- tional there may be another reason for tional, there may be another reason for an extraordinary session of the leeisla- ture Sho,ild the extraordinary session occur and be asked to patch up the bill. before this could be accomplished and new railroad legislation enacted many weeks will probably have slipped by.

Mestach's Beautiful Flight

While the race came to an end Jimmy Ward was still soaring overhead and then George Mestach in the Borel mon- oplane went up and commenced se- ries of great aerial evolutions which wound up the afternoon performances.
 After the first getaway he headed his great dragon fly to the north, then circled around and came down past the erandstand. He darted first down to the ground and then into the heavens again. passed back and forth across the sky before the crowd and there were murmurs of admiration each time he passed. He did remarkable work.
