Montgomery, June 4.-(SpeciaD-The su- preme court today rendered decision confirming the appointment of Louis ". Clark, of Birmingham. to the office of brigadier general. thereby nullifying the appointment of General Bibb Graves to that office by Former Governor B. B.. Conner, and confirmed by the Circuit Court of Montgomery county.
 The contest between General Graves and General Clark was considered one of the most interesting questions of law that has been before the Supreme Court for some time. and hinged upon the dura- ton of the term of office of General Clark, who had been formerly appointed by Governor Conner.
 General Graves was appointed briga- dier general by Governor Conner on Jan uary 10 1911. and his appointment was confirmed by the state senate. Shortly after O'Neals induction into office, that official appointed General Clark Briga- dier General, an opinion having been rem dered by the attorney general to the eff feet that the appointment of Graves by Governor Conner was null and void.
 General Graves then filed quo warranto proceedings to oust General Clark from office The case came up before Judge w. w. Pearson of the Montgomery circuit court, and was decided in favor of Graves, the lower court holding that the constitu- tional and statutory provision created the office to be apportioned into successive terms of four years each, and that inas- much as General Clark had first been ap- pointed brigadier general in December, 1S9s all subsequent terms were completed from that fixed date. According to Judge Pearson's opinion, the term of office of

 MT Tillman declared that he did not believe there had been any intentional discrimination against Jefferson county on the part of the governor and the tax commission, but said he did think there had been discrimination with ref erence to a great deal of the property in his county.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN
 FAVOR OF GENERAL CLARK

General Graves would have expired in December of the present year.
 General Clark had been formerly ap- pointed by Governor Conner on February 2S, 1907. but it had been specified that his appointment was for a term beginning on April r, 1905. and ending April 16. 1909.
 According to the supreme court the chief question at issue was whether Clark's appointment had been for a period of four years beginning in April, 1905. and ending In April, 1909. or whether Governor Corners appointment in February, 1907, initiated a new term of four years, running from February, 1907, to February 2s, 1911. If the for mer were correct, the office of brigadier general was vacant on January 10, 1911, at which time General Graves was ap- pointed, and he was entitled to hold of fee; otherwise General Clark was the lawful appointee.
 The supreme court held to the latter theory and decided that Conner had appointed General Graves without au- thority of law. The opinion in the case was written by Judge Somer- vile, and was concurred in by all the justices of the court.
 Other decisions handed down by the su- preme court are as follows:
 Dowdel. c. J.-Ex parte Charley New. petition for mandamus; petition denied.
