.BR|ND[EY EXPECTS
AN EXTRA SESSION
Says Some Action for Relief
of Treasury Seems
Necessary

A r. Brindley, member of the legisla-
ture from Etowah, and I'D D. Hammer,
former senator from that county. were
among the visitors to Birmingham yestor-
day.
Mr. Brindley was chairman OF the ways
and means committee which produced the
state revenue bill, against which there
have been registered so many complaints.
Mr.. Brindley expects an extraordinary
session of the legislature. and states that
Ii would have been called before this date
but for the action OF the First National
bank of Birmingham in agreeing to fur
nish the money for continued operation of
the government.
I'm view of the fact however, he said,
that the old soldiers have not been paid
the money appropriated for the fairs has
not been forthcoming, and other obllga-
lions have not been met some action for
relief seems to be necessary. l expect
an extraordinary session of the legislature
but do not know what the attitude is of
those gentlemen who. It is understood, are
furnishing the state with money.
1.-The legislature. IL it is called together,
can save the state money by abolishing
some unnecessary offices"
Mr. Brindley is one OF several members
of the Legislature who believes the newly
created appellate court unnecessary.

A COATLESS COURT
by CHARLES II. MANDY

When Judge Hugo L. Black entered the
dmgy, dank, dark and dirty back room
In the city hall that is mistermed a
courtroom, yesterday morning, where not
only the unfortunates yanked before the
bar of justice sweat and suffer. but the
court attaches as well. and glanced at the
blackboard which set out the days dock
ct, he almost collapsed.
The judge has not quite rested up from
his recent vacation, and the 100 names
that stood out on the board looked like
a thousand to him in his weakened con-
dition. The courtroom was packed and
jammed with the Officers, lawyers, and
witnesses in the cases. while an odor
thai was enough to start the bubonie
plague pervaded the sitting atmosphere.
The Judge, however, went at his task
boldly. and us he mounted the rostrnm
shed his coat, rolled up his sleeves and
spit on his hands. Everybody be seated =
said his honor" and those who can't find
seats stand back from the rail-"
Everybody be seated" echoed Officer
Todd. who was officiating at the desk
usually presided over by Clerk Bill, who
Is indisposed. This was repeated by offi-
Ger Taylor. who was assisting In the
workings of the court. The stevedore re-
peated the order. Then in a voice that
fairly shook the building Officer Stur-
CESS yelled, you must be seated" and

Gaping from under his feet. Down the
sidewalk he dashed at a terrific speed.
pedestrians running right and left to
escape his flying hoofs. For three
blocks the horse kept to the walk.
down past the woodward building and
toward the Morris hotel. At the cor
ner of Nineteenth street OFFICER Pitt
man had drawn his gun and stood in
front of crowd of people who were
waiting for the South Ensley car.
1t was his intention to shoot the
horse should he come straight on to-
ward the crowd. This precaution was
unnecessary, for in front of the Mecca
saloon, frightened by an electric sign,
the animal swerved aside, dashing
against a telephone pole. He lay on
the sidewalk for some minutes, blood
pouring from his mouth and nose and
from a severe cut on his side where he
had collided with the post, but after
some prodding by the officers foot,
staggered to his feet, perfectly con-
tenr to be led back to his master.
