TENNESSEE SOLONS
SCHEDULED TO GET
TOGETHER TUESDAY
Hooper's Strength Will Be
Measured and State Can
See Whether His Pres
tige Is Waning

Nashville, August 16-( Special 1.-THE
Tennessee General assembly that is
scheduled to meet Tuesday will meet,
If they assemble at ALL under an urgent
appeal of the democratic steering COM
mittee that has urged the reconvening so
that the appropriation bill may be passed
and prevent suffering in some of the
charitable institutions of the state.
With the fall months approaching and
some of the state institutions srbsist-
ing on half rations. the kuestion grows
serious with them when winter supplies
ooon have to be purchased and the avail
able means now being far less than the
required sums for the summer months.
The institutions mostly in need of aid
are the Tennessee Industrial school, the
schools for mutes, the Tennessee Blind
school and the Boys Reformatory. The
trustees of some of these have in recent
weeks called attention to the need of
money to take present care of the inmates
to say nothing of the added cost that will
come with the cooler days of the fall and
the cold of winter months.
Notwithstanding these appeals that have
come from trustees there is grave doubt
as to whether the prolonged session of
the Tennessee general assembly may be
gotten in working order at any time
soon and all of which is due to the in
tense feeling that exists over the fight
between the democrats and the fusionsts.
The democrats still maintain that they
are acting in the only legal way in hold
ing open the session that started first
in January and the fusion leaders claim
that nothing legal can be passed in the
way of an appropriation bill at the pro-
1onged session since a measure of that
kind failed, and added to the confusion
is the position of the republicans who do
not want the members assembled, as 1t
would destroy the chances of Governor
Hooper.
The governor wants this present session
ended SO that he can dictate what laws
are to be given consideration and he has
served notice that he will not back down
from his position that his law enforce
ment measures should be passed so that
he can compel prohibition in the cities of
Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and
Knoxville, the three first named of which
have never given any recognition to the
state wide prohibition law that became eff
fectve four years ago.
II Governor Hooper is still strong
enough with the independent democrats
he will prevent the meeting. The test
of his strength will be measured Tuesday
and it will then be seen just how much
he has lost of his prestige. since it is
said that Senator Lulxfle Lea has left
him.

Agatha groaned. ''Did-did the pa

contradicted that; he told them he
had heard from you, and that you
we're at the bedside OF dying Fela-

difficulty in getting up an elopement
story was the lack OF probable man.
Your manager and your accompanied

there wasn't anybody else in New

discretion, Miss Redmond. has always
