O'NEAL TO SELECT
ALABAMA'S SCION
GOVERNOR DECIDES HE HAS AS
MUCH POWER AS THE STATE
LEGISLATURE

Montgomery, Ala, Nov 14.-Shortly
after midnight this morning, Governor
C'Nea: snnounced that he had decided
not to call the Alabama legislature to-
gether in extraordinary session for
any purpose.
The senatorial situation, caused by
the death of Senator Joseph F. John
ston, lead some people to urge al
extra session, but the governor claim
ell that he has just as much author
:ty under the law to appoint as the
Legislature could give him, and he will
make an appointment in the very near
future.
The governors friends and advisers
are pointing to the non-action by the
senate on his appointment of Con-
gresham Clayton to succeed Senator
Johnston because he failed to call q
special election, and to the report ii
determination of the republican sena-
tors to fight the seating of Blair Lee,
in Maryland, because he was elected ut
a special election and not appointed,
or the election not authorized by a
special session.

PEAS ROLL OFF KNIFE
into ANOTHER MANS
COFFEE; DINERS Fight
BOTH ARRESTED AND FINED ONE
CENT EACH AFTER JUDGE Lee.
TURES THEM

Hammond, Ind, Nov. 14.-Jim Ste :
ems and George Pargins were dining
opposite each other in Hammond
restaurant. Jim was dining on peas.
There being no spoon at his plate, Jim
used his knife to transport the little
pellets to his mouth
Having steady hand and sure
eye, he got along fairly successful I'M,
til something attracted his attention.
AS he turned his head, several peas
rolled from the end of his knife and
splashed into Pargin's coffee.
You're a pig!" said the angry Par
gins.
"Retract them words" said Jim.
Retract them peas, returned Par
gins.
One word led to another and the
last one led to a fight. Jim, Pargins,
the peas and the coffee mixed in hi
larious row until a policeman came in
and arrested the first two. Each
charged the other with assault and
battery. Jim admitted Juggling the
peas with his knife, but told the
court that Pargins' manners were 40
better since he sounded like a suction
pump with leaky valves when he in
hailed his coffee.
Judge E. H. Ames fined each man
one cent and gave them scientific
lecture on the proper uses of knives
and the treacherous nature of peas.
