GOVERNOR O'NEAL is TOLD
HE HASN'T THE POWER
Only Legislature Can Author.
ize Filling Senate Vacancy

i Washington, D. c., Aug. 12.-Tele'
grams were sent last night to demc-
cratic leaders in Alabama by Sena-
tor Overman, acting chairman of the
senate judiciary committee, advising
them that Gov. O'Neal, in the opinion
of the democratic lawyers of the SEN
ate has no power now to appoint a
successor to the late Senator Jos. F.
Johnston.
The message added that a majority
of the lawyer-senators held the gov
ernor could call a special election at
once, but qualified this by adding that
there was much difference of opinio l
as to whether it was necessary to can
the legislature into session to author
ize a special election.
Gov. ONeal, Senator Bankhead and
others had asked for an opinion from
the judiciary committee as to the
quickest way of filling the vacancy IN
der the terms of the recent constitu-
tional amendment, providing for The
direct election of senators.
Governor Lacks Power.
The question was discussed at full
meeting of the judiciary committee.
Later the democratic members con
suited with every lawyer among the
democratic senators. 1t was stated
after the meeting that the unanimous
opinion was the governor had no pow
er to fill the vacancy until the legis.
lature met and authorized him to do
so.
Some of the senators view the days
discussion as indicative of delay in
filling the seat. They argued that il
could consume much time for the
holding of as pecial session, should
Gov O'Neal decide upon that course,
and said the selection of senator
by special election without a meet
ing of the legislature might result in
a contest and delay in seating the
senator.
1t was suggested that an attempt be
made to enter into pair agreemen'
with the republicans in case of the
death of another senator during the
session. Republican senators approach
ed on the subject, however, did not
give the idea their approval.

Atlanta, August 12.-The cabbage
that Mary Phagan ate for dinner OF
the day she was murdered has com
to be a bone of contention among the
physicians who have testified for the
prosecution and defense in the trial
of Leo NJ. Frank;
Hugh Dorsey the solicitor general
is exercising all his efforts now to
trip up the experts brought forward
by the state to belittle the testimony
of DR. Roy Harris, of the state board
of health, who testified that the girl
must have been killed within an hour
after she had eaten the cabbage.
The first man he tripped up was
Professor George Bachman, head OF
the physiological department of the
college of Physicians and Surgeons.
DR.. Bachman said that it would have
been impossible for DR.. Harris to be
scientifically sure of what he had tes-
titled to.

word 'amidulin inquired the solicitor,
as used In the description of starch
in it's various processes of digestion? p
Il never heard of such word" the
professor replied. land it isn't in the
