THE SITUATION GROWS
OUT OF COMPLAINT BY
CORPORATION LAWYER
Auditor Brooks Smith. Acting, on
Brickell's Advice, Refuses to
Order Warrant in Payment
of Voucher-Case May
Go to Supreme Court
BY L. $. BETTY

Montgomery, October 25.-(Spe-
cial. .)-Judge CASTOR Gunter of the
city court of Montgomery this after
noon issued an order to c. Brooks
Smith. state auditor, directing him
to appear before him on Saturday,
October 81, and show cause why a
writ of pre-emptory mandamus should
not be issued, ordering him to draw a
warrant on the state treasurer in pay
ment of voucher for $125 in favor
of Daniel w. Troy, special counsel for
the state, TO collect penalties incurred
by foreign corporations through vio-
lations of the foreign corporation
laws.
The action of the court followed a
petition of Mr.. Troy for a writ of
mandamus directing Auditor C.
Brooks Smith to honor voucher, ap-
proved by the governor, for fee of
SIPS as compensation for the collec-
ton of $500 from the Illinois Central
Railroad company for violation of the
state foreign corporation laws. Upon
the solution of the case depends the
constitutionality of the employment
of all special counsel during the pres
ent administration and involves the
legality of approximately $4,000 for
special counsel fees. The case will in
all probability go to the supreme
court. and win create greater inter
est among the lawyers of the ssate
than any litigation that has come be-
fore that tribunal in a number of
years.

EMPLOYMENT or
COUNSEL INVOLVED

In snort. the case Involves the oonsti-
tntionality of the employment of spe-
cial counsel by the governor and is In
stituted as n test ease Should the
courts decide that Mr.. Troy Is not en-
tiled TO his fee, the various special coun-
sci who have been employed by the gov
ernor during his administration will be
liable to the state FOR the money they
have drawn from the treasury, aggre-
eating something like $4,000 Mr.. Troy
will be liable to the amount OF nearly
$4,000, although he has turned into the
treasury approximately $4,000, which
might have escaped without his serv-
ices.
The case has been instituted for the
purpose of testing the constitutionality
of section sol of the code, as amended
by the last legislature. Under the pro-
visions of the amendment. the gov
ernor is sauthorized to employ special
counsel, but the question Is raised that
the caption TO the bill amending the act
does not contain matter german to
the substance Of the bill in violation of
the constitution.
This is the question which the courts
will have to decide and upon the final
determination of the case depends the
legality of the payment of nearly 100000
in special counsel fees during the pres
ent administration
