Montgomery. November 7-tspecial.) ] Alabama made last year from the hire of state convicts the round sum of ssle,- 5Se. 4s. For the past four years. extend ing from October 1, 1910, to September 3t. 1914, the state made from convict hire q. .4s1, 900. s1. an average net earning per apnum of ss7e,3 g.
 l. The receipts of the convict department for the past fiscal year from the em- ployment of convicts and other sources were $1,1s2, 4e3.1s, the largest in the his tcry of the state, and were ss4.79o in ex- cess of the receipts of the previous year. in addition to the cash receipts to the state. the department's assets in cotton and cotton goods and in accounts due the cotton mill and by contractors on September 30 last, amounted to s1565SS 4S, making a total in receipts and assets for the fiscal year of s1,s19.oS577.
 Disbursements for Fiscal Year The actual disbursements of the con- vict department for the past fiscal year were ss45,90 .75, which was paid out for maintenance, expenses of the department, salaries cost bills. and for other pur- poses. But the disbursements included s31 ,19s. s2, which was paid out for somt Oakley lands. the Speigner dam and for the Lacy defalcations. Deducting this latter amount from the actual disburse- ments for maintenance, the expenses of the department are brought down to $slS,- 71513 If this amount be deducted from $, ,319, ,OS5 IT, the total in receipts and assets it is shown that the actual net profits end assets for 1914 were s505,372 64
 The receipts of the convict department last year from convict labor were the largest in it's history, being, as above stated. nearly s1oo0V in excess of the receipts of the previous year, when the state received from the labor of con- victs $1, OCT 773.1S. For the year 1912 the receipts of the department were more than 5000 in excess of 1913, being sl,073 29e l6. The receipts for 1911 were $l.0S5. s54 %. the largest up to that year in the history ofthe department.
 The total receipts therefore, for the four years of the present administra- ton were 5l3S9. 72, which amount does not include the round sum of slli .sa2. q. which the state lost through the defal- cations of Theo Lacy, a former chief clerk of the department. 44f
 A comparison of the receipts of the convict department for the past four years with the four years of the pre- vious administration shows considerable excess in favor of the present regime.

ASK STATE OFFICIALS ID HELP STAMP OUT
 THE CATTLE DISEASES

Washington. November 7.--Officials of the bureau of animal industry to- day listed the cooperation of state officials in the fight to stamp out the epidemic of foot and mouth disease which has resulted in cattle quaran- tine covering 10 states. With strict maintenance of the quarantine. immed- fate destruction of all infected herds and close inspection of all suspected centers, the bureau believes 1t now has the situation under control
 Practically every shipment of cat- tie, which passed through the Chicago stock yards during tue past 50 days Is being traced by inspectors and in- fccted herds are being destroyed.
 State officials in the states affected by the federal quarantine have joined the federal agents in the fight to erad- icate the disease. Under the plans of the department state officials will es- tablish local quarantines in states now cut off from interstate shipment in order to localize the infected terri tory as narrowly as possible Then both state and federal officials will CO., operate in destroying infected cat f Itle.s
 Despite the wide area affected by the federal quarantine which closed the principal cattle markets of the country no immediate effect on meat prices tiful supply of dressed meat and of cattle outside of the quantined states

Montgomery. November 7.--tspecisl.) All prospects for an extra session of the legislature to relieve the cotton situation in the state were dissipated today by the governor of Alabama in a statement in which he outlined the views of 10S mem bers-elect of the next legislature relative to the enactment of laws dealing with the situation.
 Only 27 members of the next legislature advocated the calling of special session to consider the cotton problem; only 3l members expressed approval of the I,anlS- head plan for the issuance of bonds; only 3l members favored the reduction of cot ton acreage, and only four members of the next legislature favored the prohibi- tion of cotton planting. Moreover. only six members stated to the governor that they had any plans of relief.
 for the purpose of giving publicity to the views Of the members-elect of the next legislature The letters were written to him in reply to his communication sent out about two weeks ago. in which he asked their views on the question of call ing a special session.

self" said the governor. His statement in part follows:
 From these replies it appears that 27 of the members-e of the legislature favor calling the legislature in extraordi- nary session and that 4S are opposed to any extraordinary session Thirty-two members decline to express themselves either way.
 ''1hirty-one of the members-elect ex- press themselves as favoring bond issue along the lines suggested by Senator Bankhead; 4S members-e elect express them- selves as opposed to any bond issue of any kind or character and i2 members decline to express any opinion. ''Thirty-one mem- bers of the next legislature favor the re- duction of acreage, while B are uncondi- tionally opposed to any legislation of that character.
 There were only four members-o -olect Of the legislature that favored the prohibit ton by legislation of the planting of cot ton In 1915 and 6S expressed themselves as opposed to such prohibition.
 Delay Payment of Debts
 "Only six members state that they have any plans of relief through legisla tive aid and out of these six, five advocate the passage of laws staying the collection Of debts.
 Tt is evident, therefore from these re- plies that 1t would be useless to call tn . legislature together in extraordinary ses- sion with the hope that any practical or feasible plan for relief would follow.
 ''The letters from the legislature are on file in my office and are subject to in- spection by any interested party"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-08

The large majority of the cases de- cided by the court was Of minor inn portance, only a few decisions being of general interest throughout the state.
 Probably the most important de- cision put out by the court was in the case of the county of Montgomery against the city of Montgomery, growing out of action brought by the city against the county to recover $30,000 as the city's asserted portion of funds collected by the county au- thority and directed by that authority to be devoted to improvement of pub lie roads and bridges within the county limits. The court decided the case against the county, rendering a judg- ment in favor of the city. On appeal, the supreme court reversed the lower tribunal and rendered & decision against the city.
 Issues Involved
 The controversy between the city and county began early in 1912, when the board of revenue of the county trans ferred to the road and. bridge fund the sum of $S5,000 collected under the gen. eral levy. The city contended that 1t became the duty of the board of rev eQue to fn ba oit funds one-half of the proportion of such money as was collected on prop erty located in the corporate limits of the city. The county refused to pay over this money to the city and action was brought
 The court held that in the absence of local law requiring the county to transfer certain portion of this money to the city that the former could not be compelled to make payment. The decision of thf court will probably af- feet a large m mber of other counties of the state, particularly those counties that have not local laws governing the disposition of such funds.
 Expenses of Staff Illegal The supreme court decided that the governor of Alabama was not author ized to approve expense accounts of members of his personal stan in behalf of the trip to Washington to participate in the inauguration of President Will son. The, courts decision was put out in the case of L. s. Betty against the state. which was appealed from the Montgomery city court. The action in the case was brought by Auditor Brooks Smith to recover from the de- fendant the money which he received from the state in payment of his ex- penses to the inaugural ceremonies The lower court decided in favor of the state. This particular case was made a test case for the entire staff.
 The court affirmed the judgment of the Birmingham city court in awarding $5l33 8; to B. B. Conner as damages for the pub lication by B. M. Starks, an official of
