DUBLIN, May 23-The third cat tie drive within a month took place last Sunday from farm named Skehard, near Creggs, on the borders of the counties Roscommon and Gal way. The cattle belong to Canon Geraghty, the parish priest, and it is stated that the cause of the drive was the fact that he has not handed over the lands for distribution to the congested districts board, although he has expressed his willingness to do so.
 While mass was being celebrated, nearly 300 men and women armed with sticks entered the farm, and be- gan to drive off Canon Geraghty's cattle The farm has been under police protection since the last raid, conflict with the police. The police tried to prevent the drive, and, it is said fired their revolvers over the heads of the men and women The cattle were collected and driven in the direction of Glenamaddy. In a short time police endorsements ar rived from Creggs and policemen l who were attending mass were also called out. They overlook the cat
 tie drivers near Glenamaddy and or dered them to disperse. They re- 1 fused, and the police charged with their batons and scattered the crowd The cattle were then taken back tC Il Skehard where they remain under police protection.

STEINER NAMED ID. FILL THE UNIVERSITY. TRUSTEE VACANCY
Selection of Montgomery Man to Replace Late Paul Legrand Causes
 Little Surprise

Tuscaloosa, June 3.-(Special.) Mai R. E. Steiner of Montgomery was elected to fill the vacancy on the board of trus- teees of the University of Alabama from the Second district at the meeting of the board hero today. No election was made to fill the vacancy from the Fourth district, it being announced that tine members had not yet made up their minds as to this position. A called meeting will probably be held early in the fall, it Is stated, at which time the place will be filled.
 The election of Major Steiner to i'll the vacancy from the Second district caused by the death of M Paul Legrand caused little surprise. It has beeen un- derstood here for the past day or two that Dr. l.. l.. Hill of Montgomery, who was considered as the strongest oppo- nent of MT. Steiner, had requested that his name be not presented for the place
 Five men have been mentioned in con- nection with the vacancy from the Fourth district caused by the death of J. Hal Johnson, but 1t is generally be- lteved here that the position will go either to J. Kelly Dixon of Talladega or to Judge John Pelham Of Anniston, member of the court of appeals. It is rumored that MT. Dixon is the choice of a majority of the members Of the board at this time with Judge Pelham close second. Others mentioned for the place are Dr. Thomas w. Palmer president of the Alabama Girls Techni cal institute; Henry r. Reese of Selma and Col. Sam Will John of Dallas county. It Is reported that the gov ernor is strongly opposed to the elec- tion of MT. Dixon he being interested in securing the place for Judge Pelham The election to fill vacancies on tho board of trustees have to be ratified by the state senate, but it is thought that there will be no difficulty on this score.
 The report of President Denny was received and adopted by the unanimous vote of the trustees. The sessions of the board are executive and it was an nounced that in addition to these mat ters, only routine business was dis cussed. The meeting of the board was unusually short. All the members were present

GOVERNOR SAYS NO SIGNIFICANCE ID
 VISIT YESTERDAY
Executive Was Guest of MT. Harding En Route From Tuscaloosa to
 Capital

There is nothing significant in my visit''
 This was the statement of the governor when questioned shortly after his arrival yesterday afternoon. He had completed his visit to Tuscaloosa, where he en- joyed the exercises of the commence ment. He will leave this morning for Montgomery.
 When asked in regard to financial mat ters appertaining to the state and to the possibility of an extra session, the gov ernor was noneommittal.
 T have not yet given the matter of an extra session serious thought" he added. "I came to Birmingham to interview MT. Harding or rather to have talk with him prior to his departure for Washing ton. Therefore there IS no significance to be attached to my visit. Is is as near to Montgomery by way of Birmingham as 1t is by the through route to Tus- oaloosa, and the train service is better. There is no news"
 It is thought that the governor dis cussedk with MT. Harding the unsatis- factory financial condition of the state, and the need of an extra session. The First National bank, of which MT. Hard ing is president. has financed the state for the past several years, and in the statement of the bank, issued last Sun day, the declaration was made that in the opinion of financiers an extra session was imperative. It was also said that there is neither law by which nor money with which the state may pay the interest on it's indebtedness, and that bankers would no longer lend money to the state with the situating continuing as it is.
 None of these matters, however, were mentioned by the governor in his con versation with an Asse-Herald reporter. The governor was not on a secret mis- sion. but he was reticent. He declared that the commencement at Tuscaloosa had drawn the largests crowd in the his tory of the university, that the exer- eises were very enjoyable, and that the banquet of the alumni proved to be a delightful entertainment.
 The governor was entertained by MT. Harding at his residence.
