'BR|ND[EY'S VIEWS
 |ND0RSED BY FOUR
Prohibition Members of Jef- ferson County Delegation
 Much Pleased

ihe four prohibition members of the Jefferson county delegation to the leg isiature were delighted with the ex- pressions of A. R. Brindley of Gadsden, which appeared in The Age Herald MT. Brindley in speaking of the governors reported intention to call the legisla ture in extraordinary session late in November declared that he would not only decline to aid in withholding a prohibition fight. but that he would take the lead in precipitating the fight.
 The four prohibitionists on the Jef- ferson delegation were quoted as fol- lows yesterday;
 N. w. Scott 50 far as | am con- cerned have not made or do not in tend to enter into any agreement to subordinate any important question in order that Governor ONeal may put through the legislature measures that he considers of prime importance. might and do differ with the governor as to the relative importance of public questions. l would favor the imme- diate consideration and the passage of a prohibition bill at the very outset of the legislative session, whether it be an extra or a regular session" D. Rivers Copeland. The statement of Mir. Brindley has my hearty ap- proyal. He expresses my views exactly with reference to the questions that should be considered by the extra ses- sion of the legislature. Why the need for special session of the legislature just month prior to the calling of a regular session? There seems to be something more significant in the movement than the so-called judicial reform. Why don't the ones behind the extra session movement be frank with us?"
 pr. Felix l Tarrant; In the event Governor oNeal calls the new legis- lature in extra session I believe that during the first days we should dis pose of the prohibition question by passing it right up to Governor O'Neal for his consideration. MT Brindley's statement expresses my at |titude on the subject of the extra ses- sion of the legislature"
 ". s. Welch By all means the Legislature during the first five days of the extra session of the legisla- ture, provided Governor oiNeal calls one, should pass prohibition bill and hand it right up to the gov ernor We should serve the meal while it is hot so 1t may prove pa1at- able as possible to the governor. Ii appears from the declaration of faith by MT. Brindley that we are going to have a fighting force sufficient to please the most militant.

CHAMPION COULON
HAS WRONG DOPE
Suggests Match Between Tier

Island Pug.

Peoria. Ill. Jan. 13.-According TO
Frank Carr. manager of Billy Tierney,
Champion Johnny Coulon has the
wrong dope when he proposes a con-
test between Tierney and Peanuts
Schieberl with a match with the
champion as an added incentive to
their work. Carr declares that il
would be folly for Tierney to box the
Rock Island youngster. who is now
weighing in the neighborhood of 1872
pounds and insists that the weight be
at that figure at three o'clock on the
day OF the bout. This would bring
him into the ring close to 126 pounds.
at least ten pounds more than Tier
ney.
Carr states that Tierney can make
116 pounds ringside and be at his best
and will not consider Schieberl unless
he will get down into the bantam
weight class.
Both Carr and Tierney are willing
to meet Coulon at his own terms and
at any time. but so far as the elimina-
ton bout between the Rock Island
boy and the local lad is concerned
