 Montgomery, september z0.-(Spe- cial.)-The conference committee of the house and senate agreed this aft ernoon on the jury commission bills thus i.suring its passage Saturday. As a result of the agreement juries in the future will be selected by the sher- lffs, the probate judges and the clerks of the circuit courts.
 The cause of the disagreement which made the appointment of the conference commfttee necessary was the apparent determination of certain members to give the power of jury selection to the boards of revenue or commissioners courts.
 Al . result of the agreement which is tantamount to a settlement, one of the remaining problems in the solution of which members differed Is eliminated.
 While the final day of the session will be highly interesting and featured by the passage or death of various impor- tant bills. it is reasonably certain that the spectacular will be a missing ele- ment.
 REDISTRICTING BILL
 COMES UP EARLY
 Early Saturday morning the house will consider the ee-Brindley redistricting hill so ardentfy espoused and so ardently opposed. On the passage of this meas IIre, the situation depends. For. if it is defeated, the congressional districts. un- kil the next regular session of the leg slature. will remain as they are pres-, snffy constituted.
 The second order of business in the house will be the Birmingham condem- nation bill, on which the Jefferson coun- ty delegation is not agreed. The bin would give Birmingham. in 1921, the r.gnt to condemn for acquisition by purchase the property of the Birmingham Water works company. Despite the opposition bf Representatives Weakley and Scott, the opinion prevails that the biil will garry. Another Birmingham bill on the calendar and which will probably be enacted into law Is the so-called S6O,0O0 bill. under the provisions of which Jeff ferson county will pay to the city in each of two succeeding years the sum bf $60,0Oo
 INSURANCE MEASURE
 COMING UP IN SENATE
 In the upper house, one of tho first bpecial orders to be considered will be he insurance bill, that which would ere hte new department of state. The bill, which has already passed the house. will have difficulty, it is believed. in, getting through the senate. 10 prevent the con- sideration of this measure last night clever filibuster was successfully gener- hted by Senators Judge, WinlSler. Hill bnd others, and it is understood that n their efforts to prevent it's passage Sat lrday, the contention will be made that he measure was reported by petition pk the individual members of the com hhttee to which 1t was referred, and has not. in consequence, been consid- efed by the committee in session as the constitution requires.
 The senate will be concerned with the Amendments added to the Denson public utility commission bill, which passed the lower body Wednesday. The amend knents make 1t necessary for the com mission to give notice of contemplated hction, and to hear and settle disputes hot in Montgomery but, in the munich palities effected. It is reported that the bill as amended Is not satisfactory to the governor, and that the senate will not concur with the house. It is believed |lhat this action would cause the house ko, ,recede from its amendments. and en- a& the bill as It's friends desired in she beginning. TAKE UP SUBSTITUTE
 FOR LOAN SHARK BILL
 The senate. too. will consider the sub btitute for the Shapiro loan shark bill. The substitute. as has been pointed out, denies any institution the right to lend money at interest in excess of per and utnJo ffopu xvf1l rne1If in fhol
