Would Call Special
Session Only in Case
Of Urgent Necessity

There are many rumors of action
to be taken on bills. Some are of the
opinion that the board of regents bill
will be attacked, others that the bill
effecting the asylum for the insane
and the penitentiary will be deferred
to the people, but up to the present
time there has been no definite action
taken on any of them.
One paper stated that Governor
Hanna had already written to the
members of the house and senate,
asking them about the advisability of
calling the legislature together but
that is mistake. what he did say be-
ing that in the event there appeared
to him to be necessity for such ac-
ton he would then ask the advice OF
the members before issuing the call.
The legislature of North Dakota has
only been called in extraordinary ses-
sion but once since the admission OF
the state to the union, that being dur
ing the administration Of Governor
Burke, the second governor OF the
state.

ANOTHER STEP TO
PROTECT THAW

New York March 1S.--Counsel for
Harry K. Thaw filed in the office of
the county clerk of an appeal from
the decision of Supreme Court JUS
tice Page refusing to grant a motion
to return Thaw to New Hampshire,
whence he was extradited, to stand
trial for conspiring to escape from
the state hospital for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan.
This notice of appeal, it was believ-
ed by Thaw's counsel automatically
would prevent their client being re-
turned to Matteawan until the ap-
pellate, division has reviewed the mo-
ton.
The notice of appeal, it was said.
was a precautionary measure designed
to keep Thaw out of Matteawan in
the event of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought in his behalf being
dismissed. Upon this writ Thaw will
be produced on Friday before the
supreme court justice who signed it.

UNCLE sam
PROTESTS
TO JAPAN


Washington, March 1S.--It was stat
ed officially at the White House today
that representations by the United
States concerning the latter's demands
on China, had been entirely independ-
ent OF any action by Great Britain,
Russia or other powers. Further than
this statement, officials in all quarters
preserve the strictest silence, regard
ing the situation is one of delicacy.
Last night a dispatch from Peking,
China, said Great Britain and Russia
had informed the Toxic foreign minis
ter that If Japan pressed the demands
on China other THANK those contained
in the original note to the powers,
Japan's allies would find it difficult to
deal with her dipIonatlcally in the
future. II is believed Japan will not
press the additional demands she is
reported to have made.

STEADY OPERATION AT.THE EENSLEY MILL
Present Schedule Will Be Continued Indefinitely
 It Is Thought

Great optimism prevails in Ensley as
 well as in Birmingham by reason of the
 uninterrupted operation at the steel plant
 division of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
 Railroad company. No formal statement
 has been made as to the extent of the
 operations. but it is reported upon good
 authority that the present schedule O.
 operations will be kept up indefinitely The company had already received some orders for this year, then came the Louis- vile and Nashville and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis orders, besides
 smaller orders from time to time until
 the bookings sat the plant are very con-
 siderable. The operations may be con- tinued without cessation through the re- mainder of the winter at least. In the meantime, the company expects addi- tional orders soon.
 It is stated officially that the American Steel and Wire company has not received nor does it expect to receive any orders for wire to be sent abroad On the other hand, it has been explained to inquirers that the Fairfield plant cannot make the wire needed, as it is a square wire with |very large barbs, and is made principally lat the company plant at Worcester, Mass. The Worcester plant, 1t is stated, is in receipt of an order of this nature for |export to one of the beligerent coun- |trieS.

PROHIBITION MEANS BIGGER POLICE FORCE Increase Would Be Neces- sary, Says Judge Lane CONDITIONS WORSE Situation Easier to Handle With LO- cal Option Than With Prohibition
 Says Head of the Police
 Department

If prohibition goes into effect through. out the state and Birmingham becomes a dry town. the police force of the city will have to be enlarged. Judge A. O. Lane, in answer to ques. tions put by an Age-Herald reporter yes. terday afternoon, stated that beyond 6 doubt such steps would have to be taker by the police department officials. oi which he is the commissioner in charge Commissioner Lane preferred not tc discuss the matter, but when the reporter insisted on an answer to his question he finally did so
 If statewide prohibition goes into ef- feet" the head of the police department was asked. twill or will not the Bir- mingham police department have to be increased in size in order to handle the changed condtions?'s
 T would prefer not to answer that question" stated the judge. 'Either way answered it would be attacked and probably feeling aroused which would in jure the city in securing legislation it desires in order to remedy it's financial trouble.''
 wen, II nave toa Sldte then, tnat you were asked the question and declined to answer no or yes?" replied the re- porter.
 'Tf you're going to do that said the judge, 'I see no reason why I should not answer it. Voluntarily, I would not make the statement, but you ask a question which in my official capacity am supposed to know something about and I might as well tell you what I do know about it.
 If prohibition goes into effect in Bir- mingham we will have to increase the police force. Conditions which the po- lice have to meet always in the past have been worse under prohibition than under local option, and 1 see no reason why it should be different now
 'I am speaking merely as a police official who views unbiased the duties he has to perform under any given cir cumstance. Without advocating either prohibition or local option, as police of ficial I know it always takes a larger force to handle conditions under a pro- hibition regime than under local option. Under prohibition the liquor sellers are scattered throughout the city, instead of being grouped; they become law viola tors instead of law abiding citizens, hence hiding out in hidden places and using every conceivable and ingenious means to guard off the police, the conditions resulting being that much harder for the police to keep in touch with and control.
 .'Of course to increase the police force will mean more money, and we haven't t got it, but we'll have to get it somewhere, that's all.''
