RiSSell Hears Two Cases

On behalf of the lumber shippers two cases of alleged overcharges on lum- Der shipments were presented to EA- aminer Louis G. Bissell of the inter- state commerce commission at the hearing held yesterday at the federal courtroom. T. J. Slater manager of the freight bureau of the Merchants and Manufacturers association pre- sented the cases which were based on shipments made by the Oden- Elliot Lumber company. In the first case the charge was based on an alleged viola tion of the long and short haul' clause of the interstate commerce act by the Louisville and Nashville Rail- read company and the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic company. re- fund was asked in this case. In the other case discriminatory rates were alleged as to terminal switchings.

general manager of the company, was on hand and succeeded in making the whole crowd feel at home In speaking of the pool he said:
 This pool will undoubtedly be of great benefit to all the employees of our com pany. It is a great pleasure that we are able to provide the means for the men to enjoy themselves and at the same time promote q feeling of friendship and good fellowship between them and their employers. The trend of the times points to the betterment of the living condi- tions of worlSingmen of the greater cor porations. This pool will be a means of bringing the men together from time to time, and 1 am sure they will all appre- ciate it.
 Employees Are Entertained
 The employees of the various depart ments of the company were rendered a watermelon cutting by J. r. H. De Windt, general manager of the company, last night at o'clock, at the pool.
 The men were enthusiastic over the swimming pool and many words of praise were bestowed up MT. De Windt. After they had eaten the watermelons, all went into the pool for a swim
 The following men from the various departments were chosen to visit The Age-Herald and publicly extend their thanks to MT. De Windt Tor ms interest in the employees of the company

1 adheres to the same beliefs is Senator John Lusk of Marshall a strong antag- onst of the governor on the subject of the bond issue but, nevertheless, his friend with regard to the exercise of his appointive power.
 Hence. as will be seen. the prohibitions ists cannot present an unbroken line on probably the most important matter to come up for the consideration of the leg islature at this session. On other ques- tions also there will be an absence of solidarity in the prohibition ranks The
 attempted reorganization of the state
 medical association will furnish another example.
 But outside of the fight on the rev enue bill the governors bond issue meas ure will offer grounds for the greatest clash that the legislature will feature at
 this session. AS is well known, this measure has already passed the house and was up for passage in the senate when the legislature adjourned for the split session. Whether or not the bond issue has gained any friends in that body since that time is not known, though it is quite probable that q vote or two has been lost At any rate there is no way of speculating as to the outcome of this fight. So far as can be ascer-
 
 success.
 To Renew Fight on Wallace
 Indications are that certain members of the legislature will renew their fight for the abolition of the department of game and fish and while the friends of the department believe the contest will be lost there is likely to be a more spir- ited clash on this department than at the last session.
 pffnrtS will bp dp
 to abolish the prison inspection depart ment though 1t is known that many of the members have receded from their former position with reference to the bolition of this office. The investigat- ing committee, according to reports, will recommend that this department be con soidated with the highway and convict departments Should this recommenda-
 ton fail to receive legislative approval then there is a possibility that the de- partment may be retained, with the en- actment of laws probably providing re- organization and other changes. The legislat ature is pretty certain to en- act some laws with reference to the con4 vict lease system. There is a strong sentiment against the working of con victs in the mines and at lumber camps and there Is every likelihood that leg islation will be sought seeking to place
 convicts on the roads. And with every indication of success.
 But it is not believed that the legis-
 lature will do anything of a radical na- ture no matter Show strong may be the attempts in this direction. As indicated 1 above there is not the unanimity of sentimet in the prohibition ranks which formerly obtained, nor are there so many radicals. The members of the majority are more even tempered They are not so docile as they were at the last ses- l 1,f kNf with decided views on most of the sub iects to be considered at this term.

THE LAMENT OF MISS FANCY
By CHARLES H. HANDY

For as long back as the ages go my ancestors have been used by man in war and peace and in the arts and ! sciences l flatter myself that l could have made myself useful to the city in hundred ways. They evidently overlook the fact that I have a strong pull and as l understand it, that's what you need to get along these days. I could pull anything from a fire engine to a street sprinkler, and"
 Here the monk reminded Miss Fancy that the dust devil was to be given full sway, as sprinkling the streets was to be cut out
 That's all right; there are other things besides street sprinklers I could pull. once pulled fellows legs when I was with the circus But that's another story Speaking of cireuses, that reminds me that | cannot look forward to be taken back to the scene of my former triumphs Although l confess l have sometimes a Yearning to return to the sawdust ring for the show is in the hands of re- ceiver and locked up pending the orders of the court, and there's little choice between a busted city and a bankrupt circus.
 "I suppose l will have to make the best of it. but I do believe if the city had given me the chance I could have earned the $1O worth of hay and $S worth of oats that has constituted my monthly diet since my arrival here.'
 The monk, regardless of the future that awaited him, offered his condolences to Miss Fancy. and reminded her that Bal zac said there is always a way out"
 'I hate to differ with authority like Balzac. but I would like to know a way out of sunken submarine with it's ma chinery busted" It was evident that she looked into the future with gloomy fore bodings for as she waddled to her quar- ters she was heard to murmur:
 "Alone, all alone in this world I roam,
 Looking for shelter and bread.
 And though the nights are cold and the
 wind blows keen,
 I have no place to lay my head'

Prohibition Faction No Longer Smoothly Working We'll Oiled Machine -Weakley Revenue Bill Likely to Provoke
 Rucus-Other Important Issues
By L. s. BETTY

Montgomery July F. tspecial)-Th legislature has returned to Montgomery, and for the next five or six weeks the legislative halls will resound with the forensic display of fervent orators, the monotonous tone of reading clerks and the ceaseless din and chatter of patient and tireless lobhies.
 The legislature has returned, but with different purpose from tliat which aetu- ated the majority of the lawmakers when the state body assembled in Montgom- cry last January Prohibition. for the present. is a thing of the past; hence, no new legislation will be attempted in that direction. That was the chief ob- ject to he obtained in January, and the prohibitionists were united on the sub ject. In fact, they were bound hand and foot on practically every question that the leaders of that faction advo- cated Had the legislature remained in session, probably they might have main tained an unbroken front during the en- tire legislative period.
 But now things are different There is not that unanimity of sentiment in the
 
 Certain of the leaders have split on some of the most important questions to come before the legislature at this term.
 The Weakley revenue bill will offer one of the casus bell It is pretty generally agreed that certain features of the bill are admirable particularly that part pro- viding new equalization methods. But there is much disagreement concerning the plan to dispose of the tax commis- sion.
 Will Not Take Appointments
 The Wealley bill provides for the ap- pontment of commission by the legis- lataure, thus curtailing a time honored custom and prerogative enjoyed by the governor. On this point the legislative majority does not present solid front. W. c. Davis, chairman of the recess com mittee on the judiciary and probably the strongest man in the house, is opposed to taking this power out of the governor s hands. formidable senaae leader who

 There was some expression regard- ing the reports of the three recess com mittees the opinion being that these reports should receive careful con- sideration But it was understood that the members should act as free agents In the matter of accepting these in- portant documents
 The caucus was of nearly three hours duration and, although the meet ing was executive, those present free ly discussed all that transpred.

JOHN R. LAWSON
 DENIED NEW TRIAL
6Continued from Page One)


 Rockefelers, who have engineered these prosecutions yourself a coal company attorney; you were so prejudiced against me that my case in this court was a travesty on justice Today the supreme court of Colorado in Denver is reviewing your conduct.''
 Lawson charged that he had been "the victim of a hand picked jury" and with lips that trembled, concluded:
 "Solemnly facing iron bars and prison walls, l assert my love for justice and my faith in it's ultimate triumph. not a justice of theory but of reality extend- ing to men, women and children whose proper equality of opportunity it en- braces"
 F. w. Clark, the attorney representing Lawson, was granted 60 days to file bill of exceptions and 30 days stay of execu- ton Counsel also asked that pending action on the appeal by the supreme court the convicted man be allowed bond This, the court said, could not be granted and the labor leader was taken to jail.
 Was Convicted May 3
 Lawson was convicted May 8, of first degree murder for the killing of John Nimmo. deputy sheriff, on October 25, 1915 Nimmo fell during a fight between strikers and mine guards and deputies. The prosecution charged that the strikers were in personal command of Lawson.
 When the motion for a new trial was argued last week. affidavits were sub mitted, one of which, sworn to by Grover I1all juror charged that undue con- duct on the part of the court baiiff influenced him to decide against the de- fendant. Evidence also was a hand, ac- oording to attorneys for the defendant. that would establish Nimmo was shot by deputies and not by striking miners.
