MANDAMUS SUITS
| AGAINST GOVERNOR
SET FOR HEARING
Legal Battle Between Attor-
ney General and Chief
Executive to Be De-
cided October %

Montgomery, October 23.-(Special.)
The three mandamus suits entered by
~. R. DAILY, Attorney General w. L.
General Perry w. Turner against Gov
ernor Henderson have been set down
for hearing in the circuit court Satur-
day, October %, by Judge Leon Mo
Cord. Judge McCord is holding court
this week in Autauga county, but has
made special arrangements to be in
Montgomery Saturday to hear the pro-
ceedings. all of which emanate from
differences of opinion held by the gov
ernor and the attorney generals de-
partment.
Daily is seeking to force the COVER
nor to, approve a certificate for some
thing over 800 for expenses incurred
in making certain Investigations in
Russell county for the attorney gener-
ais department Mr. Martin is trying
to force the executive to honor a pay
ment of $40 for expenses incurred by
him in attending a term of the Rus
sell circuit court during September;
Mr.. Turner would compel the G0Tt rnor
to approve his salary account Of $3.50
for the month of September The lat
torney generals" bill, passed by the
recent legislature and supposed to eX-
tend the powers of the attorney gen.
eral is at stake. The governor claims
the act is faulty because it makes no
definite appropriation. He also con-
tends that he cannot be a respondent
in mandamus suit; and also that he
may exercise discretion in making the
disbursements authorized by the at
torney generals bill.
All of the legal questions at issue
have been brought up in the series of
demurrers filed sometime ago by the
governors lawyers in the DAILY case.
If demurrers are entered in the two
succeeding cases they will be only
formal.
A final decision in the legal pro-
ceedings will settle controversy that
has been pending for several weeks
between the governor and the attor-
ney general. Considerable feeling has
been infused into the dispute and now
nothing short of a decree from the
bench. it appears. can possibly put an
end to the situation. 1t is generally
conceded that whatever may be the de-
cision of Judge McCord it will be in
terlocutory, as the cases will be car
ried to the supreme court for com
plete test of the attorney generals
bill. The Montgomery division will
not be called in the supreme court I'M
til December, but in highly important
matters the court frequently makes
such cases preferred and has them
submitted at the earliest possible time.
A formidable array of counsel will
appear at Saturdays hearing. The
governor will be represented by Ball
& Sanford and Rushton, Williams &
Crenshaw, while the petitioners will be
represented by the attorney general
and his three assistants
William H. Sanford, the governors
legal adviser, is in New York, but
has advised associate counsel that he
will reach Montgomery Friday night
to be present at the hearing.

course at Green Springs Is one of the
most progressive steps that has been
taken by The Age-Herald and the citi-
zenry of this city in years. There can
be no argument against the proposition.
Il possesses merit and merit is the thing
that counts in anything that is placed be-
fore the people To make Birmingham q

Of every man in this community. The

before it is completed.

course is completed. Il have been told
that golf was one of the finest things
in the world to promote health. I have
also heard that it is the best way to put
oneself in condition." ne said

NO DOCKET SET
In CRIMINAL COURT

Judge William e. Fort organized the
juries in the criminal court yesterday
morning, and soon after excused them for
the day, owing to the fact that no docket
had been set by the clerk of the Grim
inal court.
1t was stated that the fact that no
docket had been set was due to the ex-
pectation that there would be quite a
number of Jail cases ready for trial due
to the late indictments of the grand Jury.
However, II was 1ocularly averred that II
was Circus Day" and that the attaches
of the criminal courts wanted holiday

the slope of the mine, without knowing
whether they would return with life Or
with life extinct. Ten men were over

of rude brattices, made of canvas and
wood. Some, after lapsing back into con-
sciousnesS were seen re-entering the

ordered to stay out o> the mine by the
physician. A few minutes later DR..
Vance could not locate him. He was
again with the rescue crew.

NENV SHELLS GIVES
 RUSSIANS VICTORIES

LYNDON, June 21-The Morning Post, a Petrograd newspaper says the Austrian reverses have been due mainly, to the tremendous efficiency Of a new shell iuvent.d by the Rus sians.
 "The deadly results cf this new offensive weapon, which is pro duct of the cooperative work of the Russian universities, says the paper, "are seen in the official re ports. The new shell has been used in credible quantities. Of course, nothing can be said about the nature of the shell"
 A dispatch also says that much of the effectiveness of the Russian artillery is due to the use of big Ja- panese guns. These guns are said t. be more powerful than any that the Russians have had heretofor.
