HIGHER COURTS ID LET MEMBERS 60 HOME ID VOTE Supreme Court Will Call Docket May 10 and the
 Court of Appeals
 on May II

Montgomery, April 24.-(Special. )-Ow- ing to the fact that the primary election falls on Tuesday, May g, the supreme court and the court of appeals have de- termined not to call cases on the third division dockets on that day. The su- preme court will call the docket on Wednesday, May 10, and the court of ap- peals will call the docket on Thursday, May H., running the civil and criminal dockets together.
 Action of the two courts in postpon- ing the call of the division dockets was taken in order to allow the judges of the two courts to go home to vote. Most of the members of the two tribunals live outside of Montgomery.

 Judge John c. Anderson, chief jus tce Of the supreme court, has opposition in the person of James A. Mitchell of Birmingham, while the other judges of that court. who are candidates for re- election, Judges Ormond Somerville and Lucien T. Garner, have no opposition.
 Two judges of the court of appeals have opposition. though no fight has been ms de against either of them. The judges on that court who desire to suc- ceed themselves are Judge John Pelham, parsiding judge. and Judge J. B. Brown. Other candidates seeking places on the court are Gen. Charles c. Bricken of Luverne. Thomas E. Knight of Greens boro, Chancellor w. w. Whiteside of Anniston and J. M Bonner of Camden.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

The most pretentious feature of the bill for the first half of this week at the Lyric theatre is "The Luck of a Totem," presented by Harry Girard and company. A totem pole song provides a unique and effective opening num- per, with members of the company act ing as animated totems. A velvet cur tain afforded a rich background of color enlivened by the grotesuue fig ure of the singers. The piece combines lurid melodrama with a love story of the far north There are a number of interpollated songs. The prima donna Fhas voice of rare sweetness and the men acquitted themselves well, with Mir Girard singing tJe leading role
 Jack and Kitty Demaco gave per- formance on flying rings styled ''The Garden of Recreation" They showed skill and cieverness and used an at tractive stage setting which lent an air of novelty to their exhibition.
 Parillo and Frabito received a real ovation. They sang several songs which were encored and one member of the team played the accordion well. Their offering is one of the best of it's Kind that has been to the Lyric in some time.

 Messrs. Hamilton and Jackson testified on behalf of the organizations in the intermountain territory, virtually the entire strip of the United States extend- ing from line drawn north and south through Denver to the Pacific coast who seek to prove that there is no longer reason for permitting the railroads to charge less for shipments from eastern manufacturing and industrial centers to Pacific ports than intermediate points Three things, the witnesses said, had i'm pelled them to discontinue the coa ast to- coast operation of their vessels-the clos. ing last September of the canal by slides, the much greater revenue to be obtained by placing their vessels in for eign trade, and the prevailing low rates by rail.
 We chartered three of our vessels the other day to the United States Steel corporation for a year." MT. Jackson said ''at much higher figures than we had ever obtained by operating them"
 Of the Luckenbach steamers, none have been in the service for two months, MT Hamilton said, with the exception oi one or two which sailed to carry freight already contracted for. No other sailings were scheduled on this line and the wit ness thought that for at least two years the only steamship traffic, so far as freight carriers was concerned from coast to coast via the canal. would be by tramp steamers whose movements went by no schedule.
 MT. Jackson probably will be the last witness He will continue tomorrow and at the conclusion of the hearing counsel

eral enactment permitting women to appear before the United States
upreme court, where she "a the first woman to plead. takes her stand
upon the achievements of President Wilson.
controlling a country with mental and moral power takes greater
heroism than the control o vast army for the shooting down of thous-
ands of men, DR. Lockwood wrote. ITO save a great nation, prosperous
happy and wealthy. in a mental and moral battle, requires greater
strength and higher courage than shooting men requires. Woodrow
Wilson has proved his courage.

WHY NOT BE HONEST?

Miss Alice IIcnkle in speaking for the Womans party in Reno Mon
day evening, emphasized the nOnlpartsan policy OF the party and pointed
out that the campaign is being conducted fer a principle and not for
candidates.
If Miss Fenklc and her running mates desire to conduct a campaign
for o principle why do they not throw their supposed influence to the
Prohibition and Socialist parties-parties that have always advocated
woman suffrage-nstead Of throwing it to the Republican party whose
leaders have always opposed it and are still opposing it?
