held through that indefinite period could be confiscated and destroyed A large amount of liquor consigned to persons in Mobile was seized from the steamship companys wharf and the Mobile city court held that this act was illegal.
 Referring to the right of common carrier to hold the liquor until deliv- cry and it's right to have on hand more than the law allows any indi- vidual, Justice Sayre said 'Tt can hardly be imagined that the legisla- ture, while permitting the importation of liquors to every adult citizen of the state in certain limited quantities, in- tended that carriers engaged in the business thus authorized should not at any one time either carry or have possession of more than the amount limited to each individual. Practically. that would nullify those provisions of the statute which permit importations 1t would amount to reductio ad ab- surdum (reduced to a logical absurd ity)."

NEWS OF ENSLEY

An interesting meeting was held yes terday afternoon at the Fairfield school. The feature of the meeting was an il- lustrated lecture on The Campaign Against the Fly" by Harry Da LaRue of the Ensley High school. who spoke to large gathering of residents of Fair field and Ensley
 Dr. Ross Snyder was scheduled to speak, but important business engage ments prevented him from attending. MT. LaRue's lecture was very instruc- tive. In addition to featuring about the fly, MT. LaRue also spoke on the Preparation and Care of Milk." The regular meeting of the Fairfield School Improvement association was held prior to the lecture. The largest at- tendance in recent months was recorded.

and power to appoint deputy so- fcitOrs. as is authorized by sec ton of the act of September 25, 1915; that such deputies, when so appointed by the circuit solicitor, have the right to prosecute crim- inaI cases in the circuit court, as is provided in that act, and are sub- ject to the orders and directions of the circuit and county solici- tors, as is authorized by the act, and by such other general acts re- lating to deputy solicitors as are not in conflict with the act of September 25. 1915, which provides for their appointment.
 eve further hold that the coun- ty solicitor has all the right and power to appoint or obtain assist ants and assistance which he law fully had under the provisions of the local laws of Jefferson county in force when the general sOIici- tors bill was passed and may con- tinue to exercise such powers un- til 1919; that abolishing the courts in which he and assistants had heretofore prosecuted cases did not take away the powers or rights of the county solicitor or his assistants--they not being Offi- cers of the courts so abated-and that his office was not abolished by the aboIishing of some or all of the courts in which he prose- cuted; that his assistants were not officers of any kind, the law au- thorizing their appointment fixing no terms and no compensation ex- cept such as might be agreed upon
  that the county solicitor can ap- point them for as long or for as short a time as he may desire, limited only by his own tenure of office or his will; that he may also pay them whatever he deems proper, the law only providing a county fund out of which the com pensatiOn should be paid on the order of the county solicitor; that the county solicitor is not obliged to employ any assistants or assist ance, the law leaving this to his discretion.
 ''Fhere is, therefore, this dif- Terence between the assistants which the circuit solicitor ap- points and those appointed by the county solicitor: The former are made officers. while the latter are not; but the prOprfety or necessity Of appointing any or nII authorized ny law is left in both instances to Inc officer authorized to appoint.
 ""hether this is wise or unwise iegisiatton, of course, is not for the courts but is the respOnsfbiIity or the legislature. Whether the cir cult or the county will have too many or too few assistant soIfci- fors is, of course, in n measure left to the discretion of the appoipt- Ing power as well as the matter of the character or efficiency of the nppointees. Upon the propriety of such legislatiOn the court cannot and does not pass"
 The court considered other points of attack but held them not well taken. It refused to go fur ther into a detailed discussion be- cause the opinion would become 100 lengthy. The opinion now con- talns 1S typewritten pages.
 In handing out the opinion the court announced that the yerbiare was subject to correction.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-02-16

Attorneys who read the opinion after it came down from the consultation room of the supreme court could not find any victory for either party to the dispute and it probably will be necessary for Solicitor Tate and Solicitor Black to reach an understanding for themselves.
 DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY
 The supreme court disclaimed any re- sponsibility for the decision which may give Jefferson county two times the mum Der of prosecuting officers necessary to carry on the work. It said plainly that the legislature in passing it's laws in 1915 did not intend that either the circuit solicitor or county solicitor shold lose his office, that no authority was taken from either and that any responsibility for any unwise legislation must be placed on the legislature.
 One point in the supreme courts opin- ion may prevent Solicitor Black from naming his assistants. The supreme court said salaries of his assistants must come from county funds provided by law and 1t is possible that this fund may not be available for the solicitor in the future because of the fact that the duties can be performed by assistants of the circuit solicitor, whose authority will be iden- tical with that vested in the assistants of Solicitor Black This point must be worked out later.
 MAY NOT BE END
 Every indication is that the decision of the court will not be the end of the dispute. The court did not go into an interpretation of the words "chief prose- cutting officer and the next case prob ably will be based on dispute as to authority of the two solicitors
 In reaching the decision the supreme court denied the petition of Solicitor Tate for a writ of mandamus requiring Judge William E. Fort of the circuit court to recognize him chief prosecuting off cer, affirmed the case of the state ex rel Zell Gaston vs. Solicitor Black, in which Judge Sharpe held that Solicitor Blacks office was not abolished, and af- hrmed the case in which Solicitor Tate made an original motion in the circuit court for recognition as chief prosecuting officer.
 Associate Justice A. D. Sayre dissented in each of the cases. All other mem bers of the court concurred in the .opin- ion, which came down from the court sitting as whole.
 COURT DECISION UPHELD
 After discussing the reasons for
 the courts conclusions, the opin-
 ion said:
 "We therefore hold that both
 the circuit solicitor, Tate, and the
 county solicitor, Black, are au-
 thorized to prosecute criminal
 cases in the circuit court of Jeff
 fersOn cOunty-the Tenth judicial
 circuit--until 1913; that the coun-
 ty solicitor Is made chief prose
 cutor for the county of Jefferson,
 which includes all of the Tenth
 circuit; and that, because the pro-
 viso of section 10 of the act in
 question. together with section
 17S1 of the criminal code, author-
 izes the county solicitor to prose-
 cute in such circuit court; that
 making the county solicitor chief
 prosecutor does not deprive the
 circuit solicitor of his office, and
 Is not subject to any other con
 stitutfonal objection; that the cir
 cult solicitor now has the right
