SPECIAL SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
MAY BE CALLED
TERM MAY BE CONVENED THIS
YEAR FOR PURPOSE OF REAP
FORTHCOMING STATE AS THE
Law REQUIRES.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

IS1AL IL IftE JOURNAL.
Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 5.-Although
there has been no official notification
OF 1t, friends of the governor here are
OF the opinion that he will call a
special session of the legislature for
the express purpose of reapportion-
ing the state as to legislative repre-
sentation, and that he will call it be-
fore the year 1917 is out. The con-
stitution provides that the state be
reapportioned every ten years, and
this is one of the tenth years. The
state has not been reapportioned for
several decades in spite of the con-
stitutional requirement., and many
South Florida counties are under
represented, as well as growing coun-
ties in other parts of the state. The
governor is very anxious for this to
be done during the present year. If
it is not brought about this year,
there is hardly a chance of its accom-
plishment during the term of office
of Governor Cats. A call for an
extraordinary session for this purpose
would not be a surprise to the capital
at any day. During an extra session
it requires a two-thirds majority vote
to bring up any matter except that
for which the session was called.

Germans Captured in Large
Numbers in Latest and
Biggest Drive.
GERMANS REPLY WITH
HEAVIEST ARTILLERY
Comparatively Quiet Along
Other Fronts-Vienna
Admit Italian Gains.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY.

British forces are busy consolidat-
ing the gain made in Thursdays s
drive in Flanders when tney captured
many Germans and moved their lines
forward along an eight mile front.
Germans are replying with heavy ar
tillery action. 1t is reported the
British captured nearly five thousand
prisoners in yesterdays attack.
1t is comparatively quiet in other
fronts, and Vienna admits Italians
are successful in winning trenches
from Austrians in Western Europe on
Monte San Gabrielle.
The course of events during the
night gave further evidence of the
severity of the shock given the Ger
mans in yesterdays thrust They
kept up heavy artillery fire during
the night, but did not deliver a single
counter attack. Meanwhile the Brit
ish were busy consolidating their new
positions.
On the French front General Pc
tain's troops had to cope with sew
eral surprise attacks by the Germans
last night, notably in the Champagne
and in upper Alsace. The German
efforts, however, met with no sue
cess. Northeast of Verdun where the
Germans recently regained a bit of
territory from the French, the vio-
lent artillery action is continuing.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, Oct. 5.-With the ma
tional guard out of the state and the
law of the last legislature establish
ing home or county guards, provid-
ing that they be under other authorl-
ties than the governor, Governor
Cats was at loss to know how he
was to insure a safe trial for the
Live Oak bankers, who, under a
change of venue, are to be tried at
Madison beginning Monday. But
when the chief executive mentio
the reported danger of the bankers
not receiving a fair trial at Madison
against them as a result of the fail
ure of the bank last spring, he was
advised by Attorney General Van c..
Swearingen that under the constitu-
tion of Florida, all able-bodied men
between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five are the militia of the state,
and the governor is the commander
in-chief of all military forces of Flor
ida, the governor asked the supreme
court for an opinion for his guidance
on this subject and that body rem
dered a unanimous opinion, sustain
ing the position of the attorney gen.
eral. Whereupon the governor imme-
diately ordered Captain John L. Dog
gett of the Jacksonville home guards,
to go with fifty picked men from his
company to Madison to keep order
during the trial.
The governor, at the same time,
by wire ordered Adjutant General J.
B. Christian to arrange for special
car to carry the home guardsmen
from Jacksonville to Madison. Sun
day, and to equip them with what
ever ammunition and other supplies
they might need. The Madison coun-
ty sheriff was instructed to provide
for the maintenance of the fifty Jack
sonville guardsmen while in Madison.
Depositors who lost money in the
bank failure are said to have at
tempted the lives of the bankers last
spring, and feeling in the case is so
high that it was transferred from
Live Oak to Madison. The constitu-
tion provides that every man have
fair trial and the law take its course,
