SPECIAL SESSION TALK

Some discussion was heard in pp- litical circles Friday and Saturday of an effort to hold a special session of the legislature at once for the, pur- pose of voting on the ratification of the amendment but an investigation and the reading of the constitution show that the only way to get an ex- tra session for the purpose of enact- ing laws or passing upon such issues is by call of the governor. The legis- lature can convene itself only for the purpose of considering impeachment proceedings against the governor or lieutenant governor.
 If the legislature were able to con- vene now it probably would ratify the amendment. Its record in 1915 was consistently for prohibition by an. overwhelming majority and the pro- hibitionists are still in control, all though several vacancies have oc- cured since the last session.
 FINAL PLANS FOR BATTLE
 Final plans for the fight will be made in Montgomery and Birming gham next week. Those who oppose the amendment and believe John H. Wal lace. Jr.. of Montgomery is the candi- date for governor who can lead the fisht will. meet in conference in the senate. chamber at the capitol and will prepare for a general campaign. Oscar s. Lewis, chairman of the Wallace campaign committee, Saturday de- clared that he was assured of rep resentative and large attendance of persons from all sections of the state.
 Not only will plans be made to aid MT. Wallace in his fight but con certed move will be made to bring out candidates for representatives in all counties and candidates for state senators in all senatorial district who will oppose the amendment
 While. Wallace supporters are ss- sembled in Montgomery, prohibition ists will hold forth in Birmingham and will plan for the campaign in fa- vor of the adoption of the prohibition amendment and in favor of Thomas D. Kilby of Anniston, prohibition

American Railroad Man Talks
 10 King George and Finds Him 10 Be a Good Fellow
Lieutenant Pat OBn Former Fe Employee Given Aud fence at Buckingham Palace and Relates His Thrilling
 Experience in Escaping From German Prison

London, December 10.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press. )--F1ight Lieut.. Pat O'Brien, the former santa Fe railway man, who effected a re- markab1e escape from Germany aft tie as member of the royal flying corps and who walked across a part of Germany, all of Luxemburg and Belgium before digging under the wire of deathv and reaching Amster- dam, has just told his story to the King at Buckingham palace. And O'Brien and che King have formed complimentary impressions of each other.
 S"I have met some of the heads of departments on the western division of the Santa Fe, some of the big busi- ness men in Chicago, and few of the men doing the fighting in im- portant positions in this war and I want to say that the King is one of the best" said O'Brien who is a na- tive of Momence, H., and resident of San Francisco. CT don't think he knows what side means. We shook hands heartily three times-on my sr- rival, when I thought I might be talk ing too much of his time and started to go and finally when we said good by.
 T received telegram to call at 10:30 o'clock and arriving two mn- utes before, found the King on rail- road time. I was not kept waiting a minute but was taken directly to him by one of his secretaries who with drew on presenting me. We then chatted for 40 minutes, the King show ing great interest in my experiences and questioning me minutely as to my route from the time I jumped out of the train window until I concealed myself nearby and studied the elec- trically charged barrier between Bell Der 2S automatically ordered the railroads of the country under government con- trol. No exception in favor of any rail- read was made. Since the issuance of the proclamation, however, the sugges- tion is made, apparently with authority, that the government has not taken con tori of all railroads, but is taking con- trol, system by system. The impression is that some of the railroads, the very small railroads, will be permitted to pro- ceeG on their course unnoticed and un- challenged
 In view of that fact, it is regarded as probable that over systems, not yet alb. sorhed. or over railroacs which will not be absorbed the commissions may con- tinue to exercise Jurisdiction. But MT Anderson is apparently positive that over systems under control of the gov ernment no railroad commission can reg ulate even intrastate rates. If this point is eventually accepted, pending rate squabbles in Alabama and other states states will at once come to conclusion.

RAILROADS FACED FAILURE

The biggest railroad systems of the country did not oppose the action-of the government. They welcomed 1t. They had been confronted by the ne- cessity of renewing securities in the sum of s40o,0oo,00O within the next two years and to do so at rate of interest as low as per cent was apparently impossible Under the gov ernment's action railroads are relieved of the necessity of renewing securities and the government with $500,000, 900, the amount of the appropriation asked for. will bear the burden, or, for the time being, will finance tho railroads at interest costs which, from any oth- CT source, could not have been so req sonably secured
 The Presidents railroad financial leg islation is now pending before the com merce committee of the Senate. The prediction is that in the long run it vii, be enacted. It is opposed, however. even if not vigorously, by financial school which is characterized by it's opposition to the government guaranteeing the value of securities. This Is the anti-rail- road school
