Special to Independent
 Little Rock, March 5The indic0 tions at present are that there XII be no special session of the Le4isl ture. s.B# E |l| This statement was authorized tEl morning by Gov. Brough, folloWl the action yesterday of the supR lll court in denying the petition for re-hearing of the Rivard bone arr case from Hot Springs.
 However, the governor added, th6f he will call the extra session shoiil there be demand for it by . cfe1s l majority of both houses, which not yet forthcoming. '
 He has heard from large nunlbGz of the members of both Senate md House and considerable opposition has developed Therefore, while tho mind of the governor is open on tho subject, it is very improbable that majority of the members will sign an agreement to waive their per diem. enact remedial prohibition laws, rat- fly the Federal prohibition aInend- ment and adjourn promptly.
 The supreme court, Justice Hum phreys dissenting, handed down es written opinion in denying re-hear- ing in the case, clarifying but not modifying the original decision. Tho opinion, written by Justice Hart, cone cludes with the following Statements:
 "The language of the act is plain and unambiguous, and we rest the construction we have placed upon} it upon the language used by the latx- makers in framing it. We are of theu opinion that when the language used in the act is given it's plain and ordinary meaning, that there is mo- prohibition of the personal transpor- tation of an individuals own liquors from another state into this state.
 The whole issue has devolved upon the grammatical construction of the language employed in the act.

Naturally, there will be need of se-

idea is that the procedure could re
