Senator Stokes Bill Would

in Criminal Cases.
taY HERBERT FELKELl

Tallahassee, May 31.-With only
five more days remaining and several
hundred bills yet pending. the house
this afternoon devoted several hours
in debate on the coats bill extending
the territorial limits of Okeechobee
county, and while it was understood
the senate held sessions today instead
of ad5ourning over until Monday to
receive important house measures, the
drawers of the clerks desk were stuff
ed with senate messages which must
go over until Monday.
Efforts of members anxious to hear
the senate message on the Wilder
Scruggs amendment to the Igou- Carl
ton road bill which it was understood
had been sent over to secure recog-
milton and ask for senate messages to
be taken up were unayailing, and the
house adjourned until Monday after
reconsidering banking corporation
bill relating to the sale of shares of
stock when assessment is not paid
which had failed to pass last night.
On the surface the sessions moved
smoothly but in the corridors and COM
mittee rooms an element that took Of
Tense at the speakers ruling yesterday

their grievances.
The house and senate are now ap-
parentIy deadIocked and road legisla-
tion for the present is blocked. The
situation was further complicated by
a rumor that the governor will veto
any road measure that does not vest
supervisory control of road building in
the commissioners of state institu-
tions.
The senate sent over message again
that the house recede from the Will
der -Scruggs amendment but the mes
sage was not read in the house.
Tonight members have figured up the
situation and find that should the Igou-
Carlton bill be finally passed and be
vetoed it cannot be passed over the
veto as beginning Monday the gov
ernor will have ten days for consider
ing bills before they can become
laws without his approval or in which
to veto them.
For the first time in the history
of either branch the senate calendar

adjournment of the session, was clear

Record Clerk Goes on Salary.
Senator stokes today introduced and
passed a bill providing that the clerk
of the court of record of Escambia
county shall in the future receive
500 a year for the criminal business
he handles instead of fees that now
approximate $500 but he shall con-
tinue to receive fees for all civil busi-
ness handled which amount to form
50, TOO to $4,000 a year.
1t was stated that the placing of
the civil work on a salary was too
complicated to work out equitable in a
bill. These fees however, come out of
the litigants and not the county. The
passage of this measure will result in
a saving of abouut twenty-five hun
dred dollars year to the people of
Escambia and its passage was a plank
in the senators platform when he ran
tor the office he now occupies. He al
ready has passed a bill placing the
solicitor OF that court on a salary.

The governor today vetoed the act

Evidence submitted satisfies him that

passage OF the bill was published as
required by the constitution for local

The bill. though a local law. Is a
matter Of state wide interest which
should be dealt with by general rath-

is a local bill it would effect not
only Leon county but the whole STATE in

Of one months hunting in Leon coun-

nies Union Workers Are
Disseminated Against.

Atlanta, Ga, May 31.-The dispute

and Telegraph company and certain
of it's employees which the latter as
sert may result in a nation-wid

raphers telephone and electrical
workers, has been referred to the
government board, New York, which
controls the wire companies. Presi-
dent Brown, of the Southern Bell,
said today.
Asserting that fourteen local switch
board operators were discharged for
joining the union, the union commit
tee today presented an ultimatum to
the company demanding reinstate-
ment with the alternative of ma
ton wide strike Monday at three
O'Clock. President Brown denied the
assertions.
In brief statement. President
Brown said: "Six out of $50 telephone
operators enjoyed by US in Atlanta
have been discharged since May I,
each one for inefficiency or infrac-
tion of rules without regard to wheth-
er or not they were members of the
union.

are not members of the union. We
make no distinction between union
and nom union rnpIoye-
Members OF the coksr ittee which
presented the ultifnatun said the
next step was to make report at
the union meeting tomorrow night.
The strike, il called, would involve
800, 900 commercial telegraphers and
telephone workers throughout the
United States, union leaders said, and
later might involve 100000 telegra-
piers
Officials of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone and Telegraph company and
other wire companies at Atlanta de-
MED this morning that any ultimatum
had been presented to them by the
representatives of the International
Commercial Photographers Union, in
which a nation wide Strike of union
workers was threatened.
According to company officials none
of their employees have been dis
charged from alleged union affilia-
tions and so far as they are aware,
they assert, there is no ground for
such an ultimatum as was reported
from Washington.
