 Montgomery, October 1S.-(Special) Prospects of an immediate extraordinary
 session of the Alabama legislature went
 glimmering Monday when porters at the capitol began the task of removing desks and chairs from the hall of the house of representatives. As fast as the fixtures were taken out display cases of the department of archives and his- tory were moved in, and for the next year or so this will be the home of the ] valuable relics of the war of '6l, Indian days and rifles and equipment of Ala bama boys who served in the world war.
 When the legislature adjourned sine die several weeks ago it was unotticlally reported that Governor kilby would not permit the removal of the chairs ana desks. This caused the circulation or rumor No 2 came along in due time had an extra session in mind. Then rumor No came along in due tune and the governor was said to be wiling 1 to call an extra session for the ratifica- 1 tion of the oft-defeated Susan 5. An thony woman suffrage amendment 10 | the federal constitution. Gosslpers then ] said it would be useless for the governor 1 to suggest ratification of the suffrage amendment, because the majority mem hers of the two houses had pledged the l anti-crowd to defeat 1t.
 And in a very short time the capitol was filed with rumors, one being that the governor would wield the big stock again. and tell the legislature to get more money from the taxpayers or from any body fortunate enough to have money. Then the executive left the state, for getting state affairs. Orders were ls- sued to remove the desks from the nah 1 of representatives. These orders kiileo dozen or more rumors, and there will be TO extraordinary session of the Ala hama legislature at this time.

 Montgomery, October 1S.-(SpeciaL)-of
 the 125o house bills introduced during
 the winter and summer sessions of the 1919 legislature only ss5 were enacted into
 law. according to compilation of figures
 made public Monday by Walter F. Miller.
 senate secretary, and Fred IL Gormley, clerk of the house. Governor Kilby re- fused to sign mary of the house bills be- fore his departure ten days ago on his annual vacation, and they have since died because of the provisions of the constitu- ton, which provide for signing not later than ten calendar days after sine die ad- journment of the legislature.
 In the senate TO bills were introduced. Of that number only 2s9 bills were enact- ed into law. Many of those were per- n1itted to die on the Governors desk. The majority of the bills. left to die in committee desks and on the calendars of
 the two houses were of a local nature, and there was much disappointment ex- pressed by legislators when they failed of passage.
 State officials have said nothing about the Briscoe bill, in the senate, which pIONIOGu lIal all St@lS OiLfCldlS i've III Montgomery. When the measure was young there was much talk of it and it's drastic provisions and it was openly charged that Governor Kilby and Sen ator Briscoe were getting even" with Samuel E. Kennedy, president of the Alabama public service commission. Mir. Kennedy lives in Anniston-the home l town of the Governor. The bin affected only two men Messrs. Kennedy and $. r. Gaillard, associate member of the com mission. The latter lives in Mobile. The Briscoe bill is not law-notwith- standing the fact it went through the proper machinery, was 70. k-sd' by James Weatherly, legal adviser to the Governor, and others. Now 1t has been found the bill is unconstitutional; that 1t did not contain the enacting clause. It was reported the measure had been ap- proved by the Governor before he dis covered the error Then it was consigned to the wastebasket, so far as the ones affected are concerned.
