 of venue. this subject resulting from the developments in the trial of Sergt. Robert J. Lancaster.
 Passage of bill which will impose a penalty on any trial judge who fails to file with the governor statement regarding the offense for which any person Is given a prison term of five years or more.
 Appropriation to defray the ex- penses of the session of the legisla- ture.
 Reached Quick Conclusion
 Governor Kilby made no comment when he made public his proclama- tion. However, 1t is known that he reached the conclusion since he returned to his office Friday morn- ing that the state should no longer delay the resubmission of the high way bond issue amendment, which was rendered invalid by the decision of the supreme court early in the year. While the state has until July 1. 1922, under the present arrange ment to match the federal appropria- ton, the people cannot vote on the bond amendment until January or February, and if the bond issue is au thorized 1t will take some weeks to prepare the bonds and negotiate their sale.
 One thing which influenced the governor to issue the call for the i'm mediate converting of the legislature was the passage by the United States Senate late in August of the bill ap- propriating an additional s75,000.000 for road work in the nation. Ala bama's share of this amount will be a little more than s1,60O, 900. The bill which passed the Senate is now in conference committee, but the state highway department expects the measure to be accepted without de- lay because the House passed a simi- lar measure practically without op- position several weeks ago.
 The public had no information that any of the subjects would be included in the call except the highway bond amendment the ex-service mems poll tax amendment and the port amendment Governor Kilby had el- subjects would be included in a call if he decided an extra session .as unnecessary.
 Much Beverage Discussion
 There had been much discussion in Alabama in recent weeks about the sale of cereal beverages and nang persons have believed the governor would include the subject. Those favoring the passage of bill ,egal- izing the sale have pointed out that Alabama is the only state in the union which prohibits the sale of the beverages, which are not irtox- icating. The Anti Saloon leagie ie has already announced it's opposition to the bill, and a lively fight is cx- pected.
 There had been no intimation tr at Sunday observance and the regulation of motion pictures would be included. However, a committee of citizens of Montgomery recently urged the gov ernor to request legislation regard ing Sunday observance if he deci led to call the legislature. In inclu ling this subject. Governor Kilby Is un- derstood to be opposed to so- called blue laws. but does not favor laws which will oper- ate uniformly throughout the state. In other words, the governor Is un- derstood to believe that a law which Is good for one section is good for any other section. and law which Is bad for one section is bad for all others.
 It is though the subject of motion picture regulation has resulted from the fact that pictures of doubtful Vdfuc anu uOuDIlul e1itCl OH 'llt minds of the young are being shown. and from the recent developments regarding the lives of motion picture actors.
 Hard fights are expected on some of the measures. For instance 1t is certain the labor unions will oppose the anti boycott and anti-blacklist- ing bills. It is equally as certain that a great lobby will oppose any censorship or regulation of motion pictures. And cereal beverages will bring many persons to Montgomery to oppose any change in the prohibit tory laws which were enacted in 1919.
 Everything Is in readiness for the session. The senate chamber and house of representatives were cleared and the chairs placed several weeks ago. Supplies have been in the cap itol more than month. having :een ordered by the secretary of the sem ate and the clerk of the house of rep
