Needs Only Governors Sig nature To Become Law. Court House Bill Passes
STATE C.PITAL BUREAU ]
 THE AGE-HERALD { Montgomery. Ala, Sept, 2I

Condemned felons will be executed at Kilby prison and the gallows will be abolished June 1, 1924, if Governor Brandon approves the Inzer bill which was passed by the house by a vote of 56 to 10 Friday afternoon. The measure received the approval of the senate several weeks ago and was reached on the special calendar of the house during the early hours of the afternoon.
 No opposition was shown when the bill was called for passage. Representative Howze of Jefferson told the members that it was to line with the thoughts of other ad- vanced states. which were fast aban- doning the use of the hangman' s moose and putting an electric chair in it's place. No address was made against the bill and it was passed as soon as MT. Howze completed his address.
 Both houses rushed bills through as fast as possible Friday. They took up the work where they left off after the night sessions Thursday and before the end of Friday more than 100 bills had been delivered to the enrolling departments of the two houses.
 None of the measures, with the ex- ception of the electrocution bill created general interest. All admin istratfon measures which had a chance of passing had already re- ceived the consideration of the legis- lature while all the measures on which fights developed had already been disposed of either by passage or defeat.

pleted a survey OF conditions among
tubercular veterans in a number OF
states, which has resulted in the allot-

Our survey showed that the former

Mr.. Harris stated. IN many instances
they have brought their families with
them. Legion posts and charitable or
