against persons living IN the vicinity
OF montgomery, Ala. One man, named
Robert n Franklin, has already been
indicted for keeping a negro in servi-
tude, and information in the hands Of
Chlef WilEie tends to show that a reg
ular system has been practiced between
certain magistrates and persons who
want negro labOrers-
The plan is To bring a poor negro be-
fore a magistrate on a fimsy charge.
He is convicted and the white man Of
ters to advance him the money prOvid-
ed the negro viii make labor contract

Gent to reimburse him for the money
and trouble he has taken to keep the
negro out of jail. The negro is there
upon taken away and begins what is
frequently a long term of cruel servi-
tude.
The checks which figure in the al
legged payments to Miller and Johns,
which are in possession Of the depart
ment, are for S3,400. They were supple

Shops Near Large City.
1t was impossible to learn at head
rious claimants now working for the
shops. but II was conceded that they
should be IN or near large city, which
means that the company has practically
abandoned the plan to locate the shops
about midway between Los Angeles and
salt Lake City. Such a course would
land them in the desert, far from any
base of supplies.
Of the two terminals Los Angeles is
considered preferable, but Immediately in
the city land is too dear to make it feas-
ible to buy extensive shop sites here.
Consequently only two places remain IN
the race for the shops, Ontario and
Pomona. and the former IS favored by
the Salt Lake management.
An Independent Line.

pendent transcOntinental line into Los

Of being independent under difficulties
