streets ownership come up regularly
for a hearing on its merits, the men
who applied to the court for relief are
to be brought before a judge of the
Federal court for contempt!
This, Notwithstanding the fact that
the Southern road itself, through its
attorneys and its vice. president, went
into the court and replied to the plead
ings and recognized to that extent at
least the jurisdiction.
And when they failed to have the
restraining order dissolved, instead of
la motion for removal the bring a
criminal charge, trusting to convict the
officials of the city of Durham through
the evidence OF the Purnell decree for
testing their honest belief as to their
rights in a State court, and thus by
getting Judge Pritchard to determine
the question of whether the evidence
is good to pass in a criminal action on
the merits of a civil question of the
ownership of land, now pending in the
State courts!
1t is like an Indictment for cruelty
to animals for the non-payment of a
calico mule that has done gone and
died"
The scheme is as transparent as it is
monstrous and overbearing in its con-
ception!
Durham to have been greatly "out-
ragged at the action of Judge PEBBLES
in refusing to dissolve the injunction
procured by the city. He lost no time
but headed his private car towards
Asheville, and today's order to show
I cause why the officials should not be
attached for contempt is the result.
Colonel Andrews was said not only to
be Outraged" but to be surprised"
is his surprise an indication in his
abandonment of the course which he
was generally expected to take, to ask
a removal to the Federal court in the
first instance? Was Judge PEBBLES
thought TO be SO easy a mark" as
to throw the shrewd Southern lawyers
at fault?
And does the attempt to bring a
criminal action and secure in advance

A Tentative step Toward Peace.

Paris, March 25.-It is said i'm
quarters having excellent means of IN
formation that Russia's steps toward
peace have already taken a tentative
form at a private conference held
within recent days at several capitals
of Northern Europe The purpose
of this appears to have been to bring
together personages representing both
sides. neither having credentials to
discuss formal terms of peace, but TO
informally examine what each slde
expected and what tentative basis
seemed possible. The nature of this
exchange does not warrant it's being
considered a definite peace movement,
but it is understood to have given
each side an opportunity to judge the
view of the other. and it has clearly
shown Russia's disposition towards
peace
