WILL ENLARGE PLANT.
Car Works at Anniston to Have capac-
 ty Increased.


 Annston, January 7.-(Special )-As an indication of the era of prosperity which is believed to be just beginning in this section of the country, and which is bound to make itself manifest in Anniston and vicinity as quickly as elsewhere, is the announcement of the Western Steel Car and Foundry company that their local plant is to be enlarged at once to in- crease the capacity of the plant from twenty-five to thirty cars per day, the erecting shed being the part of the plant directly involved in the enlargement idea. Work at the local plant was never more pressing than at present, and not a man that applies for work fails to get a posi- tion in some department.
 The company received this week an or der for 400 of the latest type of freight cars for the Tidewater road of Georgia, which in addition to an order for 1900 cars for smaller roads and big order from the Southern road recently, will keep the plant in full operation for many months to come. The growth of this concern is all the more wonderful when it is considered that less than year ago when the pres ent company purchased the plant the ca pacity was ten cars per day. This was gradually increased until the present number of twenty-five was reached and thirty per day will soon be the output.

PLEA IN ABATEMENT MADE
 BY GAYNOR AND GREENE

have no wish to defy or evade the law or authority of the United States they do not regard themselves fugitives from justice but from injustice and perseeu- ton. The acts and words of the judge of the southern district of Georgia leave no doubt on that point.
 'In May, 1900 his conduct was so se- verely commented upon by the New York Sun as to say It is evident they Ghe undersigned), cannot have a fair trial before the judge of the southern dis trict of Georgia
 He has been heard to say more than once in the hotel lobby in Savannah that he expected this case to put him on tho supreme bench and District Attorney Erwin in his place. His conduct in tho matter of the recent indictment is evil dence of his partisan zeal beyond jus tlce or discretion.
 Ask Him to Investigate.
 "The undersigned do not wish here to go fully into this suD;ect They appeal to the attorney general to investigate for himself
 'If the attorney general can arrange to take the indictment that stood against the undersigned when they left Savannah ol February 24, before any judge in New York, they will agree 10 waive all ob- jections as to Jurisdiction and return at once for trial. They believe it their duty and right to resist here. and everywhere, all attempts to take them to the southern district of Georgia. They fall to see wherein their conduct is less justiiabe than that of an ex-governor who seeks refuge in neighboring state and is pro- tected there, though he is charged with a more serious offense than the under signed.
 As to the charge of fraud. they are willing to leave the whole matter to the three civil engineers on the Nicaragua canal commission, or any other impar- tially constituted board of engineers.

European prestIqe at Stake.

Rome, January S.--A former cabinet minister who is a statesman of note and likely to return to power, has written an important article in the Corriere Della Sepia on the International situation in connection with the Moroccan conference.
 He says he thinks that the real antagon- ism is between Germany and Great Brit ain War between the two countries he points out, would have dreadful effects as it necessarily would involve only pow CTS, leading to a retrogression of cen turies. Whichever side is victorious, the writer asserts, Europe would have to cede the supremacy in civilization to America and Japan, who would become the domin- ators of weak and discouraged Europe Germany or Great Britain cannot wish this, he says. and consequently they prob ably VI III come to an understanding.

Call It Harmless Libretto.

Paris. January S.--The German pamphlet Or white book on Morocco, issued today in Berlin, receives prominent attention here The prevailing comment of the officials and the newspapers is that the publica- ton does not contain salient develop ments and does not materially change the presentation of the subject in the French yellow book"
 It is particularly noted that Germany has no French dispatches on which to base her claims, the German theories be- ing maintained by dispatches from Count von Lattenbach-Ashold. and other Ger man agents who naturally presented the French intentions towards Morocco in an unfavorable light.

Savannah, Ga, January S.-Preliminary to the trial of Benjamin D. Greene John F. Gaynor, William Gaynor and Edward r. Gaynor, on the charge of embedding and receiving some two million dollars that belonged to the United States, which will be called in the federal court to- morrow morning, the defense this after noon filed a plea in abatement to the two indictments that were found last Novem- Der and served Special Assistant United States Attorney General Marion Erwin with notice to produce the original of a telegram Greene and John F. Gaynor claim they sent to Attorney General Knox while they were in Quebec early in 1902.
 The plea in abatement is based upon the contention that the grand jury that found the last bills of indictments against Greene and Gaynor had no legal existence for several reasons, which are enumerat- ed. The defendants say that the indict- ments should be quashed. One of the contentious is that the members of the grand jury were drawn from the south western division of the southern district of Georgia instead of the eastern division. Sections of the federal statutes are quot ed to support the contention.
 Another contention is that he names of the grand jurors who returned the indictments were improperly prepared. that Judge Speer appointed a special jury commission to prepare list of the jurors for this case and that he had not au- thority to make such special appoint ments.
 The following is a copy of the tele- gram the defendants claim to have sent, and which they wish produced in court in the original:

This publication, how ever contains but few interesting feat ures It closes with B symposium of the newspaper cuttings. expressing the aspira- ton of the French to attain exclusive jurisdiction in Morocco and representing that the French minister at Fez had assumed the mandate of Europe to urge the execution of reforms in Morocco.
 The Sultain of Morocco December 1 re- eeived in audience Herr Vassel, the Ger man consul at Fez, and talked over the general situation.

Further Views By Sultan.

FuFIner VIEWS DJ Oultan'
 Count Tattenbach-Ashold, special Ger man representative at Fez, wrote May the following commentary on the Sultan's views of the situation:
 "The remark of NJ Delcasse in the chamber of deputies upon the visit of Emperor William that Morocco had ac- cepted in principle the French reform pro posals is as little the truth as the French envoys assertions that he had the man. date of Europe From the beginning the Sultan had doubts of these assertions, and he rejoiced that the situation was clear ing. Until now he had not made the least concession to France, but had await ed the arrival of the German minister to talk over everything thoroughly Count Won Tattenbach-Ashold added:
 .'The Sultan Is evidently convinced that the time is arriving for him and his em- pire to determine whether they may or may not exist"
 Two days later Count Won Tattenbach- Ashold reported that the French minister as soon as he arrived at Fez informed the. Sultan that M. Delcasse had author ized him to say that France would regard 1t as in conflict with her interests if the French reform proposals were sub mitted to the powers for their informa- tion, and an expression of views. No other power had the right to intervene in MOrOccdn dI1dlTS. HS hOIOccdb BoNClH- ment ought to accept the French plan 1t was unable itself to maintain order In the country.
 Won BueIow Summarizes Impressions.
 Chancellor von Buelow summarized the impressions made upon his mind by these dispatches in a communication to Prince von Radolin, the German ambassador at Paris, May 22 saying that the proceed ings at Fez did not correspond with the previous policy pursued at Fez. The French representative was apparently in tending to lay hold of Morocco without scruple and to forbid the Sultan to hold any further communication with the other powers.
 Count von Tattenbach-Ashold sum marizing the financial changes urged by France, said that carrying them out would have made Morocco economically depend ent on France The finances of the coun- try would have been brought under the in- fiuence of a privileged issuing bank. all exports would have been controlled by warehouse enterprises, and all the colon zatlon by regulations governing the sale of land
