Win Abolish Contrabrand.

The Hague, August.-The British proposition for the abolition of con trabrand was adopted in committee Wednesday by 25 votes to 5. The rep resentatives of the United States, Ger many, France, Russia and Montenegro expressed themselves as opposed tc the measure and Japan, Spain. Pana ma, Greece. and Roumania abstained from voting. There were also ten ab sentees. In explanation of the Ameri can vote in opposition, Joseph II Choate declared it was the plan of the United States to limit in every possi ble way the list of objects that shak be considered contraband of war. but to go further than this now would be a violation of long-established GUS tom. The change, MT Choate contin ued, will create many uncertainties re garding the rights and duties of neu trals and belligerants and prove more injurious to the commerce of the world than the existing custom. The British proposal on contrabrapd, to gether with the proposals submitted by the United States and others on the same subject, has been sent tc committee for examination. The Amer ican proposal divides contrabrand. into two classes, absolute and condi tional

THE RATE QUESTION
Developments Expected In Alabama In
 Railroad Cases.

Montgomery, Ala, August.-Gover. nor Conner has been in consultation with the attorney of the state for some time. and there Is an impression that some action Is contemplated with re- gard to the suits against the state by the railroad companies Several rail- road rate laws have been enjoined in the federal court, making a situation very much like that in North Caro- lina. As a number of them went into effect on passage, and the criminal feature is in force. it not at all url- likely that some Grand Jury may in- dict and cause arrests at any time This is the way it started in North Carolina. It is also thought that in case there is not authority enough in the laws as they now stand, the governor will call an extra session of the legislature to make them so.
 The laws of Alabama allow an act to be enjoined and suspended, while it may be enjoined only in North Caro- lima. However. the courts have held that the United States Court cannot enjoin criminal action, and if there is an indictment and arrest on this line, it will bring out the issue at once.
 There is sentiment in the legisla ture to uphold the executive, and he has indicated that he will call an ex tra session shortly, possibly about the time the criminal laws go into effect

The de cision is implacable, bearing on the matter of time off allowed military prisoners for good behavior This IS Kirkman s second rebun In an enort to secure release.

State Capital Notes

Little Rock.-Attorney General w F. Shelby has rendered an opinion to the effect that member of the legis lature is ineligible to hold a position on the St. Francis Levee Board and as a result Governor Pindall will re move Representatives Killough and Love. The sweeping opinion of the attor. ney general, it is stated, will have the effect of displacing State Senator W. $. Goodwin of Warren as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Uni versity of Arkansas and State Senator Otis T. Wingo as a member of the State Normal Board. This, perhaps, will be the result unless Represents tive Killough or Representative Love should take the issue raised by the attorney generals opinion to the courts, and the Supreme Court should decide the constitutional question ad- versely to Mir. Kirby's opinion. Governor Pindall Is expected to an nounce the appointment to fill the vacancies early this week. It has been stated by an authority who IS close to the acting governor that it was very likely that he would name Eugene J. Badinelli of Wynne to sue ceed Representative O N. killough. and that he would appoint Eugene Rolfe or Thomas A. Buford of Forrest City to succeed Oscar Woln, resigned, MT. Rolfe Is one of the largest cotton y,ta n tar fv. ot. NI. Badinelli was for many years a prom inent retail liquor dealer in Wynne, also dealer in real estate, which business he is still engaged in. For several years he has been president of the liquor dealers organization of Arkansas. The question as to who will succeed Representative F. O..
