Sensational developments are expect
Ell very soon in the situation grow
ing out of the official revocation OF
the Southern Railway Company's Ii
ccnse to do business in this State.
Governor Conner has been in close
consultation here with the States at
torncys on the railroad question
Wholesale arrests for violating the
railroad laws may begin at any mo-
ment, and the Governor may send
out notices through the Attorney
General Ia nave every person con
ncctcd with the railroad violating the
laws arrested and tried under the
criminal provisions OF the various
railroad regulation bills.
The Southern Railway Is still do.
inS business, and no move has been
made To comply with the rcyokng OF
its license. 1t is known. however,
that If the road does not quickly com.
ply with the order Of the Secretary
o! State there will he many criminal
prosecutions.
Feeling Public Pulse.
The railroad has intimatcd that IL
will obey the law and cut out all IN
trastatc business. This is regarded
as an effort to feel the pulse of the
people and is not taken rs serious.
The sentiment of the legislators is
that the laws should be enforced. no
matter if there should be conflict
with the Federal courts. They con-
tend that the Legislature should have
the right TO say what is best for the
people of the State rather than lone
Federal judge.
Governor Conner is receiving the
backing of all the papers which sup
ported him during his race, but is not
getting any support from those which
opposed him. 1t is intimated the
Governor will call an extra session OF
theLcgislature if necessary. to placo
the Southern Railway in the hands
OF Il receiver and may even call out
the militia to enforce the authority
of the State.
Regarded as Outlawry.
local newspaper. regarded as
Mr. Corners organ, declares Governor
Conner considers the action of the
Southern in ignoring the revocation
of its license as an act OF outlawry
Just rs the action of mob would
be in attacking the property of n
railroad. The Governors organ sug.
scsts that III case the railroad should
decide to withdraw from interstate
business in Alabama the Governor
might go SO far as 10 take charge OF
the railroad with the State militia.
James Wcathcrly. of local counsel
for the Southern Railway, who has
returned from North Carolina. said
today the Southern would certainly
not transfer the Objectionable case
back to the State courts so as tC
have the license ro-establishcd. II,
declared the Alabama counsel of tho
Southern had received no instruc
ticns as to further procedure
1t is predicted by some lawyers
That If arrests are made and the
Southern appeals to the State ST.
prcmc Court that court will declare
the outlaw act unconstitutional.
