BANG!~

Gently civil suit brought by citizens
of Talladega county against the
Southern Railway for damages for
alleged personal injuries was removed
from the county court here. When
notice of the removal was given by
the court clerk to Secretary Of State,
Frank n. Julian, the latter wrote the
following across the stub Of the Ii
cense issued to the Southern Rail
way:
"1llis license IS cancelled for vio-
lation of the act under which it was
issued by the removal Of a civil
cause from court Of this state to
the Federal court. Il"
This law is one among others the
enforcement Of which has been en-
joined by the railroads through the
Federal courts, the injuhctions hav-
Ing been issued by Judge Thomas G.

Jones last May. The injunctions,
however. are only against the State
Railroad Commission, its members in
dividually and Attorney-General A.
NJ. CARRIER. Secretary of State Julian
is in no sense party, and hence can
not be held as being in contempt of
court in revoking the license.
1t is thought that Julian s action
is the result Of conference held two
days ago between Gov. Conner and
the states attorneys, at which the
determination was reached to find
way, as Gov. Glenn did in North
Carolina, to get around Federal court
injunctions. The governor decided
to call an extra session of the legls-
lature in the fall to adopt new rail
road legislation.
The Southern Railway owns and
operates 1000 miles of track in Ala
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-08

bama. AS yet no action has been
taken to enforce the revocation Of
the license. There is a penalty for
every contract road makes after its
license has been refoked, ranging
in fines from $100 to $4,000 and inn
prisonment of the agents for not more
than twelve months, or both. In adj
dition such contracts are declared
null and void
Lawyers here think that Secretary
Julian's action means a clash be-
tween the state and Federal author
tiles. The legislature has before it
now a bill to provide for receivers
for foreign corporations which have
forfeited their charters or licenses.
This bill, it is expected, will be
rushed through at once, and under
its provisions the state may ask a
receiver, for the Southern Railway.

Alabama License of Southern RaiLpay Reboked

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 2.-Deter-
mined TO follow the example set by
Gov. Glenn, of North Carolina, in
forcing the railroads to obey the
state laws, Gov. Conner and the state
administration, although enjoined by
the roads through the Federal courts
from putting into effect the new rail
road laws in this state, have taken
new rack, and as II result the Ii.
cense of the Southern Railway to do
business in Alabama has been re-
voked.
Among the acts passed by the leg
islature last winter was one requir-
ing foreign nonresident corpora
tions" to take out a license to do
business in Alabama ana forbidding
them to remove civil suits from q
