FOLLOW SUIT
IN ALABAMA
10 Dealing With the South
ern Railway
The State Treading the
Path Marked Out by
North Carolina.

birmingham, Ala, Aug. 5.-No Off
cial statement was issued tonight OF
the conference between Governor Com
er, Attorney General CARRIER and as
sistant counsel employed by the state
to assist in enforcing the laws affect
ing the railroads, as to the next step
In the case against the Southern Rail-
way. The governor and attorney gen.
eral left for Montgomery late this af-
ternoon and a lengthy session was
held by special counsel tonight at
which the legal phases Of the questions
were gone over. It is expected that
they Will make a report to the COVER
nor tomorrow.
While the governor would make no
statements his advisors let 1t be known
that he Is determined to enforce the
state laws at any cost. They said that
II necessary an extra session OF the
legislature would be called or troops
would be called to see that the states
commands are obeyed. They take the
view that the Southern Railway by de-
flying the state law by the removal of
the case from the state to the federal
court and thereby having its charter
revoked by the secretary of state, has
placed itself in a position to be dealt
with as an outlaw or mob would be
dealt with.
1t is considered more than likely
that wholesale arrests will follow in
the next few days, of officials and en-
ployes If ehe Southern Railway con-
tinues 10 operate the various lines
in spite of the fact that il is doing so
without a charter from the state.

cept by the feet of the dead man.
Some persons who saw the body rec
ognized 1t as that of a man who had
Deen seen about the Anheuser and

tool sharpener but beyond that notb-
Ing was known of the man; 1t was not

him.
IL was uncertain when he came tn

chased at Goldberg Bros, must have

mixed with gray. and his age is sup-
posed TO be from forty-five to fifty.

The pursuers soon overlook the man

BY HANGING
Suicide of Gus COpeIin at
the Star Lodging House
The Deliberate and Deter.
mined Manner In Which
the Victim Proceeded.

Gus Copelin. a miner, committed sui
eide by hanging ct the Star Lodgine
house some time after midnight or
Sunday night. His suspended. body
was found about ten o'clock yesterday
morning in the room rented by him tht
night before.
Death took place IN a small room
facing First street, near the rear oil
the building. Copelin had employed
such instruments and means as he
found about him and so had made nc
elaborate preparations. In fact the
idea Of suicide could not have been
entertained by him very long for he
was wearing a pair of new coarse
shoes. his old ones being tied up in a
bundle on the floor.
The steps by which he proceeded to
death may be described as accurately
as If they had been witnessed Cope
lin removed a leather belt and forming
a loop by passing one end of it through
the buckle fastened IL about his neck.
The end was made fast by a single
knot to ten penny nail in the board
partition just above his head There
was another nail of the same size in
the partition about eight inches higher
which would have served his purpose
better. Then he knelt with his face to
the wall. The strap was long enough
to let his knees rest upon the floor and
then he sat back deliberately and
choked to death. The weight of the
body pulled the nail down toward it
but it held its weight and the knot
caught upon the head of it so
tightly that it could not be united and
the strap had to be cut before the body
could be released. The face was turn
ed up sidewise toward the wall. The
strap haa almost buried itself in the
flesh and the buckle under the left ear
was similarly buried
The bed had not been disturbed. ON
