Montgomery, August 13.-- Special )- ". H. Steele of Hastings. Neb.. has written Governor Conner thanking him for his fight to reduce railroad rates. He says that the reduction of fares in Nebraska has greatly increased travel.
 Traffic Is Heavy.
 "1a stngs, Neb., August 3, 1907. Governor Conner, Montgomery, Ala.
 Dear Sr-Everyone is watching with great interest the struggle be- tween you and the railroads, and hope to see the right win l expect they are putting up the same plea in your state that they have in every other state, but it Is a useless plea now. in the face of facts which have developed, since the law has had a practical test The emergency clause attached to the Nebraska law caused 1t to go into eff feet soon after its passage, and it has. therefore had a fair test It has been in operation here over six months, and l enclose you a clipping from the Hastings Evening Tribune of last night, showing how 1t is working here. The roads claimed that 1t would never be practical in a state so sparcely settled, but results have shown that they were mistaken. l do good deal of travel ing my self and l can easily see that the trains are nearly double the size they were last year With best wishes, and hoping you may win out. 1 am yours truly,
 "DR. WILLIAM H. STEELE"
 Dr. Steele also enclosed the follow ing clipping:
 There is something remarkable in regard to the unusual amount of pas senger traffic in every direction this
 1, fc morning. We add extra coaches every day and then it seems that the trains are always crowded" If all reports are true the same condition exists all over the country since the 2-cent rate has become effective in so many states. Not only are the main line trains

Railroad Situation
 Promises More Action
FRANCE AND SPAIN
 PREPARING NOTE
POLICY OF FRANCE IN MOROCCO MAY BE CHANGED FROM ORIGl. NAL PLAN-GERMANY'S CON- SENT IS DESIRED.

Paris, August 3-While il is officially declared that the French government will not extend the scope of it's action in Morocco beyond what was communicated to the powers namely. to conflne itself to the restoration of order and the or ganizatlon of the international police, it may be significant of a possible change in the attitude of France that she has declined to agree to the invitation of Spain to send a new point note to the powers reaffirming the solidarity of the views and actions of the two govern ments which matter is now the subject of diplomatic exchanges of views
 Without doubt France desires to keep within the terms of the Aigeclras con venton, but she is reluctant to join Spain in a new note to the powers in the face of situation which may force her hand. For the moment however. il Is declared that even the dispatch of fresh troops from France to Morocco has not been decided on, the mobilizatlons in Algeria and at Toulon, 1t is explained, being precautionary measures with the view of having more effective men ready in the event of a sudden emergency.
 The section of the press which is con vlneed that France must assume the task of putting an end to the existing anar chy in Morocco, believes 1t to be the duty of the government not to try to deceive itself or the world. They believe that to establish permanent order in Mo- rocco that country must be conquered Algeria was, and in order to accomplish this, the hands of France must be freed of the restrictions of the Algeciras con vention
 Therefore, the papers argue, the powers should induce Germany to give her con sent to the conquest of Morocco and then France must prepare for a long cam paign. Of course the natural sequel to the conquest, the absorption Of Morocco, is not concealed. How otherwise can Frances bill be paid? the papers ask.

 COMER'S RAILROAD POLICY

crowded. but the feeders from all the branches have a big increase in busi- ness.
 The receipts of the various ticket offices of the city sohw an increase of several thousand dollars the past month over the corresponding month last year
 With the fare cut one-third and the receipts on the incerase it can easily be seen that the amount of passenger traffice has nearly doubled.
 The cutting down of the free list has added to the receipts of the railroads beyond expectations. The railroad of fcials require conductors to enforce the payment of half-fa for all child ren who have the appearance of being over years of age, regardless of the protests of those in charge. This, too has added considerable to the revenue of the companies.
 Plea of Pardon.
