ALABAMA HOLDS ALOOF
State Refuses to Have Anything to Do
With Proceedings Before Judge
Jones in Federal Court

Jones in Federal Court.
In sensational statement made Sat
urday to the United States court for
the middle district Of Alabama. in
Montgomery, Judge Thomas G. Jones
presiding, Attorney General A. NJ
CARRIER said that he did not appear
in a-swer to the application for a
blanket injunction by the Louisville
and Nashville for the reason that the
court, in an elaborate opinion, had
already given its views of the case,
and to make any effort at all would
he felt, be futile.
He said that this opinion had been
sent in pamphlet form all over the
state, one Of them having reached him
at his Office.
The incident arose over the effort
Of the Louisville and Nashville to have
a blanket injunction issued restrain
ing the solicitors and sheriffs of the
state from indicting or prosecuting fer
violation Of laws now restrained by
the federal court. Saturday had been
set down by Judge Thomas G. Jones
of the federal court for sherifs and
solicitors to reply, also for the attorn y
general to make answer, the state, in
a sense having been made party to
the proceedings.
Attorney General CARRIER said that,
in exercising the discretion granted to
The attorney general and railroad com
mission in the summons served upon
them, that the attorney general and
the counsel for the state had decide@
NOT to appear, and that they had
reached the conclusion because the
court had within a day or two after
granting the restraining order, issued
an elaborate opinion on the case be
fore counsel for the state had been
given an opportunity to argue the
questions involved in the case.
The attorney general declared that,
SO far as he knew, this action l
Judge Jones was unprecedented.
Having made his statement, Colonel
CARRIER asked to be excused from fur
Their attendance upon the court, which
request was granted by Judge Jones,
and the attorney general Immediately
left the court room.
More time being asked by some of
the solicitors, Judge Jones held up
The hearing for some days, during
which time he extended the order
made several days ago, which is in
Itself a restraint.
Later in tue day Judge Jones as
sured delegation of railroad men
who called on him at his Office that
they would be protected from indig-
mites on the part Of state officers and
if arrested by any of them for failure
to observe state railroad laws under
restraint by the federal court parties
making arrests will be at once arrest
ed and severely punished.

American Peace Propo,aI.

The American delegation at The Hague
conference, headed by Gen. Horace Por-
ter, has presented the proposition that
the bombardment of unfortifed and I'M
defended towns or buildings be forbidden,
but that such places are liable to damages
incidental to the destruction of military
or naval establishments, and are liable to
bombardment when they refuse reason
able acquisitions for provisions and sup
plies. 1t is also proposed that the bonn
bardment of unfortifed towns for the
non-payment of ransom be forbidden. The
Germans propose that hospital ships can
not be captured, not being considered as
warships, and that private hospital ships
may enjoy the same privilege as those
authorized by governments, providing that
they assist the wounded without distinc-
ton of nationality. The British propose
an international court of appeals in re-
gard to prizes captured at sea. France
proposes that the powers may appoint an
international commission of inquiry in
case of disputes of an international char
acter, the investigation to be conducted
secretly, and the reports to be made pub
lie only if both sides agree; the decis-
ion, however, not to be mandatory.

There is another body of men here

They are the Pinkerton squad. They

They loaf around the street corners,

marks the initial step toward the main
tenance of permanent fighting fleet
in the Pacific hereafter.
Whether the entire fleet of eighteen
vessels which is now destined for the
Pacific remain there or not, it is as
serted on the authority of we'll in
formed officials that the American navy
in the Pacific will never again be in
adequate to cope with any emergency
on that side of the continent unless
there is vast change in the aspect Of
international politics.
In addition to the necessity of urg-
ing upon Congress the needs of the
navy on the Pacific side, which will
now be accentuated by the presence of
the fleet there, the administration is de-
clared by close students in Washing
ton to have taken time by the forelock
in sending the fleet to the Pacific just
