OUTLAW
PERPLEXlNG RAILROAD
PROBLEM IN ALABAMA
State Troops May Be Called On
TO Arrest Employees Who.
Continue TO Run Trains With
out Charter,

fhN fNNfliNM ~ y ffhHtN " .
Birmingham. Ala. Aug 5-No Of
fetal statement VAS issued tonight Of
the conclusions reached It the con-
ference today between Governor Co
mer. Attorney General CARRIER and
the associate counsel employed by the
state administration 10 assist in III
forcing the laws affecting railroads as
TO the next steps in the case against
the Southern railway The governor
and the attorney general left for
Montgomery late this afternoon. and
a lengthy session was held by the
special counsel tonight, at which the
legal phases OF the question were gone
over. It is expected that they will
make a report TO the governor to-
morrow.
While the governor would make no
statement, his advisers let IL be known
that his advisers are determined to
enforce the state laws AT any cost
They said that IL necessary an extra
session Of she leEislaturel would be
called or troops would be- oalled out
10 see that the states commands are
obeyed. The view Is that the South
ern railway. by defying the state law
by the removal Of a case from the
state to the federal court and thereby
having its charter revoked by the see
rotary of state, has placed Itself in a
position to be dealt with as an outlaw
or mob would be dealt with.
II Is considered more than likely
that wholesale arrests will follow in
the next few days OF officials n m
ployes Of the southern, who continue
To operate the various lines in spite of
the fact that they are doing SO with
out a charter from the state.

BABY WASTED TO
MERE SKELETON
IN Torments a Year and a Half with
Terrible Sores on Face and Body
Hands Tied to Stop Scratching
and Tearing at Flesh But
CURE BY CUTICURA
COMPLETE AND SPEEDY

"My little son, when about year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. I had ply
sician treat him, but the sores grew worse
Then they began to come on his arms.
then on other parts of his body, and
then one came on his chest, worse than
the others. Then called another ,physi-.
clan. Still he grew worse: At the end
Of about a year and half of suffering
he grew so bad I had to tie his hands
in Cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk. My
aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. So great was her faith
in it that she gave me a small piece OF
Cuticura Soap to try and little
Cuticura Ointment. I took it home
without any faith, but to please her I
tried it, and it seemed to dry up the
sores little. I sent to the drug store
and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and followed
the directions, and at the end of about
two months the sores were all well. he
has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now. strong and healthy,
and I can sincerely say that only for
YOUR most wonderful remedies my pre-
cious child would have died from those
terrible sores. used only one cake OF
Soap and about three boxes OF Ointment.
