 Active campaigning was cohtinued all over the State up to a late hour tor night, ward meetings being in order in nearly every city in the State.

RESOLUTION IS PREPARED

| Anniston. Nov. 4.--(Special. )--At a called meeting of the Annisfon Cham- Der of Commerce held this afternoon.
 that body placed itself on record as
 not favoring an extra session of the Alabama Legislature. which has been called by Governor Cotner for this
 week, and resolutions. presented by Henry F. DeBardeleben. were passed against any further railroad legfsia- ton at this time by the Legislature of this State.
 The following resolution. prepared by the Chamber of Commerce. will be presented to the Legislature and that body will Dc urged to pass 1t at it's opening session:
 "whereas. The people of the State of Alabama, during the campaign of 1906, signified their desire for regulation and control of the railroads. so far as pas- senger and freight traffic in the State is concerned. and
 "Whereas. Our Legislature in pursu- ance of their wishes, as expressed at the ballot box. have passed much Ieg- islatton looking to such control and regulation. and
 Whereas, The railroads claiming that said legislation is confiscafory and oppressive. and have gone Into the courts to test such legislation, as they
 had the rsgbt to do. and
 Whereas, We have full confidence in
 the integrity and fairness of our courts
 and their desire to settle such Iegtsla-
 ton between railroads and the people, and
 .whoreas. We believe that further Legislation, pending said appeals to the
 courts, would tend to create confusion
 and bring about business depression, therefore
 ''Be 1t resolved. by the House of Rep-
 resentatives. the Senate concurring.
 That this session Of rne Legislature be
 and Is hereby adjourned sine dfe."

NO TRACE YET
Of NEW Y0RK's
STRANGLER

New York. July S1.-At late hour last
night no arrests had been made in the
cases of the two women who were stran-
gled to death and whose bodies were dis
covered, one last night and the other
early today. Detectives have been un-
able to find any trace OF the murderer
or murderers.
The woman who was found dead with
necktie knotted around her throat in a
q boarding house in Twenty-second street
has been identified under several names
1t seems probable that she is Mrs. So
phia Kehrer. wife OF Jacob Kehrer of
Buffalo. The police have discovered that
she lived at different times in Brooklyn
and Jersey City.
The body was identified yesterday by
Mrsn Mamie Boyd OF 1H East Twenty
seventh street. as that of a woman who
had lived at her house under the name
OF Mrs. May Graham OF 3s Barry place.
Buffalo. Mrs. Boyd said that Mrs. Gra-
ham had two men callers. one tall
blonde, the other younger man. short
OF stature and with a scar on his face.
The police have as yet found no clue
as TO the identity OF the woman whose
body was found In an areaway In East
Ninetieth street. They believe, however,
that both crimes were committed by the
same person, as both bodies were mutt
lated In the same manner.
