Troop c Preserving Order.


 Troop c, Alabama National Guard, un- der command of Lieutenant Calhoun, with 4O-odd men, is stationed here to as- sist Sheriff Long with his 30 deputies in preserving peace and order. These sol diers are comfortably quartered In large commissary and office building, and as yet have not been called upon for acute action. It is quite an easy matter to prevent any outward demonstration as long as these soldiers and deputies are on the scene, but that is not the danger. It Is the midnight prowler, the ambushed william, the devilish dynamiter and the agging, intimdating and demonstrative assemblies that bring fear and trembling, and that disturb peaceful pursuit. This can be prevented by an application of martial law speedily.

Proposed Purchases Investigated by
Committee OF Three Disinterested
Direotors--Approved by the
Stockholders.

New York, March 2S.---As the result
of an investigation which, by no
stretch of the Imagination, could be
called cruel, r. IL. Hartman was tri.
umphantly yindicated Friday by his
associates In the directorate of the
Union Pacific. Mr. Hartman had
been accused of grating in the sale
of other railroad stocks to the Union
Pacific. II. II. Rogers and James
Stillman were similarly accused. AS
Mr.. Hartman controls the Union Pa
cific II was never felt that the verdict
would be harassingly severe. In fact,
It was not a verdict. but bouquet
While in an generating frame OF
mind the directors refused to grant
the request of certain Connecticut
stockholders to sue Hartman, Rogers
and Stillman to recover profits which
were alleged to have accrued to them
in the deal
The directors also called special
meeting of the stockholders for May
9th to authorize an issue of bonds, and
thus expressed their belief that IL Will
be possible to market an issue which
is estimated to be from SE0,000,0 900 to
$50,000,000 II was the bitterest COM
plant of railroad men throughout the
past year that the market for railroad
securities had been ruined.
The stocks sold to the Union Pacific
and the manner of selling them have
been the subject of inquiry by the
Interstate commerce commission and
MIR. Hartman refused, "by advice of
counsel" to answer direct questions
as to his interest. 1t has recently been
decided by the supreme court that he
must answer. The stocks in question
were those of the Illinois Central, the
Railroad Securities Co. and the st.
Joseph & Grand Island
The directors said the purchase was
authorized In advance and that Harri-
man, Rogers and Stillman, who had
blocks of the stocks. were excused
from voting
II was also stated by the directors
that the proposed purchases were In
vestigat ID by a committee Of three
disinterested directors, who knew the
facts and advised the purchase The
directors declared that this action had
been approved by the stockholders of
the Union Pacific.
The new bonds VIII be secured by a
mortgage on all the lines of the Union
Pacific which are now unmortgaged
These lines aggregate 1860 miles.
