ALABAMA LAW
KNOCKED OUT
Federal Court Makes Perma-
nent Injunction Grant
ed Railroads.

Montgomery. Ala, March 2-lh
sweeping decision making permanent
the preliminary injunction issued last
August, Judge Thomas c. Jones of the
federal court of Alabama. middle dis
trict. declared that acts which sought
to prevent the railroads of the state
from going into the federal court were
unconstitutional. and that the anti
railroad acts of the Alabama legisla-
ture should be suspended pending an
investigation of the complaints of the
railroads that the acts were conf1sca-
tory.
Judge Jones declares in the opinion
that the issue of state rights is not in
volved in the issue now in the federal
court. The opinion says
life would be intolerable in any
government claiming to be at all free
wherein the citizens had no redress
against wrongs done by officials in the
name of the state.
1.-THE constitution itself. it is held
gives the federal court the right to
pass upon such questions, and the rea
objection to its exercise is therefore
an objection TO the principles of tbs
Union"
The effect of the decision is to de-
clare unconstitutional a greater par
Of the railroad code adopted by the
state legislature and to suspend al
rate acts until the justice of the rates
can be determined.

FOUL MURDER OF 4 WOMAN
Body of Unknown, With Throat Cut,
Found in a Pit in Cemetery
at Arlington, Mass.

Arlington, Mass, March 2S.-The
body of an unknown woman, with the
throat cut and showing many indica-
tions of murder. was found in a pit in
st. Paul's cemetery by two boys to-
dag. The condition of the body
seemed TO indicate that the woman
had been dead for several hours.
The woman's head had been nearly
severed from the body. There were
apparently two wounds on the neck,
both made by sharp instrument, one
on the right side and the other on the
left, nearly meeting under the chin.
It is believed that the woman was a
resident of either Cambridge or So
merville.
There was no trace of a weapon
near the place where the body was
found, but there were evidences Of a
struggle on the ground.
The woman evidently was about p
years of age. of slight build and about
feet inches in height. The body
was clothed i'm a dark gray skirt, blue
coat, with a hat of straw trimmed
with red flowers.
Residents in the neighborhood stat
ed today that no cries were heard dur
ing the night.

PROHIBITIONISTS IN ARMS.

Ephraim. March 2s.-An earnest body
of citizens held a meeting in the library
room of the Snow academy Thursday
night to discuss the proposition of hav-
ing the liquor traffic abolished in this
city. The question was discussed in all
its phases and while there was some
slight differences of opinion as to meth
DDS, the meeting was unanimous in ia
vor of closing the saloons.
II was contended that the revenue OBJ
tanned from the traffic was a small item
when compared with the harm that was
done men, young and old, who form a
habit of drinking intoxicants, and spend
ing their miney for whiskey; that the
money brought into town by stu
dents, who would be attarcted
here in case there were no saloons,
would many times offset the amounts
lost on license account; that the money
spent for whiskey would find its way into
other channels of trade and that the
men engaged in the %1lOon business
would enter in other lines that would be
more beneficial to the community and to
themselves Save the boys" will be the
guiding star In the fight
committee was appointed to aScer-
tain if anything can be done locally in
lis direction at the present time, and

to offset an organization to fight for the
state prohibition or county local option at

EMPEROR DOES .
not POST THEM
German Foreign Office Often
Placed in Embarrassing
Position.

Berlin, March 2s.-The foreign Office
is practically silent today regarding
Emperor Williams messages to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in regard to the ap-
pointment of DIR. David Jayne Hill to
succeed Charlemagne Tower as Amer
lean ambassador TO Germany. 1t has,
however, given an indication TO the
Berlin newspapers that Mr. Tower is
not to be attacked, and it explains that
its denials of the past few days have
only been intended 10 make clear that
no official expressions adverse to DR..
Hill gave gone through the usual chan
nels of the German government to
Washington
An experienced observer said today
that the explanation of the disavowals
of the foreign Office in the matter of
the appointment of DR. Hill was 10 be
found in the desire of the responsible
officials of this department to have the
emperor always keep it notified of his
important communications to ambassa-
doris This is the traditional practice,
but the emperor occasionally fails to
observe it.
Some Former Incidents.
One such instance occurred in June
of 1906, when his majesty told General
De LacroiX, the French delegate to the
wedding of the German crown prince,
his views concerning the Moroccan sit
uation. These were not communicated
10 Chancellor Won BuelOW. and he did
not hear of them until the following
September, and then through the
French foreign office. Other and less
important instances of this custom
have occurred since. The chancellor
and the foreign secretary take the pu-
sition that they cannot be officially in
formed o. the emperOr's acts unless he
informs them himself. Applying this
rule to the present instance, the for
eign office declined to recognize the
fact that Emperor William sent mes
sage 10 President Roosevelt through
Mr.. Tower. although it may have been
known indirectly that such was the
case. The foreign office up TO today has
acted solely upon its own records.
1t is now understood that his majesty
has been communicated with and. as d
result. it is likely that the foreign Of
nee will modify its attitude on the re-
ceipt of instructions from Venice.

STATEMENT OF WELLS.
Explosion Occurred at 2 O'clock a.
M. as He Lay Sleeping.

Denver. Colo, March 2S-The folliw-
ing statement was given to the Asso-
ciated Press over the long-distance tel
ephone this afternoon by General
Buckley Wells regarding the attempt
to assassinate him at Pandora, near
Telluride, this morning:
An attempt was made to kill me
shortly after o'clock this morning, as
I lay sleeping in my bed on the open
sleeping porch, directly above the din
ing room in the large frame building
OF the Smuggler-Union mine at Pan
dora, used for offices and living quar-
tiers for myself and family. That l WAS
not killed was due to the fact that the
force of the dynamite used was mostly
downward instead of upward, the floor
beneath the bed offering but little re-
siStance.
The explosion wrecked the bed, tore
the mattress and bed clothing TO shreds
and hurled me fully fifteen feet across
the sleeping porch, rendering me tenn
porarily unconscious and deaf. as well
as decorating my face and head The

NOT TO BE DOUBTED.

Cologne, March 2S.-The Gazette to-
night, in referring TO allegations pub
lished in various newspapers that AM
bassador Charlemagne Tower has
adopted an incorrect course in the
matter of the refusal of the emperor
TO accept David Jayne Hill as the new
ambassador to Germany, prints an ev-
identity inspired dispatch from Berlin,
in which il says:
"Our respect for the position of the
ambassador of a friendly power should
make us very careful in adopting such
criticisms"
The dispatch concludes with the fol-
lowing authoritative statement of the
foreign office:
There is no ground to doubt the
good faith of Ambassador Tower in the
entire affair"

RULES OF HOUSE INVOLVED
Aldrich Currency Bill Bumps Into an
Obstruction Entailing
Slight DELAY.

Washington. March 2S.-The Aldrich
currency bill failed to reach the house
today. as was expected. This failure
was due to the fact that the rules Of
the house forbid the receipt of mes
sages from the senate when the latter
body is not in session. The senate ad-
journed yesterday until next Wednes-
day, thus postponing for two days the
official transmission of the news of its
action to the lower body. This point
had never been raised within the past
six weeks.
Up to that time senate bills had
gone to the house regardless Of wheth-
er the senate was in session or not.
Mr.. Bartlett of Georgia has made
points of order against the receipt of
messages from the senate under these
circumstances since the present ses-
sion began, and the speaker has ad-
vised the senate not to send bills over
when the senate was not sitting.

SAN FRANCISCO
BRIBERY CASES
Ruef Files Another Affidavit
Calhoun and Ford
Give Bail.

San Francisco, March 2s.-Abraham
Ruef today filed a voluminous affida-
witt through which he seeks to dis
qualify Superior Judge Frank h.
Dunno from presiding in the so-called
Parkside trolley franchise bribery
cases. in which Ruef is a joint defend
ant with w l. Brobeck, G. f. limb
sen and Joseph e. Green, prominent
real estate men. Ruef is to be placed
on trial on these cases next Monday
morning before Judge Dunno. In his
affidavit Ruef alleges bias and pre1u-
dice on the part of Judge Dunno, and
sets forth instances in which Dunno
showed his antipathy, bias and pre1u-
dice toward the defendant, who de-
clares that he cannot have a fair and
impartial trial before him. The affi-
davit practically is a history of Ruefs
many appearances in Judge DUNES
court.
Failed to File Affidavit.
Judge Dunno failed to file an affida-
Wit with Judge Lawlor this morning
with reference to his alleged promise,
as claimed by Ruef. that he would al
low the latter to withdraw his plea of
guilty TO the charge of extortiOn,
which. however, was nullifed by the
decision of the district court of ap-
peals and sustained by the supreme
court.
Judge Lawlor continued the matter
of closing the evidenciary showing of
both sides on Ruef's motion to set
aside his arTaignment on the United
Railroad trolley franchise indictments
until next Tuesday.
Patrick Calhoun and TREY L. Ford
of the United Railroads today gave
BAH before Judge Lawlor upon the
three duplicate indictments returned
against each this week by the new
grand jury. Ford is to be placed on
trial next week for the third time.

THOMAS NOW IN COMMAND
Rear Admiral Evans En- Route to
San Luis 0bispo, California,
for Treatment.

Washington. March 2S.-Admiral
Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet,
is on his way from Magdalena bay to
San Francisco, aboard the Connecti-
cut Arriving at San Francisco, he
will proceed at once to San Luis Obs
pc by rail, there to take treatment at
q mineral springs resort. The Con-
necticut will return to Magdalena bay
at once, stopping at San Diego on her
way. She will join the feet, which
will come up the coast under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Thomas. This
information was received at the navy
department late today by wireless.
Rear Admiral Evans will assume
command of the feet when il reaches
San Diego.
San Diego, Cal, March 2S.-The news
that the flagship Connecticut had been
detached from the fleet at Magdalena
bay to bring Admiral Evans to San
Francisco for course of treatment at
San Luis Obispo, was received here
with considerable apprehension. Reas-
surfing reports regarding the admiral
health have been coming from Magda-
lena bay during the past ten days, but
the fact that IL is deemed necessary TO
bring him north two weeks in advance
of the fleet is taken to indicate that his
condition is not all that could be
wished for. Elaborate plans for the
entertainment of Admiral Evans and
the officers and the men of the feet
have been made here and at Los An
geles, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and
San Francisco, and If the admiral is
not able to participate in some degree
at least I'm the shore entertainments,
there will be much disappointment all
along the coast.

brief stop here today and addressed
one of the largest open-aIr meetings
seen i'm Wheeling for some time. Hist
remarks were chiefly on the money
question in connection with the BUSH
ness depression. Bryan referred to the
panic of 1898, which, he said, was called
a Democratic panic because Democrats
we're in power.
IF it was logic then, why should it
not be logic now TO call the present
panic the Republican panic2'

should not be blamed for everything.
The Republican leaders in 1896 cried
that we had enough of the money, that
we did not want mines. but mills. Why,
if we had enough money then, and
there is a greater per cent per capita
now, are they running printing presses
at Washington to issue more money
They have had eleven years to open the
mills. The proof of political pudding
