of the reports that Emperor William has
been under spiritualistic influences

that he attended spiritualistic seances ar

paper also denies the assertion that the
emperor carries in his watch case a piece
Of cloth materialized at a .spiritualistic

These reports regarding his majesty
are attributed by two provincial newspa-

Conner CRITICISES JUDGE.
Governor Questions Propriety of
Judgment by ex-Railroad Attorney.

MONTGOMERY. Ala. July An a
speech at Sampson today. Gov Conner
criticised Judge Thomas G. Jones of the
federal court, saying he believed it
would have been nearer to fairness and
justice to have allowed other than a
former railroad attorney to decide the
important Alabama railroad litigation.
Gov. Conner urged that there be no
backward step in the fight for railroad
and corporation control and the rights
Of states to administer their own affairs.
He deplored the power of inferior fed
eral courts to hold up by injunction
state laws.
He said 1t was already evident that
the railroads were laying plans to
again secure control of the state legis-
lature and place corrupt lobbes in the
capitol.
IF they succeed now in bringing
about repeal of the laws passed it
would be the worst thing that could
happen to the state" he said.
