the state without compensation would ex- ceed in amount the value of the materials removed and that under the laws of Ala bama no person or domestic corporation is prohibited from removing cases to the federal courts whenever the laws of the United States permit such removal
 It is pointed out that the purpose of the act is not to regulate the admission of foreign corporations because 1t pro- vides how such corporations may inn nediately be reinstated upon the payment of heavy penalties, and that the state of Alabama having admitted 1t to do busi- ness within the state under certain terms and provisions with which it has conn piled prior to March 4, 1907, cannot law fully deprive it of the right to remove a case to a federal court It points out the penalties that might be visited upon its agents if the officers charged with the duty by said statute be permitted to can eel the permit or attempt so to do
 The prayer of the bill is for an injunc- ton to restrain the secretary of state from attempting to cancel It's permit to do business and to restrain the clerks from certifying the fact of the removal of the cases from the state to the federal court and that said statute be declared uncon- stitutional and void.
 Judge Jones' Order.
 The order in the case entered by Judge Jones Is as follows:

Averments of the Bill.


 The bill alleges that the Western Union Telegraph company is incorpor- ated under the laws of New York, and also sets up an act of Congress ap- proved July 24, 1866, entitled An act to aid in the construction of the tele- graph lines and to secure to the gov ernment the use of the same for postal military and other purposes" and by the acts of Congress that the tele- graph company is required to transmit for the Secretary of War of the United States the results of observations of signal stations and reports for the weather bureau department for f1e government of the United States.
 It then proceeds to show that at the present time it's system of telegraph lines comprise 192,OO0 miles of poles and cables and over 900,O00 miles of wire, and that 1t transmits yearly about 65,000,0 900 messages for the public and for the government of the United States anf for foreign governments that it's lines within Alabama are upon the pub lie domain and the military and post roads of the United States only. and that its lines are part of the postal routes and part of the postal estab- lishment of the United States, and that the company is under the duty to transmit messages for the government between points within the state as we'll as with respect to interstate messa ges; that a large percentage of the people of Alabama are dependent
 Recites Bringing of Suits.
 It then recites the bringing of three suits in the city court of Birmingham and in the circuit court of Jefferson coun- ty, each of which seeks to recover more than 5000 damages and that it has filed petition for the removal of said cases. The bill then recites the passage of an act of the last legislature which seeks to prevent the removal of cases from the state courts to the federal court by pro- any foreign corporation to do business in this state in the event such foreign corporation shall remove a case from a state to a federal court. It recites that prior legislation in Alabama giving pow CTS to telegraph companies and allowing foreign corporations to do business in All abama upon the payment of stipulated fees and it is averred that such prior legislation provided that a foreign cor poraton could be admitted to do business in Alabama upon the payment of certain

Greater Birmingham Meeting.-Tht

Greater Birmingham Meeting.-The special committees on Greater Birming- ham from the Commercial club and Board of Trade of Birmingham have been called to meet in the rooms of the latter organization in the First Nation al bank building this afternoon at o'clock. All citizens interested in the Greater Birmingham movement are invited to attend. Plans of campaign are to be discussed.
 Unique Receipt Shown.-John Wright, who lives at 1922 St. Charles street, was exhibiting unique document down town yesterday. It was receipt which read as follows: Received of Million Hardaway, eight pounds, six shillings and three pence, one farthing in full of his crop for the year 1767 Peter Nunnelly. February 4th day, 1769." MT. Wright states that the receipt was given to an ancestor of Mrs. Wright in Brunswick county, Virginia.
 Investigating Fires.-Chief Bennett of the fire department is conducting an investigation of the two fires which cured Sunday morning between 10 and II o'clock. It will be recalled that in quick succession Sunday morning fires broke out in the clothing store of Men ter & Rosenbaum, 201S First avenue, and in the store of T. c. King, on First avenue, between Nineteenth and Twen- tieth streets. The origin of the two fires is very indefinite. hence the in- vestigation. Capt. R. F. Manly stated yesterday that the report that the fire started in his office was mistake, as the flames did not even get into his rooms. The origin appeared to be in the adjoining building.
 Will Investigate Sherif's Offce.-On next Monday morning the January grand jury will reconVene after several weeks recess, an dnext Tuesday is the date set for an investigation of the charges of irregularities against the sheriff's office. The investigation will be made in compliance with a request of Sheriff Higdon and on the recom- mendation of the last grand jury. It will be recalled that the last grand jury returned a minority and ma jority report, the minority report con- taining scathing criticism of the pres ent administration. When this report was made public Colonel Higdon piled to it, stating that it was but an expression of the venom of his person. al enemies, and he asked for an inves- tigation of~his office.

WESTERN UNION MOVES
 CASES FROM STATE COURT
The Secretary of State Is Enjoined From Depriving the Company of It's Permit to Do Business
 Because of Removal.

Attack has been made upon another of the acts of the last legislature The Western Union Telegraph company seeks to have declared unconstitutional the statute which forbids foreign cor porations from removing cases from the state courts to the federal court
 Judge Thomas G. Jones of the federal court late yesterday granted tenn porary injunction restraining the secre- tary of state from taking up the per init of the Western Union company to i do business in the state. The company had previously given notice of the re- moyal to the federal court of cases from both the city court of Birming- ham and the circuit court of Jefferson county in which more than S2o00 was involved.
 Judge Jones set the hearing of the injunction for February 23.
 The petition was brought by Camp bell & Johnston as attorneys for the Western Union and the style of the. bill is Western Union Telegraph company vs. Frank N. Julian, secretary of state, and John S. Gillespy, as clerk and reg ister of the city court of Birmingham. and Walter K. McAdory. as clerk of the circuit court of Jefferson county. The clerks are sued to restrain them from certifying the petition of the re- moval of the cases to the secretary of state
 It will be recalled that the bill passed by the astlegisla ture forbiddng foreign corporations from removing ca ses from the state to the federal courts was part or the corporation regulation pro- gramme and was regarded by it's ad- vocates as of great importance in bringing foreign corporations under
