Stockholm. Aug. s-The streets of
Stockholm today presented a lvelter
aspect than on any day since the gem
eral strike began.
Many carts and street cars were
plying their trade through the streets

they would stop all traffic.
King Gustav drove through the city
today, passing before the strikers

The gas and electric plants are
working without interruption and to-
night it seems doubtful whether the
employees of the railroads will Join the

of the strike. the workmen being dis
satisfied with the speeches and the
methods employed by their leaders in
carrying 1t on.
In many instances the strike fund Is
not strong enough to support the move
ment longer than a fortnight without
causing great distress.

Mobile. Ala, Aug. s.-Mobiie will
obey the drastic prohibition law which
went into effect today, carefully but
with many misgivings.
r. o. Hoffman. a Mobile Represent
alive in the State Legislature, said:
Public opinion is the most power
full weapon Of defense against unjust
legislation. The sentiment of the ma
iority of the people of Mobile is that
prohibition is impracticable and I'M
just. I do not rely upon my opinion
alone to support my assertion. At the
February term Of the City Court there
were eleven prohibition cases tried and
a verdict of guilty was returned in
each. One Juror openly declared that
he was opposed to the enforcement Of
the law.
.'At the June term the docket was
crowded and 95 per cent. of the special
yeniremen said they were opposed not
only to the law but to the enforcce-
ment Of IT."
In order to continue the public
schools, the city must either greatly
increase It's taxes or cut the terms
very much shorter. Prohibition has
cost the schools 100000 in revenues. :"
