The Greek army went on strike
a few days ago. The troops involved
were those constituting the garrison
of Athens. Oficers and men were
in II. To the number Of 54S they
marched out Of the city and encamp-
ed On the outskirts. The cabinet re-
signed, a new cabinet was formed, and
the grievance of the troops was taken
under consideration. The trouble
grew out Of too much royalty. Royal
officers were claiming privileges that
were denied other officers and were
trying to reorganize the army on a
basis Of favoritism that soon became
distasteful. The mutinous troops in
sisted that all this be changed, and
that the army be re-organized by for
efgners; also that the navy be strength
ened by the addition Of an iron clad
and eight torpedo boat destroyers
All Of the demands were acceded to
by the new ministry and the king
having granted amnesty to the rebel
lious troops, they marched back into
the city.
Montgomery, Ala, August 2S: De-
claring that 1t denies equal protection
of the law and violates the state con-
stitution, Judge Thomas G. Jones of
the United States court today held
that the denying Of foreign corpora
tions the right to remove suits from
state courts to Federal courts Is void.
A damage suit by Wilbur A. Bearley
against the Louisville & Nashville
railroad company, in which the rail-
foad company transferred the case
from the Montgomery city court to
the Federal court, brought the case
up. Judge Jones holds that the law
is a denial to foreign corporations OF
equal protection; that 1t tends to i'm
pair obligations Of contracts made
by the railroads under the
valid laws of the state; and further
that 1t is a violation of section 240 of
the constitution. The preliminary in
junction was temporary, but by the
ruling of today the order restraining
the cancellation Of the license is made
permanent
