WANT STRICT PROHIBITION.
That Subject Will Be Cppermost
During Special Session.

Montgomery, Ala.-Measures to
make the prohibition law more eff
fective promise to overtop everything
else in the sepcial session of the
Alabama Legislature which convened
here Tuesday. Under the constitu-
ton the governor must specify all
subject to be considered by an extra
session, and in his call he named
sixty-five subjects. Nine Of these are
prohibition laws, ranging from con-
stitutional amendment for prohibit
ton to a measure declaring places
where liquor is kept to be legal. If
any subject not provided by the call
is taken up it must be done by two
thirds vote of the law-making body.
Three constitutional amendments are
to be considered. They are for pro-
hibition, biennial instead of quadren-
NAL sessions of the legislature, and
the creation Of new counties. A long
and hard fight is expected on the eff
fort to submit constitutional
amendment. A "safe and sane lea
que has been organized with the
avowed purpose of working to de-
feat the submission and to defeat
the amendment if it is submitted.

Great Telephone TRUST
Parent Company Taking Over
Subsidiaries.
AMERICAN TELEPHONE TO CONTROL
With Growth of Telephone System
Comes Coincident Demand for
Regulation of Telephones
by StaJes.

New York.-Separate telephone
companies operating under the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, the parent organization,
have ceased, or will almost imme-
diately cease, to have individual
operative identity as result of a
plan now practically completed for
the acquisition by the parent com
pany of a majority of stock interest
in each of the subordinate telephone
companies. This is the substance of
an announcement given out from the
office of U. M. Bethel, president OF
the Bell Telephone Company of
Philadelphia; the New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company, the
New York and Pennsylvania Tele-
phone company, and vice president
and director of the New York Tele-
phone Company.
1t was stated on behalf of Mr..
Bethel that it is the purpose uf the
telephone managers to bring the tele-
phone in all parts of the United
States as nearly as possible up to
the perfection of equipment and OPP
erative efficiency of that existing in
this city, where it is declared to be
the best in the world With the
whole country as its clients, the par
ent telephone company has found, it
is explained, that many ineffective To-
cal organizations interfere with in
terstate efficiency of telephone COM
cunication.
Greater efficiency and economy of
operation is declared to be the prin
cipal object for centering admins
istrative rights in all subordinate
telephone companies in the parent
concern, though this statement has
been accepted with caution in finan-
cial circles. The stock of subordi-
nate companies has been acquired by
exchange of stock of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
for stock of the local companies.

part of the country which Is con-
trolled by Spain. The fanatical tri-
besmen have attacked the Spanish
settlements with fury that indicates
that the Casabalanca incidents and
massacres of two years ago are
likely to be repeated. While the
Spanish forces on the scene have SO
far repulsed the attacks of the
Moors, the wild tribesmen do not
appear to have been discouraged.
and continue to attack the Spanish
positions with vigor and reckless
bravery. Profiting by the expert
ence with the French, the Moors
are employing modern methods OF
attack and using in a great measure
modern weapons
1t is evident that Spain has some
thing of campaign on her hands,
that not only will it be necessary to
send a considerable force of troops
to Morocco, but a large expenditure
of money will be necessary. So seri-
Gus does the Spanish Government
consider the trouble that it con-
templates sending Lieutenant Gen
eral Weyler, of Cuban notoriety, tc
%0l T~4xr y
standing the many things said OF
Weyler's administration in Cuba, it
is not denied by his severest critics
that he is a soldier of ability and
determination. He was the author
of the the terrible 'reconcentrado'
system, which he employed with such
rigor in Cuba, and which we our
selves copied pretty closely in our
campaigns in the Philippines, and
which the British successfully imita-
ted in South Africa.
While the Spanish Government, re-
alizing the seriousness of the pro-
blem before it in North Africa, is
dispatching re-enforcements to Nor
Deco as rapidly as possible, the mass
es of the Spanish people are OPP
posed to the war, and are inaugural
ing protests and riots to display
their disapproval. Since the war
with the United States the Spaniards
have settled down to peaceful deve-
lopment, and they are now bitterly
opposed to sending their troops out
of the country for any purpose. Des-
pite this displeasure, however, the
Spanish Government Is bound to re-
enforce its forces in Morocco, no
matter at what cost.

through a resolution calling the
