Vigorous Language Used in DenOuncing Tactics of
 Well Known Citizens
CLAIMS THEY ARE
 LODGING THE ISSUES
Says Victory for Henderson Will Mean Perpetuation of Same Inter- ests in Control During the
 Past Four Years

Former Gov B. B. Conner yesterday made public an open letter signed by him self and addressed to some we'll known men of Alabama in which he uses the most vigorous language yet employed in his run-off race with Charles Henderson for governor. Governor Comers state ment is as follows:
 'To Charles Henderson and his sponsors,
 Frank Glass, Emmet ONeal, Charles
 Lewis and the Louisville and Nashville
 Railroad:
 Your statelment that I had, or at tempted to have cotton mills exempted from taxation during my administratio which you are publishing all over the state; and your further statement that secured through special legislation a 50-cent coal rate to my mills at Sylacauga: and the further statement that I swindled the old soldiers out of part of their money are absolutely false, and all of you know it.
 Dodging the Real Issue
 The real issues of this campaign you are dodging. They are known of all men and are:
 That Governor O'Neal surrendered the state of Alabama to Charles Lewis, rep there is one sin against the Holy Ghost, one sin more heinous than all the rest, this conduct of O'Nea1 was that sin.
 That Sam Kennedy, representing Charles Henderson as his campaign man. ager, and Win sheehan, editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, Frank Glass S other paper, went to Nashville to meet Charles Lewis and there bargained with the chief of the liquor bosses to switch the liquor vote from Captain kolb to himself and to finance the Henderson campaign. and in return obligated Charles Henderson. if elected governor, to take care of the liquor interests and it's CO., horts, who have infested the state capitol for the last four years.
 That Governor O'Neal, a bond-servant of the allied interest, said he would name the next governor, and has selected Hen derson as his candidate; Charles Lewis and the Louisville and Nashville railroad being the other vouchers of Mr Hender- son, who have agreed to serve them just as O'Neal has served them.
 Surrendered Rights of People
 That Charles Henderson and Governor O Neal in their corrupt surrender to the Louisville and Nashville railroad. gave away S3,00o,000 or more of the people s property in the shape of coupons and ex- cess freight charges But what is a thou sand times worse, they surrendered the right of the people to final decree from the United States supreme court. after the states lawyers had advised them the de- cree was sure to be in favor of this state just as the same issue had already been decided in favor of Arkansas, Missouri and Minnesota
 That this surrender to the Louisville and Nashville railroad was corrupt bargain by which the rights of the state and the property of the citizens were ex- changed for the railroad support of MT. Henderson in his race for governor.

Might Mean Change in Ownership

The objections that have been raised to, the contract in its present shape may result in the purchase of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company by the Alabama Power company. That com pany has already bought several electric car lines and electric companies in the state. located in cities where the Alabama Power company proposed to sell power
 The whole proposition has many angles and it is difficult to forecast what will result. However. Sperling & Co.,, of Lon don. the Alabama Power company, the American Cities. Betrom. Griscom & Meek and others, including local interests, have . say 80 in the matter, which may event. ually be wound up in the courts.
 Tn the meantime the Alabama Power company is ready to deliver electricity to tho Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company at Spaulding The latter company is not ready. however. to re- ceive that current. Tho Alabama Power company will give party today at Ocam- DO for local prominent citizens to inspect tho operations. They will leave at ! o'clock and return tonight.

Because Of the changed conditions,

to conduct the business along ecOnomi-

now to improve the standard of their

brisk, the shortage in Europe helping
to stimulate the market Wool is be-
ing contracted for at from y to IA

The Landing season Just approaching

PECOS VALLEY MAN
CONSERVING RANGE

Artesia, n. NJ, March IS S. Ward,
owner Of the Flying H ranch, is set
ting an example for the stOcIxDen of
southwestern New Mexico, by taking
the initiative IN range conservation. He
has just completed a lease of $4,000
acres from the Gentry tract near. Weed,
for a period of six months d1iriIle
which time he will move his cattle to
this tract, thus giving a 10000 acre
tract he leases from the state, time to
renew. The six months growth of
grass at this time Of the year will al
low it to go to seed and thus insure
a heavy supply Of winter feed
The leasing of the additional land
and the moving of his herds will cost
ward several thousand dollars, but he
believes the cost will be small in com
parison when the benefits he will reaD
are considered. Cattlemen of this sec
ton will watch Wards innovation with
interest.

ton and discussion a long series OF the
most humane and praiseworthy resolu-
tons were drafted.
These resolutions, however never
came to anything and the congress
broke up without their being officially
adopted or receiving the signatures Of
the plenipoten ;iaries. The fiasco of the
conference was attributable to Prince
Bismarck and to the German military
authorities, who took strong exceptions
to the definition of the president Of
the congress as to what really Consti-
tuted prisoner of war. Baron Jominl,
whose Sympathies were distinctly
French and who was consequently in
bad odor at Berlin. put forward the
pretension that prisoners OF war are
not merely the enrolled soldiers and
sailors correctly uniformed and organ
lied regimentaly but also any civilian,
either man or woman, who on the APP
proach Of the enemy has taken up arms
spontaneously 10 oppose the progress
of the invader"
Naturally this argument did not find
grace with the principal commanders
Of the victorious German army of the
war Of 1901. Foo throughout that
sanguinary campaign the invaders had
refused TO recognize as helligerents
either the francs tireurs or any of the
civilian population who were found
with arms in their hands without be-
ing regularly enlisted in some regiment
| and subject to military discipline.
Wholly forgetful of the fact that on
the occasion Of the German war OF lib
Grafton Of 1913 Frederick William III.
of Prussia had called upon every man
woman and youth IN Germany to take
mp arms against the French foe within
the borders Of the father'and and tc
defend by all and every means in their
power their hearth and home against
| the enemy, the Berlin authorities
claimed that every French peasant who
sought to defend his hearth and homo
was not a beligcrent but a bandit an
outlaw and as such entitled to no con-
sideratlon of humanity Of treatment
Thousands OF such men, boys and ever
women were brought before drum
