sWO RAILROADS
MAKE CONNECTION
AT ATMORE, ALA

Announcement was made yesterday
that physical connection has been es-
tablished between the G. F. & A. and
the L. & N. at Atmore, in accordance
with an order by the Alabama State
Railroad Commerce Commission.
Officials of the G. F. & A. stated
last night that the tracks Of the road
run around the town and not through
it. In complying with the order Of
the commission, a spur track was ex-
tended from Freemanville a short dis
lance above to the L. & N. tracks, thus
establishing connections.
For the present, only freight will
be handled over the connection, which
gas impossible heretofore as the sta
tions of the l.. & N. and the G. F. &
A. were separated about mile at
Atmore, thus necessitating drayage
charges. Under the new arrangement
freight can be routed directly.
For this reason it is considered
that the connection open to Mobile
merchants a territory which has been
exclusively tributary to Pensacola
and will necessarily make competition
keen for business in this region.

ESTABLISHMENT
SUPREME WORLD
COURT URGED

Washington, Dec. civilian Fl.
Taft was the principal speaker today
before the American Society for Ju-
dicial settlement of international dis
putes, in session here to discuss the
United States Supreme Court as a
model for an international tribunal.
The aims of the society are similar
to those of the League to Enforce
Peace, of which Mr.. Taft is presi'
dent.
Mr.. Taft spoke briefly and extern
poraneously on the functions of the
supreme court in the government Of
the United States. He concluded by
touching upon the need for supreme
world court for judicial settlements
of international disputes.
Arbitration, at present, Mr.. Taft
said, was at best compromise and he
thought the world needed a supreme
court, which would in effect be a
higher form of arbitration for ques-
lions between states.

not arrested. The boys wheel was
considerably damaged, or practically
wrecked, but Robertson received no
injuries to speak of. He was unable
to tell Officer Hoffman, who investi-
gated the accident, what the number
of the car was which struck. him.
Shortly after o'clock last night
the truck of the Marston & Quina
Company collided with automobile
No. 286, at the corner of Palafox and
Cervantes street, the auto being al
most completely wrecked. The lat-
ter was driven by man named
Buchanan. After being investigated
