Alabama Looks for Thrilling
Denouement in tbe Strug
gle With the Railroad
IS PREPARED TO
ORDER MANY ARRESTS
It Is Pretty. Certain That Aid fjouth
ern Will Not Halt Business, and
on flic Other Hand That No Ar
rests Will be Made Before Tomor
row Southern's Lawyers Hold a
Conference Which Ends ; Only
With the Dawn-Each Side Seems
Waiting for the Other to Move.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Montgomery, Ala., Ausr. 6. Gov
ernor Comer says that he will call
out Alabama troops stationed at
Pickett Springs, near here, if neces
sary today t enforce "outlaw" act
against Southern Hallway.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 6. As
the grey of early dawn streaked the
eastern horizon, five eminent law
yers, champions of the Southern
Railway, tt.rned out the lights in
their su. to in tho new Exchange
Hotel after a conference that had
lasted from 10 o'clock last night.
All Alabama and tho south await
the firing of tho first gun. It may
go off totyy, or firing lines may not
be advanced an inch in either direc
tion before? tomorrow.
It seems utterly Impossible to ob
tain knowledge of the modus that
will bo followed In the struggle.
Certain it is, the state officials are
looking for any possible move, while
the railway lawyers are strengthen
ing their positions either to attack
or defend themselves and their com
pany. If the facts of the present
status were bared, It Is pretty cer
tain that It would be found one side
Is waiting for Vhe other to move.
Wltli this Idea In view, the Hearst
Newsservice man, acting as a neutral
envoy, Informed the railway officials
to this effect. It will, In all proba
bility result In a conference between
the officials of tho Southern and the
governor and his staff: This may
be hold today. It is pretty certain
that the matter cannot be compro
mised, so the state looks for a thrill
ing denouement of the struggle be
tween the Alabama authorities and
the Southern Railway Wednesday.
Several companies of militia and
cavalry are stationed for their sum
mer outing at Pickett Springs, two
miles from Montgomery. These sol
diers will be utilized tomorrow If the
governor decides to begin tho ar
rests of railway employes and labor
ers. No bloodshed Is anticipated,
however.
It is pretty certain that the South
ern will not halt business. This
was decided at the conference last
night. Tho lawyers hold the act
under whkh the Southern was dis
franchised unconstitutional and
that the railway can lose none of Us
rights by the operation of an uncon
stitutional law.

FOR THE PERMANENT
COURT AT THE HAGUE
(By HAYXE DAVIS.)
The Hague, Aug. 6. Tho Amer
ica proposal for tho establishment
of a permanent court at The Hague
is being discussed by a special com
mittee today. There is every rea
son to believe that the institution
of a permanent court is assured.
The proposal Is acceptable to all the
great powers, and while difficulties
have arisen In connection with, the
appointment of a judge which will
probably prevent the adhesion of
some of the smaller countries, the
court will be established. ,
There is need for the tribunal.
Great Britain and Amerlc.-i aloiio
have enough cases to - keep it busy
for a number of years. There is no
doubt that once the court is in force,
the Influence and reputation it -will
pstablish will attract the countries
who now hesitate to take part in its
establishment.
A number of the 'delegates hero
are ill, some of them so seriousl;' as
to keep them In bed. ThJ continual
round of banquets and tho unusual
ly damp climate have caused a gen
eral Indisposition which has not
done much In the way of keening
the tempers In normal form. Much
of. the recent quarclF.ome nature ex
hibited at meetings was directly
traceablo to the delegates being out
of sorts.
