SOUTHERN HIT • BY ALABAMA License to Do Business in the State is Revoked. NEW LAW IS VIOLATED i _______________ i Action Has No Connection With Present Fight Before Federal Courts But May Beach That Stage. A Montgomery special says: The li cense of the Soulhern railway to do business in the state of Alabama has been revoked by action of Secretary of State Frank N. Julian, who has ! caused to be entered upon the stub of such license, in the records of his ofilce, the statement that for violation of senate bill No. 86, approved March, 1907, and effective July 1, just passed, the said South:rn railway has been deprived of its right to do business in the state. it is also a fact that the action of the secretary of slate is not in resist- ! anco to restraining orders issued by the United States court of the fifth circuit, as this luw is not among those combatted by the railroads and not In cluded in any of the litigation now pending in the court of Judge Thom as G. Jones of the middle Alabama district. Hence the situation is not j that of conflict of the slate and the \ federal tribunals. While it may come ! to this in the end, tin re is nothing of it yet. The case upon which the revocation was made catne from the circuit court of Taladega county, in the shape of a uotlflcatiou from Clerk J. U. McN'eel that a suit had been removed from the state court to the federal. Secre tary of State Julian looked carefully into the law and found that there was nothing else to do but mark the license cancelled, as the action of the statute is automatic. So far there is no contest between at least, there is no contest be:ween the state and the federal court. It is also hard to figure out just how the matter will come to a hi ad, as the Southern does not run into Montgom ery and service in any sort of con tempt proceedings would have to made on tile line of the road somewhere, it ; is thought. The act requires that after July 1, every corporation outside the state shall pay a license of $lO a year, for the balance of this year, six months $5; Unit the secretary of state shall keep a complete record of moneys col lected, and that it will be unlawful for any corporation to do business ; In the state without paying this li cense. Section 4 provides that when any foreign corporation is sued in the state courts and removes such suit from the state to the federal court, the clerk of the court from which the removal was taken will at once cer Ufy such action to the secretary of state, “who shall thereupon immedi ately cancel said license and make and enter upon the stub thereof an order iu substance: ‘This license is c&uci led for a violation of the act under which issued by the removal of a civil cause from the court of this slate to the federal court.' ” This shall Ike evidence of the revocation of the license in any court of the state. It also says that after such revocation “a*iy contract .agreement or undertak ing with or by or to such corporation shall be utterly null and void.” After a license is canceled in this way it can only be renewed by the payment to the secretary of state of a sum iu cash equal to one-tenth of one per cent of the capital stock.’ After rent wal in the way indicated the new license can be revoked iu the same way aud for the same reason as the otC.

Arcussd to Ljn thing Spirit Over Murders of Women and Little Girls. Three Men Mobbed. Another murderous assault was add ed Sunday to the police record of re cent crimes agaiust defenseless wo men and girls* in New York. Tee vic tim was Miss Ellen Bulger, a woman of middle age, who was attacked in her aparcment3 in the Bronx, cruelly beattu, and left in a helpless state. The woman was removed to a hospi tal,where it wa3 found that her skull had apparently been fractured, her face and hands lacerated, and her body otherwise braised. Thera was evi dence that the woman had made a courageous light. From what the po lice were able to learn from her, she was surprised by a 3tuoo h-faced stran ger, perhaps forty years of age. He was ceatless and wore an outing shirt and dark trousers. He escaped. The dangerous temper of the peo ple, particularly in the foreign quar ters, who had ben arcussd by the re ports of attacks upon women and girls was exhibited Sunday night in repeat ed Instances. A cry that a stranger had approached a child with familiar ity was enough to star; a mob. Sadie Hamberger, aged eight years, playing in the hallway of her tene ment home in East Fifty-ninth street, late in the evening, cried out that a man had seized her. The child s fa ther seized George Keshner, a Rus sian bookbind r, by the throat. The excitement attracted 500 men and wo men, who fought with each other- to get a chance at tna—Hussian. Thirty policemen rescued Keshner, bleeding from a score of wounds, when all his clothing but his shoes had been torn from him. The poiice wrapped the prisoner in a blanket and hurried him away. Sadie's sister corroborated the story of the attack, and the father says that he saw his daughter in th 9 grasp of the Russian. About the same time Hyle Saloda, nearly lost his scalp iu Thirty-fourth strtet. He was accused of having of fered pennies to a girl of 12 years. The father wanted to know why, and Saloda showed fight. He slashed about him with a pen knife, and then knocked down a po liceman. A crowd of perhaps a thou sand persons attempted to reach Sa loda, but police reserves beat them back and took Saloda to the station. Louis Concalia was the victim of vircunistances. A man and wife quar reled iu One Hundred and Seventh street, and their youthful daughter went out to the sidewalk and wept. A passing boy slapped her, and ran away. The girl’s cries and the running boy aroused the neighbors, who chas ed the lad. The boy escaped and Oon- colia, who had outfooted other pur suers, was mistaken by the mob for the glri’s assailant. Overtaken ai last Concolia was set upon and knocked down and kicked until he was nearly dead. The police rescued him after he was dang rcusly injured. This wave of crimes against women and children has reached a stage where severe measures are called for. Acting Police Commissioner O'Keefe late Sunday issued orders directing that every plain clothes officer on the force lay aside all other work and devote himself entirely to an attempt to brlug to justice the perpetrators A FRENCH RAILWAY HORROR.

The only way to control the Missouri River is to plough it up. That is the opinion of C. Eacrett, of Strahan, la., who has unburdened his mind on the subject of the improvement of that incorrigible stream, which has been bothering him for years. Mr. Eacrett’s plan is to plough up the bottom of the river, and the cur rents created thereby will do the rest, he says, toward scouring out a channel In which boats of the heavi est draught might navigate. The Congressional committees had never thought of this before and the new inland waterways commis'- sion, which just organized today, may take up the idea for consideration more or less seriously. The Eacrett idea, to go more into detail, is to construct a boat of light draught, fitted out with implements something like a “lister plough which is the kind used on big farms of the west, to be fastened on long beams that could be raised and low ered from the stern of the boat. The boats are to ply up and down the river, stirring up the mud and sand, thus allowing the currents to clean it out and make a well defined chan nell. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. What Strawberries Really Are. The pulpy portion of the straw berry is not really a fruit or even a berry, but it is a cluster of dry seeds slightly imbedded in a mass of pulp. The little seeds are the true fruit. It is surprising that the pulp en larges, that it does not remain small and dry. By some wise provision of nature the pollen not only directly gives life to each seed on which it falls, but also stimulates the surround ing portion.of the receptacle (orig inally small and hard) to grow into the soft, juicy and luscious form SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over. , “When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and bil iousness much of the time, but when I went to vi6lt a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. “I gave up coffee entirely, and the result has been that I have been en tirely relieved of all my stomach and I nervous trouble. “My mother was just the same way. We all drink Postum now and, without coffee in the house for 2 years, we are all well. “A neighbor of mine, a great cof fee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an in valid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. “At last I persuaded her to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so. and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she nev er feels the least bit of pain in her side, in fact, she has got well, and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. “I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in its place.” “There's a Reason.” Look in pkg. for the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.'* FINE IMPOSED IS $29,240,000 Standard Oil Company Given Tre mendous Whack b/Judge Landis. Decision is Rendered in Notorious Rebating Case —Rockefeller's Corporation De clared Worse Than Counterfeiters. Judge Kennesaw M. Lmdis, in the United Slates district court at Chi cago fined the Standard Oil company of Indiana $29,240,000 for violations of the law against accepting rebates from railroads. The fine is the larg est ever assessed against any individ uals or any corporation in the history of American criminal jurisprudence, and is slightly mere than 131 times as great as the amount received by the company through its m bating op erations. The case will be carried to the higher courts by the defendant company. The penalty imp6sed upon the com-’ pany is the maximum permitted un der the law, and it was announced at the end of a long opinion in which the methods and practices of the Stan dard Oil company were mercilessly scored. The judge, in fact, declared, in his opinion, that the officials of the Standard Oil company who were re sponsible for the practices of which the corporation was found guilty, were no better than counterfeiters and thives, his exact language being: “We may as well look at this sit uation squarely. The men who thus deliberately violate this law, wound society more deeply than dees he who counterfeits the coin cr steals letters from the mail.” Judge Landis commenced reading his decision at 10 o'clock and occu pied about one hour in its delivery. He reviewed the fac g in the case, took up the arguments of attorneys for the defense, and answered them and then passed judgment on the com pany, which he dec.ared violated the law for the sole purpose of swelling its dividends. The court held that the roads have no mere right to make a secret rate for a shipper than a board of assess ors would have to makg a secret as sessment of any particular piece of property. The court expressed regret that the law failed to provide m:re serious pun ishment than a fine, out insisted that the penalty should be sufficiently targe to act as a deterrent and not of such a size as to encourage the defender to persist in lawlessness. At the conclusion of h s opinion ar.d after announcing the amount of the fine, Judge Landis directed that a spe cial grand jury be called for the pur pose of inquiry into the ficts in the Chicago and Alton Railroad company, it having been proved in the case just closed that the oil company accepted rebates from that corporation. This jury is summoned for August 14. This decision of Judge Landis arous ed almost as much public interest as did the presence of John D. Rocke feller and the other officials of the Standard Oil company in the court room on July 6. The crush wa3 so great that a large force of deputy marshals had much difficulty in con trolling the crowd that was anxious to force its way into the courtroom. The case will be appealed and it is expected that it will be heard during the January term of the United States court of appeals. Under the seven indictments still pending against the Standard Oil com. pany an additional fine amounting to $88,440,000 may be levied against the company if it is found guilty on trial. There are in these seven indictments a total of 4,422 counts, and the maxi mum fine in each suit would be $20,- 000. NEW ATTORNEY FOR THAW.
