Representative Wright of Stuart
county, Georgia, has Introduced in
the Georgia legislature a bill provid
ing a penalty, for any woman who
rides astride a horse. The hill ex
empts circus riders. The author of
the measure claims that he has tho
support of the doctors of the state.
Senator Cummins of Iowa says he
will introduce in the senate a bill
which will seek to remedy the de
fects of tho commodities clause of
the Hepburn law. The Cummins bill
will be for the purpose of shutting
railroads effectively out of the busi
ness of coal mining, directly" or in
directly, by prohibiting them from
hauling coal from mines owned by
them. Under the recent decision of
the supreme court it is possible 'for
a railroad to carry coal which comes
from a mine' owned by a corporation
in which it has shares of stock. It Is
tho phrpose of Senator Cummins' bill
to shut this off. The supreme court
decision .allows a railroad to mine
coal -and transport the coal so mined,
providing it is sold to another party
before the shipment begins. Senator
Cummins says there is no Way of
preventing, this and it is for the
states to say whether railroad com
panies shall be allowed to mine coal.

no authority. o

In, tho inquiry into the circum
stances surrounding the- death by
shooting' of Lieutenant Sutton, the
government suddenly changed its at
titude and -forced the1 -mother of tho
dead lieutenant to become complain
ant against several of the officers of
the marine corps. Mrs. Sutton's at
torney Insisted that her sole object
was to clear her son's name and
that it was not fair to put her in
the position of accuser. Also, that
the .government should take the. lead
in the investigation. She was, how
ever, overruled by the court.

recommended that the liquorprohl

constitution.
Spain is facing a crisis. Associat
ed Press dispatches are summarized
in the Lincoln (Neb,) Journal as fol
lows: "The desperate condition of
Spain both at home and abroad was
disclosed when the Spanish govern
ment officially admitted the defeat
of government troops in a great bat
tle In Morocco and at the same time
reports show that Barcelonia was
completely in the hands of the rev
olutionary mob, the streets running
with blood and the Spanish artillery
using machine guns In a vain at
tempt to check the. onslaught of the
revolutionary element. Tho battle in
Morocco has brought a crushing de
feat to the Spanish forces. The cas
ualties on the Spanish side reached
3,000, giving the defeat an aspect
akin to that which the Italians met
In invading Abyssinia. The Moors
flushed with their -victory are now
advancing to attack the Spaniards at
another strategic point, Alhucemas.
The latest dispatches indicate that
Melilla, the Spanish stronghold, is
so pressed, .by 'the -Moors that its
safety is in danger and, its capitula
tion to the. Moors would not 'cause'
surprise. The internal, condition of
Spain is bordering on anarchy. Bar
celona, the siecxqnd.v largest city in
Spain and the commercial rival qf,
Madrid, is a center of riot, pillage,
tho burning of public and religious
institutions and continued bloody
fighting between the Spanish troops
and rioters entrenched behind high
barricades. The gravity of the sit
uation, as related from -points along
the Spanish frontier suggests the'
bloody days ofc' the Paris communed
The government at Madrid is meet-
ing the situation With sternly re
pressive' measures, but the reports in-
dicate that the military garrison at
the capital is disaffected and the
popular sentiment is shown by re
port that a vast crowd has held an
anti-war manifestation in front of
the royal palace."
King Alfonso of Spain is' having
trouble with his . subjects'. The situation-
in Catalonia has reached a
serious stage. The king has declared
martial law throughout Spain. 'Troops
have taken possession of Barcelonia.
Many encounters have been had and
a number of revolutionists have
.been killed.
