Roberts, a well- known young railroad man whose home Is In Charlotte, was shot and In stantly killed here Saturday morning hy J. B. Allison, night Janitor at the rity hall. The shooting occurred In the red light district where Roberts was cresting a disturbance. Special to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 2#.—All d»y yesterday the people of this state dii- cusaed with much interest the latest move of the state authorities, In the clash with the federal court In the railroad case. But few grasped the true meaning of Attorney General Garber's refusal to appear In the fed eral court; few realized that It was simply another shrewd move of Gov ernor Comer In the Interest of state rights. Late Saturday night friends of the administration admitted that Governor Comer was acting wisely In his latest stand and stated their be, lief that the governor now has the railroads In his power. Since the ad journing of the legislature, the gov ernor has threatened to reconvene the lawmakers to prepare laws which can be enforced, but he has not let any one speak of hie strongest card, that of prohibiting the moving of freight trains In the state of Alabama on the 8abbath day. The governor knows that by holding such a law over the heads of the railroad companies he Is almost sure to force them to concede to the present demands. The poeltlon taken by the attorney general has caused much talk. Declaring that It was futile for him or other attorneys to go Into the federal court represent ing the solicitors and sheriffs of the slate, when the preeldlng Judge had already prejudged the case at Issue, the attorney general declined to ap pear for the county offlctala who were responding to the-enlarged Injunction obtained by the Loulsvltle and Nash ville railroad. Inasmuch aa the state waa not represented Judge Jones made his temporary order granting an In Junction permanent. Louisville and Nashville railroad man are much concerned as to the probability of being arrested and late Saturday night a delegation of em ployees waited on Judge Jones for the purpose of finding out whether or not the employees would In case of ar rest secure the protection of the fed eral court. Judge Jones In assuring them .protection, said: "It Is popular sentiment, or at least men think It Is popular, to talk about arresting you In violation of the orders of the court, but when they find out, aa they will, that all good citizens are Indignant at the Insult proposed to be put on you, and through rou on all other laboring men you will hear very little of It in the future. ... Moreover, the or ders of this court were not made to be disobeyed by anybody. Any one knows the duty of a Judge when an order of the court has been defied. In view of the threats which have been publicly made It Is eml nently right and may savs trouble for me to sty to you now, as I do say, that If you are arrested, you will be Immediately released on habeas corpus, and the officer making the arrest In contempt of the court will be very severely punished, so that he will remember It for a very long time, under the power Invested In this court by section 725 of the revised statutes of the United States, as soon as the officers of the court can lay their hands on him, and can hare a hearing before me. This Is a land of law and ordsr. The constitution and laws are still supreme. The public sentiment of this state and of other states and the powers of the United States are behind the orders this court has made for your protection. The Kansas City, Memphis and Blr mlngham railway today filed their for. mol petition In the United States court, asking for a modification of their In junction, so as to put Into effect the 21-2 cent passenger rate and the 110 commodity rate, thereby acceding to the request of Governor Comer, Five new United States marshals have been appointed by Marshal Jud kins.

In point of service I am the oldezt commissioner on the board, having served four yean, two of them as chairman. "I have endeavored- to do my full duty In discharging the duties Imposed on me. That I have made mistakes Is probable. The only man who never erred was crucified. It may be that we will make mistakes, but I believe they will be mistakes of the head and not of the heart. This commission comes with the big purpose of carry ing out the new law, as the old com mission endeavored .to administer the old law. The old commission asked re- peatedly for Increased powers- but the legislature failed to give. it.
