THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, SEPTK1IHKK 14, 150T. OUT _0f_ COURTS Demurrer That Roads Did Not Make Governor a Defendant. The state li ready to begin the legal battle to maintain the reduced passen ger rates in the courts Monday. It seems probable now that the At lanta and West Point case, set for a hearing before Judge Kills, In Fulton (uperlor court, Monday morning at 10 o'clock, will have to go over for a day or so. Cases already under way will so over to Monday, preventing the in junction case of the Atlanta and West Point coming up then. In the Federal court Monday morn ing at 10 o'clock the Central Injunction petition will be heard before Judge W. T. Newman. In this case Attorney General J. C. Hart and Attorney W. A. Wlmblsh will appear for the state. In the state court Judge J. K. Hines and Hon. Hooper Alexander will fight for the state's In terest. It Is understood that demurrers have been prepared In both cases, seeking to have the cases thrown out of court. In the Federal court the demurrer will set up It Is understood, that the attorney general is not a party at Interest; that he can not bei enjoined, because he is not the accredited attorney of the com mission, and acts only when especially directed by the governor. In the state court Judge Hines, at torney for the commission, will proba bly demur on the ground that the at tempt to enjoin the railroad commls slon is In error: that under the law that the commission has power only to pass orders, and that the enforcement of same then passes from their hands Into the governor’s. In other words, the state bases Its tight on the ground that the railroads have not made the only person In au thority—the governor—party to the suits, and hence that they have no case—a moot question In fact. Unless the cases go to actual trial on merits of the Issue, no fight will be made on the fourteenth amendment of the Federal constitution. The hope Is strong that the entire matter will he thrown out of the courts on the de murrer. ' If, however, they are not. the state may then challenge the validity of the fourteenth amendment. I i YACHT CLUB 13 Liptoii’s Challenge Is Well Received By Big Yachts men. New York, Sept. 14.—Announcement of Sir Thomas Lip ton's challenge for the America’s cup la well received here and with the return of leading members of the New York Yacht Club from Jamestown Monday It Is anticipated that preparations will at once be set on foot to form a syndicate to build yachts to meet the foreigner.

COUPLE TO SKATE TO WEDDED BLISS When Miss Louise White, the charm. Ing young professional skater, signed n contract tor a week's engagement at the 8t.

Miss'White, who Is only 18 years of nge, has proved quite an attraction to hundreds who havd visited the rink this week, but to none was her beauty and gracefulness so fatal os to Mr. What ley, who decided that she would have Pi sign a contract to remain In Atlanta Indefinitely.

Up to the pres ent time a skating parson has not been found, and It Is feared that the preach er who performs tho ceremony will be sans rollers. Tho ceremony will take place immediately after the special per- f -nuance of Wastell and White. The voting couple have made no plans for the future, but It Is understood they will make their home In Atlanta.

Tho letter of Mr. Meyer* referred to the feeling of the navy offleer* about their part In the Jamestown Exposi tion. and the thing that particularly angered Admiral Evans waa the follow ing: "If Rear Admiral Evan* and other offleer* who are taking their cue from hhn now feel that It I* a derogation of their duty for n few month* to n«- soelate with the common people of thl* country and to allow them to come aboard of their ships and look them over, It will tend rather to react and create an antagonistic feeling such a* I* already cropping up among the pa' per* of the country.” Admiral Evans In hts letter to Mr. Meyera, referring to tnl* quotation. says In part: . "A simple matter of duty wa* pro sented to u», and, so far a* J know, It has been performed thoroughly and conscientiously, and In a manner not only satisfactory to the president, the secretary of the navy nnd the officer* of the exposition, but In such wt*e as to contribute most highly to the suc cess of the exposition at a time when It moat needed such help. "Your assumption that what you call unjust and damaging article*, appear ing In the service Journals, reflecting upon the Jamestown Exposition, cor' rectly express my personal views, li not only unjust to me, but Is, In my opinion, an unwarrantable piece of Im pertinence, which 1 most distinctly and emphatically resent."
