SPOONER’S SPEECH
Continued from Pago One.
right and all it could do," he said. "It
obeyed this law anS It filed its protest
against such a confiscatory measure by
presenting Its bill In equity."
In this connection he quoted from
decisions in other railroad cases and
seemed to have an abundance of de
cisions to back up his statements. Mr.
Spooner answered Judge Hines* con
tention that the value of the franchises
should be eliminated In ascertaining
the amount of earnings on Intra-state
business and declared a franchise was
something that could not be taken
away wlthoyt compensation and due
process of law, and Insisted that fran
chises often Jive after all other assets
of a corporation.
The contention of Attorney Wlmblsh
for the state that reduced rates meant
Increased earnings was disposed of by
a decision of the United States supreme
court which declared that "speculations
to the future aro not the guide to
Judicial action," but that the rates must
be uppliud us to what has been done in
the past.
In reading from the constitution of
the state of Georgia, ex-Senator Spoon
er paid a high compliment to that In
strument and said It contained open
ing* paragraphs which he doubted
many other constitutions contained
This referred to the obedience to the
Federal constitution first, the const!- j
tutlun of the state next and used that!
us a basis for his contention that the j
proceeding in the Federal court by a
hill in equity was perfectly proper.
"This,” said Senator Spooner, "Is the.
word of the people. It Is not the voice f
ut the legislature, 'It Is not a fancy.!
It Is a constitutional command from!
the people of the sovereign state of
Georgia."
In discussing the right of the state
10 he sued, Senator Spooner admitted
that a state could Issue bonds and con
tract debts and then repudiate them,
‘hit he also pointed out that the pur
chaser of a state bond knows this to be
true and trusts to the honor of the
»*ate. He contrasted the difference In
the case of the railroad which has its
property confiscated by a law which
had not been anticipated.
‘Senator Spooner was still continuing
hi* argument when court took a recess

YOUNG BRIDE ELOPED
SECOND DAY AT FAIR
BEATS THE FIRST
MISS HELEN MALONEY.
New York, Oct. 11.—Arthur Herbert
Osborn, a young broker, made the
startling statement today that he and
Miss Helen Maloney, the heiress of
Martin Maloney, papal marquis and
multt-mllllonalre, who eloped last week
with Samuel Clarkson, were married
In Mamroneck December 28, 1905. and
that the marriage was never an
nounced.
Alexander I,. Bonin, a lawyer, of
Montreal, declared today that Helen
Maloney and Samuel Clarkson were
married In Montreal on Thursday last
by a notary, that he arranged the wed
ding and witnessed It. He said that an
effort was made to get a special dispen.
nation for the marriage In a Catholic
ehureh, but It could not be had. Mr.
Maloney, the girl's father, at his home.
In Spring Lake, N. J.. said over the
long distance telephone that he had
heard from several sources that his
daughter had been married In Montreal
“I knew the story would come out
the moment I heard Helen had gone
away with tills fellow." said Mr. Os
born. “The .worry this affair has had i
on my mother Is disastrous. The most ■
you can make of this whole affair I* j
that .tile girt must have been hypno- [
tlxed or was .an of her nilml.
"1 continued to live with my family I
here and she with hers, after tha eere-
mony. I continued to see my wife fre
quently and the last f heard she called
for Europe. I was there on the pier
to see her go.
“There was no annulment of the mar
riage through the efforts of Mr. Malo
ney or anybody else, for Mr. Maloney
did not kno wof It nor either I or Hel
en wanted It annuled.
“Whoever Clarkson Is. he knew Hel
en was married to me. She told him
that for we have learned he went to a
lawyer and aaked If u marriage of a
person who had figured In a previous
ceremony In the etate to another in
England would be valid,"
After a hysterical night, young Os
borne rushed wildly from Ills apart
ments this morning declaring that he
would kill the Englishman .with whom
his bride eloped. When his mother
was unable to find hint after a search of
several hours she declared she believed
he was on the murderous errand he had
threatened.
Philadelphia, Ort. 11.—Andrew ' Ma
loney, brother of Martin Maloney, an
nounced today for the family that his
brother wished to deny the statement of
a man named A. H. Osborne In New
York that he hail married Helen Ma
loney In Mamaroneek, N. Y., two years
ago.

mand. The shows are all first-class,
of a character entirely new. and are
proving very popular, with the visitors
to the fair grounds.
George Bolllns, that Incomparable
master of wild nnlmals, arrived at the
fair Thursday night with his menage
rie of trained wild animals, and will be
ready to give his first performance Sat
urday morning.
Probably the most Interesting feature
of Mr. Rollins' show Is "Cronje,” the
wildest and most ferocious man-eating
lion that ever raved In captivity; Blnco
"Cronje” was brought out of the Jun
gles and put In a cage by himself
some years ago he has had all the
room he needed, for neither man nor
beast has dared to venture Inside the
lnclosure.
Another, or rather two other, Inter
esting features of the show are "Geor
gia" and "Atlanta," two young lions
who were born at the fair grounds last
year, Just after the fair closed. They
will also be on exhibition and will
entertain the public with a few stunts
learned since they departed from At
lanta one yeur ago.
With Mr. Kolllns Is Mademoiselle
Rosa, Iho lady who accomplishes the
nervy act of placing her head In the
mouth of a ferocious lion.
The Oriental show, which has Just
completed a successful engagement at
the Jamestown Exposition, also arrived
ut the fair Thursday night and will
probably give an exhibition Friday
night. With this show Is Madume
Rossa, saltl to be the most aecompllsh-
ied Oriental dancer fterformlng In the
United Slates.
A great deal of Interest also centers
In the racqs which are being held Fri
day afternoon. The attendance at the
races Thursday afternoon was the larg
est of ,previous years, and the Interest
promises to be sustained and accentu
ated by the high class of the entries.
• J. C. Wallace, for several years con
nected with the I-atonhi course, will
act us starter Friday afternoon, and
the difficulty which was experienced In
the get-away Thursday will be obvi
ated In future by the use of a barrier,
which has already arrived.
Baturduy will be Children’s Day at
the fair grounds, and special attention
will be paid the little folks who visit
the fair that day. A fireworks display
In the daytime has been arranged for
their especial benefit, and all the atv
tractions on the ground will be espe
cially designed for their amusement.
The price of admission for children will
be reduced to 10 cents.

ty, shows:. *
1. Petitioner shows that he Is a citi
zen. resident and; taxpayer of the city
of Atlanta which Is a customer of tha
said defendant, and he Is also a cus
tomer of the said defendant.
2. Defendant company Is a telephone
company, and aa such Is engaged In
the business of renting telephones In
the city of Atlanta, and also conduct
ing a long distance telephone business
In said city as well as renting out In
conduits to other telephone and tele
graph companies.
3. Petitioner la informed and believes
that said company hai no regular
schedule of charges for the rental of
Its telephones, but that It charges
whatever the traffic will bear. Peti
tioner allegei that a reasonable rate of
charge for the use of the telephones of
the defendant company would be $L
tor the first thousand stations connect
ed with the city stations and 12 I-2o
per thousand stations or majority (no
tion thereof subsequently connected
with the central station, thus making
a rate ut present for said company of
about $2.40 per month for the use of
the phones of said company. Peti
tioner allegea that the long dlf ;
rates of said company nre too high:
that the same have been recently in

reduced.
Petitioner alleges that said defend
ant company could make a reasonable
profit on the capital Invested In Its

person called; also the patrons of suld
compuny are frequently required to
wait an unreasonable length of time
before the central office undertakes to
attend to their calls. Petitioner al
leges that this state of affairs Is due
to two causes, to wit.: failure to pay
Its operators enough wages, and lack
of a sufficient number of operators and
Insufficient equipment.
5. Wherefore, petitioner prays:
That the schedule of rates herein set
forth be made the legal rate for said
company to charge. -
That the saltl company be required
to employ enough operators to Walt on
the public with reasonable dispatch,
and that It be compelled to install suf
ficient equipment to give tin- public
adequate service, and that the long
