COMMISSION READY
TO TAKE UP WORK
Chairman S. G. McLendon, of the
railroad commission, was in his office
at the capitol Monday for the first time
In two or three weeks, having been
confined to his room with a severe at
tack of'grip.
All of. the commissioners, except
Commissioner Callaway, were on hand
Monday, and were In consultation dur
ing the morning on Important pending
matters. Monday the matter of cash
fares on trains was decided by declar
ing to change the existing rule In the
matter.
There are several pending matter*
that will probably be decided during
the week. One relates to different
rates on compressed and uncompressed
cotton; another to rates for compres
sion. and probably a decision regard
ing the Atlanta Terminal Company and
the Atlanta Baggage and Cab Com
pany. . /
It Is expected that a decision will be
ranched within a short time In refer-
*e to the petition of Councilman Tef-
w i asking for eight tickets for a quar
ter on the Georgia Railway and Elec
tric Company. • ~ -
The company Is standing on Its old
contract with the city, which granted

cents for a fare. The new* commission
law says that orders and rules of that
body must not Interfere with municipal
ordinances. Judge J. K. Hines, attor
ney for the commission, has been In
vestigating this question rather fully.
It Is believed that the commission will
hold that this old contract Is binding
on the efty.

m Mra. Hayea ask. that she be award
ed the custody of their 3-year-old child,
Austin, and 'that her maiden name,
Nancy Lindsay, be restored to her.
So far no legal steps have been ta
ken by the brewery Interests of Geor
gia to hold up the operation of the
prohibition law by the Injunction pro
cess, but considerable Interest la being
centered In the headquarters of the
United States court In the Federal
building.
Judge Don A. Pardee, before whom
auch proceedings In the Federal court
would probably be brought. Is still In
the city, but ns yet he has not been
called upon to consider the case.
But one more day Is left In which
action In the matter might be taken,
for after Tuesday liquor will be out
lawed In Georgia.
In this connection it is Interesting to
note what Governor Hoke Smith hus to
say on file question. That Governor
Smith believes the law beyond attack
In the courts Is shown by the following
statement given out by him Saturday
night:
"There Is nothing in the effort to at
tack the prohibition law on account of
the provision of the constitution ap
propriating special liquor taxes to
school purposes. The constitution ‘au
thorizes,’ but docs not require a special
liquor tax.
"The properties which quit the liquor
business are not lost. The breweries
are prepared to manufacture Ice and
soft drinks. With these they can pay
a fair profit on their Investments.
"There ts plenty of work In Georgia
for those who go out of the liquor busi
ness, and plenty of work for all of the
time of those who have wasted half
their time thru the use of liquor.
"If a club Is held by the courts to be
a public place, the club locker Is Illegal
and wtlj be stopped.
"The constitution of the state limits
the tax'rate to 5 mills. The state
school fund.waa increased,2250,(190.£qr
next year, and there Is nd trouble about
the revenue of the state being ample
without the liquor tax to meet all ap
propriations.
"Over one hundred counties In the
state have had prohibition for years.
They have outgrown counties situated
similarly which permitted the sale.
There Is no doubt that prohibition Is
wise from an economic standpoint. The
overwhelming sentiment of the white
people of Georgia ts for prohibition
and the law will be enforced..
"1 do not expect the temperance
movement to produce, as a rule, laws
■o stringent as the Georgia laws, but
I do hope to see the American standing
bar prohibited nearly every where. The
are of whisky and similar drinks might
then be confined to medicinal purposes,
and the light drinks, such as wines and
beer, be used only at the table as food.”

That the prison commission has an
Inspector at work Investigating charges
that camp wardens receive ejftra com
pensatlon from lessees was admitted
nt the office of the commission Mon
day.
Whether or not the allegations are
made thnt State Warden Jake C. Moore
received compensation from lessees for
special services Is not known by the
commission, nor did any member know
aught of the statement that charges
had been filed with the legislative In
vestigating committee. Warden Moore
could not be seen. His connection with
the department ends officially Wcdnes.
day.
It Is said that Warden Moore has
saved the state thousands of dollars
by.securing the consolidation of small
camps with large ones. . Some years
ago there were many small camps of
twenty-five or more convicts, where a
warden and physician had to be main-
talned.
By opening negotiations. Warden
Moore would secure consolidations with
other camps, thus reducing the state's
expenses. If ho received compensation
from any one for tills service the fact
Is not known to the commission.
It Is said that competent camp war
dens are very difficult to secure, owing
to the small salaries paid, Most of
them receive $50 per month, and one or
‘ i-o as much as 2100.
From some quarter It Is understood
that these wardens receive extra pay
from the lessees, but tho practice, If
true. Is against the regulations of the
commission. A!any of these wardens are
trained In some line of work—milling,
turpentine, brick-making, etc. They
render valuable service to the lessees
In getting the best results.
As stuted, these wardens may be
paid extra compensation by the lessees.
The commission Is Investigating this
question now with a view of present
ing It to the legislature next summer.

CHAMBER’S ANNUAL
MEETING TUESDAY
and tunny friedfk wUI itnemb
■ New York, Dec. 30.—The caee of tho
defense' of Harry Kendall Thaw, which
will be presented to the Jury at his sec.
ond trial for the murder of Stanford
White next Monday, was completed to
day by his chief counsel, Martin W.
Littleton, and the latter's associates.
The defense at the second trial will
be radically different from that of the
first trial. In thnt It will wholly bar nny
reference whatever to the unwritten
law. The defense will make Its appeal
to the Jury altogether on the allegation
that Harry Thnw was Insane when he
shot and killed Stanford White.
A new witness, vital to the case for
Insanity, has been found by the law
yers for the defense, Rnd his testimony
will be one of the strongest points In
the cumulative evidence ' tending to
show that Thaw was out of hts mind on
the night of the tragedy.
This witness Is John J. Donnelly, of
Wllkesbnrre, Pa.. Investigation showed
that ho had a closer observation of
Thaw Just before the shooting than any
one else on the roof of tho theater.
For the first time It will be disclosed
by this witness exactly what was
Thaw's facial expression, whot his ac
tions at- he strode onward to send
White to his death.

VIGOROUS REPLY
TO HOSPITAL REPORT
Dr. L. G. Broughton takes exception
to tha report of the council commit
tee on hospitals anil charitlen, which
designated the Tabernacle Infirmary,
the Presbyterian and Wesley Memorial
hospital, as "business enterprises.”
Dr. Broughton, answering for the
Tabernacle Infirmary only, says that
this statement Is an Injustice, und
charge* further thnt the figures given
by the committee were based on the
report <rf 1906 Instead of 19Q7.
According to the books of the secre
tary they show that during 1907 the
Tabernacle Infirmary had nn overage
of thirty patients per day during th*
year, besides district work where pa
tients are treated at their homes. A
large percentage of the cases are pure-
ly charitable.
The expenses for the year were $21,-
656.79, and received -froth patients’ and
nurses' fees $15,992.46, leaving a bal
ance of 25,659.33 to be provided for. In
salaries for officers, nurses, servant*
and laundresses the Institution paid
last year 35,269.59.
Dr. Broughton says further that the
committee made absolutely no Investi
gation of the books or affairs of the
Infirmary, and that tt has done a great
wrong to u worthy Institution.
