John S. Miller, attorney for the com pany. declares the passage of the new rate btll repealed the Elkins*law and remitted all offenses committed to that day. He claims further that the bill, 29. 1906, and became a law.

The matter will be Introduced In the nature of charges preferred against two police officers, -growing out of a clash between two policemen and two privates of company B. Fifth Georgia regiment, slnte troops, In the Bijou Theater on the night of November 26. The two soldiers, J. C. Edmondson and F. J. Arbuly, In uniform and armed, went to the Bijou under orders from their captain to arrest another member of the company for falling to attend drill, and who was then enjoying the performance. The soldiers assert that the police men, specified as Officers Brodte land R. J. Williams, Intofferred with them In making the arrest, on the ground they had no right to enter the theater for any such purpose. It Is further alleged that the policemen Jeered and ridiculed the soldiers, referring to them us "tin soldiers" and characterizing ihelr cap tain as a "fool," who didn't know his business. Arrested and Released. The soldiers say they were finally arrested by the policemen, but were later released. They say the conduct of the policemen indicated tlmt the uniform of a soldier was nothing more than a target for derision and ridicule. The soldiers didn't know the names of the policemen, but reported the num bers. On these numbers, charges were preferred against Officers Brodlo and Williams. It Is learned, however, that Williams was not on duty at the tlien- ter, but It Is said that the officer re ferred to by the soldiers, was Police man Englelt. f’hlcf Jennings, when asked about the matter Wednesday morning, said; “I know nothing of the merits of the case at issue. Of course, however, civil law lukes precedence over military law, as this Is a civil government. The mil itary, on the other hand, has certain authority over its men. Whether mi litiamen would have a right, however, lo invade a theater and urrest one of their number I am not prepared to say." Colonel Anderson Reticent. Colonel Clifford I,. Anderson, com manding officer of the Fifth regiment, Infantry, Georgia State Troops, said Wednesday morning that hi view of the fact that tho matter was to he Investigated he did not care to be Interviewed. „„ , .. "I will simply quote section t>9 of the Georgia military code,” said Colonel Anderson, "as It defines the authority of the military ocers In such cases; The governor, commanding officer of any regiment, battalion or company, may force the attendance at any drill, encampment or other duty of any of ficer or enlisted man of h.ls command and may use such force os may be nec- ossary." Matron Controversy. A number of other matters will come before the commission Thursday night. One of the most Interesting features will be consideration of the. controver sy between Probation Officer Gloer and Miss Sanderson, police matron.
