’
GAINESVILLE—(#)—No consti

E. Marvin Underwood to deny a
setition for injunction filed by the

The new rate schedule affecting
business and, residential users, is
cheduled to be effective Friday.
The commission’s plea was in
duded in an answer to the utility
sroup’s application for the injuns
tion on grounds that the new
«hedule was *“confiscatory’” and
would cause ‘the telephene com
nanies to “sufter immediate and
rreparable damage and loss.” |
Upon receipt of the injuncfion
application last Monday Judge Un
orwood direeted the commission
0 anpear at the hearing Thursday,
how cause why it should not be
emporarily restrained and enjoin
el from putting into effect twe of
is orders referred to in the bill of
omplaint.”

lav is on the application of the
telephone companies for a tempor
ov restraining order pending an
other hearing on an apnlirétion forl
an interlocutory injunection, l
Recitineg its exhaustive investi
cition into ~¢he rates -and -echarges

to all of she ‘evidence adduced in
<lid hearing, considered the infor
mation contaimed in its official
records and files . . . after such
concideration and after a careful
nalvsis of all of said ewidence
ho'h oral and documentary, it
eached the conclusion thag the
es now in effecy were not reas
ible, fair or just, and in acoecrd
¢ with its interpretation of the
ecord as a whole made its find
ngs establishing fair, reasonable
nd just rates and passed the or
thnt the complaint now seeks
to enjoin.” !
l'he commission shows that for
the reasons hereinabove set forth,”
the answer = continued, *and be
e of the limited time at its
disposal, it' is unable to set forth
n this answer to the rule nisi its
mswer to tHe bill of comiplaint

“The commission denies the al

ty-nine business firms, religious
societies, civic and fraternal or
ganizations sponsoring the fund
that the week before Christmas
will find money and articles valued
at $5,000 on hand.
During the past week Boy Scouts
have scoured some of the resident
ia] sections and_ were rewarded
with three truckloads of contribu
tions. As far as possible, these
contributions will be turned into
cash and applied to the funds,
Broken or discorded toys will be
repaired, painted and made to look
like new by city firemen.
And the big blow-off will come
in Woodruff Hall on the Univer
sity campus on Christmas eve
when the Community christmas
tree will be lighted up. The hours
for the tree are from 2 to 5 o'clock
‘and preparationg are being made
to take care of some 2,000 children
and 3,000 grown-ups.

Herbert Hoover Joins In
Rebuke Of Governor Rolph
California Governor Storm
Center of Controversy;
Marylanders Released
SAN FRANCISCO—(#®)—A" pub
lic rebuke for the governor of Cal
ifornia, {0 which the name of for
mer president Herbery Hoover was
signed, Thursday intensified ' the
cross-fire of criticism over the
San Jose lynching of the kidnap
slayers of Brooke L. I-iart.
Governor James Rolph, jr., who
was censured for his approval of
the lynching in a statement‘si:gn
ed by Mr. Hoover and othes
prominent San Francisco distriet
residents, said in Sacramento -he
had not decided whether to réply.
The statement, issued thr'oug}i‘:J.
W. Mailliard, jr., president .of, the
San Frauacisco chamber of . com
merce, declared “the very spirit of
government has been violated and
the state has been disgraced .in the
eyes of the world by a brutalout
burst of primitive lust for venge=
ance.” 3 {
Laudation “of the mob violence,
it added, “particularly when coms
ing from the chief executive of the
state, undermines the very found
ations upon which the state and
all civilized society is built. . ».”.
Governor Rolph, who a- few
hours before had declared “I am
not taking back one word I have
uttered regarding kidnaping - and
lynching’” said he would require
some time to consider the state
ment.
Of 324 telegrams and letters® he
has received, Governor Rolph said
267 praised his expressed attitude
and 57 condemned it. ;
“The San Jose incident should
be a lesson as I have stated beéfore
—a lesson to the whole country,”
Governor Rolph said.
MARYLANDERS RELEASED'_
| BALTIMORE . —(#)—The mleae:g
of four suspects in the Princes
Anne lynching brought from Gov

Irving Adkins, William Hearn and
William 8. McQuay—were freed
late Wednesday at a habeas cor
pus hearing before Judges John R
Pattison and Robert F. Duer at
Princess Anne,
The hearing lasted only eigh!
minutes during which the prison
erg’ counsel claimed there were ne
warrants, no commitments and no
witnesses for the state and state’s
attorney John B. Robins said he
had mo evidence to present. Chief
Judge Pattison handed down the
decisican.
The prisoners and their escort,
Harry C. Martin, warden of the
Baltimore city jail, where the fore
mer had been held, were received
with loud acclaim from the large
crowd aroumd the courthouse as
they rode into towh.
Thompson and Adkins in court
room speechesg assured the crowd
of their innocence and praised
their treatmeant in Baltimore. Both
commended Martin, calling him
their friend and had him pose for
photographs with them.
Their arrests had been made
early Tuesday morning by the
state militia at the order of Gov
ernor Ritchie and at the request of
William Preston Lane, jr., attor
ney general of Maryland, after
county officialy refused to act.

A NEW FEATURE
Because the Banner-Herald
believes that Athenians are
.more interested in Athens

THE SUBJECT TODAY, which
will begin Friday.
' THE SUBJECT TODAY is a
series of feature stories about
Athens’ people and Athens’
places. Written by students in
the Henry W. Grady School of
Journalism at the University,
this new feature has some
thing you could not get .in any
syndicated work of nationally
known writers.
Watch for the first “Subject”
to appear in the Banner-Her
ald Friday.

NO CLUES FOUND IN
SLAYING OF MILLER
Noted Killer's Body Found
Late Wednesday in Ditch
On Roadside
DETRIOT, — (&) — Admittedly
without . ciues or theories, Detriot
police and agents of the United
States department of justice
Thursday sought the slayers of
Verne Miller,, notorious mid«wes
‘tern desperado, whose battered
body wag found on the outskirts of
the city late Wednesday.
‘The body of the man who had
been sought as the machine gunner
in the slaying of four officers and
a prisoner at the Kansas City un
ion station last June, 17, was found
in a roadside ditch, wunder and
trussed up with blankets. Identi
ficaton was made by means of
fingerprints.
Aside from the gowledge that
Miller had been in Detriot recent
ly and later had apparently left the
city, detective had been i Detroit
recently and later had apparently
left the city, detectives had little
to guide them in their investiga
tion. An examination of the body
established the time of death as 18
to 24 hours before the body was
found.
Detective sought a possible link
between the slaying of Miller and
the slaying early Sunday of Abe
Axler and Eddie Fletcher, New
York and Detriot police characters,
whose bodies, bearing numerous
bullet wounds, were found in an
automobile near a North side
surburb, it was known by the Police
that a famous killer—possibly Mil
ler—was brought to Detrot to slay
Axler and Fletcher.
