give 159 telephone company and ihe
bank three pigs, the former getling
two and the latter one. The telephone
company and the bank wiil use these
pigs supply other boys, and thus
wiil Qe chain of pig-raising ciubg be
extended as rapidly. as new litters of
pigs arrive. *
Four women passenger agents are
employed by the railroads of the Uni

J
STATES' RIGHTS PRESERVED
Principles Which Railways Hold Should
Govern Regulatory System In Inter
ests of Public and the Roads—Com
pulsory System of Federal Incorpo
ration Favored.
Washington, Dec. 4.—That the inter:
ests of national defense require that
control of railway lines should rest
with the federal government and not
with the states was the claim ad
vanced by Alfred P. Thom, counse
to the Railway Exccutives’ Advisor)y
Committee, in concluding his prelim
‘ fnary statement of the case for the
railways before the Newlands Joint
| Committee on Interstate Commerce.
“We must be eflicient as a nation it
we are to deal successfully with out
national emergencies,” said Mr® Thom
“and we must appreciate that efficient
transportation is an essential condition
of national efficiency. If we are to
hait and weaken our transportatinu
systems by state lines, by the perma
nent imposition of burdens by unwise
reguiation, we will make national effi
ciency impossible.” ‘
States’ Rights Would Not Suffer.
Mr. Thom cited many instances in|
which shippers in one state were in |
juriously affected by selfish regula
tions imposed on the railroads by |
' neighboring states. IHe pointed oul;
that federal regulation would benoin |
vasion of the rights of the states but
would be the means of preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the Union, one of which was'
the right to the free movement of their
products across state boundaries.
What the Railroads Advocate. |
The principles which the railroads
believe should be incorporated in any
just system of regulation were sum
marized by Mr. Thom as follows: |
1. The entire power and duty of reg
ulation should be in the hands of the
national government, except as to mat.
ters so essentially local and incidental
that they cannot be used to interfere
with the efficiéndy of’ the'service of'the
just rights of the carriers.
2. As one of the means of accom
plishing this, a system of compulsory
federal incorporation should be adopt
ed, into which should be brought all
railroad corporations engaged in inter
state or foreign commerce.
8. The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion under existing laws has too much
to do and is eharged with conflicting
functions, including the investigation.
prosecution and decision of cases. The
‘ latter duties should be placed in the
hands of a new body which might be
called the Federal Railroad Commis
sion. Regional Commissions should
be established in different parts of
the country to assist the Interstate
Commerce Commission by handling lo
cal cases,
4, The power of the Commission
should be extended to enable it to pre
seribe minimum rates and not merely
maximum rates as at present. This
would increase their power to prevent
unjust discriminations.
Justice to Public and Roads.
5. It should be made the duty of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, in
the exercise of its powers to fix rea
sonable rates, to so adjust these rates
that they shall be just at once to the
public and to the carriers. To this end
the Commission, in determining rates,
should consider the necessity of main
taining efficient transportation and ex.
tensions of facilities, the relation of
expenses to rates and the rights of
shippers, stockholders and creditors of
the roads.
6. The Interstate Commerce Commis.
sion should be invested with the pow
er to fix the rates for carrying mails.
7. The federal government should
have exclusive power to supervise the
issue of stocks and bonds by railroad
carriers engaged in interstate and. for
eign commerce.
8. The law should recognize the es
sential difference between things which
restrain trade in the case of ordinary
mercantile concerns and those which
restrain trade in the case of common
carriers. The question of competition
is not the only fair criterion.
9. The law should expressly provide
for the meeting and agreement of traf
fic or other officers of railroads in re
spect of - rates or practices. This
should, however, be safeguarded by
requiring the agreements to be filed
with the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and to be subject to be disapprov
ed by it.
“My legali proposition,” Mr. Thom
said, “is that the Constitution as it
now is gives full authority to Congress
to regulate the instrumentalities of in
terstate commerce in all their parts.
If the power of regulation is to reach
the public requirements, it must be co
extensive with the instrumentalities of
commerce.”
Mr. Thom explainea that the roads
are not asking either of the Committee
or of Congress any increase in reve
nues, but that they are merely asking
the perfection of a system which will
be responsible to any need that may
arise.

TWO HELD AT MACON, TWO AT
COLUMBUS AND FIFTH MAN
AT HOT SPRINGS.
Americus, Dee. s.—Two well-known
Jumter county men were placed in
‘ail in Macon and two cthers at Colum
yus Sunday, following their arrest
ere, charged with the murder of Wal
er Wade at Americus on Auguct 17.
The fifth arrest on the murder mys
ery was made in Hot Springs, Ark.
ccording to advices received by of
iefals, in the person of John Ethridge,
Jthridge formerly lived in Americus.
W ade was a prominent planter at
_eslie and' disappeared on the date
nentioned, his body being found in
he Flint river eleven days later with
v hullet through his skull. Wade had
1300 when ‘he left home. Wade’s au
omobile was found the next morn
ng after the murder, abandoned and
vith bloecd 'stains on it.
Those in jail in Macon are Warren
. Johnson, 44 years old, special agent
or the Central of Georgia railroad,
wind Charles Chapman, Jr., 22 years
ld.
Those jailed at Columbus are Dr.
v. K. Chapman, 50 years old, a den
ist, and Walter Johnson, 22 years
>ld.
Charles Charman is a son of the
lentist and Walter Johnson is a
wrother-in-law to the dentist.
The warrant was obtained before
judge William M. Harper Sunday
norning on the affidavit signed by
f. W. Clopton, father-in-law of Wal
er Wade. It charges murder. The
fficers say that robbery was the mo
ive.
The men are said to have been in
» poker game at Americus the night
f the murder. *lt is alleged that
Wade had $5OO when he left the
rame. He drove away in his own au
omobile and was shot and killed two
niles north of Americus. No money
vas found in his clothing when the
yody was taken from the river. |
Warren Johnson, one of the accus
d, was a former policeman in Macon }
'nd also a deputy sheriff there for a‘
wmber of years. He has been special
wgent for the Central of Georgia for
vight years. He denies that he had
nything to do with the crime and says
hat he can prove that he was not in
\mericus the night of the murder.
The news spread like wild-fire and
he whole countryside was ' thrilled
)y the arrests since Wade disap
seared. ..
The arresting officers were in charge
»f Sheriff Harvey, being Deputy Price
wnd Carey, Policemen Summerford,
3ragg, Lowry and Worthy. Other ar
‘ests are expected to follow imme
liately, connecting interest in the case
ver several states.
L. J. Blalock was engaged by rela
ives Sunday afiernoon as counsel in
he interest of the two Chapmans and
Walter Johnson. . No statements
sould be obtained from the arrested
»arties before their departure, but it
s said that they only had slight com
nent to make, requesting to be shown
he warrants.
Judge J. A. Hixon had already
yeen engaged as counsel by the rela
tives of Wade in an investigation of
he murder, and he will doubtless as
sist Acting Solicitor Jule Felton of
Montezuma when the cases are called.
The grand jury meets hcre Tuesday,
ifter a recess, and the superior court
s now in session.
