This circular reducing the rates on

to the Superior court for mandamus to
compel the railroad company to ac

The railroad company resisted by

ATLANTA. May 14.—Under a decis

well will have to return to Florida to

under false pretenses, or on worthless
checks. /After Gov Terrell granted a
requisition for Blackwell in favor of
the Governor of Florida, Blackwell
sought to procure his release by writ
of habeas corpus directed against
Chief cf Police Henry Jennings.
The Supreme Court holds that the
burden is on the petitioner to show
valid and sufficient reason why the ex
tradition warrant as granted by • the
Governor should not be executed.- The
presumption is that the Governor has
complied wi,h the constitution and the

NORFOLK. Va., May 14.—The Japa

ships at the Jamestown Exposition to !
the purpose of making a test case in
the courts. It was charged that rates
had been so -much reduced in Georgia
that the return does not now compen
sate the railroad company.
It was further claimed that as a re
sult Cf previous discriminatory clrcu*
lars on stove rates, namely 305 and
306. Savannah merchants had secured
an injunction against the commission
and that circular 309 was subsequently
included In the injunction, and that by
reason of the Savannah injunction the
Southern bad declined to put in the
new rates because they .were not ef
fective on other lines.
The Southern also cited the fact that
it had subsequently secured in the
United States ’ court an injunction
against the enforcement of circular 309 ’
on the constitutional grounds of eon- i
fiscation and due process of law. and :
that because of comity between the
courts the mandates asked shculd not
be granted. It was further held that
the commission had no power to make
a rate on a particular article between .
a few points.
In spite of these claims the nianda,- j
mus was issued and made absolute by j
the Superior court. The Supreme 1
court’s decision sustaining the action
of the lower court is what is known as
a "decision of first impression." In
other words it is a precedent, being the
first case of this sort decided by the
Georgia courts, and it firmly establish- j

ed by the railroad commission must j
be conformed to in absence of proof j
that they are unjust and unreasonab'e.
