VOTE TO PROBE'
SALE OF CENTRAL!-
SENATE MUST ACT
Without wasting time In debating
the proposition further than the ex
planation of a few amendments, the
lower house of the general assembly
adopted by a unanimous vote Wednes
day afternoon the resolution of Mr.
Hardeman, of Jefferson, calling for an
Investigation of the alleged ownership
of the Central of Georgia railroad by
the Southern Railway.
The resolution originally provided
that the governor should appoint a
committee of three competent citlsens
to conduct the Investigation, but this
was amended so that the committee
should be a legislative one, consisting
of live members, three of whom should
be appointed by the speaker of the
house and two by the president of
the senate.
Instead of reporting the result of
their Investigations to the governor,
the committee Is required to report to
the general assembly at tho next ses
sion, and along with the report of their
findings, to make such recommenda
tions as they may deem necessary to
fit the case In question.
Other Similar Cases.
The authority of the committee wns
also extended by an amendment which
provides that the committee may In
vestigate any other cases which may
appear to Involve a similar violation
of the constitution.
Tho committee Is vested with tho
power of a superior court and Is au
thorised to hold Its sittings at any
time or at any place In the United
States, subpoena witnesses and cumpel
attendance and take any other steps
that may be necessary to secure the
Information desired.
The resolution does not provide for
any special legal assistance but does
provide that the attorney general shall
assist the committee In conducting tho
Investigation. The members of the
committee Bhall bo allowed $4 per day
and expenses during the time that they
are actually engaged In prosecuting
their investigations.
The resolution was Immediately
transmitted to the senate.
Mr. Hardeman Introduced his resolu
tlon In the house several weeks ago.
It followed closely upon tho report
that Messrs. Perry and Thorne, of
New York, hod secured control of tho
majority of the stock In tho Central
of Georgia railroad and were vottn-
It for the Southern Railway, the rei
controllers of the property.
This alleged deal wus charged to
have been In direct violation of the con
stitution of tho state which prohibits
any lino of railroad from owning or
controlling a competing line. The de
mand for an Immediate Investigation
has been general and the resolution
was framed to conform to thla demand.
Many Bills Passed.
After passing the Hardeman resolu
tion the house devoted the remainder
of the session to the passage of local
and pension bills and the following
wore read the third tlmo and passed:
By Mr. Terrell, of Grady—To relieve
Grady county of the payment of cer
tain taxes.
By Mr. McMIchacl. of Marlon—To
pay pension of the late Newton Harris
to his undertaker and physician.
By Mr. Blackburn, of Fulton—To
my pension of Albert C. Burgles to
its widow.
To pay pension to Mrs. Sarah A,
Bruce.
By Mr. Hines, of Baldwin—To ap
propriate 115,000 for equipping a dor
mitory at the State Normal and Indus,
trlai College.
By Messrs. Slaton, Bell nnd Black
burn, of Fulton—To appropriate 36,000
with which to equip the new Carnegie
