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.
