Roberts, a well- known young railroad man whose home Is In Charlotte, was shot and In sanity killed here Saturday morning by J. B. Allison, night Janitor at the rlty hall. The shooting occurred In the red light district where Roberts was treating a disturbance. Special to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala. Aug. 20.—All dgi' yesterday the people of this state dls cussed with much interest the latest move of the atate authorities. In the clash with the federal court In the railroad case. But few grasped the true meaning of Attorney General Garber's refusal to appear In the fed eral court; few realised that It was simply another shrewd move of Gov ernor Comer In the Interest of state rights. Late Saturday night friends of the administration admitted that Governor Comer waa acting wisely In his latest stand and stated their be, lief that the governor now has the railroads In his power. Since the ad joumlng of the legislature, the gov ernor has threatened to reconvene the lawmakers to prepare laws which can be enforced, but he has not let any one speak of bis strongest card, that of prohibiting the moving of freight trains In the state of Alabama on the Sabbath day. The governor knows that by holding such a law over the heads of the railroad companies he Is almost sure to force them to concede to the present demands. The position taken by the attorney general has caused much talk. Declaring that It was futile for him or other attorneys to go Into the federal court represent ing the solicitors and sheriffs of the state, when the presiding Judge had already prejudged the case at Issue, the attorney general declined to ap pear for the county officials who were responding to the enlarged Injunction obtained by the Louisville and Nash ville railroad. Inasmuch as the state was not represented Judge Jones made his temporary order granting an In junction permanent. Louisville and Nashville railroad men are much concerned as to the probability of being arrested and late Saturday night a delegation of em ployees waited on Judge Jones for.the purpose of finding out whether or not the employees would in cose of ar rest secure the protection of the fed eral court. Judge Jones In them protection, said: "It Is popular sentiment, least men think It Is popular, to talk about arresting you In violation of the order* of the court but when they find out, os they will, that all good cttltens are Indignant at the Insult proposed to be put on you, and through rou on all other laboring men you will hear very little of It In the future. • • • Moreover, the or ders of this court were not made to be disobeyed by anybody. Any one knows the duty of a Judge when an order of the court has been defied. In view of the threats which have been publicly made It Is emi nently right and may save trouble for me to say to you now. as I do say, that If you are arrested, you will be Immediately released on habeas corpus, and the officer making the arrest In contempt of the court will be very severely punished, so that he will remember It for a very long time, under the power Invested In this court by section 725 of the revised statutes of th# United States, as soon as the officers of the court can lay their hands on him, and can have a hearing before me. This la a land ot law and order. The constitution and laws are still supreme. The public sentiment of this sfate and of other states and the powers of the United States are behind the orders this court has made for your protection. 1 The Kansas City. Memphis end Bir mingham railway today filed their for mal petition In the United States court, asking for a modification of their In junction. so as to put Into effect the 21-2 cent passenger rate and the 110 commodity rate, thereby acceding to the request of Governor Comer. Five new United States marshals have been appointed by Marshal Jud kins. HILL YER AND CALL A WA Y APPOINTED MEMBERS OF RAILROAD COMMISSION Judge George Hillyer, of Atlanta, end Hon. Fuller E.
