THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
SATURDAY, SEPTK1IHKK 14, 150T.
OUT _0f_ COURTS
Demurrer That Roads Did
Not Make Governor a
Defendant.
The state li ready to begin the legal
battle to maintain the reduced passen
ger rates in the courts Monday.
It seems probable now that the At
lanta and West Point case, set for a
hearing before Judge Kills, In Fulton
(uperlor court, Monday morning at 10
o'clock, will have to go over for a day
or so. Cases already under way will
so over to Monday, preventing the in
junction case of the Atlanta and West
Point coming up then.
In the Federal court Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock the Central Injunction
petition will be heard before Judge W.
T. Newman.
In this case Attorney General J. C.
Hart and Attorney W. A. Wlmblsh will
appear for the state. In the state court
Judge J. K. Hines and Hon. Hooper
Alexander will fight for the state's In
terest.
It Is understood that demurrers have
been prepared In both cases, seeking to
have the cases thrown out of court. In
the Federal court the demurrer will set
up It Is understood, that the attorney
general is not a party at Interest; that
he can not bei enjoined, because he is
not the accredited attorney of the com
mission, and acts only when especially
directed by the governor.
In the state court Judge Hines, at
torney for the commission, will proba
bly demur on the ground that the at
tempt to enjoin the railroad commls
slon is In error: that under the law
that the commission has power only to
pass orders, and that the enforcement
of same then passes from their hands
Into the governor’s.
In other words, the state bases Its
tight on the ground that the railroads
have not made the only person In au
thority—the governor—party to the
suits, and hence that they have no
case—a moot question In fact.
Unless the cases go to actual trial
on merits of the Issue, no fight will be
made on the fourteenth amendment
of the Federal constitution. The hope
Is strong that the entire matter will
he thrown out of the courts on the de
murrer. '
If, however, they are not. the state
may then challenge the validity of the
fourteenth amendment.
I i YACHT CLUB
13
Liptoii’s Challenge Is Well
Received By Big Yachts
men.
New York, Sept. 14.—Announcement
of Sir Thomas Lip ton's challenge for
the America’s cup la well received here
and with the return of leading members
of the New York Yacht Club from
Jamestown Monday It Is anticipated
that preparations will at once be set on
foot to form a syndicate to build yachts
to meet the foreigner.
Real measurement, basing time al
lowance on actual length, sail area,
displacement, with draught sail area
limited, Is what Llpton wants In chal
lenging, and this question will cause
much discussion.
COUPLE TO SKATE
TO WEDDED BLISS
When Miss Louise White, the charm.
Ing young professional skater, signed
n contract tor a week's engagement at
the 8t. Nicholas Auditorium, little did
she think that engagement would lead,
to another engagement which would
culminate In her wedding at the big
rink tonight.
Such, however, proved to be the case,
when Miss White was joined In the
holy bonds of matrimony to Kills A.
Whatley, the outside cashier of the
rink.
Miss'White, who Is only 18 years of
nge, has proved quite an attraction to
hundreds who havd visited the rink this
week, but to none was her beauty and
gracefulness so fatal os to Mr. What
ley, who decided that she would have
Pi sign a contract to remain In Atlanta
Indefinitely. The only way to accom
plish this purpose was to make Mr his
bride. He put the question and re
ceived a prompt answer In the affirma
tive. ,
The pair hied themselves to the of
fice of Justice Orr Friday afternoon
and were made one, but they desire to
be united by a religious as well as a
civil ceremony.
The pair Friday afternoon confided
their secret to Manager Dick Stewart,
who Immediately Insisted that the wed
ding take place at-the rink tonight. The
affair will be unique of its kind. The
bride and groom, best man and maid of
honor will wear skates. Up to the pres
ent time a skating parson has not been
found, and It Is feared that the preach
er who performs tho ceremony will be
sans rollers. Tho ceremony will take
place immediately after the special per-
f -nuance of Wastell and White. The
voting couple have made no plans for
the future, but It Is understood they
will make their home In Atlanta.

Washington. Sept. 14.—Rear Admi
ral Robley D. Evans, U. 8. N„ I* great
ly Inceneed over a letter written by
Bar.ton Meyer*, a member of the board
of governors of the Jamestown Kxpo-
eltlon, to The New York Evening Jour
nal and published some months after
It wo* written, with comment* In the
latest Issue of Tho Army nnd Navy
Journal.
Tho letter of Mr. Meyer* referred to
the feeling of the navy offleer* about
their part In the Jamestown Exposi
tion. and the thing that particularly
angered Admiral Evans waa the follow
ing:
"If Rear Admiral Evan* and other
offleer* who are taking their cue from
hhn now feel that It I* a derogation
of their duty for n few month* to n«-
soelate with the common people of thl*
country and to allow them to come
aboard of their ships and look them
over, It will tend rather to react and
create an antagonistic feeling such a*
I* already cropping up among the pa'
per* of the country.”
Admiral Evans In hts letter to Mr.
Meyera, referring to tnl* quotation.
says In part: .
"A simple matter of duty wa* pro
sented to u», and, so far a* J know, It
has been performed thoroughly and
conscientiously, and In a manner not
only satisfactory to the president, the
secretary of the navy nnd the officer*
of the exposition, but In such wt*e as
to contribute most highly to the suc
cess of the exposition at a time when It
moat needed such help.
"Your assumption that what you call
unjust and damaging article*, appear
ing In the service Journals, reflecting
upon the Jamestown Exposition, cor'
rectly express my personal views, li
not only unjust to me, but Is, In my
opinion, an unwarrantable piece of Im
pertinence, which 1 most distinctly and
emphatically resent."

CHEAP FAIR RATES
ON ALL RAILROADS
There Is every indication now that
all the railroads will put on c4ieap rates
to ths state fair, as they did last'year.
Nearly all the officiate of the various
roads entering Atlanta have announced
that their roads will carry passengers
this year at the same rates as Isst, and
there Is reason to believe that all of
them will do so. This rate last year
was one fare for the round trip, plus
25 cents, and 60 cents for an admission
ticket to the fair. So far It Is safe to
say tbat the Macon and Birmingham.
Central of Oeorgla. Southern. Seaboard
Air Line and the Georgia Southern and
Florida will make the same rates as
last year. And the Indications are that
the Western and Atlantic. Atlanta and
West Point ana tbe Georgia railroad
III do the same.
"My Information Is.” said Secretary
Ftaok Wr'don In discussing the matter
Saturdey, "that the railroads will give
us the same rates as they did last year,
nnd this I* greatly appreciated by the
directors of the fair association."
