SAYS JUDGE HINES
State’s Argument Heard in
Federal Court on
Thursday.
Argument for the state In the suit of
the Central of Georgia railway against
the railroad commission was continued
In the Federal court before Judge New
man Thursday and the case Is non
drawing rapidly to a close.
Judge Hines and Attorney \V. A.
Wlmblsh occupied the session of the
eourt with arguments for the state.
Judge Hines continued his argument
commenced Wednesday, and declared
that the railroad was not fighting con
fiscation, but was fighting regulation.
He replied to the remarks of Attorney
Lawton for the railroad. In which the
commission was criticised, and said It
waa the desire of the commission and
other officials that corporate Interests
and others should prosper In Georgia.
"But," he added, “they shall not fat
ten through tyrannies upon the people
of the state.”
He answered Colonel Lawton on the
statement that for twenty-seven years
the railroads had been persecuted and
some driven Into bankruptcy by rail
road commissions. Judge Hines said
the Central hod not been In existence
that long, nnd that It waa not the rail
road commission that drove it Into
bankruptcy, but It was a victim of fren-
xled finance and mismanagement In
answer to the statement that the road
runs through sparsely-settled country.
Judge Hines named the many prosper
ous and flourishing cities of the state to
which the road runs. He declared that
from tha road's own figures It Is now
earning 6.47 per cent on Intrastate bust,
ness and thnt if the values of the fran
chises are eliminated the earnings are
over 7 per cent.
Attorney Wlmblsh. In commencing
his argument, declared that It was as
sumed all along that the new rate waa
confiscatory and thnt tfie court wa*
asked to assume the same thing.. He
pointed out that this assumption leaves
out the question of Increased traffic
caused by. a reduction In passenger
rates. He cited many cases to show he
was right and made an able and com
prehensive argument.
When 81r. Wlmblsh concludes hi* ar
gument ex-Benator John C. Spooner, of
Wisconsin, will conclude the side of the
railroad. Judge Newman asks many
questions from both sides during the
hearing and seems determined to grasp
the situation thoroughly and complete,
ly. If he falls to catch the meaning of
any contention or If the language used
Is not clear he has the attorneys be
more comprehensive and be explicit.

BY BOLD BURGLARS
CHILDREN’S CASE TO GO
BEFORE SUPREME COURT;
DRAMATIC SCENE AT TRIAL
HELEN AVARY, AGED 9.
CLARICE AVARY, AGED 10.
The salt of Mrs. A. S. Crumpton for
tbe custody of Clarice and Helen Avary,
aged 11 and 8 years, which was decided
In favor of Dr. M. B. Avary by Judgo
Ellis Wednesday amid aa dramatic
scenes aa were ever witnessed In an
Atlanta court, will be carried to the
supreme court of Georgia, according to
the statement of John E. McClelland,
attorney for Mrs. Crumpton Thursday
morning.
The little girls were taken by their
father Thursday morning to the con
vent In Washington, On., from which
they had been brought to testify In the
hearing of tho habeas corpus proceed
ings. They were apparently cheerful,
the Avarys state, and will cause no
further trouble.
Dr. Arch Avary, uncle of the children,
said: "At the convent, which Is an ex
cellent Institution, they are happy and
receive splendid care.”
The parting of the two little girls
from their aunt, after Judge Ellis' de
cision, the frantic appeal of little Clar
ice to the Judge aa he came, down from
the bench nnd other Incidents of the
dramatic hearing will never be forgot
ten by the court officers and others who
witnessed tho climax of one of the most
remarkable cases on record, which be
gan with the seizure or the girls by
their older brothers when on their way
to school, caused a light In Broad Btreet
between A. S. Crumpton, the uncle-in
law, and Dr. Arch Avary, In which the
aunt took part, and has ended for a
time in the father's, being given legal
possession of his daughters.
When little Clarice was called upon
to testify, she stood on the rostrum be
side the judge, her little body quivering
with emotion, her dark eyes Hashing.
She declared:
■'It would Just kill me to leave my
auntie. She has been as good to me as
my own mother would. I couldn't,
couldn't love him aqy more than I do
her. He broke a promise to me."
Helen made a similar statement and
wept passionately. The attorheys took
up the argument and finally Judge El
lis rendered hi* decision, giving tho
children to their father, with the pro
vision that Mra. Crumpton have the
right to visit them upon appjlcatlon to
the court.
Immediately the two girls began
screaming. Their father and brothers
attempted to take them away from
their aunt, but they clung to her. Two
deputy sheriffs. In an effort to restoX
order, aided the father.
Judge Ellis was Just stepping down
from his bench, when Clarice, with up
lifted hands ran up to him.
"Please, Mr. Judge, don’t do It. I will
kill myself. I will eat glass; I will die
If you take me away from my auntie,"
she cried.
Then the father, brothers and court
officers succeeded In earning- the little
girls out of the court room.
Judge Ellis, It is said, had tears In
his eyes, and there were several men
who wept.

English Balloon Damaged.
London, OM. 10.—A big military di
rigible balloon was badly' damaged by
a wind storm today and Is almost a
complete wreck.
Because the board of education, at
one of Its star chamber sessions, had
authorised a committee to select plans
for the proposed Fifth Ward School,
and because this committee selected
the plans drawn up by Architect Bleck
ley without having competitive bljls,
Councilman Btyron talked out at the
meeting of council Wednesday after
noon.
The committee was composed of
Frank J. Orme, Samuel G. Evlns and
T. D. Meador. Councilman Styron
quoted Mr. Evlns as saying at the
meeting where the action was taken
that “he waa obligated to Mr. Bleck
ley."
Mr. Styron, however, ha* written a
card to The Georgian, in which he says
he did Mr. Evlns an Injustice. The card
follows:
"I noticed In this morning's Consti
tution an article headed 'School Board
Given Rap.' This article quotes me as
having said yesterday In a meeting
of the city council that Mr. Orme, a
member of the board of education, had
told me that Mr. Evlns, another mem
ber of that board, was obligated In
aome way to Architect Bleckley to give
him (Bleckley) the plans for tha new
Fifth Ward School. I have had a
talk with Mr. Orme this morning and
I ant satisfied that I did Mr, Evlns an
Injustice, as I find that I had miscon
strued what Mr. Orme said In regard to
the awarding of the plana to .Mr. Bleck.
ley. I wish to say that I have seen Mr.
Evlns and have made this statement
to him. Very truly yours,
"I. F. STYRON."
It seems that the committee en
tered Into an agreement with 5Ir.
Bleckley that he should revise the
plana he drew for the North Avenue
School for the Marietta Street School,
In order to make It a 12-room Instead
of an 8-room school, and that he should
be paid 21-2 per cent, Instead of 6
per cent, the regular architect’s fees.
Councilman Styron stated that Ar
chitect Wachendorff offered to do the
■am- with his plans for the Grant
Park School or to draw an entire new
set of plans {or 2 1-2 per cent, but wa*
refused the opportunity.

Columbia, S. C„ Oct. 10.—Owing to
the decrease In revenue receipts that
will ensue In Georgia upon the enforce,
ment, after January 1, of the recently
passed prohibition law. the collector-
ship of Internal revenue hitherto main,
tatned for that state In Atlanta with
H. A. Rucker, colored, as collector, will
at the end of the current year be abol
ished and Georgia and South Carolina
will be merged Into one district with

jor Mlcah Jenkins, now collector for

the battalions In the Rough Riders regi
ment. He Is a Democrat and a son of

erate army.
The collectorshlp for Mississippi will
likewise be abolished January 1, and

bition next year. South Carolina*
collections, which amounted last Year
to $600,000 under the stnte dispensary,
dropped this year for the fiscal year
ended June 30, to 8500,000.
