K CkVtTT UHL 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. itcSFIten 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.

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. $1,000,000 OFFER New York. Oct. 10.— 1 Two burglars.

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.
