The patient staggers under the supervision of the doctors." .. , Frank B. Kellogg. In reply, said that the trust evils of today were due to the "grasping cupidity of certain hu man beings."

EXTENSION WAS • DISCONTINUED Ask Injunction to Stop Tak ing Down of Trolley Wires. (Continued on page two.) When a street car company secures s franchise to operate on certain streets, must the company operate cars on all of these streets or can It operate on Just as many ss It pleases? This Is the Interacting point that has been raised by the filing of a suit for Injunction by a number of the property holders In Capitol avenue nnd Hay- good avenue and near tho Intersection of the two. filed In Judge Ellis' court several days ago and set for trial next Saturday. In addition to the suit* for th- re straining order preventing the compa ny from removing Its overhead trolley wires from Capitol avenue between Ormond and Bass streets, the rult 1* for s mandamus to force the company to complete the Capitol avenue line to Haygood avenue. About six weeks ago tho Georgia Railway and Electric Company secured from council a permit to extend Its street car lines on Capitol avenue from Bass street to Haygood avenue, n dis tance of a little more than four blocks. This was on petition of the company. Tho company began work Immediate ly ami soon had all the overhead trol ley wires Installed all the way from Buss street to Haygood avenue. In ad dition, the streets lwtil been dug up preparatory to laying tho tracks. Stopped Work Suddenly. For some reason the Company evi dently changed Its plans, for the flitch on Capitol nvenue between Ormond street nnd Haygood avenue, n distance of 610 feet, was refilled and work hero was abandoned. The property holders between Or mond and Hnygood nnd a little farther down were Immediately up In arms. They had anticipated and had been led to expect a street car line. On* Atlantan had gone so far. It Is s.ild, as to build a magnificent home near the Intersection of Capitol avenue snd Haygood avenue, on the strength "f the announcement that Che company was going to extend Its car line be yond there. A number of these property holders appeared before the street car officials and cited their grievances, nnd ware Informed, It Is until, that the company had abandoned Its plan to construct the line to Haygood avenue. Injunction is Asksd. I Hon. James L. Key was’ employed a s attorney and he Immediately filed the petition for Injunction and mandamus to force the company to build to this point. It being his contention that where a company secured a franchise to oper ate on a certain number of streets and with a specified route. It had to use ull these streets or none, and that It hnd to bear the burdens as well as reap the benefits of this franchise. Judge Ellis granted a temporary re straining order, snd. as a result, the company ha* been unable to remove Its overhead trolley wire*. The case la set for hearing next Saturday, but It la stated that Judge Elllq will be out of the city on that day and the hearing will therefore be postponed. The following are the names of the property holders who filed the suit through Attorney Key: C. E. Pierson, E. W. Dease. R. C. Clark, W. H. O'Rear, D. A. Stephens. J. E. Briggs. B. M. Sevier, J. M.

I would not he surprised If the law doee not so require, too.” Attorney Key I* even more positive In his statements concerning the matter "As a matter of law," he said. "I be lieve they must complete the Capitol avenue line to Haygood avenue. As .< matter of good faith, I know It should be done.” Official’* Statement. An official of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company gave an explana tion of the reasons that actuated company In pot extandlns the C* avenue line eny further than the pres ent plan contemplates. it was stated that the line war helm extended, as It Is. purely for the benefit of the patrons of the road in Capita avenue snd the only r a- „ wh> tin line doe* not go as far some .( tin property holders deMre and demand is because It hes been found, on Investi gation. that this was Iniprm livable nnt unwise and would tend t than to Improve tin- servle THE WEATHER.
