BUSINESS, BEHIND THE BARS,, o.v CJOOH
The most unique business being con
ducted In Atlanta today Is a little store
In the police station, presided over by
an old gray-halred man, who, himself
a prisoner. Is seeking to sell candles
and cologne to other prisoners.
This old'man Is Josh^Cnlloway, who
for many years has been a noted char
acter about the streets of Atlanta. With
a little stock of candy and cologne,
given him by Dr. Will McAfee, proprie
tor of the Eureka pharmacy In De-
catur-sfc, the old man la finding pas
time arid is trying to make a little
extra coin on the side by dispensing
— — :—
these wares to other prisoners.
H. displays his stock of goods on
the ledge of a big-barred door and
spiels with the energy and vim of some
street peddler.
“Fine candles and cologne.” he will
call out. "Come on now and buy and
help the old man.”
Calloway has no city license to con'
duct a store, but tho police have kindly,
overlooked this. Every one who passes;
thru the prison .corridor Is balled by
the aged.prisoner and trade solicited.
He has sold but little so far, but this
fact has not dampened his spirits In
the least.

Relator shows that that portion of the
act of 1879 providing for the suspen
sion and removal of a member of the
railroad commission, and set forth in
the second paragraph of the message of
the governor as the authority for the
suspension and removal of relator, I
unconstitutional and void, for the fol

thereof and to award them to another,
without making anv provision In said
act for .notice to said officer or for o

Is contrarty to article 1, section 1,
pargraph 2, of the constitution of the
state of Georgia (code 6699), wherein
It is provided that "protection to per
son and property Is the paramount
duty of government, and shall be Im

lows:
"Offices, How Vacated: All offices in

(c) Said portion of the act of 1879
Is contrary to article 1, section 1, par
agraph 23. of the constitution of the
State of Georgia (code 5720). wherein
It is provided that “the legislative, ex

undertokea (o confer upon the legisla
ture the power to remove by resolu

dicial In Its nature, and can, thercfotki,
be exercised by the leglslatupf untjft
nnd by virtue of Its constitutional pow
er of Impeachment alone, anti not by
mere vote, resolution or declaration.

that It undertakes to make effective a
vote, resolution or order of a majority
of both houses of the legislature, with
out presentation to the governor nnd
without his signature and approval.
12.
Relator shows that his removal from
the office of railroad commissioner of
Georgia by the legislature was Illegal,
void and of no effect. In that at the
time of his suspension from said office,
by the governor, the legislature wee
then In session, and that under-the
terms of the act of 1879 the govmvir
had no power to suspend a commis
sioner while the legislature was In ses
sion, and that, therefore, the legisla
ture acquired no Jurisdiction to remove
him under said act of 1879.
13.
Relator shows that his removal from
said office Is Illegal, void and of no ef
fect In that the charges preferred
against him by the governor In his
communication to the legislature were
of a purely political nature, and did not
charge relator with conduct amounting
to misfeasance or malfeasance In of.
flee, or incapacity on his part, to fill
said office. Said charges, therefore,
were not legally sufficient to give the
legtslature Jurisdiction to remove re
lator under the provielone of the act of
1.879. •
14.
Relator shows that said removal from
office Is Illegal, void and of no effect,
In that the acta charged against him
by the governor In his message to the
legislature, giving the reasons for the
suspension of relator, were acts which
did not have In them the legal quality
of wrong, and which, therefore,'did not
afford the legislature Jurisdiction over
relator other than by articles of Im
peachment. regularly preferred as re
quired by the constitution and laws of
Georgia.
15. . .. !
Relator shows that hla attempted re
moval from office is Illegal, void and of
effect because the legislature had
no Jurisdiction to remove him under
and by virtue of the provisions of the
net of 1907. unless said legislature
should in terms find that relator was
guilty of the charges preferred against
him by the governor, -nr ■ ft ■
••• !;•'*.7i.i!" '<16.
Relator shows that hi* attempted re
moval of. the vote of both houses of the
legislature was Illegal, void nnd of no
effect. In that the resolutions purport
ing to remove him from said office were
not based on the message of tho gov
ernor, nor on any findings of fact by
said legislature on the truth of the
charges set out In said message,
17.
Relator shows that his attempted re
moval from office was Illegal, void and
of no effect. In that portion of the act of
1897 under which relator's removal wtui
attempted, was; repealed by the act ap
proved 23d day of August, 1907, pro-
vldlngfor the’organization, powers and
duties of the railroad commission of
Georgia. ’
18,
Relator sMows that his attempted re
moval from office wns Illegal, void and
of no effect. In that that portion of the
act of 1879 under which relator’s re
moval was attempted was repealed by
the act approved 23d day of August,
1907, providing for the organization,
powers and duties of tho railroad com
mission of Georgia.
19.
Relator shows that hia attempted re
moval from office Is'Illegal, void and of
nd effect). In’that the alleged'power of
"recall" clnlpicd by the governor as the
l>nsis <<f relator's suspension, did not
exist, because relator was not appoint
ed by tho governor, but was elected by
the people of tho stato of Georgia, at a
general election.
20.
Relator shows that his attempted
suspension and removal from the office
of railroad commissioner la Illegal, void
and of no effect. In that relator was
elected to said office by a vote of the
people of Georgia, at a general election,
and he did not hold his office by virtue
of the appointment of the governor, nnd
that tho said legislature of Georgia,
therefore, had no power to remove re
lator from office, except upon articles
of Impeachment duly preferred against
him and tried. ' '
Relator shows that his attempted re
mov alfrom office Is Illegal, void and of
no effect, In that the resolutions adopt
ed by the senate and house of repre
sentattves were not aoDroved by the
governor, na required by tho constitu
tion of the stato of Georgia.
22.
Relator shows that hts attempted re
moval from office Is Illegal, void and of
no effect, tn that the same was contrary
to all principles of Justice and equity
upon which the government of the
United States and of the state of Geor
gia are founded. In that relator was re
moved from said office without any trial
or without any finding that he was In
fact guilty of the charges nreferred by
the governor, or any of them.
■ 22.
Relator further shows that the ap
pointment of respondent to the office of
railroad commissioner of Georgia was
Illegal, void and without any warrant
nr authority of law. In that there ex<
Isted no vacancy In the office of rail
road commissioner at the time of said
appointment.
24.
Relator further shows that the said
respondent has no legal right or title to
said office, and that in taking posses
sion thereof and ousting relator from
said office the said respondent Is acting
without warrant of law. depriving your
relator of his said office to which he
was legally entitled and commissioned
for a term of six years, as hereinabove
set forth.
Wherefore, relator, both in i his ca
pacity as a citizen and taxpayer of the
state of Georgia, and as claimant of the
office of railroad commissioner of
Georgia, legally 'entitled thereto, pre
sents this Information In the nature of
a writ of quo warranto, and prays that
this court may Inquire Into the right
and title of relator to the office of rail
road commissioner of Georgia, and Into
the alleged claim of sail ofllco.brr*-
spondent, and may oust the said re
spondent from said office and restore
the same to relator,, who Is legally
entitled thereto, as hereinabove set out.

P. Belmont, noted society woman and a
leader In the fight for equal suffrage,
today coat defiance at the smart set of
this country who scoff at the woman

of thb suffrage cause." she continued,

that all classes of people stand should
er to shoulder in the fight for the
cause.”
"Rut don't vou mind the criticism
that has been heaped on vou by women
prominent In tho ‘400?’'' Mrs. Belmont

eyes flashing fire. "What care 1 for tho
attacks of those whose main objection
Is that the plain people will take part
in the movement. ' .1.
"Opposition neyer_ discouraged me.
Instead, it encourages me. There Is
nothing I like better than a good fight.
"'The greatest good for tho greatest
number* Is my motto. It is a good
motto. It la a motto that a good many
disgruntled society women should ad
here to."
