senate
Although Senate Mann told the
membei -of the committee today that
he would carry his fight foi the meas
ure to the floor of the senate, the bill
will go to the tippet nouse heavily han
dicapped.
Local representatives of foreign life
insurance companies opposed the bill
strenuously, an . the hearings before the
judiciary committee were conducted
with vigor. The foreign companies
maintained that the passage of the
meas.m would drive a score of the
best insurance companies out of the
Georgia field and that the bill was de
signed by Geotgiu companies to kill
competition. The local companies
through Senator Mann, pointed to the
success of a similar law in Texas.

Under the present venue laws, the
outraged citizens of Newton county.are
forced to carry thrlr damage suits to
Macon, the official residence of the pow -

unsuccessful before Macon juries, they

power companies in the same < lass with
railroads in allowing suits to originate
where the damage occur*.

TELEPHONE CUTS
i Memphis Commissioners Pass
Ordinance for Big Reduction
in Rates Over Protest.
MEMPHIS. TENN. July 31. In spite
of appeals from the highest officials in
th- <’umberland Telephone and Tele
graph Company of the Bell system, the
city commission has passed an ordi
nance which, if enforced, will reduce
the present telephone rates nearly 50
pc cent The ordinance also requires
improved service.
Prominent Atlanta officials were
present, in the rounc.il chamber when
Mayor E. H. Crump and the commis
sioners listened to the third reading of
what is termed here- as the "anti-tele
phone monopoly” law.
Colonel VV. T. Gentry, president of the
Cumberland company and the Southern i
, Bell Telegraph and Telegraph Compa
ny. who hurried to Memphis from Eu
rope stopping only long enough in At
. lanta to get Vice President J. M. B.
lloxi-v and to summon Leland Hume,
general manager, from Nashville, was
on hand with learned counsel, but the
mayor and commissioners informed the
telephone people that the Memphis pub-;
lie had long since tired of "promises.”
The action for lower rates and im
proved service has followed the United
States supreme court ruling in favor of
the city of Louisville, the court holding
that the city had a right to ordain the
rates.
"The tight has just begun." said
President Gentry "We will carry the
issue to the highest courts. We had
just tis well- quit business as to allow
every municipality to dictate as to the
mtes and manner of conducting out
business."
