FIGHTS U.S. HERE Suit Against Concern Under the Anti-Trust Law Is Heard in Federal Court. The dissolution suit against the American Naval Stores Company of Savannah, entered by the government under the Sherman anti-trust act, again was brought into court when the hearing of demurrer proceedings began today before the United States circuit court of appeals this morning. The government some time ago en tered suit at Savannah, charging that the American Naval Stores Company of New York, the American Naval Stores Company of West Virginia, the National Transportation and Terminal Company of New York, the National Transportation and Terminal Company of New Jersey. Peninsula Naval Stores Company and Union Nava! Stores Company are entered into a combina tion in restraint of trade. The suit further declared that the American Naval Stores Company con trolled 75 per cent of the world’s yield of turpentine and resin, and 90 per cent of the yield in America. The com pany, it is alleged, was in such a posi tion that it arbitrarily could fix the price of turpentine and resin at any mark it wished. If the demurrei is upheld, no fur ther proceedings will be allowed against the so-called trust, but if it is overruled the suit will be continued. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, OCTOBEn'IO. 1912. MILEAGE BATTLE BEGINS BEFORE BIG M Railroad Commission Outlines Questions Involved and i Hears Conductor. I The Georgia railroad commission called for a hearing of the petition of I the traveling men in the famous mile age "pulling" dispute at 10:30 o'clock this morning. So numerous were the attorneys pro and eon and the witnesses summoned that the small audience chamber of the commission was found to be far too small for the accommodation of the crowd, and the hearing was transferred to the hall of the house of representa tives. Before proceeding with the hearing Chairman Candler, of the commission, reviewed former hearings, and ex plained why the commission had called an additional hearing, after the July sitting of the commission. The chairman said the commission did not think it proper to pass upon such a question as the one petitioner* presented, when the legislature was considering a bill to provide the identi cal thing the traveling men sought from the commission. The chairman also stated that previous hearings were neither as complete nor as clear as the commission desired, in endeavoring to reach a just and proper decision in the matter. Eight Questions Involved. The commission, through its chair man. placed all parties to the contro versy on notice that it considered eight legal questions involved, and desired the hearing addressed to the same. The legal phases of the controversy upon which the commission desires light are: (1) Having prescribed maxi mum passenger rates for each railroad in the state, has the commission the power to require the sale of tickets a! less than prescribed maximum rates’ (2) Has the commission the light to require the sale of interchangeable mileage at prescribed maximum rates or less? (3) Has the commission the right to pass upon the reasonableness of rules, regulations and conditions as to the use of mileage tickets sold at less than maximum rates? (4) Has the commission the power to direct that if mileage is sold or accepted at rates less than the prescribed maximum, the rules and regulations attached shall be such as the commission may deem rea sonable? (5) Has the commission the power to condemn one reasonable reg ulation and prescribe in its stead an • other reasonable regulation, less incon venient or burdensome in its applica tion? (61 Is it unlawful discrimination for a carrier to honor mileage sold by another carrier, at reduced rates, from one intending passenger, and to refuse to sell similar mileage to another in tending passenger directly' applying for its purchase? (7) Does the fact that different forms of mileage books are sold bring such transportation within the interstate commerce law, and to the exclusion of state legislation, when one of the forms issued is used in intra state traffic? (8) Has the commission pow’er to order the sale, acceptance, in terchange or use of constructually is sued interchangeable mileage upon any different conditions than those named in the contract between the parties? Conductor on Stand. After outlining the commission’s de sires in the hearing, the chairman or dered witnesses called in the following order: Witnesses called by the com mission, witnesses for the railroads, witnesses for the petitioners. After witnesses have been heard, statements will be heard from such private citizens as desire to be heard. Argument is to be confined to two speeches on each side, the petitioners to open and con clude. Just before noon Conductor H. C. Chiles, 'of the Georgia. Savannah and Florida, was called to the stand. He went into detail as to the great inconvenience and injustice to the rail roads of requiring conductors to "pull” mileage. He said that a conductor could easily lift from five to fifteen tickets while he was "pulling" one mileage strip. This witness' testimony was deliv ered under questions asked by the chairman of the railroad commission. The examination of witnesses will consume all of today's time, and is largely a reiteration of testimony here tofore delivered in the same matter. The hearing is expected to run through tomorrow, and possibly into Saturday. After the hearing is closed, the com mission will consider the case, prob ably in executive session, and it may be next week before a decision is handed down. Saves Leg of Boy.

HANGING AS FINE ART IS DISCUSSED Scientists Hear Paper on His tory and Progress of Legal Executions. LONDON. Oct 10.—Hanging as a tine art was discussed by the scientists of the British association here just before it separated. One of the last papers read dealt with an extraordinary subject, "Hanging Without Tears.” It was Dr. L. Frederic Wood-Jones who introduced this rather grizzly subject, but, as he explained, it had its uses, because, "if you are going to hang a man. you might as well hang him properly." With skulls of notorious murderers as illustrations and lantern slides of gib bets. he related the history of hanging for a thousand years. "The Anglo-Saxon,” he said, "has a great love of hanging, and the science has constantly improved. In medieval times many of the places where they hanged people were provided with a kitchen with big pots of pitch. The bodies were pitched all over and made water proof and able to resist the atmosphere. Then they were hung out as a warning to other offenders . Bodies Popular Sights. "This was the beginning of gibbeting. Thames pirates once formed one of the most popular sights of gay London, and there was great disappointment among inkeepers when the pirates were no long er allowed to be hung in chains.” Hanging was also used as an anes thetic in connection with the old practice of killing a man for high treason by hanging, drawing and quartering him. This kind of hanging did not necessarily kill a man, for five men hanged in 1447 —gentlemen, belonging to the duke of Gloucester—had been marked out to be quartered and drawn, when their pardons arrived. They were cut dowm, and soon W’ere none the worse. This year a case came to light which showed that the up-to-date method of hanging is the same as the Romans used to practice on the Nubians. A man was executed in 18«5 by Cacraft, one of Scotland's most fashionable practitioners. "His skull," said Dr. Wood-Jones, "showed lesions exactly similar to those in the skulls of the Nubians hanged in Roman days -caused by the right-handed knot under the jaw. This produces the same effect as the boxer's knock-out blow.” PLANTER GOES BANKRUPT BUYING MULES FOR FARM Buying mules to work Ms farm bankrupted J. B. Alford, of Fayette county, Georgia, according to his peti tion of voluntary bankruptcy filed in the United States court cleric’s office today. His assets are given as sl'9o and liabilities are $613.36. The sched ule shows that he owes notes on six mules bought in 1908. 1909, 1911 and 1912, but, in spite of his purchases, he declared that he had but two when he filed his petition.

But it has been found that these salves only clog the pores and can not penetrate to the inner skin below the epidermis where the eczema germs are lodged.
