Grain shippers were the losers. The commission held that under re cent direction of the supreme court of the United States it could not award damages to shippers of grain even if railroads discriminate against them by giving elevator allowances to their competitors. By decision of the supreme court of the United States, which the commis sion followed, it is pointed out that a railroad for competitive reasons may i grant an elevator allowance, although no transportation service is rendered by the shippers owning the elevators. This is the first case that the inter state commerce commission has decided since the supreme court rendered its decision. MAYOR IS FREED FROM HIS WIFE. WHO PEEPED NEW ALBANY, IND., Dee. 24.

I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24. 1912. |[~AT THE THEATERS | j GRAND BILL THIS WEEK IDEAL HOLIDAY OFFERING Very diversified and uniformly good, the Grand bill of vaudeville presents an ideal holiday offering. It runs the gamut of entertainment. beginning with an equili brist. followed by a good mu§ic and ■patter” team, a poseur, a blackface artist, a sketch, a quartet and a juggling quintet. There are no high lights- no act which could be considered so much belter than the others as to deserve especial praise. In fact, if you are not too critical you could easily call it a bill of headliners— or feature acts, at least —and not be far wrong. “Dinkelspiel’s Christmas” is in the proper spirit of the season, and is Hobart at his best, well interpreted by Bernard A. Keinold, a splendid German interpreter, and a very capable company. It is full of quiet, even penetrating, humor, and each of the five characters is well handled. Probably the best act on the bill is the Empire Comedy Four, featuring a Ger man comedian Joe Jenny—who Is a mu sical comedy in himself. The singing of this quartet is rar above the average— and the comedy is on a par with the music. Fred Jarvis and Frederica Harrison, in a song, dance and “patter” sketch, proved a delightful quarter of an hour, and. though occupying second place on the bill and working while a rain-belated audi ence was getting settled, they “made good” in line ‘btyle. Jarvis has a most infectious laugh which he uses to good ad vantage. Miss Hobble Gordone, in statuary re productions, was well received, as w r as Edgar Berger, the gymnast; Lew Haw kins, in blackface comedy, and the .Jug gling Normans. All in all. the Christmas week offering at the Grand is excellent. “FROLICS OF 1912” AN UP-TO THE-MINUTE HODGE PODGE Al the Lyric last night, in spite of chill ing rain and biting winds, a splendid audience hade welcome to the “Frolics of 1!'12,” a hodge-podge of fun and songs, with lots of music, pretty girls, and terp sichorean revelries. There is nothing overwhelmingly star tling in the “frolics,” but there is a whole lot <>f good, refreshing entertainment. The company of girls and boys support Rube Welch and Kilty Francis, former stars of “The Midnight Sons” company (although they need very little support), and there are several really good song hits. < Hie especially, “Because It Can’t Sit I’own,” is well sung by Katherine Byron, an exreptlonally good member of the east. The Yalto duo, Russian dancers, fea ture Victor Herbert’s “Kiss Waltz.” ami also perforin a hit of characteristic heel and toe work which is appreciated. “The Frolics of 1912” Is well worth a Ir’.p up Lyricway, ami will prove a splen did entertainment for the Christmas holi days. Here nightly all week and with mati nees today, tomorrow. Thursday and Sat urday. ’ IEMMA BUNTING AND COMPANY “COME BACK” AFTER A REST Little Emma Bunting and her players, after a week's rest, return to business at the Forsyth, opening the week’a engage ment last night in Channing Pollock’s “The Little Gray Lady.” ami a splendid crowd greeted the return. The plaj’ Is one without, a hero, but this does nob necessarily mean there are no heroic fig ures in the unfolding of the story Each of the members is well placed in the cast, and Miss Bunting has a role en tirely suited to her George Whitaker has a part which fits him splendidly, and the work of the entire company last night was greted with enthusiasm. “The Little Gray Lady” will be pre sented at matinee* today, Christmas day, Thursday ami Saturday, ami every night all the week.

Bran non, a merchant in the southeast part of Cherokee county, today is under SIO,OOO bond for appearance at the next term of superior court. He will answer the charge of fatally wounding Roy Robbins, of Milton county, in an altercation at his store Saturday night. He died Sunday. Brannon claims that Robbins went to his store Saturday night in an Intoxicated condition and started the trouble that led to his death, when he raised a row over the price of a buggy whip. Brannon de clares Robbins became so boisterous de offensive, that lie ordered him from the store, and upon his refusal to go started to eject him. Robbins, he declares, showed fight and in the clash that ensued he hit Robbins over the head with the butt of a gun, inflicting the wounds that caused death.

ILL., Dec. 24.—A posse today is seeking train robbers who climbed over the tender of the fast Chicago and Alton “Hummer,” which runs between Chicago and St. Louis, covered the engineer and fireman with revolvers, forced them to uncouple the engine and baggage car from the rest of the train and run it a short distance ahead, where five unsuccessful attempts to blow the express safe were made with nitroglycerin and dynamite. The robbery occurred near Iles Junction. After wot king 45 minutes with the explosives, the bandits fled when fif teen deputies from Springfield arrived on a switch engine which was rushed to the scene after Flagman Horace Smith, of the passenger train, who had been fired upon, ran to the operator’s station at Iles and had him wire to th" city for officers. Headlight Darkened. With headlight darkened, the switch engine approached. There was a fight between the deputies and the bandits, but the latter escaped. A sack of corporation bonds and what are thought to be lottery tickets, as well as a number of small packages, were taken from the car by the bandits, who later threw away the loot as the posse were in close pursuit. The pas sengers on the train were not molested. It is thought by local railroad offi cials that the two men caught the train while it stopped in this city. The en gineer, Sam McLaughlin, was forced to throw up his hands at the point of two revolvers. Both McLaughlin and his fireman, W. A. Sullivan, were forced to leave the engine after the train had been stopped, uncouple the engine and the express car from the rest of the train and run some distance farther on. Flagman Gives Alarm. While one of the bandits held Fred Ayers, the messenger of the express company, and the engine crew at bay with a revolver, the second robber dy namited the safe. In the meantime the flagman had gone back to give the alarm. He walked to Iles and informed the opera tor, who telegraphed the Chicago and Alton agent in Springfield. Within a few minutes of the news a hastily gathered posse was sent in pursuit of the bandits on the switch engine. Although the posse was only 300 yards away from the fleeing bandits, the latter were able to evade their pur suers. A fusillade of revolver shots which began when the bandits were sighted by the posse was kept up dur ing the pursuit. BODY BEATS ENGINE U. S. SAVANTS SHOW WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. —The efficien cy of the human body Is considerably greater than that of the best steam en gine ever constructed, the department of agriculture has found after extensive experiments with its respiration calorim eter. The efficiency of the human body is 20 per cent, which means that five units of energy must be supplied by the food to provide one unit of work. The efficiency of the best steam engine is 14 per cent. The experiments have failed to show that mental work makes de mands for physical energy'. HONEY CHEAPER NEXT year l say DEALERS CHICAGO.

J SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Executive Secretary Ulm is more or less tearing his hair nowadays, because of the fact that the returns for the late ' 7' state-wide justice of the peace elec tions are entreme 'y slow coming in Notwithstanding the fact that these elections over 1.800 of them — were held on De cember 7, two good weeks ago, not more than 1,200 returns have been sent in. This leaves the state shy some 600 justices of the peace—or about two-thirds of the entire number. The law is ex- tremely vague as to how the returns shall be made, or, at least, as to who shall receive them. One section directs the secretary of state to take charge of them; another names the governor as the proper person, and still another says the ordinaries. Ulm thinks there may be three or four more sections bearing upon the matter, but he has not yet had time to look them up. Anyway, the idea the executive de partment desires to get abroad is that the commissions are ready for all the duly elected justices, if only' they will have their election returns properly forwarded to —well, say the secretary of state. There are more than 1,800 of these commissions, and it was some job mak ing them out and getting the governor's and the executive secretary’s signa tures attached. All that has to be done now is to fill in the blanks, and forward 'the commissions. But that can not be done, of course, unless the right names are on file with the executive department for the fill ing in. The joint congressional committee on Federal aid to the construction of good roads throughout the nation, of which Representative Gordon Lee Is a mem ber, has written Governor Brown in viting his suggestions as to how the committee shall proceed to the consid eration of its business, now that it is about to be called together. The committee particularly requests that the governor communicate with it with respect to the general plan upon which Federal aid shall be exended, to what extent Federal and local author ities should co-operate and likely would co-operate, what character of roads should be considered as eligible, wheth er Federal funds should apply to con struction and maintenance, or merely to maintenance, what extent, if any, should Federal supervision obtain, and any individual plan or suggestion for Federal and state co-operation he may have in mind. The committee particularly Invites the governor to answer it fully and freely, as the serious work of preparing a plan for congressional consideration Is to be perfected as rapidly as possi ble. The Savannah News does not look with favor upon the proposition to make the inauguration of Governor elect Slaton the occasion of a state military display. The News says: It is not expected that Governor elect Slaton will agree to have his Inauguration made occasion for a big display of the state's military strength. Os course, there Is glory and honor in being governor of Georgia. But there is a democratic spirit throughout the state that would frown upon a military pa geant when the governor takes the oath of office. The governor-elect has never shown himself to be de- ■ ' 'NSVA ' ■'' 7 CASTORIA .■ -. ". j- v ' ...... . ; BY JAMES B. NEVIN. sirous of pomp and public display of himself. He has been a hard worker in the people's interest, in a quiet, straightforward way. The proposed outburst probably' will not take place on his inauguration day. The idea of those advocating a mil itary display in Atlanta on the day of Mr. Slaton's inauguration does not seem to be, however, that it should be held particularly with any eye to glori fying the new governor, but that it should be held rather as a fit and prop er compliment to the state's militia it self. Os course, Mr. Slaton will be quite as much governor after he Is sworn in, whether the military parades that day or no. The idea is, nevertheless, that Mr. Slaton's election was overwhelm ing. and the assembling of the state troops in Atlanta that day could in no wise be taken as an attempt to play politics or emphasize the fact that a new executive was about to be sworn in, and that he himself desired espe cially to impress that fact upon the public mind. The state legislature has shown un usual Interest in the military of Geor gia of late, and since it is such a fine body of men. so well organized and equipped—in short, such a credit to the state —it has occurred to some that It would be nothing more than right to gather it together when the public might look it over and see what it thinks of it. And it not a military display when a, governor is inaugurated, why a mili tary display when a president is in augurated? Everybody favors the lat ter. Says The. Macon Telegraph: The question now is. What does the governor of North Carolina think of the governor of South Car olina? That may be the question, but if it is, there follows another question im mediately: Is the answer fit to print? There is no doubt whatever that a serious effort will be made in the next legislature to provide the machinery for a constitutional convention in Georgia. Representative Grover C. Edmond son, of Brooks county, has announced his intention to introduce a bill along this line early in the first session, and to press it seriously and earnestly. Moreover, he is encouraged to think, after talking with several members of the incoming house, that it likely may be passed without serious trouble. The Macon Telegraph, conservative, and thoroughly representative of the rock-ribbed Democracy l of the state, believes the suggestion is a good one’. It says that the constitution of the state might wisely be revised once in every generation. The present constitution was adopt ed in 1877—more than 35 years ago. Georgia, so many people think, has outgrown the old constitution. Every legislature that comes along tinkers with it—and largely because, In many ways, It needs tinkering with. The idea of Mr. Edmondson, however. Is that the tinkering should be undertaken as one Intelligent job—and in tl»t he will be backed by many of his fellow citizens. HOLIDAY RATES —VIA— N, C. A ST.
