THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND X FAYS. W. 4 A. LESSEES Atlanta to see record galaxy of stage stars at CHRISTMAS FUND BENEFIT AT ATLANTA THEATER FRIDAY] f Legislative Committee Investi gates Chattanooga Terminals. Southern Anxious to Lease. Members of the Western and At lantic Railroad Commission of the State Legislature are in Chattanooga Thursday investigating the Chatta nooga terminals and other Tennes see property of the Stale road, fol lowing a meeting held in the State Capitol Wednesday. It virtually was decided at Wed nesday's meeting that whatever road is given the control of the Western and Atlantic will be required to dou ble track the lim* from Atlanta to Chattanooga, and that in order to se cure this improvement the lease will have to run for a longer period than heretofore. Whether this arrangement will meet with the approval of the Nash ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, the present lessee of the road, and which, it is understood, desires a renewal, is not known. Southern Anxious to Lease. It is generally understood, however, that the Southern is anxious to lease tlie line and is willing to double track the road on condition that the lease run for a long term of years. The commission has not yet been able to obtain any definite figures on the coat of double tracking the road, chairman Gunby Jordan presented a letter from Vice President H. D Spencer, of the Southern Railway who stated that the cost of the im provement could hardly be estimated successfully until a survey and report had been made b\ a competent engi neer. Mr. Spencer, however, stated that the last double tracking the Southern system did. from Chatta nooga to Meridian, Miss., cost $30,000 a mile, while the cost of double track ing the line from Atlanta to Gaines ville ran from $-0,000 to $80,000 oc*r mile. Based on these figures. : bout $50,- 000 a mile is considered a fair aver age for the cost of double tracking the Western and Atlantic. Possibility of Sale Suaqestion. Mr. Jordan told the other members of the commission that certain ques tions should be asked any road that applies for a leasp of the State line, which indicates the possibility of the commission recommending the sale of the property when it makes its report to the Legislature. The roads, he declared, should be asked how much they are willing to pay for the right of way, how much they will pay for the road with the properties not nfecessary for the op eration of the road taken out. and also how much they will be willing to nay for the Atlanta terminals on the plaz i system proposed by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. Only six members attended the Wednesday meeting and made the trip to Chattanooga. They were chairman Gunby Jordan. Senator M. C. Tarver. Representatives L. R. Akin. Alvin D. Greene, E. Cole and Hen ry J. Full bright. Wife's Use of Eggs Figures in Divorce CHICAGO, Dec. 11.- The high price of j eggs interferes with the domestic bliss | of r. l*. Swanson, contractor.

Gle tson, whose daugh ter is a friend of Mitts McCann, made public the offer of reward and the wording of the offer indicated that the theory that the missing girl fell ; victim of v bite slavers perhaps work ing with tiie poisoned needle has not been abandoned. Harrison McCann, brother of the i missing girl, to-day admitted that his sister received a letter on the morn- : ing of her disappearance and that she j wept over it. hut he declared it was I from a girl friend.
