STATE CALLS
! Man Acts as Good
Samaritan; Stabbed
E. Nace Uses Knife on S.
Mason, Who Had Be
friended Him.
Commission to Ask Explanation of
Reasons for Violation
of Its Order.
Georgia railroads will be on the
carpet Monday morning, when they
will b#* asked by the State Railroad
Commission to explain why they wilt
not be violating general order No. 14.
promulgated by tin* commission, in
withdrawing their instragtate inter
changeable mileage after December
17, b.h they have signified their in
tention of doing.
Chairman c M. Candler, of th**
commission, was in Chicago when he
heard that the railroads had filed no
tice of this intention. He promptly
wired back to Atlanta, calling the
meeting for Monday morning. It will
be executive, and all of the explain
ing wil! be done behind closed doors.
General order No. 14 was framed to
prevent the railroads from withdraw
ing or changing their rates without
first obtaining the consent of the
commission to do so. The railroads
have not been disposed to concede the
validity of this regulation, and are
expected to light their case before the
commission, first, by the contention
that the withdrawal of the mileage
does not constitute a violation of this
regulation, and, second, that the regu
lation isn’t any good, anyway.

Czar's order was brought about by
representations made by Dowager
Queen Alexandra, of England, to 1 er
sister, the Dowager Empress Marie.
The Count at present is an under
graduate at Oxford University and
the reason put forward by Queen
Alexandra toward stopping the mar
riage are said to have arisen from
an undergraduate escapade In which
the young Count figured prominently.
Empress Marie was deeply Inter
ested in the proposed alliance and she
took the matter up with her eon, the
Czar. Within a few days the formal
announcement was made that the
wedding would not take place.

now In London and have announced

portion of the winter there so Prin
cess Irene can be near her fiance.
