LOURT BATTLE
DVER PAVING
RESUMED
Street Railway Company Seeks
Permanent Injunction Against
City in Grant Street Case.
The somewhat famous injunction
case of the Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company against the city, in the
matter of the Grant street paving,
came to trial Saturday in Judge W. D.
Ellis’ court, and, judging by the line
up of legal talent and expert wit
nesses, and so on, it will continue into
next week.
The case grew out of the demand by
the city that the street railway com
pany provide a concrete base for its
tracks on Grant street, under a re
cent city ordinance. The railway
company wanted to use a crushed
stone Base instead. To enforce its de
mand, the city proceeded to construct
a fence across the tracks, and the
company then sought an injunction
restraining the city from interfering
with its traffic on Grant street,
A temporary restraining order was
granted, and the hearing that began
Saturday was to determine if the
permanent injunction should he
granted, and, incidentally, if the city
could compel the company to install
a concrete base for the Grant street
tracks. g 2
The company, represented by Col
quitt and Conyers, is taking two posi
tions in its case. The first is that the
ordinance, which was adopted in May,
does not apply to theg Grant street
paving, which was provided prior to
the passage of the ordinance provid
ing the concrefe base.
The other position is that the con
crete base for car tracks is becoming
obsolete, and the company’s lawyers
state they have expert engineers who
will testify that most of the larger
cities of the country are abandoning
that style of base, N
The city is represented by City At
torney Mayson and W. D. Ellis, Jr.,
Assistant City Attorney. .

In Divorce Pleas

via Harrison, informed him that she
‘didn’t love him, that she regretted
*ver marrving him, and that she in
tended to rid_herself of him in some
manner that she might marry some
other man.” He declared she even
went to the extent of threatenimg nis
life if such a drastic measure should
be necessary to get rid of him.
Mrs. Pluma Watkins, who married
in Bartow, Fla., December 4, 1913, and

Stefansson Is Confident
Land He Discovered Is
Of Value to Canada
(By International News Service.)
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Sept. 19.—
Rejoicing here to-day over the satety
of Vilhjalmar Stefansson, head of the
Canadian Arctic expedition, was in
creased by the possibility that the
‘Dominion may acquire a big tract of
new territory as a result of the ex
plorations of the intrepid discoverer.
Stefansson has rejorted tlie find
ing of 100 miles of coast land above
the rugged and little known archi
pelago which forms a chain beyond
the upper line.of North America and
west of Banks Land, which is believed
to be the fringe of a continent. Ite
value as regards minerals or other
products remains yet to be seen, how
ever
From the meager information con
tained in messages brought back to
civilization by Captain 8. F. Cottle on
the schooner Ruby, the explorer be
lieves his discovery is of great im
portance,.
Sails in New Ship.
“In his new ship, the Polar Bear,
which replaces the lost Karluk, Ste
fansson will now strike out with $2
degrees north latitude.and 145 de
grees west longitude as his ultimate
destination,
That point is suppuosed to be his

WILSON T 0 URGE
LS T 0 A
NELTRALTY
WASHINGTON, Sept, 19.—Sweep-
Ing amendments to the neutrality
laws of the United States will be rec
ommended to Congress by President
‘\\’ilson, it was learned at the White
‘House to-day. The President and the
leading members of his Cabinet re
sponsible for the enforcement of the
neutrality laws—the Secretaries of
the Navy, Treasury and Commerce
and the Attorney General—have been
amazed to find that under existing
laws it is possible to plot against the
good name of the United States; to
conspire to destroy the country's free
institutions, and not be liable to any
Federal law. And so far the attempts
to punish persons responsible under
State laws have proved a complete
failure.
As an Instance It is cited that there
is no law to punish persons who send
coal and supplies to belligerent war
ships outside of the three-mile limit
other than the customs laws. This,
too, despite the fact that both sides in
the European war have time and
again used the United States for sup
ply stations. Then there is the case
of the American correspondent, James
F. J. Archibald. Officials frankly ad
mit that, while President Wilson has
decreed he must be jalled for acting
ag messenger for Ambassador Dumba,
they have been unable as yet to de
termine under just what law they can
prosecute him, or even if they can
prosecute at all.
The general propaganda that has
been carried on throughout the United
States can not be stopped, becausge no
law is being violated. It is expected
the President will make specific ref
erences to a great number of cases in
his message to Congress advocating
the suggested reform legislation.
It also is expected the President wiil
advocate a more stringent regulation
of espionage. Present laws alfecting
the protection of the American de
fense system are admittedly anti
quated and useless.

(By International News Service.)
DETROIT, MICH., Sept. I?.—-1!0!‘
ry Ford, the automobile magnate, has
come out with what he calls a “stage
gering blow for the armament
crowd.” Mr. Ford claims he has a
scheme for building submarines at
one-fourth the cost of those now In
use and one-fourth the size that can
be run by gasoline and can “carry &
pill at the end of a pole” with sufi:
cient explosive power to hoist out «f
the sea the mightiest dreadnought
ever built. )
He will go to Washington next
week and tell Secretary Danlels, of
the Navy Department, all about it,
and seems sure the Secretary will be
Interested. He would not go into de
tails as to the construction of the
submarines, but said positively tha
ldea was practical, and if the new
type was adopted the United States
would have an undersea navy that
would be second to none in the world.
He says the vessels will be easlly
maneuvered and will be in effect just
like a fish In water.
