THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1906. 3 Government May Not Per mit the Georgia to Come Soon. Washington, Sept. 11.—Governor Terrell, of Georgia, arrived in Wash ington today ar.d had a conference of ,ome length with Secretary of the Xovy Bonaparte at noon. He aaid the L„ple of his state are anxious that the big battleship Georgia, now being completed, be brought to either Sa vannah or Brunswick for commission. Secretary Bonaparte has not yet an nounced his decision on the governor's request, but the department Is known to be adverse to sending the warship to (ieorgla, to be commissioned later, for her silver service. If the service n ready to be presented at the time of commission it Is likely that the re quest will be granted. A controversy has also arisen be tween the Louisiana state officials of Jfew Orleans, and people of that city and state generally, and the officials of the navy department. The Louisiana people Insist that the big battleship be run up to New Orleans for her silver service, which will be presented the latter part of October or early In No vember, while navy officials say that owing to the vessel's draft and the changeable condition of the channel between the Jetties and the New Or leans hnrbor, they prefer not to enter Into the undertaking. They have consequently promised to send the ship to the mouth of the Mississippi and anchor her off the Jet ties for the ceremonies. ipplyIecIrter FOR NEW RAILROAD 8ppH.1l to The Georgian. .
