4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 30 DAYS NOTICE Hearing Before Commission Takes Place in Nation al Capital. NEW POINT DEVELOPED IN DAM AGE SUIT AGAINST STREET CAR COMPANY Man With Transfer Skipped Two Crowded Cars and Was Put Off the Third. >■ Washington. 'Sept. 12.—The full membership of the Interstate commerce commission was present at a hearing this morning over the question of ex port cotton rates. Several score of railroad men from cotton-carrying lines and cotton shippers were present, amp ly represented by eminent counsel. The commission was naked to modify , , „ n .. that provision of the law requiring I pa , ny *° r railwayii to Rive 30 day** notice by publication before changing rates. John Slmrp Willis ms, minority lender in the tiatlonnl house amt n large producer of cotton on his Mississippi plantation*, occu pied a sent at the table f«#r counsel. U Green, freight trsITIe manager of the .South ern railroad. In urging that the old method of announcing changes In rate* he contin ued. Mid the new plan would reduce the profit to the American producers. The com mere la I future of the South, he consid ered, *wna largely hound up In this Issue. In order to see If he can be legally ejected from a car became he le two cars behind the time punched on his transfer when the two care which passed him were crowded so he could hardly have gotten a foothold, A. 8. Schell, a skilled machinist living In East Point, has brought eult against the Georgia Hallway and Electric Com- MALT TAX MATTER TO COME UP AGAIN In hi, petition, which *u filed on Wednesday In the superior court bj his attorneys, E. F. Childress and J, H, Pitman, he claims that he got a trans fer from the Houston and Hunter line to the East Point cars. He admits that the transfer declared It was good only for the first car on the route, but claims that the llrst two cars to pass him at the transfer point, Whitehall, near Broad street, were crowded to the steps. He got on the third car and the conductor told him his transfer was "N. G.," and told him further that he was “man enough to put him off”—all of this, so the peti tioner claims, without provocation on hla part. He says that the conductor called him In substance a dead-beat and that thereupon he told the street car employee quietly that ha would not pay or leave the car. Insisting that tha transfer be accepted. He says that he was then forcibly ejected from the car at the corner of Whitehall and Park streets.-' After this recital of al leged facts the plaintiff proceeds to tell why he la entitled to damages from the street railway people. He says that acting under its franchise the de fendant haa to placed Ita double tracks that competition Is shut off and monopoly Is formed. He claims that the company could, were It so disposed, furnish enough cars to handle the traffic comfortably or could attach trailers or supplement ary cars on the same schedules already run, as Is done In other cities of less population than Atlanta. The plaintiff claims that the defendant company neglects to properly care for Its pat rons, although It has a full knowledge of the Inconveniences suffered. Mr. Schell, who Is a skilled mechanic, has, he says, ridden on the cars from East Point and paid hla fare, practical ly every day for many years, and that the conductor knowingly misrepresent ed him when he placed him In the hearing of other people on the car In the category of dead-beats and dishon est persons. At the last meeting of the county commissioners the street car company was requested to give better service on the East Point line. Druggists Hope to License Re duced.

"Gee, this hoboln' bus iness ain't linlf as much fun as Jimmy Sullivan said It was. Guess I'll go back to school." For the prodigal returned after three days, In which hla parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Daniel, of 271 Control ave nue, had been alternately weeping and wiring In the hope of finding him. Stor ies of kidnaping, drowning and other fearful things had enlivened the In terval between Hal's departure and the newrs that he had arrived In Chatta nooga, "where his kin people lived at.” Hal started to the Crew street school last Friday, wondering, whether the new-style spelling would make It hard er or easier to pass his examinations. He was so absorbed In his meditations at school that when a big boy stuck a pin In him he yelled and tvai repri manded. Somebody told Hal he would be suspended, so he sold his books to a second-hand dealer f«5r 21.26 and thus equipped for travel, started on a Jour ney to the West, where there are In dians walling to be killed apd no boy terror of the plains to do the killing. Dig mil Burk, patrolman of the Chattanooga department, was walking his beat Sunday morning, when he saw a youngster on the curbstone who looked as though ha had been through a mill. "What's the matter, kid?" asked the policeman. "I’m hungry." said the youthful In- vnnder of the wild and woolly West. "I haven't any rifle and I haven’t any money and I don't see any Indians and —and I want to go ho-o-tne. It's din ner time and I haven't had breakfast yet." "Well. Mr. Diamond Dick," said Pa trolman Burk, "before we go out In dian hunting we’ll walk over to the restaurant and you'll have dinner m»." Under the Influence of ham and eggs and a big mug of milk the boy traveler became loquacious and entertained the policeman and the Greek restaurant- keeper with the story of hla wrongs and the pilgrimage which followed. "I was at school and a big boy stuck a pin In me and I hollered,” he -ex plained. "It hurt, too. And then be cause I hollered I got suspended. Then I was afraid to go home and get a lickin', so I aold my books and came over here." "Hotv'd you get here, son?" asked Patrolman Burk. "You shore must be a walker If you made It here since Friday.” "Oh, I got on the train and rode till they put me off," explained Hal, "be tween bites of pie. "Then 1 got on the next one and rode a little bit fur ther. There’s lots of trains, you know. But I walked part the way. And " haven’t had to wash my face since left home." When Hal told his name at the police station and confided to the desk ser geant that he had some kinfolks In Chattanooga. It was easy to straighten out matters. A telegram to the At lanta home brought more Joy than the yellow envelopes often carry and a tel ephone aoon called Hal's Chattanooga relatives to the station. Hal arrived In Atlanta Monday morning, well fed. clothed and ready to take up arithmetic and geography once more. "But I'm not going to start out West again until I have more money nnd can get to the real prairies,” he remarked, after breakfast. ‘‘Chattnnoogn'i a bum town. But that was mighty good pie.” D. O. K.

What the letters stand for or who posted the signs could not be ascertained by In quiry of the clerk*. "It's one of the lodges the boss be longs to.” said one clerk. 'T guess he atuck It up there.” "Is the Ku Klux to meet tonight? Shall the city be terrified by white clad horsemen and midnight marauders T What ehall we do about It?" These were some of the questions the clttsens asked each other. "If dem Ku Kluxers begin rldln' 'roun' dls town I'm sht>' gwlne find anudder home,” remarked one old ne gro.

The defendants de manded separate trial by Jury. In order to make this possible Judge committee. Banker adjourned the session of the court to the flrst Monday In October. Little knots of men gathered at street corners and discussed the portentous Placards. Pointed questions regarding the membership were asked and "Are you n Ku Klux?” took the place ut the usual salutation. ' Half the city was on tiptoe with ex pectancy. "Where will they meet? Is It a se cret? I'd like to go and look on If I knew where. But the Ku Klux would be a mighty bad thing. The police ehould break It up. They ought to turn out the military." Then the whole thing exploded when the head of one Arm walked Into hts store after lunch and answered an In quiry aa to the placard. 'That? Oh, that's only a meeting of the Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan. Juat a side-show of the Knights of Pythias, you know.” That settled It. The Knights of Khorassan lost their paraphernalia at the Are In the Kleer building Monday night, but they decided to hold a meet ing anyway. And that's what the mys terious placards meant. , OF INCINES Two, Canadian Pacific Trains Are Bad ly Wrecked. Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept. 12.
