The police commission, at its regular meeting Thursday night, wilt have up tor consideration an Interesting ques tion. Involving- the rights of civil and military authorities. The matter will be Introduced In the nature of charges preferred against two police officers, growing out of a clash between two policemen and two privates of company B, Fifth Georgia regiment, state troops. In the Bijou Theater on the night of November 26. The two soldiers, J. C. Edmondson and F. J. Arbuly, In uniform and armed, went to the Bijou under orders frojn their captain to arrest another member ot the company for falling to attend drill, and who was then enjoying the performance. The soldiers assert that the police men, specified ns Officers Brodle and R. J. Williams, Interferred with them In making the arrest, on the ground they had no right to enter the theater for nny such purpose. It Is further alleged that the policemen Jeered and ridiculed the soldiers, referring to them as “tin soldiers" and characterising ihelr cap tain us a "fool," who didn't know his business. Arrested a*nd Rslssssd. The .soldiers say they were Anally arrested by the policemen, but were later released. They say the conduct of the policemen Indicated that the uniform of a soldier was nothing more than a target for derision and ridicule. The soldiers didn't know the names of the policemen, but reported the num bers. On these numbers, charges were preferred against Officers Brodle and Williams. It Is learned, however, that Williams was not on duty at the thea ter, but It Is said that the officer re ferred to by the soldiers, was Police man Englett. Chief Jennings, when asked about tlie matter Wednesday morning, said: I know nothing of the merits of the case at Issue. Ot course, however, civil law takes precedence over military law, as this Is a civil government. The mil itary, on the other hand, hae certain authority over Ite men. Whether mi litiamen would have a right, however, to Invade a theater and arrest one of their number I am not prepared to say.” Colonel Anderson Reticent. Colonel Clifford I-. Anderson., com manding ofAcer of the Fifth regiment, Infantry, Georgia Stale Troops, said Wednesday morning that In view of the fact that tlie matter was to be Investigated he did not care to be Interviewed. , .. “I will simply quote section 59 of the Georgia military code," said Colonel Anderson, "as it deAncs the authority of the military ocers In such cases: "The governor, commanding officer of any regiment, battalion or company, may force the attendance at any drill, encampment or other duty of. any of Acer or enlisted man of his command and may use such force as may be nec essary."

Payn, former auperlntendent of Insurance, and the United States Ex press Company, of which United States Senator Platt Is president. It was not claimed, however, that Burnham paid the amount of this check to Mr. Payn, but that It was used to resist an alleged demand by Payn for $100,000 from the life Insurance company.
