state to go to their relief and break the
relations existing between the several
lines.
The governor has been carefully exam
ming the paper and has been getting in
formation about the relations existing be-
tween the different companies. He would
not say yesterday what he would do. but
il is believed that he will look carefully
into the matter from both sides.
Under the Bacon act of 1898, proceedings
can be instituted i'm two ways to break
an Illegal consolidation of railroads. The
governor is empowered TO direct the at
torney general to bring suit for the for
fixture Of charters. or any party in
terested in the properties can go into the
courts for redress. The act was intro
duced by Hon. A. o. Bacon, who was
then a member of the House from Bibb
county.
After hearing from both sides. the gov
ernor can direct the attorney general TO
proceed In the name OF the state or he
may decline and leave the parties who are
interested to appeal direct to the courts
themselves.
II was reported Saturday from Macon
that a petition would be presented TO
Judge Emory Speer of the United states
circuit court, asking him TO appoint n re-
ceivcr for the Southern. No action OF this
kind was taken, and Il Is thought that
what the governor IL going TO do with
their petition to him. II he declines TO di-
rect the attorney general TO proceed, then
they may so into the courts.
The parties TO the petition are Messrs.
w. B. Sparks formerly general manager
of the Georgia Southern and Florida: the
Dunlap Hardware Company. VI. j. Hatch
or. Sam Mayer and B. l.. Jones ana others.
This same question of the Southern S
interest In other roads In Georgia came
up last year before the railroad commits
sion. Al that time the board of state
railroad commissioners were considering
whether they should apply their rule
one" TO the Southern and Central and the
Georgia Southern and Florida. This rue
carried with e a reduction OF 10 per cent
IN local freight rates when freight passed
from one road 60 a point on another line
which was Of the same system. whether
by lease, complete ownership or
ownership OF a. controlling in
fore the Atlanta and Florida was pur-
chased by the Southern, local freight go-
ing from one road to the other was
charged the sum OF the locals on each
road But after the Atlanta and Florida
was merged into the Southern system.
rule one was applied and the same freight
was charged the sum Of the local less 10
per cent
And II the commission had found that
the Georgia Southern and Flol ida was
controlled by tho Southern. the two sya-
TENS would have been treated as ono and
local freight going from one line 20 the
other would have been given the reduction
OF 10 per cent. from the sum Of the locals
10 was generally believed at the time
that the commission had other motives IN
the Inquiry. and really desired 20 see how
far the reported consolidation had gone
