Atlanta, Ga. March 23.-The state rail-

directing that the Queen and Crescent
boat line on the Chattahoocheer river be
accorded the same terminal accommoda-

lines now plying on that stream.
The Queen and Crescent line was recent

Columbus to afford competition with the
old lines, which are controlled by the
railroads. The Columbus merchants COM

mission is to remedy this alleged evil.
The old line may appeal from the COM
mission on the ground that it has no juris-
diction over the river traffic, which be-
