1t Created a Small Excitement for 81
Time.
Austin, Texas. May 1S.--Some little ca
element was occasioned in legislative cir
cles today by report that the San Ar
tonic and Arkansas Pass railway people
had construed the new act prohibiting the
giving Of rebates to mean also that the
Issuance of free passes would subject rail-
way officials to prosecution for felony and
that they had issued circular to that
effect and that other railway companies
were preparing to do the same thing. An
examination Of the circular il question
revealed, however, that there was noth-
ing in the report and that said circular IN
dictated a cessation of the dlspensauoh Oh
free passes, but that instead II proposed d
discontinuance OF the granting OF certain
legitimate privilege to the travelling puo-
lie in order TO render the rebate act odlous'
Such rules and regulations as are pro
posed in the circular are subject TO rali-

their purpose is to annoy the punllc
rather than to conform to the new Ia"

Atlanta. Ga, May 19.--The Journal this
evening publishes a story in which it is
stated that anonymous letters received at

little place. AS the story goes, the let
ters declare that the negroes who are
going to Columbus, Ga, from Atlanta
Saturday night to attend a picnic viii use
Winchesters to fire from the car windows
and that dynamite will be used to destroy
property fronting on the railroad,
Mayor Arnold OF Palmetto came to At
lanta today and told Governor Gambler Of
the threats made and the fear of the ciu-
zens that harm would be done. The gov
ernor asked President George Smith Of the
Atlanta and West Point road If the train
would be called off under the circum-
stances. Mr.. Smith said his road was not
running the excursion, but would have 10
carry out its contract with its promoters
Mayor Arnold gave notice that II a Single
shot was fred from the excursion the pep
pie of Palmetto would wreck the tram.
Governor Gambler has declined 20 say
What action, If any, he will take In the
matter. .A.i,oa So.
THE following statement, authorizes py
tho MAYOR and council OF Palmetto, was
received in Atlanta tonight by telephone

cursion run through the town Saturday
and we have understood that threats have

that some reckless negro might perhaps
FIRE a single shot. which would result In
the wrecking of the train. Mayor Ar

road officials to run in the daytime instead
Of at night. Peace and quiet reign he
