POLICE HAD 4 BUSY DAY.
Means Busy Session of Police
Court.

Court.
The police were busy yesterday arrest
ing parties on charges on the way from
chicken stealing 10 assault with intent to
murder. At midnight some twenty
prisoners had been gathered in, and the
Recorder will have a busy time of it this
morning.
Tom Myers, colored, was arrested by
officer VIM on account of his having
cut Charles Atkins fin row that oc-
Cured on West Bay street the night be-
fore. Atkins was pretty badly sliced up
but none of his wounds are likely to prove
serious a"fvfs gutrae.
Another good catch was made by ON
GER 7. C. Murphy, who gathered in Tom
Young, colored, a chicken thief whose
activity in carrying on his trade and the
shrewdness and daring of whose raids
are only exceeded by his seeming INN UNI
ty from punishment. Young lives in DIT
termersville, but has operated success
fully on hen roosts within radius OF
several miles of his headquarters.
The police have been on the lookout for
him for the past several months but oW-
ing to an escapade that he had one night
with officer Murphy he wisely LETT town
and returned only few days ago.
The immediate crime for which he is
wanted. occurred about four months ago.
So frequent and so heavy had been the
raids on the hen roosts of residents OF
the southern part of the city, that Off
GER Murphy had been stationed IN that
section for the express purpose OF cap
curing. if possible the thieves, or at any
rate. to break up their almost nightly
visits. While engaged on this duty one
night he espied coming towards hlm'
Young. who carried a crocus sack, with
him was another negro. When he saw
the officer, Young became suspicious and
giving the bag to his confederate as soon
as the officer started for them, ran away
abandoning both his partner and the bag
of chickens, as 1t afterward proved to be
IN their fate. The officer succeeded in
capturing the man with the chickens
and he is now serving term on the
changing for his completely in the
t'.ofts. Young bears bad reputation
and will doubtless join his former
friend and companion in crime Tor

LAW WOULD BE A NULLITY.
Continued from Eighth Page.)

were patent upon inspection, a different
condition, it is claimed, from that alleged
TO be in the indictment against Greene
ana the Gaynors, to discover which If
they en- be discovered at all, requires the
Introduction of much extraneous evidence.
1t Is understood that the Attorney Gen.
erai intends to proceed vigorously in this
matter, and that he will exhaust every
legal remedy to compel Judge Brown to
reverse his opinion. 1t may be that he
will apply to the Circuit Court of Appeals
for a writ of mandamus, to compel Judge
Brown to sign the warrant of removal.
Under the view of the law controlling
the case taken by the Attorney General
District Attorney Erwin and every author
ity on federal practice, with the exception
of Judge Brown, who has expressed an
opinion, the remedy by writ of mandamus,
it is claimed, will be perfectly
proper and feasible, and will ac-
complish the purpose sought. The writ is
to compel the doing by some governmental
officer of an administrative act, that is,
one which he is specifically directed to
do by the requirements of law, but is not
to compel the doing of a judicial act
where the decision, pro and con, is left
to the discretion of the officer to whom
the writ is directed
1t will be seen at once. lawyers say, that
this distinction is material as applied to
this particular case. In the view of the
law announced and held by the district
attorney the judge to whom application
for a warrant of removal is made, is
compelled to grant il whenever he is
served with a certified copy of the indict-
ment and proof of the identity of the
parties In this view of the law the sign
ing of the warrant of removal is an adj
ministrative act, pure and simple. Under
the view of the law announced in the
opinion of Judge Brown, on the other
hand, the judge to whom an application
for such a warrant is made, must no4 on
ly be satisfied of the fact that an indict-
ment has been found and that the men
before him are the men indicted, but he
must be satisfied further THAI the grand
jury had probable cause to return the
indictment. In determining what is or is
not probable cause, it can readily be
seen that there is wide opportunity for
the exercise of che judicial power.
If, therefore, the Circuit Court of APP
peals should be satisfied and SHOULD hold
that the grant of a warrant of removal,
upon proof of the indictment found and
of the identity of the parties, is compul-
sorry upon the judge to whom application
is made, il would, according 10
the opinion of legal men, issue the writ
of mandamus against Judge Brown and
require him 60 grant the warrant If the
court should hold, on the contrary, that
the Judge must look for probable cause
to bring the indictment, the remedy by
writ of mandamus would not be applica-
BILE.
District Attorney Erwin was asked If
the government would apply to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals for such writ, to
compel Judge Brown TO grant the war
rant of removal. He replied that it
would not be proper for him to antici-
nate the action of the Attorney General
and declined to discuss the question.

NJ. Steele Those who were out on the line
getting all the data for the map were
Messrs. E. o. Langford. assistant engin-
eer, C. H. Dietrich, II. B. Howard G.. II.
Palm and f. B. Robertson.
The party left Savannah in November
for the survey and recently completed the
work to Atlanta. The survey is understo I'd
to have been thoroughly satisfactory, and
the maps will be a valuable record for the
company. The office force of engineers and
draughtsmen is now employed in making
the maps from the data. Some time will
be required TO complete the work. When it
has been finished it is possible that other
surveys will be made, taking in the sub
sidiary lines of the Central. but nothing
definite upon that point has yet been de-
cided.
The maps, when completed, Will repre-
sent a great deal of work. They will show

a LINE TO PHILADELPHIA.
Central Railroad Makes n ProDO-
sitian to Business Men.

The Committee on Transportation of the
Trades League Of Philadelphia has def
mite proposition from the Central of Geor-
GA Railroad, the Philadelphia Record
saws. relative to the establishment OF
direct line of steamships 10 that port.
Philadelphia has long wanted such a line,
and the Record has the following to say
relative to a meeting of the committee:
THE most assuring evidence of q
speedy realization of the project was the
proposition made by the Central of Geor-
eia Railway, through It's vice presifea
aud manager, John VI. Egan, which was
carefully considered by the committee. If
Philadelphia will accept the proposition
submitted the fleet will extend its regular
trips to Philadelphia. What the details
of this proposition are the committee
thought advisable not to make public I'M
I'll they had been submitted to the Trades
League and that organization had taken
official action in the matter.
1T is the sentiment of the Transporta-
ton Committee that the plan suggested be
accepted, as the requirements, the com
mitteemen say, with slight notifications,
are not only reasona BILE, but feasible as
well. Several of the members of the com
mittee called attention to the fact that
Phfladelphias commercial interests were
at present suffering from the lack of a d.
rect line of steamers between this and
Southern ports. 1t was stated that under
existing shipping facilities freight had TO
be paid from here 10 New York and from
there back to within a short distance of
Philadelphia, and thence to the South, in
many cases.
AT the same time large shipments from
the South are shipped to Philadelphia via
New York or other ports, there TO be re-
haLdled and delayed. instead of being sent
by boat direct 10 this city. The present
mode is much slower and by far more ex-
pensive, and by no means 80 safe as the
rehendlng of goods means damage, an

FOR CRUELTY AND DISCRETION.
Mrs. Amanda Newman Has Filed Suit
for "A Total Divorce.

Mrs Amanda Newman filed suit for
total divorce in the Superior Court yes
terday against her husband, J. b. New
man, who, she says, is now living in Cuba.
Cruelty and desertion are alleged as
grounds of divorce.
The plaintiff shows that soon after her
marriage in 1897, her. husband became adj
dicted to the habitual use of intoxicants,
and that while under the influence of
LIQUOR frequently treated her in cruel
and inhuman manner. She says that he
was given to applying 10 her the vilest
eDIthets and that on one occasion he
came home drunk. pulled her from the
he'd in which she was sleeping, threw her
on the floor struck her with his fist.
From the treatment she suffered she was
for some time confined to her bed. Upon
her refusal in any manner to condone his
defense her husband deserted her and has
since refused to contribute to her support.
The plaintiff AYERS that she was always
a dutiful and obedient wife to the defend
ant and acted up always to the full meas
ure of her wifely duty. She asks that she
be granted total divorce. An order di-
recting the service of process upon the
defendant by publication was granted by
tho court.
