Macon, Aug. 3.-While attorney John
r. Cooper and Mrs. S. p. Shelters
Milledgeville friend were consulting
this morning as to what course they
would pursue to get her away froEl
those who sought her detention at the
sanitarium, Mr.. George w. Owens of
Savannah, hurried her to the Georgia
train and went toward Augusta. He
had laid his plans so that he would
leave on the first train going out of
Macon, no matter what the direction.
The Georgia train was going in the
right direction for him, however, and
he took it and went toward Augusta.
The train was hardly out of reach
of the depot, when a writ of habeas
corpus was received from Judge Spear
at Mount Airy, calling upon those
having Mrs. Shooter in charge to an
swer before him at Mount Airy on the
9th inst, why she was restrained of
her liberty. Efforts were made to reach
Mr.. Owens and Mrs. Shotter by legal
process before they arrived at Savan-
nah, their supposed destination, but
these were unsuccessful.
Witnesses here say that Mrs. Shot
ter was weeping as she entered the de-
pot and that each arm was being held
by a woman on one side and Mr..
Owens on the other. The plans that
had been laid to institute kidnapping
proceedings against the parties who
went away with her failed at the last
minute, as new officers were on duty,
and did not understand what had been
planned.
The attorneys in the case at this end
are now at a loss to know which way
to proceed. as they are without their
clients advice or Instructions.

ELkINs' BILL SHOULD BE PIeEoNHoLED.
M. M. MURDOCH. Editor


Senator Elkns' BILL amending the interstate commerce
law viii the relief asked for by the people
The measure is not wanted Whether pooling the
method for preventing discrimination do not
pretend to say Pooling being based the relative ton
mage of the roads involved points, tends to
an equality and stability rates and away with
rebates. But among the other Objectionable features
CT the Elkins bill that practically every
plant and the higher courts by appeal
stead of comforting or leaving power determine
settle disputes between railways and shippers with
the Interstate Commerce Commission. If every wrong
and misunderstanding is to finally to the courts for
determination adjustment wherefore any commits
sion? The commission originally legally organized
for the purpose Of protecting shippers against the
sity and expense Of going up against powerful railway
corporations higher The Interstate Com
mission is just capable Of determining and settling
the average complaint as any court high low, and
without expense TO either shipper railway. The Elkns
amendment as set in yesterday mornings dispatches
the individual shipper who has been wrOnged to
such redress in the higher courts, which puts him
disadvantage if indeed it virtually stop him.
There is another thing about Mr. Ekins bin that the
Eagle does not like. and which the people viii not
dorse and that proposition do away with impris
onment violators the interstate making the
penalty fine. What does an official representative
Ct railway for fine in imposed as re-
suit Of carrying out his superors orders? The offending
ohicial will not have to provide the money. His fine
viii be paid by the corporation in whose interest
he violated the law But imprisonment is horse Of
another color and the Official high low, would hest
violate the law should the penalty be
Imprisonment instead of mere money fine be paid
the corporation employing him.
The whole tenor of the Elkins measure. trans
med in yesterdays dispatches, is to make the Inter
state Commission sraw-man. blind. 1t is in the in
of the corporation and against the interests OF the
people and its will result in stringent
legislation on when the public shall have forced
the question to an issue
AS to the pooling clause Of the bin not
tain Pools making it possible maintain higher
still shuts OF rebatng and prevents fluctuations Of rates
which if in bearing harder the consumer in in
enables the average shipper buy sell and
contract with greater degree Of certainty.
