 qia and Georgia Railroad.

Atlanta. January 9.-The suit of the Central of Georgia Railroad company and of the Georgia Railroad company against Comptroller General William A. Wright to enjoin him from the collection of taxes alleged to have been due the state from these roads on account of their ownership of stock in the Western of Alabama rail- road was decided in favor of the state to- day by the supreme court of Georgia.
 The state asked, in the case against the Georgia railroad, that 1t be compelled to pay back taxes from the year 1885, but the decision bars the collection of taxes prior to 1885 by the statutes of limitation seven years-the suit having been com menced i'm 1902. The road, therefore. will be compelled to pay about $70,000 on it's million and half of stock The Central of Georgia railroad will pay back taxes for 1s0o. the only year involved.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-01-10
Question in Various Forms.

The questions are in a diversity of form, but in substance the are all as follows;
 Does the Standard oil company of New Jersey either through itself or any other person or corporation, own or con trol majority of the stock of the Wat ers-Pierce oil company of Missouri, the Standard oil company of Indiana and the Republic oil company of New York2'
 No matter in what form the ques- ton has been put. MT. Rogers has de- elined to answer it. The commissioner before whom the evidence is being taken is without power to compel aH answer bpt it is held that the supreme court possesses the authority to compel MT Rogers to be punished for contempt or court if he declines to answer after be- ing ordered to do so by that court.
 MT. Hadley wants this information to show that the three alleged subsidiary or confederated companies are monopliz- ing the oil trade Of Missouri in common and to induce the Missouri courts to order them busted from that state.

Lawson Invited to Come.

An interesting feature of the hearing today was an invitation sent by Mr. Had lev to Thomas W Lawson of Boston re- auesting him to come to New York and testify if he can give any information as to the three companies MT. Hadley is trying to drive out of Missouri. When the hearing adjourned tonight MT. Law sons reply had not been received.
 MT. Rogers again declined while on the stand today to disclose the stock own ership of the three companies and was se- verely admonshed by MT. Hadley to treat the hearing seriously and not as funny

TROUBLE EXPECTED
 IN RUSSIA JANUARY 22
Government Believes However
 Disorders Have Been QuelIed
DISORDERS ON SMALL SCALE
Personal Escort of the Emperor Has Been Increased By Squadron of cossacks Picked From
 Whole etpr1s.'

St. Petersburg, January 9.-The success which thus far has attended the campaign against the violent revoutionists has plainly encouraged thefgovernment to be- lieve that the worst is over for the winter except in the Baltic provinces, the Cau- casus and the Don region, where the pre- vailing anarchy is likely to continue in definitely.
 Some semblance of order is being grad ually restored in the empire. The so- calsts and reyolutionlsts stoutly main tain that the present quiet is only d truce over the holidays, and from mys- terous hiding places the leaders con tinue issuing orders to refuse all com promises with imperialism, to boycott the national assembly, and to prepare for a great armed insurrection The govern ment, however, professes confidence that the reVolutlonists will not quickly re- cover the loss of strength and prestige which they have suffered.
 Trouble Expected January 22.
 Disorders on a small scale and acts of terrorism are expected to continue, and something in the nature of d general de- monstration is anticipated January 22, but a great uprising in the immediate future is regarded in government circles as im- possible The next real crisis is not ex- peeted until the national assembly meets, or the spring sets the peasants in motion. The members of the government declare that the abortive attempts at armed in- surreetion performed a service to the country in revealing to the liberals of all shades of opinion the necessity for fighting the violent programme of the reds" and that heneeforth no matter how much the liberals oppose the policy of the government they will be found arrayed against the reds. How far these calculations Of the government based on divisions among it's enemies will stand the test of events remains to be seen, as many times heretofore they have been rudely shattered.
 Big Convention Is Held.
 The constitutional democrats today are holding a convention at Terjoki, Fin land, to discuss their future plans and representatives of the law and order par ty which claims to have over 200 900 mem bers met today in St. Petersburg. This party favors a broad regime of freedom based on the participations of all citizens irrespective of creed or race in certain degree of the local government, but 1t opposes the federative principle which the party claims if carried beyond a certain point might threaten the integrity Of the empire
 The personal escort of the Emperor has been increased by a squadron of Cos sacks composed of picked men chosen from the entire Cossack force throughout sba att1 miro
