RAILROADS GET NO RELIEF.
United States Judge Refuses to Re-
strain Georgia Rate Law.

ATLANTA, September 2-The order of
the Georgia railroad commission reducing
passenger rates goes into effect today,
and 1t will be obeyed by every road In
the state, or the officers of the road dis
regarding it will be indicted and prose-
cuted by Gov. Hoke Smith. The COVER
nor has notified all judges and prose-
cutting officers in the state to watch for
violations of the law and to prosecute
The indications are that every road in
the state will put tickets on sale at re-
duced rates.
The loads so far have been unable to
get a federal injunction, and there seems
nothing left but to obey the order. The
Atlantic Coast Line. the Georgia Central
and the Atlanta and West Point went be-
fore United States Judge Shelby at
Huntsville. Ala. yesterday and asked for
an injunction, but the judge refused to
grant it. The Judge, however, ordered
the Georgia Commi sSion to appear on
September 1G in Atlanta before some
United States circuit judge to show cause
why an injunction should not be granted
In refusing the restraining order Judge
Shelby commented sharply on the action
of the railroad in waiting until two days,
one of them a Sunday, before the order
was to take effect to ask an Injunction.
although the order reducing rates was
made three months ago.
Judge Shelby held that there is no pre-
sumption to begin with that the commits
sion has not acted in good faith and that
the order reducing rates is cOn1iscatory
Il cannot hold says Judge Shelby. that
the affidavit to the bill filed by the rail-
roads outwetghs the prima facie pre-
sumption that the action of the Georgia
railroad commission is valid. l am of the
opinion that the motion for temporary
restraining order should be overru.ed.
This action of Judge Shelby made Gov.
Smith master of the situation, and re-
duced rates went into effect today.
Railroads will probably continue the
fight. but it will be in such a manner as
to cause no clash between this state and
the United States. Gov. Smith
fused to discuss the matter further than
to say, Il shall enforce the law

FATHER KIDNAPs CHILD.
Mother Chases Cab Two Miles-Courts
to Decide

NEW YORK, September 2-Because his
wife's departure for the east for the pur-
pose of visiting relatives coincided with the
disappearance Of his most intimate male
friend, Lawrence NJ Fluhart, a wealthy
Toledo merchant. determined to hasten in
pursuit Of his absent spouse. He was in
fluenced in his decision by the fact that his
wife, Mrs. Jennie Fluhart, had taken with
her the couples little daughter Alice. Mr..
Fluhart knew that his wife went to Brook
lyn, and he engaged detectives to find her.
Last Saturday he learned that she was
living at 195 Adelphi street, under the name
of Mrs. Taylor, and boarding with her in
the same house his whilom friend A.
v. Snyder. F'luhart had only one DESIRE
and that was to obtain possession of his
little girl and then leave Brooklyn. With
this end in view he consulted Luke D.
O'Reilly Brooklyn attorney, who advised
him to bring the matter before the courts
and have the child given over into his Gus
tody.
This, however, would involve delay of
several days. as today is holiday and the
courts are closed The only other course.
the attorney said, was to take the little girl
away by force, and this the anxious father
determined to do.
He therefore engaged a cab Saturday
evening, and drove in and about the neigh
borhood of the Adelphi street address. Near
the corner of Willoughby avenue he spied
the object of his search playing with a
number of companions. Springing out of
the cab, he gathered the child into his arms
The next moment the carriage was whirling
away down the street. ~
In the meantime some one had told Mrs.
Fluhart what had occurred, and she ran
hatless out of the house just as the cab
was turning the corner a block away
Without thought of appearances, she ran in
pursuit, followed by mob of curious spec
tators. The chase continued for more than
two miles. and ended only when the vehicle
was stopped on the bridge to pay toll. when
the exhausted woman climbed painting into
the cab.
AT the Manhattan end of the bridge Mr.
Fluhart hastily sought a telephone booth
and asked Mr.. O'Reilly whaAhe should do
The latter advised him to take the little
girl to the Children's Society headquarters
in Schermerhorn street until the matter of
her guardianship should be decided in court
This advice Mr. Fluhart adopted, and the
little girl will remain with the society until
Judge O'keefe has awarded her custody to
one or the other of her parents in children's
court tomorrow.
