Gov. Glenn Deems II His official
Duty to Call the General Assem-.
bly, Together to Assume
Ultimate Responsibility
OF the Emergency.
(By Special Wire to the AReUs.)

(By Special Wire to the ARGUS.)
Raleigh, July 26.-Gov. Glenn to-day
is positive and decided that it is his
duty to convene the legislature in ex-
session, unless the Southern
Railway and Atlantic Coast Line will
agree to put the 2 IA cents rate in eff
feet pending the appeals from the Raj
eigh and AsheVi1le cases to the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
The Governor says that upon the
legislative branch of the State govern
ment rests the ultimate respon ibility
and that branch should be given the
opportunity to meet it when the law, SO
recently passed, is defied and violated.
Gov. Glenn is in telegraphic commu-
nication with Asheville today, where
Asst. U. S. Attorney General Sanford
and the railway high officials and Judge
Pritchard are comforting.
Gov. Glenn stated that he had a
noon instructed Solicitor Brown an6

Southern Railway and Ticket
Agent Indicted.
The Rate Act Remains The Law Unit
a Court OF Competent JufiSdiC-
tiOn Decides That 1t Is InVa-
lid-NO Court OF North
Carolina Has So Held.

Winston-Saletn,N N. c., July 26.-The |
grand jury, just before adjourning this |
afternoon, returned an Indictment and |
presentment against the Southern rail-
way and w. S. Haley, agent at Rural
Hall, for violation of the passenger rate
law. County Treasurer @. L. Beck
was the witness before the grand jury,
he having paid the agent at Rural Hall
the old rate for ticket to Winston
Salem.
This action of the grand jury was
taken after second consultation with
Judge Moore, ked by the
foreman if it wuuru violation of
to make presentment. The court
ruled that it would be a violation with
the facts that were before them.
After wrestling over the question of
reduced passenger rates, the grand
jury came into court about 10:45 this
structions as to the law provided in
such cases. Judge Moore quoted the
pertinent portions of the statute limit
ing the maximum charge for passen-
gers to 2 IA cents per mile. The
penalty for disobeying this law al
lows $500 to the person aggrieved by
the act and an agent who disregards
the law may be convicted of mis-
demeanor ard fined and imprisoned Or
both.
''This is valid or invalid act of the
Legislature" said Judge Moore. ''The
railroad has secured an injunction
through the Federal Court depriving
the corporation commission of the
right of decision. This law went into
, effect July l. IT the validity Of the act
} of the Legislature is challenged the
! only defense is that the act is SO un-
just and detrimental that it amounts to
the confiscation of the railroad IS prop
erty. THE party challenging the law
must show that it is unfair and uncon-
, stitutional. The State does not like tC
say that the acts of the Legislature are
unconstitutional,a ,and as yet no superior
Court has questioned the validity ofthe
3 act. It is a valid law until it has beer
t found invalid by body of men compe.
tent to decide it. Thus far it has no.
5 been found unconstitutional. If the
3 law has been violated you should have
"a the violator indicted, and it afterwa rds
t the law is found unconstitutional he
may obtain redress. 1t is my persona
t opinion that it is useless to hear any
more cases of this nature until the de-
t cision OF the United States Supreme
, Court is handed down. AS the Law
now stands an infraction of it should
be considered misdemeanor. Note
infractlons of this law in the county
, and take action according to the facts
| brought to your knowledge"
Solicitor Graves stated that there was
t some question to whether or net the
t jurisdiction over the case had been con-
ferred upon the recorder. Judge Moore
} replied that the act creating the re-
corder's court enumerated the cases
that should be tried before the recorder,
and that this one was not included ,and
that the Superior Court was the proper
place to try such cases.

GEORGIA GOING DRY.
Final Vote OF General Assembly Set
for July so.
(By special wire to the ARaUs.)

Atlanta, Ca, July 26.-Georgia's
prohibition bill, now pending before
the lower house, will be made the
special order of business for Tuesday,
July 80, and a final vote will be taken
that day.
This agreement was reached in the
House today following the filibuster-
ing tactics of the minority, which end
ed at IL o'clock last night after nearly
fourteen hours Of exciting maneuvers,
when adjournment was precipitated by
a personal encounter between two pro-
minent membe of the House. The
order, which was adopted by unaui-
nous consent, practically cuts off all
further fiIibustering on the floor of the
House, it provides that the bill shall be
placed on it's third reading Immediate
ly after reading the journal next Tues
day, that both sides shall be given
equal time for discussion and the
amendments that may be submitted;
that all amendments shall be on the
speakers desk by 2.30 o'clock and
that the vote shall be taken at fou1
O'Clock without further motion Or de.
bate.
It further provides that the galleries
shall be kept cleared of all visitors
during the tendency of the bill. Will
majority of nearly four-fifths favor
ing the bill, which has already beer
passed by the Senate, and with Cover
nor Smith pledged to sign the bill
when it shall be passed, prohibition il
Georgia appears to be foregone con
| clusion.

THE STATES GOOD CAUSE.

blameable for employing, as in the
Asheville penalty case, any reasonable
methods to protect his claim to exaa
elusive jurisdiction in the rate cases.
It is really because he began by using
that jurisdiction in such high-h handed
manner as to arouse strong resentment
that any contest has been made. He
enjoined a sovereign State upon
grounds which we do not believe that
any Federal judge in the North-Fed-
eral judges North and South are quite
different-would have deemed sufficient
for enjoining an individual or corpo-
ration. Being advised by able lawyers
that it is not altogether remedy the
State would have shown great lack of
lf-respect had it submitted without
first testing the legal means proposed.
The plain fact is that whether or not
Judge Pritchard and the two railroad
companies can maintain themselves at
law or induce the administration to

they are morally in the wrong. And
whether or not the States opposition

than justify itself by placing on record

ercise of arbitrary power which not
only works pecuniary injustice but
ranks among the most inexcusable af-
fronts ever leveled at the rights of the
