OVATION AT UNION DEPOT

Atlanta, Ga. June 19-Passenger service over the new Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway was inaugurated today by the arrival of a special train chartered by the Atlanta chamber of commerce bringing visitors from Brunswick and intermediate towns to celebrate the open ing of the new line. Tonight banquet WAS rendered by the chamber of commerce to their guests at which covers were laid for 800. Among the speakers were Gov. Hoke Smith and H. M. Atkinson, presi- dent of the new road.
 The new road will eventually connect Brunswick, Atlanta and Birmingham, with a total mileage of $50. Of this, there is now in operation 570 miles, with 79 miles between Talladega and Birmingham un- der construction, and over which it is ex- pected to inaugurate train service about August 1.
 The road was organized three years ago by a syndicate of capitalists headed by H. M. Atkinson of Atlanta, and has been rapidly pushed to completion, several short lines having been bought and re- built. When the first train pulled into the union station late today it was given an ovation. Business was practically sus- pended for time and thousands sought every vantage point to catch a glimpse of the train.

appeal noted by him from the decision OF
Justice Wright of the District Supreme
Court directing writs of ma1damus to
issue against him In the recent d!s5ar-
ment order by which certain attorneys

the other cases are $4,000 in the Edwin

public duty. Mr.. Mcnamara claimed that
the Secretary In his private capacity liz
not obliged to give bond. and in con-
sequence the proper discharge of public
duty Is left dependent on the officials

He cited the Revised Statutes. which. he
urged. specifically provided that govern
