AGAINST RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Gives His Reason for Suspemding Nc
Lendon In Special Message 10
the Georgia Legisla-
fure. sI

ASlanta, June 25.--dovernor Hoke
Smith today sent the Legislature a
special message giving his reasons for
suspending from ONCE Chairman Me-
Tendon of the State Railroad Commits
sion yesterday. He informed the
Legialature that 1t had power to re-
instate McLendon. or to remove him
finally, and that he should not appoint
a successor, because his term as Gov
ernor expires tomorrow.
The message charged that McLendon
had abandoned the principles of the
convention which nominated him. and
added:
although one of the rules OF the
commission excluded the use Of free
passes, Mr. McLendon used free trans
portation to go over the Atlanta and
west Point Railroad, using the pri-
vate car of the President OF the road
for that purpose"
McLendon, the message said, gave up
this practice only when the Governor
insisted. 1t was charged also that
McLendon opposed the Commissions
decision to night an increase in rates
by the Georgia Railroad and that he
resisted the lowering Of freight rates
between the ports OF Georgia and in
terror points.
