The leading feture at the Pan
tages next week will be The
Piceolo Midgets, four veritable
Tom Thumbs, who will put on an
excellent act, featuring acrobatic
and instrumental stunts and con-
GLIDING with a whirlwind boxing
and wrestling bout.
Walter H. Bedell and company

In bright program of musical
selections, the Verdi Musical Four

each one being master of the in
struments on which they give an
entertaining turn of merit.
An echo from the land of green
in "O'Brien From Galway" pre-

cause a roar of laughter.
Manning and Ford, singers and
dancers, with B. B. Vincent sing
ing a beautifully illustrated song,
complete another strong bill at
this house.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 24.-S. Guy
ton McLendon, chairman of the
Georgia railroad commission, was
Thursday afternoon suspended from
office as commissioner by Governor
Hoke Smith. The action Of the gov
ernor follows Chairman McLendons
vote against low port rates for At
lanta.
The action was sinila" to that TAX
en- by the governor two years ago
when he suspended Joseph M. Brown
from the commission. Mr. Brown
afterward defeated Mr.. Smith for
governor.
Chairman McLendOn was appoint
ed by Governor Smith following the
suspension of Joseph M. Brown, and
was afterWarG elected to the office
by vote of the people.
1t will be for the Legislature to
confirm the action of the governor
and dismiss Mr.. McLendon from his
Office or to allow him to remain,
and thereby sustain his position on
the port rate question.
The reasons given by Governor
Smith for the the suspensio stat
ed in the governors message are
though Mr. McLendon was elected
to the commission upon one plat
form he is pursuing the policy OF an
other platform, and that his official
acts have taken a turn detrimental
10 the best interests of the people OF
Georgia.
Chairman McLendon stated when

THE GOULD CASE IS COSTLY

alimony, per annum, $4,000.
Awarded her counsel, $4,000.
Additional fee asked by her coun-
sci, $4,000.
Mrs. Gould's expenses, $4,000.
Inquiry into the cost of the sep
aration suit of the Howard Goulds
brought from a close friend of the
husband the declaration that no less
sum than $1,000,000 was available
if such an amount is needed to de-
feat Mrs. Howard Gould's action.
Both sides in the case have spent
enormous sums already in bringing
witnesses from different parts of the
country, in taking dispositions in dis
tant cities, and in foreign lands and
in detective service. The attorneys
have hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in retainers, and will receive
much more before the case is fin
ished. 1t is learned from an au-
thoritive source that the work of
one detective agency in Howard
Gould's behalf cost the multi-mil-
lionaire $4,000 up to six months
ago. The cost of this detective SER
vice up to date is supposed to be
more than 100000.
1t is impossible to ascertain how
much the law firm of Nicholl, Ana

in Howard Gould's behalf, but the
amount must run deep into five fig
