BOTH OFFICERS
WERE CONVICTED
THEY WERE GIVEN A TRIAL
BEFORE CITY COUNCIL LAST
NIGHT. i.
Three of the Four Officers Under
Charges Have Been Tried and Con-
Charge Thursday Night.

Council met in adjourned session
last night, and after 'disopsing of
routine matters, beginning under the
| head of new business, full account of
which appears elsewhere. started the
trial Of Officers Brockinton and Nor
gan
The Brockinton case was first call.
ed. Mr.. Brockinton was represented
by Col Edwin w. Dart, who by the
way, did not consume the evening
by arguments, etc, but conducted
his case with snap which council
appreciated.
Several witnesses were examined
and that part of the charge which
accused the officer of accepting ci-
gars, beer, etc, from dealers for al
lowing them special privileges was
not proven, but Witnesses swore
they had seen him when they thought
he had been drinking. Mr. Brock
inton in his statement said that on
one occasion he had been fishing and
had drank some on the trip, but was
not on duty at the time. Chief Will
char swore that he had never seen
Mr. BrCckinton drunk or drinking
while on duty. Jailor Gregory said
he saw him once when he acted
mighty curious" Ben McLendon
swore he had given him beer and
had ordered whiskey for him
Before rendering a decision in the
Brockinton matter, the case against
Officer Morgan was taken up. The
evidence was about the same as in
the other case. Mr. Morgan in his
statement said he had accepted ci-
gars beer, etc, but did not promise
immunity. He thought accepting a
treat was customary in all cities.
After this case, council went into
executive session and returned in
about ten minutes.
The mayor, acting as spokesman
for council, told the two men that
they had been found guilty of violat-
ing the police rules and that he was
directed to suspend them for sixty
days from this date without pay.
Considering the fact that the men
have already been off something over
q month, this make their suspension
run over quarter Of a year.
Council then announced an adjourn
mant until Thursday night, at
O'Clock at which time the case against
Officer Pete Lowe, charged with sell
ing immunity baths will be taken up
and disposed Of
The trial last night was conducted
in business like manner from start

a couple of hours

MANY MATTERS
We RE UP B FORE
STATE S0L0NS
THROUGH FREIGHT TRAINS CAN
NOW MOVE IN GEORGIA ON
SUNDAY-SOME OTHER BILLS
PASSED,

Atlanta, July 18.-Both the senate
and house held unusually busy ses-
sion today and a number of interest
ing matters of more or less interest
IN all sections of the state, were dis
posed of.
2 In the senate, bill was introduc-
sed permitting ulton, Chatham and
Richmond counties to pay the super
ior court judges $4,000 per year in
addition to the salaries now paid
them and also to pay the solicitors
OF the city courts in these three
counties a stipulated salary inste
OF fees. A similar bill to the first
named was defeated in the house last
week.
The judges salary bill, which will
bring about a lively discussion, it is
expected, was made the special ord,
er for Tuesday.
The effort cf Senator Gordies to
put his bill re-arranging the judicial
circuits of the state in line for pas
sage, met with success.
The bill allowing through freight
trains to move on Sundays, thus
greatly benefting the fruit growers,
passed the senate. 1t is believed
that this measure will also be passed
by the house, as it means much to
the state.
The senate again took up the bill
placing the various solicitors gener.
al of the state on a salary and abol-
ishing the fee system, and it was
decided by the body to reconsider
their action.
In the house the bill similar to the
one in the senate allowing an in
crease in the salary of several super
ior court judges, was read.
The house during the afternoon in.
structed the committee on rules to
set down for special orders for the
most important business left on the
calendar.
When the house adjourned this aft
Snoon, it had under consideration
the bill appropriating $4,000 for a
heating plant at the state university.
The judicial Encouragement bill
was passed by the house as also was
a bill prohibiting the exhibition in
Georgia of any moving picture of a
prize fight between a negro and
white man.

to appear in court this morning.
While some little difficulty was ex-
perienced yesterday in securing jur-
ors, it is believed that the full num-
ber, 12, will be secured today.
The defense was free in striking
those who qualified yesterday. AS
soon as both the state and the de-
Tense have only few strikes. aft
they will be careful and it is bA. i ed
and then a majority of tne Jurors
qualifying will have to be accepted
While of course the major portion
of those who went down for cause
yesterday did so on the question, is
there any hias or pre;ud.Ce resting
m y0Hr mind either for or against
the prisoners a. the bar?' Still it
was surprising TO see the number CT
men in Gym county WHO are Opp0s-
ed to capital punishment. Probably
more than one out of every six ex-
amined went down for this cause.
The court will convene this morn
ing at S:3s and continue the work
CT examining jurors. The examina-
tion is being conducted by Major r.
E. Dart. It is believed by many that
the jury will be secured before the
end of the day and it is likely that
the taking of testimony will begin
tomorrow morning.
Some of the attorneys believe, that
if the jury is made up today that
the case can be completed by the end
OF the week

ALLIANCE WITH THE
 PENNSYLVANIA DENIED
President E. P. Ripley. of the Santa Fe, Declares Merger Would Be
 Disastrous

domination by any single in- tcrest."
 The Call story appeared We'd nesday morning, a week ago, in in the Associated Press dis patches. In part 1t is as follows:
 "The Pennsylvania railroad is now headed for the Pacific coast. The great system that faces the eastern states has San Francisco as its objective. It is preparing to make it's way to California through the agency of the Santa Fe. The plan is said to contem- plate as it's ultimate end the union of the two big lines. For the present the Pennsylvania has begun the purchase of Santa Fe stock on an extensive scale. It proposes to dominate the affairs of the western road, and thus acquire through trackage from ocean to ocean. This is the in- formation that has come to local bond houses that recently en- tered the market for the securi- ties of the two companies. An 
 exhaustive inquiry was institut- ed into the relations between them and the facts relating to the impending alliance are said to have come from the inner councils of the corporations. When the information was spread broadcast in the financial district, there was a disposition to cast doubt upon the report. Advices received from New York, however, tended strongly to- ward confirmation. Local rail- road men were unable to throw light upon the situation. At the eastern offices of the companies, the usual denial were made, but it was admitted that the Penn- sylvania regards any announce ment at this time as premature, as the plans have not progressed sufficiently to warrant a definite statement. There is every evi- dence, however, that the Penn- sylvania interests have taken over the Hartman holdings in the Santa Fe to the amount of $1O,OOO,OOO. This was sufficient to give the Hartman coterie two members of the Santa Fe direc- torate. The Pennsylvania group now has two members of the Santa Fe board, and, according to New York dispatches, will shortly add another.
 From New York came credence as follows:
 "The report of an alliance be- tween the Pennsylvania railroad and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, is credited here by many banking houses that make speciality of such securities. but no official confirmation could be obtained from the chief par ties in interest. In fact, local financial journals have intimat ed that important developments } were impending that would tend f to establish closer relations be- tween the two properties. The exact nature of this relationship has not been discussed. It was pointed out at the time that Thomas de Witt Culver, of the i; Pennsylvania, was elected to the A Atchison board, that the founda- tion had been laid for a close
 working agreement. Several in cidents since then have strength ened this belief. The Pennsyl- . vania has taken over some large blocks of Santa Fe shares at prices ranging Ill the vicinity of 1O3 Several transactions of th1S nature have been transacted : h1n the PennSvluan nia nffi.,e
