Had that been the only trouble that
Steiner had met with, he would
have been lucky. He told a sad tale
this morning in police court. Said he
had nearly SO yesterday and someone
had robbed him. When arrested he
showed signs of drink so it may be
attributed to his own weakness that he
suffered as he did. He was given a

CENTRAL OF
 GEORGIA TROUBLES

Savannah, May 6.-Directors of the Central of Georgia railroad met here to- day to effect settlement with the dis satisfied bondholders who have been su- ing the company for interest on income bonds. Plans were discussed and will be referred to the bondholders.
 The following statement was issued by President Markham of the Central after the meeting:
 'The decision of the supreme court of Georgia in the income bonds case for 1907 was rendered on December 14, 1916, and Major Hanson, then president of the Central of Georgia railroad, died on the following morning.
 There was an unavoidable delay in the filling Of the office of President and I did not assume the duties of the presi- 6ency until about the 1st of March. Hav- ing had no connection with the previous litigation, I was in position to consider the difference with the income bondhold- CTS with an open mind, and as the finan- cier discussing the matter with counsel and with members of the executive conn mittee and board of directors, we have accepted in the utmost good faith the de- cision of the court in the 1907 case and with this object in view the income ac- counts of the company for the year 1908. 1909 and 1910 have been carefully consid- cred and have been revised by crediting to the income account, all items which
