OLD SUPERSEDEAS DOES GOOD WORK An Atlanta Club Finds k Very Easy to Continue
 Business

Atlanta, April 2e.-(SpeefaI.y persedeas is a great institution when !. comes to saving the day for a locker club. whose license is about to be ta5ea away from it.
 For, by virtue of the supersedeas the Union and Mechanics club, whose llcens 3 was ordered forfeited by the city coun cil, promises to get in a year or so of good business before its doors are finally closed.
 Upon the charge that it was operated purely as a barroom, and that it's profits in the first month of it's existence were sufficient to pay all expenses of it's estab- lishment, and, further, that it permitted women to enter its rooms and buy drinks, the city council decided to withdraw it's license.
 Then the club appealed to the superior court through application for injunction and sought to stay the hand of the law as represented by the city governing authority. It sought to show that il was operated just as are other city clubs. and that it had done nothing which was not permitted in the highest class social clubs
 Despite all this the superior court sat down flat upon the clubs claims. and held that the city not only had authority to revoke the clubs locker license, but that it had properly done so in this case l Thereupon notice of an appeal to the supreme court was given and a super sedeas granted
 Old supersedeas began a once to get in his work, and the Union and Me chanics is still doing business at the same stand.
 It will be two or three months at the outside before a decision can be secured from the state court of appeals, and after that the clubs attorneys have prom ised to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States, in the event the decision is adverse to its interests. Going 10 Washington means something like another year, so the club has d good long business period before it wit1 old supersedeas steadily on the job.
 The other club whose license was taken away from it closed it's doors promptly. 1t is said 1t did not have sufficient infliI- ence and money back of it to put up q hard fight.
 Another inspection of the Atlanta clubs Is promised shortly and 1t Is said sey- eral other cases will probably be made

 Anyway hope the old nigger got his boy. What do you think of me, a Mason, being put in jail for Kidnapping g gypsy? Now that l am out, though, 1 want to get back to Acton.'

REMARKABLE STORY
Says Two Birmingham Policemen Acted on Charge of GypsIes
 That He Was kidnaper.
 Came After Negro Boy

Roe Hinesley of Acton, in shelby county one of the best known deputy sherifs in that part of the sta'e' gut into a reck of trouble in Birmingham yesterday.
 He was trying to restore negro boy who had been lured away from nome 'o his parents and was himself arrested ps Birmingham officers on charge ot kio- naming. carrying concealed weapons, dis- orderly conduct and long string or mysterious offenses too numerous to men tion.
 The dramatis personae In yesteroas near tragedy included Hinesley, Elpert Fulton, negro boy 12 years old, Wlilis Fulton, father to Ebert, sundry gypsies now in camp near Green Springs, ana two stalwart Birmingham policemen on motorcycles.
 About ten days ago a band of gypsies nassed through Acton and induced El- bert Fulton to go with them as helper. Willis Fulton, the father, at once went to Hinesley, the deputy, and asked him to see if he could not get the boy back home.
 Yesterday Hinesley came to Birming- ham and found the boy with some or the gypsies who were at the horse trad ing wards on Twenty-third street. He carried him out the Green Springs road past the place where the gypsies were camped, followed by the gypsies from whom he had taken the boy at the wagon yards.
 It was at the gypsy camp that his trou- bles began He had just met Willis Full ton, father of the boy, on the road to town, and left the negro boy with his father while Hinesley called the gypsy who had employed the boy on up the road to give him a piece of advice "The gypsy was about 25 years old, said Deputy Hinesley last night, and could not talk to him with all those gypsy men and especially the women jab- bering away. I simply told him he had done wrong to take the boy away from his father and mother and to let him alone and not to feed him or give him money If he came back. I talked with him some time and those women or somebody must have got busy with the telephone for in a few minutes here came couple of Birmingham policemen splitting up the road on bicycles.
 "I didn't know what they wanted until they told me I was it They de- manded my pistol and I handed it over told them l was an officer with com missions both in Jefferson and Shelby counties and had been a deputy sheriff for Is years. Their answer to that was to grab me by the collar, throw me lssl r.s,---~.au sTly they had heard that stor. before.
 Ut was only a short time until was hustled into that big Black Marie automobile you have here in town ano hustled down to the little rock Jail
 And what do you think they want ed me for? It took me a good while to find out, but they wanted me for kid naping that overgrown gypsy boy When l took him off down the road to talk to him those female gypsies thought he was a goner. How Is that for a mess for a man to get into over a 12-year-old negro

CASE IS POSTPONED
The Railroad Commission Will Meet Monday But No Case of Very Much Importance Is on
 the Docket

Montgomery, April 2o.-(Special )-The railroad commission of Alabama will hold l it's next regular monthly meeting on Mon Say. May l. Owing to the withdrawal of ,he coal industrial rate ease by the Sot4shern railway and the Alabama Great Southeyn, the commission will have no case of importance up for consideration, and the session will probably be brief
 The only new case doclIefed for Mon day is a petition of the Southern railway 10 close it's agency at Prestwiek. Just what grounds the railroad has for wish ing to close this agency is not known, thought 1t is supposed that the petition is due to falling off of business at that place.
 The two other cases docketed for Mon day are both old matters, having been before the commission at several previous meetings. One of these cases is styled the railroad commission of Alabama vs. the Seaboard Air Line railway and the Southern railway, being a citation to show cause why rates on coal from Alabama duced This case first came up several months ago, put al eacn meeting lHe matter was postponed.
 The other case docketed Is styled the town council of Stevenson, Ala, vs Nashville, Chaftanooga and St. Louis railway and the Southern Railway com pany. This case was brought by the council of Stevenson and IS a com plaint in regard to inaccessible and in adequate depot facilities. This case has also been before the commission at several previous sessions.
 The coal industrial rate case was one of tho most important that the rail road commission had had up for con sidera ton in many months. The case grew out of a petition on the part of the Alabama Great Southern, the Southern railway and the Central of Georgia railroad 10 increase the rate on coal from the Birmin gham coal fields to Gadsden Anniston, Talladega and other points in that circuit. The rall- roads wanted to increase the rate from 90 cents per ton to 70 and so cents to all industries except the pig iron plants.
 Manufacturing industries of these places at once filed a protest obiecting strenu- ously to any increase. The case hung fire for several months, promising to be one of the liveliest hearings that the commits sion nad hau DeIore II uutlhs the pas. year The case was docketed for next Monday. and s. P. Kennedy, secretary to affect to fiSsiQn, sent out notices to that inc hearing. shortl3ersons interested In these notices, MT. Kennedy wsfnoins ou. 1 bv the Southern railway and the Alab4eo | Great Southern that they wished to have l the case indefinitely postponed
 l This action the part of these two roads will probably cause the Central o Georgia railroad to withdraw its petition as this line operates through practical, 1 the same territory.
 l The meeting of the railroad commission on Monday will be held at their new quar- l ters in the Bell building.
