Senator Wharton wants to make
it easier to catch fugitives from jus.

prisoner having given bail skipped
the State. There was bond of
$4,000 which was paid and the fugi.
tive was never caught as no detective

Mr. Wharton wants the bond to be
divided into two parts the person ap.

prices is expected at once according
to commission merchants.
Numerous Chicago commission men
are said to be facing failure as a re-
suit of their efforts to maintain an
artificial price on the necessities OF
life. The inability further to uphold
the price is said to be doue to a com
bination of circumstances, chief Of
which are the open winter of 1911
and the banner crops of 1910.
Three commission men failed IN
the last week as a result, it is said, OF
holding great quantities of butter
which they purchased at an average
price of 81 cents pound and now
are unable to market for more than
27 or 2S cents pound.
While the wholesale prices Of but.

no decline in the retail prices. NJ

been able to maintain an artificial
price not only to consumer, but ito
the producer, it is said. ,'r
Thirty-two warehouses are said to
have forty-four million pounds OF
butter, eggs and poultry.
The increased sale of oleomargarine
is given as an added cause of the,
situation that the commission men
now find themselves facing. Thou

the price at which butter has beer

Special Committee of House

special committee of the house of rep

The hearing will be held in the hall

public will be invited. Representatives
from both sides-commission government
and charter revision-will be asked to
come before the committee and submit
their arguments.

it is far into the night. However, the
committee will be prepared to go into the
question fully and completely, and give
both sides a fair hearing"
Both the commission charter and the
charter revision formulated by the city
council were referred to this commit
tee. the commission charter being intro
duced last Tuesday, and the revision more
than a week ago.
voters of Atlanta The commission
charter provides that the city council
shall call a special election for it to be

itss approval by the governor, and not
more than 40 days.
The charter revision is not TO be vot-
ed on as a whole. but its two main
points submitted TO the people. That
is whether council shall be reduced
from 80 to Is members in the manner
prescribed, and whether the boards shall
be reduce from ten to five members.
The fact is that these two points. to-
