Atlanta is to witness, a formal in
vestigation Of the power. rates charged
By the Georgia Railway and Electric
Company. despite the fact that the city
council effected a compromise with that
corporation.
Shortly before the city's petition ask
ing the state railroad commission to
make an Investigation Of light AND
power rates was withdrawn. NJ. l.. Fain
and w. L. Fain vrlade an independent
request for reduction Of power rates.
Now, both of the Fains are sticking
to their guns and have insisted that
the railroad commission proceed with
an Investigate ton of power rates as
asked in their petition. The commits
sion has set the hearing for June 49,
When the city council finally agreed
TO the reduction schedules submitted
by the electric company it was under
stood the lower rates would not become
effective until a distribution system,
now under contraction, was completed,
or until January l. 1918
The electric company was willing. so
1t is understood, 10 make this same
agreement with the Eains. but both in
sisted that the reduction was just in
asmueh- as the company had agreed to
make it. and ii should be made at once
1t is probable the commissions in
vestigation Will be made wholly upon
the power rates charged the Fains
However if the commission makes use
of data collected by appraisal experts
furnished by the city before the COM
promise was effected the entire raise
schedules of the company will be taken
up.
In addition to the Fain petition. r. s
Bosche has an appeal backed by the
city council before the state body for
an investigation of the charges of the

Of hearing of this has not been set.

serious consideration from the Geor-
gia Bar association, in annual conven-
ton at Tybee Papers on the subject
were read by Judge Henry C. Ham
mond of Augusta; Roland Ellis of Ma
con. and E. r. Black. of Atlanta. Law
yers who heretofore have been inclined
to treat this subject lightly appear to
recognize that the time is coming when
they can no longer dodge the issue.
Hamilton Douglas, dean of the Atlanta
Law school. announced to the conven-
ton that his school would not matricu-
late any more women as long as they
are denied the right to practice in
Georgia.
Judge Andrew j. Cobb, of Athens,

CHICAGO, June 1.~-Scarcely within
the memory of Republican politicians
has the pre- convention meeting of the
Republican national committee been.
charged with the vital significance that.
will face that body wien it convenes
here June s to select the temporary
role of the Republican national conven-
ton.
Heretofore, the selection of the Re-
publican nominee for the presidency
has practically been cut and dried, the
usual protests from the Southern states
amounting 60 little more than empty
form. But this year the old order of
things is changed. and today. five days
before the committee hearing. finds that
body an important arbiter in the fight
for the nomination between Colonel
Roosevelt and President Taft
The vita importance of the commit
tees decision has led to heated dis
cussion as TO its probable action with
regard to the two hundred or more con
tested delegates. whose cases will be
brought before it next Thursday
Each Manager Sees Victory.
Manager Mckinley. for President
Taft today positively asserted that the
majority of Mr. Roosevelt's contesting
delegates will be thrown out by the
committee, and his predictions seem to
be borne out by the makeup of that
body, which, through its machine ap-
pointed committeeman, is believed by
Taft supporters to stand at 1888 in
favor of the president
Manager Dixon. who is in charge of
Colonel Roosevelt's fight, is equally
firm in predicting that the contested
delegates from the South will be seated
by the committee.
Secretary of State Knox. the Taft
choice for temporary chairman, will be
appointed, it is believed 1t also is
thought Taft men will control a suffi-
cient number of delegates, leaving the
final decision of their right to sit in
the convention up to the credentia
committee of that body. or in the last
analysis. to the majority vote of the
delegates on the floor of the conven-
ton.
Both the Roosevelt and Taft fac
tions before the committee will be rep
resented by some of the foremost legal
talent in the land.
Manager Mckinley OF the Taft cam
paign said today:
Mckinley Says, gTaft on First Ballot"
The only thing Ne expect sand the
only thing He have a right to demand
FROM. the national committee is square

tested a large number IF our dele
gates, particularly from the South But
/ can confidently say the majority Of
these contests will be overruled. and /
am certain that all rightly elected and
appointed Taft delegates will be seated
when the convention opens
THE statement has been made that
we are depending on. winning the ma
jority of the contests to nominate Mr..
Taft We are not. We have enough
delegates, without the contested ones.

lot"

What we want from the national
committee is a square deal. But we
are not worrying about the action OF

Harding May Present
President Name.
While Secretary Hilles would not
positively assert who would nominate
President Taft at the, Chicago conven-
ton, he admitted that both Senator
Burton and Warren G Harding, of
Ohio, were being considered for this
honor. The fact that Harding. who
was defeated by Harmon during the
last gubernatoria1 campaign, had a
long conference with the president yes
terday, supposedly concerning the Ohio
situation. has apparently thrown the
balance in his favor the more so since
Senator Burton failed signally to carry
out his promises that the president
would at least make good showing in
his home state.

Chicago in time to be present at the
