WILL TEST
RAIL RATE RRIGHTS

The right of the state railroad COM
mission to originate rates over the
Western and Atlantic railroad under
the terms of the lease contract, now In
existence between the state and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and ST. Louis
railroad will be tested in the third di-
vision of.the superior court tomorrow.
Judge Pendleton today granted spe
cial order for the hearing of the in
junction suit brol 9ht by the state to
enforce the terms of the contract to
apply Georgia freight classifications to
Chattanooga shipments.
The suit, filed siA months ago under
instructions from former Governor
Hoke Smith, alleges a breach Of CON
tract on the part of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis for failure
to submit Georgia freight rates on in
terstate shipments over the line of the
Western and Atlantic.
The states action came after pro-
tests from the Atlanta Freight bureau.
The local organization first appeared
before the state railroad commission.
The commission sent the matter to
Governor Brown. asserting that If the
petition was to be effective action must
be taken by the state under the lease
contract, as the commission was pow
erless to maintain rates on Interstate
shipments.
Governor Brown returned the matter
to the commission for further infor
nation. Governor Smith was in Of
flee when it came back. 1t went to the
commission a second time and after an
exhaustive hearing, went again to Gov
ernor Smith, who finally ordered suit

commission Tye, Peoples & Jordan

LOCKER CLUB ACT
BY COURT

Superior Judge Pendleton declared
today that Atlanta's new locker club
ordinance. passed to meet the require
ments Of a recent decision of the state
supreme court, was valid.
The jurist's decision came when he
dissolved the temporary injunction
granted the Georgia Athletic club, a
Forsyth street organization. The club
had operated two months under the
injunction which had been obtained
after the city council had refused to
grant the club a permit
Certain phases of the courts ruling
eventually may affect every locker
club in Atlanta. The court maintained
that there was not an organization of
similar nature, selling drinks through
the check system, that was not az
least in technical violation of the pro-
hibition law.
Judge Pendleton's decision was based
strictly on the fact that the club had
been refused permit under the new
ordinance and the city could not be re-
strained from enforcing the ordinance.
Attorneys for the club Immediately
gave notice of an appeal
Argument brought out the point that
the practice In vogue in Atlanta locker
clubs of allowing non-residents to pur-
chase drinks on cards extended by
members might be in violation of the
law. The point was that members are
assumed to have lockers and drinks
purchased by them from their own
lockers With guests the revenue from
the sale of liquor goes to the club treas

KICKERS'
COLUMN
If you are unhappy,
have a crouch or a
grievance, here's the
place to tell about it.

Editor The Georgian:
What | should like explained is, arc
there any merits to the P. a. Y. f. cars
Their Inconvenience is sure marked
and principally the cars of the present
construction are an imposition upon
the white public During rush hours
the whites naturally occupy more than
their quota of seats, and as Conse-
quence the rear of the coach is pack
ed with standing negroes. This com
pels our women folks to elbow their
way TO the front of the coach, which is
next to a physical impossibility for
even man, unless of the physique Of
Jim Jeffries 1t appears to me, before
the transit company adopt northern
ideas as to coaches, they should study
local conditions. Their engineers could
have secured plans of the coaches used
in some of our cities whereby the pas
sengers enter from the middle or two
thirds back. This divides the coach
into two separate and distinct com
partments. The negroes should occupy
the rear compartment and the whites
the front. Furthermore. this type of
coach was designed principally for its
rapidity in loading and unloading pas
sengers
For my part, fail to see where the
transit company is gaining time at
stops with the present p A. Y E. cars
The only reason their schedule time is
shortened is due entirely to the fact
that the trucks are equipped with
heavy motors, and the elapse of time
from dead stop to full speed is short
ened over the light trucks
Yours very truly,

TO AVOID RACE
FOR $500 PRIZE
M. c. Ramsey Advances Idea to Make
Winning of Purse for Best Den
Ver-Junction Run Matter of
Very Small Chance.

So general has become the inter-
est in the offer of the Grand juno
tion Motor club to pay $500 for the
Dest time for motor run between
Grand junction and Denver during
the coming summer that plans have
been made by few racing enthusi-
asts in Denver to make IL a danger
ous and senseless race from Denver
10 this city at the risk of life and
limb. To avoid this purposeless
race, NJ. C. Ramsey. president of the
Motor club, has devised a scheme
which will add materially to the
Der OF visitors to Grand junction as
a result of the prize and will pre-
vent any unnecessary racing.
My idea" said Mr.. Ramsey, this
morning, lis to have a committee of
the club place in a sealed envelope
a specified time, say days 6 hours
l9 minutes and 40 second, and at
the end of the running season the
car whose time in making the dis
tance comes closest to that specified
in the sealed envelope will win the
prize.
1T can be given out that the
winning time must be less than sew
en- days and not more than five days
This will give the tourist plenty of
time to make his journey over the
range a pleasant one with plenty of
time to stop at any point that may
interest him"
Mr.. Ramsey suggests that regis
tering stations be placed in Colora-
do Springs, Denver and Pueblo and
when the autoist arrives in Grand
Junction he register at one of the
local newspaper offices. He will
nave with him slip given him by
the keeper of the station on the east
ern slope which can be compared
with his arriving time here and his
running time can be recorded on a
printed blank and filed in a sealed
envelope until the close of the run
nlng season when the autoist whose
tlme nearest approaches the time in
the committees envelope will be
awarded the $500 purse by the club.
The season will probably open on
May l and close October 10. This
plan will be discussed at the Motor
club meeting next Saturday.

FOR THIS
PLACE
Boom Started at Delta for Popular
Grand Junction Attorney for the
Office of Judge of the Sew
enth Judicial District.
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Delta, Colo, Mar. ia number
of attorneys and a number of other
citizens who became well acquainted
with the attorney while he was in
the legislature as co-worker for the
Western Slope counties, with DR..
Whiting, the Delta County member,
have launched a boom here for Will
liam Weiser of Grand Junction for
judge of the eth judicial district of
Colorado.
The Delta County admirers of the
Grand Junction attorney propose to
make an urgent appeal to him to en-
ter the race for the nomination. Mr.
Weiser has often visited here and
made a number of speeches here in
the interest of the democratic party
in past campaigns, therefore he has
quite large acquaintance in Delta
county. Many leaders here seem to
think Mesa County man would
make the strongest race on the demo-
cratic ticket.
The Sentinel, on receipt of the
above special late this afternoon,
found, on investigation, that the
movement started by Delta people
will find a great many enthusiastic
supporters in Grand Junction and
Mesa county. We are informed that
many local people have been urging
Mr.. Weiser to run, but that he has
made no statement whatever.
William Weiser is a member of the
law firm of Wheeler & Weiser, one
of the best known law firms in west
ern Colorado, and ranks as one of the
ablest and one of the most success
ful attorneys in this part of the state
Following the completion of courses
in two of the great law colleges of
the west. Mr.. Weiser took up the
practice of law in this city and has
met with enviable success. His
splendid service as this county's rep
resentative in the Legislature for two
years aided in giving him a state
wide acquaintance. There is no
question but what the young attor-
ney is splendidly qualified for the
office which many of his friends
would like to see him fill.
The race for district judge promis-
es to prove a most interesting one.
Already two of the strongest and
most representative attorneys in this
city are being urged to announce as
candidates for the democratic nomin-
ation-Messrs. Sternberg and Weiser
while District Attorney R. NJ. Lo-
gan of Delta announced his candi-
dacy some time ago.
