IN
ASSEMBLY
IS LED BY
CHENEY

An aggressive movement to abolish
railroad grade crossings in Georgia
has been inaugurated in the present
Legislature
1t will be backed vigorously by a
number of the strong men Of the
House. headed by Representative John
P. Cheney, of Cobb. a legislator of
force and large experience.
Mr.. Cheney, said to be slated for
the craftsmanship of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad Committee, is per-
haps the best posted man in the
House on matters pertaining to rail-
roads, and the fact that he is to IA
Their the movement for the abolitio On
! Of grade crossings has been accepted
by the House membership as mean
ing that the movement has good
chance OF being carried to a success
full conclusion.
The gentleman from Cobb will en-
deavor to divide the cost Of providing
underpasses and overpasses. where
they may be deemed necessary, equi-
tably and fairly between the roads
and the counties or municipalities
wherein the dangerous crossings are
located, and it will be the purpose Of
the measure to inaugurate the con-
structive work gradually and within
the bounds of reason, in so far as the
cost of the same is concerned.
Thinks Expense Justified.
II is realized that the matter of
putting in underpasses and overpasses
likely will prove to be very expensive.
but Representative Cheney thinks it
will be a paying proposition, not only
in the saving Of human lives, but in
the saving of real money, for both
parties to the work.
It will be left to the Railroad Com
mission to designate such crossings
as are rated dangerous. and for it to
say further upon what terms the dan
gerous situations shall be remedied.
Mr.. Cheney believes that the rail-
roads, when they understand the full
import Of his proposed mea sure, not
only will not fight 1t. but may be de-
pended upon to cooperate in its en-
actment. And, whether that is so or
not, the gentleman from Cobb ex-
presses himself as determined to push
the matter to a conclusion before the
present Legislature.
Assembly to Mark Time.
Neither the House nor the Senate
is expecting to do anything more than
mark time" from now until Mon
day.
Governor Browns final communica-
lions are all in, and every executive
appointment requiring the confirma-
ton Of the Senate has been attended
to.
To-day the retiring Governor is
busy winding up various details Of
his administration, none Of which are

in the shallow water along the lake
shore in Rogers park. She had not
been dead longer than three hours, an
undertaken asserted. A bullet hole
over the right eye and two abrasions
of the scalp are proof of the woman's
violent death The victim could not
have held revolver in a position
which would send the bullet on the
downward course it took, the police
say.
On the beach the officers found an
automatic revolver with one empty

in the sand which were traced to an
alley about so feet away, where there
were several footprints made by a
mans shoe and an umbrella bearing
the label of a Milwaukee manufac-

murdered in the alley, dragged into a
few feet of water and that the waves
washed the body ashore again.
The body is that of a woman about
30 years old and who weighed about
brown. She wore a black serge skirt
pink lowered washable waist, with
double front black stockings, black
shoes and a shawl. The police believe
she was a domestic.
