Mileage Pulling Case
Goes Before Count

Atlanta, Feb. 3.-Injunction
suits of Georgia carries recently
filed to the ruling of the railroad
commission ordering railroads to
pull mileage on trains went to trial
before Judge w. D. Ellis in third
division of superior court today.
Demurrer's and answers were filed
to the railroads suits by the COM
mission, members of the commits
sion and the officers of the travel
ers' association interested in the
litigation and made defendants in
the carriers bills to enioin the
commissions order.
The assignment of cases as to
the order of trial WAS made
through an agreement among the
attorneys engaged shortly after
IL o'clock and the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, constituting one
group, went to hearing.
It's understood that the cases
! will take two days to complete and
probably longer if the demurrer
filed by Judge J. K. Hines of TIE
railroad commission, is overruled.
The demurrer filed sets forth that
the railroad companies had made
no case against the commission by
their manner of procedure. It was
set forth that the railroads had no
right to an injunction. Under the
ruling, the commissions attorney
maintained if the railroads found
it a hardship they should have re-
fused to comply. If this was done
they would be liable to suit
brought by the governor for VIC
lation of the railroad commission
act of 1907 and the question would
be put up to the courts in that
matter.
To this argument the railrond
answered that in such an event
they would be liable to multitude
of fines not only from the state
but from private individuals.

Payment Of Attorneys
For Poor Discussed
STATE TO PAY COUNSEL
Governors Recent State
ment on Question is
Approved

Atlanta, Jan. 3l-Gov. Browns
recent statement in committing
the death sentence of Henry Tay-
lor, of Baldwin county to life i'm
prisonment, that negroes resting
under serious charges were fro
quently not properly Representa- d
in the trials is receiving vide at
tention and favorable comment.
Gov. Brown has received scores
OF letters from all parts of the
state commencing him for his
position and utterances along this
line. The governor stated that
u d G e S frequently appointed
young and inexperienced attorneys
to defend such cases against old
and experienced prosecutors. He
assumed the position that such
defendants did not and could not
of necessity have proper repre-
sentation atthc bar.
Many of the leading attorneys
here discussing the matter and ad-
hitting the correctness generally
of the governors position in the
premises, favor a law for the state
to pay certain fees to attorneys
for defending prisoners not able tc
pay for counsel.
Judge L. S. Roam here believes
that this would be the proper thing
to do and that this would make il
possible for the poorest and hum
blest negro to get proper defense
IN trial.
Judge Roam said the judges
themselves were frequently placed
at disadvantage in such instances.
The more experienced and ahIer
lawyers usually have all the bust
ness they can attend to, and when
counsel in such cases is required,
it would be grave injustice to take
these attorneys from their other
affairs.
Governor Browns statement has
undoubtedly set not only the legal
fraternity, but thinking people
generally to bordering. That he
is correct in the main is generally
admitted.

ORNAMENTS FOR HAIR
GREAT VARIETY OF STYLES FROM
WHICH TO SELECT.
Feathers, Flowers and Chains Corn
bined Are One of the Features That
Mark the Coiffures Of no
Present Season,

The hair ornaments worn with eve
ming toilets this season tend to keep
the hair in place and encourage the
neat and trim air Of the small Golf
fure, for most of them are on the llet
or bandeau order.
The wide flet is less used than 1t
was last year, but In its place has
come the more generally becoming
narrow bandeau. Some of the pref
test things of this kind are mere sim
gle lines of large brilliants, encir-
cling the head fatty. and usually dis
appearing under the coils or strands
or curls of the back of the couture,
though many of these bandeaux go all
the way round the head.
Pearls and other jewels or imitation
jewels are used in the same way as
the brilliants, and often the band
is a tritie wider and includes both
jet and brilliants or pearls and bril-
liants.
Sequin and bead bands, usually less
expensive than the jeweled ones, are
liked, too, and any n OF these mar
row bands ia likely to hold an orna-
ment posed Whereby fancy dictates.
Very frequently this season fancy
seems TO dictate the bizarre instead
of the beautiful, and heron aigrets, os-
prey, etc, go shooting off from the
couture at such ridiculous and I'M
beautiful angles as one sees in MIL
linery trimmings.
But, on the other hand, there are
many delightful things among the
band and osprey or aigret hair r
ments, the delicate spraying feather
being sometimes posed exactly v
the middle OF the forehead, sometimes
dropping downward at the side, some
times curling upward at a point well
toward the back. A ieweled cabo-
chon usually holds the feather to the
Ieweled band.
Tiny mercury wings. jeweied. span
gled. etc, are pretty, too. in connec-
ton with the pearl or brilliant
circlet.
Wide bands of jeweled gold gallon or
embroidered gold net, with or without
narrow binding of velvet. are drawn
closely around the head and finish
with a jeweled clasp or ornament, and
velvet bands embroidered in metal or
jewels or beads are much used, too.
In Paris many of these wider swath-
ing bands have cabochons covering
the ears, and weird effects are e
plotted, sLch as the mad tiara" which
is a band of velvet with ear cabochons
of the yeIvpt and gold with straight
aigrets standing stiffiy erect all around
the band, the shape Of the head show
ing through the fine feathers,
This. of course, Is fantasy run mad,
as Is the Russian tiara with SITS spiky
front points and It's jeweled chains
hanging from side to side OF the tiara
unuer the chin.

GAMES CARDED SOON

Work on the 1914 playing schedules
of the American and National leagues
will begin on Jan. ., when the book
I ing experts Of the two major organi-
zations viii get together at French
Lick, Ind, to shape up the coming
campaign for pennants.
President johnson of the American
league received word yesterday that
President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh
club and Secretary Heydler of the
National league would be on hand to
meet him at the Indiana resort on the
day following 1914's birthday prepared
to frame the schedules for the coming
season. Secretary Harridge OF the
American league will accompany Mr..
Johnson TO the conference to assist in
the work
April IA has been definitely agreed
on as the date for opening the next
season, but when the schedule can be
wound up is not so certain. If the
regulation 156 games can be booked
so as to end the season on Oct 4 that
will be the closing date. Last year
the season opened on April 10 and
closed on Oct. ). 1t was decided not
TO try to begin quite so early next
year, but to start the battle four days
later. That may entail extending the
schedule a day or two longer than
Oct. 4, which corresponds to the 1913
finale
If the usual order of Attenuation is
followed next year the White Sox will
open the season at home and the Cubs
Will open in Cincinnati. The other
western inaugurals will occur in ST
Louis and Detroit, it being the Ma
tional leagues turn to start the ball
rolling in the Mound city.

week the magnates will go 10 Cincin-
natl to attend the annual meeting of

FORMER ISLANDER
RECEIVES OFFER
Joe Berger, Who Is Wintering
in Rock Island, Wanted by
Kansas City Team.

Joe Berger, the Rock Island Dutch
man, who keep things warm around
the middle station for the White Sox,
and who lead the second baseman of
the American league this past season
in fielding, has not been sighted in
the least by the Federal league.
The third league wants Joe amongst
its stars and George Stovall, who is
plotting the Kansas City portion of
the Feds recently made the former
Rock Island player an offer, which
looked rather pleasing to the Dutch
man.
The deal has not been consummated
as yet. but since the talk has been to
the effect that the Sox were willing to
release the ex-Islander, Berger has not
been slow in keeping his eyes open
for a new. berth which would pay him
as well if not better than the White
Hose.
Berger, who is wintering- in Rock
Island, claims that the offer made by
Stovall was agreeable to him as far as
the money was concerned, but that he
would not consider any deal until he
was assured of the cash by its being
placed in a bank or in the hands Of a
third party.

AMERIGUS HAS NO
FEAR OF LEWIS
Baltimore Wrestler Says He
Will Evade Famous Hold on
Next Monday Night.

Chicago. Ill. Dec. 27-A terrific
struggle is looked for when 'Strans
Ter Ed Lewis and Gus Schoenlein
lAmeTicusD clash in their scheduled
finish wrestling contest on Monday
night at the Empire theatre.
There is far more at stake in this
match than the mere purse. The
money consideration for the winner
Is secondary TO the real prize held
out TO the victor. This is a match
with the new foreign wonder, Gustav
Fristensky. the Bohemian champion,
at the Globe clubs next show.
With the prospect in view for a
battle with the invader. it is needless
to say that each man will put forth
every effort to beat his opponent as
quickly as possible, and in the most
impressive fashion.
In speaking of the impending battle,
Americus expressed himself as fully
confident of attaining a victory That
neck yoke of Lewis / hear so much
about may be a deadly grip and the
explanation ! could get OF ii so far
indicates that it is. Still. in my opin-
ion. il is one of the hardest TO obtain
on an opponent who knows the game.
And I think Ill be able TO guard
against IL at any time. or course, a
novice will fall into most any kind
OF a hold. and Il need not necessarily
be the neck yoke. Any other hold IS
lust as effective / think / will vary
my usual wrestling tactics IN this
match with Lewis and will fight him
on the mat rather than from stand
ing position"
Gustav Fristensky will appear in
public for the first time in this city on
the same bill. He will be asked 10
take on a few OF the second-Tste
heavyweights in one-fall matches. The
foreigner is in wonderful condition
and so powerful that IL takes a half
dozen OF the local men TO give him
any kind OF a workout. He will also
ask for a match with the winner Of

BURNS TRAINING
PELKEY SECRETLY
Arthur's Manager Gives Him
First Workout After Crowd
Leaves Quarters.

San Francisco. Dec. 27.-The spice
OF mystery has been added to Arthur
Pelkeys training by the fact the pub
i lie is not permitted TO witness certain
features of his preparations for the
New Year match with Gunboat Smith
at Coffroth's DAILY City Arena.
For many days Pelkey and his
astute manager. Tommy Burns, have
set to with the gloves in private, and
the rail-birds who haunted the camp
at Milletts have been consumed with
curiosity to know what was going on.
So as not to appear inhospitable 10
camp visitors. Tommy and Arthur
changed their program yesterday.
They permitted those in quest of a
line on Pelkey to see all that was to
be seen at the headquarters, but they
went away by themselves later and
had a smashing tryout at some point
far removed from camp.
Charlie Horne, one of Pelkey's aids,
was the only man permitted to see thu
friendly bout, and Horne declares it
was a cOrker.
OF course, if Burns and Pelkey had
INDUCED in any such carvings on
az uli I4lltltS iiIc NlHllOtS NOhlu
have broken down doors to get a
glimpse of the proceedings, but il
seems the really violent work did not
begin until yesterday.
In the prior lessons Arthur was
merely coached in technique. Yester-
day he was required to use force, and
that's why Tommy sought out some
secluded spot where the turmoil of
furious battling would not have an
exciting effect on those who were not
allowed to witness it.
1t all serves to whet the public ap-
petite. and by the same token it en-
hances the reputation Tommy Burns
has acquired for doing things some
what differently.
Who remembers. by the way, when
Tommy was accused of donning false
whiskers and enyeloping himself in
capacious' ulster for the purpose of in
vading Gunner Moir's training quar-
tiers near London when the Gunner
was getting ready for his fight with
Burns?
Tommy said later the report was
base libel, but it was a good story,
anyhow.
