not be countenanced by decent So

SAL00N|ST STAYS
WIFE, THEN SELF

MACON, Jan. 19.-Joseph McWhor-
ter, a saloonkeeper, shot and killed
his wife to-day and then took his
own life with the same pistol. The
double tragedy was committed in the
presence of their two children, one 4
and the other II years of age.
McWhorter had been drinking
heavily for several weeks. To-day
his wife reproached him for his con-
duct, and, after a brief argument, he
procured his pistol and shot her
twice. AS he pointed the pistol at
his own head his elder child, girl,
begged him to desist, but he roughly
showed her away and pulled the trig-
ger. The first bullet inflicted a slight
wound, so he fired again.
McWhorter had been worried over
his saloon business, which had been a
loss during recent months, on account
of the campaign of the Law En-
forcement League.

From all parts of the Southern

various State Railway Commissions
gathered in Atlanta Monday morning
to discuss the question of intrastate
express rates with relation to the new
schedule laid down by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to 60 into eff
feet January l.
There was meeting of represen-
tatives from the State commissions
all over the country in December, -
said Royal c. Dunn, a member of the
Florida commission. 1T was held in
Chicago, and a tentative schedule of
rates was suggested at that time. to
be considered by later meetings in
the various zones. 1t is, of course,
not possible that the interstate rates
should be based on the interstate
rates provided by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. That would be
altogether too high a scale. The zone
meetings will consider the suggestion
Of the Chicago meeting and either ac-
cept 1t or reject 1t or adopt it with
notifications"
Meeting with the State commission
representatives are w. A. Ryan and
John G. Dunlap, special representa-
tives of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Murphey Gambler and

gia commission, represent this State.

dent of the Southern Express Com
pany, also is here for the meeting, as

Michael is an emery looking" lit
tie thing, but he is well bred and
well trained. In the play there is also
a little white dog, the pet of society
and supposedly the "class" of dog
dom, while Michael is the scum" of
the canine world. The two are pit
ted against each other in a show of
class distinction, which is where
Michael has to use his brains.
Naturally, Michael is great
