Southern Express Co. Is
 Indicted in Atlanta

Atlanta, February Establishments charging violation of prohibition laws were returned here today against the Southern Express company and two of it's employees. The company was charged with bringing liquor into Atlanta for de- livery to persons giving fictitious names and also with delivering liquor on Sun day. W. T. Jordan, manager of the com pany's branch office, devoted exclusively to liquor shipments, and John Barrow, clerk at the same office were indicted on charges of delivering liquor shipments on Sunday
 The indictment followed an investiga- ton which became public last week, when Solicitor General John A. Boykin sought an injunction to close the com pany's liquor depot. Hearing was set for today. but no decision was reached to- day.
 Jordan and Barrow were released on $500 bond each. while it was announced that the company officials would be for mally served with notice of the indict- ment against it. In connection with the investigation, Alex George, a storekeeper. was indicted on charge of getting liquor under a false name. He was released on $500 bond

The efforts of the railroads to dissolve the congestion has for months resulted in embargoes. one after another, but so soon as one line was little cleared accumulated freight has been rushed to it so that often but a few hours have elapsed between the suspension of one embargo and the declaration of another.
 Any eastbound freight which can be hauled east of Chicago will be ac- cepted by western roads.
