SCHNEIDER TRIAL
TO Be POSTPONED
TILL SEPTEMBER Il

The trial Of Capt. Henry Schneider,
of the Ninth precinct, charged with
conduct prejudiciaI to the good order
and reputation OF the police force,
has been postponed from tomorrow to
September II.
This announcement was made this
afternoon by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Percival Marshall, chairman
Of the trial board, after a conference
with Attorney r. c. L. Moncure, rep
resenting the accused officer.
Mr.. Moncure told the assistant cor
poration counsel that he was called
10 Tennessee on business, and the
postponement was granted.
Captain Schneider has been on leave
Of absence since the charges were
filed.
Edward Ellison, junk dealer, OF AZ
Third street southwest, today
came to the defense of Captain
Schneider. He vigorously denied that
the police official did anything CUES
tionable to have the Ellison indict-
ment in Virginia nolprossed.
Ellison was indicted for larceny Of
q box OF shoes in the Potomac yards
OF the Washington and Southern Rail-
way, and Commonwealth Attorney
Ball charged that Schneider attempted
to have the case dropped.
Captain Schneider never did any
thing for me that was at all ques-
tionable. A colored man, who had
been working for me, without my
knowledge, took my horse and wagon
and went to the Potomac yards of the
Southern railway, where he was ar
rested on a charge of hauling stolen
goods
Il asked Captain Schneider to help
me recover my horse and wagon, and
the captain merely wrote Mr.. Ball a
note requesting that he turn over to
me my property"

Lansing's expositions, refers to the

and indirectly appeals to him to &C

PROTEST MADE AGAIN -
"NO-COMPETITION'' BILL

Atlanta, Ga, August 1.-Indications
are that Georgia municipalities will
join in very strenuous protest
against bill which had progressed
to the stage of favorable report by
the committee of the house to which
it was referred before anyone got
wind of its significance, and the effect
of which would be to prevent a city
or town from constructing or operat-
ing municipal lighting plant or gas
plan where such plant was already
in operation.
Mayor John c. Cook, of Columbus,
has written to Mayor Asa G. Gambler,
of Atlanta, denouncing the bill as an
iniquitous piece OF legislation and re-
questing him to join in a protest
against its passage. AS the result of
Mayor Cooks aggressive action in
the sraatter. Representative Joe fIifl
Hall, of Bib county, the author of
tHC Dli, AIdS IldU II Te-COHlHltIeQ TO
General Judiciary Committee No.
of the House for hearing.
The bill provides that no person,
company, association or corporation,
whether public or private, shall con-
struct or operate a public utility
where one is already in operation,
without first obtaining the approval
of the Railroad Commission based
on showing that such duplicate
utility is necessary in the public SER
vice. Under the head of public utili-
ties" the bill specifics street car lines,
electric light and power plants, gas
plants for all purposes and telephone
lines or systems.
The effect of the bill is to prevent,
without approval OF the railroad COM
mission, the advantages of competi-
ton, whether such competition be
inaugurated by rival company or by
the municipality itself.

COLLEGE ENDOWMENTS
BE EXEMPTED OF TAXES

Atlanta. Ga, August l.-Exemption
of college endowments from taxation
won a notable victory in the senate
yesterday when it passed that BODY
by vote Of "a to 7, and the friends
of the measure expect that it will
get through the house, where it has
failed every year for several years.

majority, but on account of the failure
to get the two-thirds majority requir-
ed TO pass constitutional amend
ment. The membership of the house
is 189. Twothirds of that number
is l26 Thus the friends of exempting
college endowments must secure 1926
votes to pass the bill in the house.
Georgia is one of the few states in
the union that does not exempt col
lege endowments. The measure now
pending in the legislature has been
up several years. Always it has re-
ceived majority of the votes in the
house, but never quite the two-thirds
vote. While the state is unable to
provide for its institutions of higher
learning on par with other states
against whose sons and daughters the
sons and daughters must compete in
the great contest of life, it discourages
the development of private educa-
tlonal institutions by refusing to ex-
empt their endowments from tax
