ATLANTA WILL DEFY
RAIL BOARD RULING

ATLANTA. CA.-Expressions of

Of the action of City Council in its
efforts to defy the Railroad Com
missions by threatening to cnjoin the

and the Atlanta Gas Light Company

increases recently granted by the
Commission. 1t is pointed out that
the Councils action is in specially
bad form inasmuch as the attorneys
representing council committees be-
tore the commission stated repeated
ly at the heading that if it could be
shown that the company was entitled
to increased revenues they would be
the last to enter an objection to the
necessary increases being granted.
After a thorough and exhaustive
hearing OF the merits OF the case, dur
ing the course OF which the city was
given every opportunity to present
any evidence it might have that the
company was not entitled to the in
crease asked for, the commission
found that the company was entitled
to certain increases and so ordered.
1t held that it was without authority
to order an increase in fares but stat
ed that six-cent fare should be
granted and recommended to the CITY
council of Atlanta that the company
be permitted to charge six cents, In
stead Of following the commissions
recommendation, council voted not
only not to grant the six cent fare
but not to grant the light and power
rates which the commission ordered.
The commission called attention to
the fact that Atlanta has the third
lowest electric light and power rate in
the United States; and yet, in view of
this, the council committee states that

GERMAN HATRED AIMED
AT ALIEN CUSTODIAN

Washington, July 1s.-German
propagandists who have been set to
the task of infiaming the German peo-
Pile with hatred for the United States
are devotirg great attention to the
work of THE custodian OF alien prop
erty in the United States.
A recent dispatch from Berne,
Switzerland. to the Strassburger Post
refers to 'the brigand Of the Maison
Blanche" evidently referring to
President Wilson. and charges that
America Is converting to Its own pur-
poses all German and alien proper
ties available. The dispatch Is
printed under the caption. THE Thief
with the Stars aHd- Stripes, play
upon the fact that prison inmates
wear striped uniforms.
A democratic paper published at
Berne makes a spirited reply to the
charges, pointing out that the United
States is not confiscating property. but
is only sequestering it. that the enemy
may gain no support through 1t dur
ing the war. It then points out that
the Germans have boldly seized AL
sace-Lorraine property which has
been in the ownership OF old families
of that region ever since the territory
was taken from France by the Ger
mans
