N NEW BRITAIN DATLY HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924, e ATLANTA POLICE CHIEF OUSTED FROH HIS JOB His Dismissal is Result of His Unau- thorized Raid on Home of Mrs. Candler Atlanta, Ga., April 12.—Walter T. Candler, Atlanta clubman, son of G. Candler, must pay the note $20,500 he gave Clyde K. Byficld after the latter accused him of attacking Mrs, Byfield in her cabin on a steamer taking them abroad in 1922, a jury in superior court decided last night. Candler must pay interest at seven per cent, amounting - to approximately $2,300, He instituted proceedings’to cancel the note on grounds that he made it under duress to protect himself from Byfield’s threatened physical violence and public exposure. Testimony at the trial was that he gave Byfield a check for $25,000 on the night of the in dent and that on their arrival in Paris he tendered the note in part payment of the check. Mrs. Byfield recently was unsuccess- | ful in a $100,000 dama; against Candler for the alleged tack. RAILROAD KEEP LP FIGHT FOR RATES Argue Agaifist Repeal of Trans- portation Act Sections Washington, April 12.—Railroad representatives continued today before the senate interstate commerce com- mittee their argument against repeal of the rate sectlons of the transporta- tion act. Howard Elliott, chairman of the board of Northern Pacifie, predicted such action would shake the confi- dence of the investing public and prove detrimental to shippers and em- ployes alike. “To my mind,” Mr. Elliott said, “there will be more protection given the 10,000,000 people who are using the railroads, and to the people who own the securities of the railroads, besides the 50,000,000 who are interested in life insurance poli- cles, savings banks, etc., if congress in action at- its wisdom should for the present in | trying to make amendments to the transportation act and permit stabili- ty of regulation and stability of rail- road conditions, “Section 15-A is a fundamental part of the act and helps to bring that pro- | tection to the raiiroad systems of the United States that is essential, particu- larly to the well-being of the users of the rallroads, Its repeal would be a notice to the investing public that the congress was unwilling to continue a reasonable and protective provision of the act which is helpful in obtaining new capital for railroads. *The transportation act as a whole i% an honest id constructive effort re- sulting from many years of discussion and debate and provides a reasonably stable and yet flexible system, It has hardly had time to function under settled economic conditions.” In 1913, Mr. Elllott sald, the six principal rallroads in the northwest had A net rellway oporating income of $110,809,391 or 20.7 cents out of each dollar of revenue, In 19238 they had $87,142,126, or 13.8 cents out of each dollar, while meantime there has been invested in road enquipment $697,000,000. The Northern Pacific in 1916 ecarned a rate of return of 6.71 per cent, while in 1923 it was 2.98 per cent. Sectlon 15-A had not prevented re- adjustment in freight rates, he said, the annual report of the Interstate commerce showing that reductions during the calendar year 1923 Jessen- ed the total freight transportation charges paid by the shipping public by more than $1,500,000, CASE FOR COLLECTOR Washington, April 2.~Appoint- ment of Walter H.
