Railroad Commissioner Colquitt yes-

that milling in transit privileges be ex-
tended to apply on logs. The text of
the motion follows:
"Proposed rules to govern In the
matter of sawing or milling logs in

"First—The transit privileges herein
proposed shall be understood to mean
the stopping of carload shipments of
logs, to be sawed or milled into lum-

logs and final destination of the prod-

tions hereinafter provided,

point must be on the originating line

ing understood that what are termed
logging or train roads are subject to
the provisions of these rule® the same
as are regular common carriers.

the total so far issued for the holidays
at about sixty, and he has not as yet
completed the list. Probably the most
notable pardon Issued was that of Bob
Stevens, one of the so-called Humph-
reys lynchers. The indicents connected
with the granting of this pardon are
quite dramatic. It was not the inten-
tion of the board of pardons or of the
governor to take any action on any of
the so-called Humphreys lynchers un-
til they had served ten years, which
will be next April. But prompt action
in the case of Stevens was due to a

RAILROAD COMMISSION NOW
CONSIDERING TWO ORDERS
PREPARED BY ASSIST-
ANT WALTHALL.
Answering verbal inquiries concern-
ing subdivision 14 of the fraternal
beneficiary act of the first called ses-
sion of the Thirty-first legislature,
Assistant Attorney General Leddy yes-
terday afternoon furnished an opinion
to Commissioner of Insurance and
Banking Love wherein It is held that
the bond required to be executed by
such organisation in the sum of >5000
shall be executed by the Incorporators
and made payable to the commissioner
of insurance and banking.
“I am of the opinion,” says Mr.
Leddy, “that it was evidently the in-
tention of the legislature in enacting
this subdivision to require the pro-
posed incorporators of such fraternal
beneficiary associations to execute the
bond as principals, inasmuch as the
only condition of the bond is that they
shall return the advance payments
made to them by applicants for benefit
certificates in the event the organiza-
tion is not completed within one year.
Inasmuch as the commissioner of in-
surance and banking is required by
law to supervise such associations, it
is our opinion that this bond should
be made payable to the ommssione"
of insurance and his successors in
ofce."
