the Macon Sash. Door and Lumber
Company ct al. VS.. Southern Railway.
The plaintiffs, who are prominent
business men of this city. pray for an
order enjoining the Southern from
owning and operating other roads
which enter Macon. The complaint
alleges that the Southern has secured
control of u number of roads, notably
the Georgia Southern and Florida,
and the Central of Georgia, thereby
destroying competition in freight rates
to and from Macon. and that this is
in violation Of the constitution of the
State of Georgia. The case has caused

a CARD FROM FATHER STARR.
REGARDING RE
CENT CONVERT FROM CATH
OLIC FAITH

Father Wilson, Of the Sacred Heart
Catholic Church, this city, sends the
Virginian-Pilot the following from the
Baltimore American, With request that
it be given publication in Norfolk:
Rev. William e. Starr. pastor Of
Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Mount
Royal and Lafayette avenues, writes to
the American as follows:
ITO the Editor OF the American:
This morning visited the Home
of the Aged. conducted by the Little
Sisters of the Poor, Valley and Pres
ton streets, to discover something about
the alleged Sub-deacon and eX-Capu-
chin monk, who was received into the
Brantley Baptist Church a few even
inSs ago by the Rev. M. b. Wharton.
The superior of the house very kindly
brought me the register. in which oil
the facts ascertainable concerning their
inmates are recorded. Nrom this record
find that H. James Kochler entered
the institution the 4th day OF August,
1888. His birth is placed in the year
1891, which makes him rs years OF age
ut present. His profession Is given as
that Of teacher. He left the home on
the 2Sth of last October having been
in the house little over year. His
history. as given to the superior and
others by himself Is rs follows:
He was born of Protestant father
and n Catholic mother. The girls were
brought up Catholics, the boys Prot
estantS. He has three sons. all Prot
cstant preachers, one at or near Pitts
burg. one in Germantown, and one in
l'rooklyn CO. The reason given for not
living with his children was that he
had become 4 Catholic and that il
would get his sons into trouble with
their congregations to have him live
with them. AS a matter of fact the man
was received into the Catholic Church
By the Rev. Father Cleary. of ST.
Paurs Church. Reading, Pa, and was
by him sent here TO the Little Sisters
Asylum.
Among other statements of his to
the superior was that he had been a
Baptist preacher When he left the
home Thursday week, lie told the other
inmates that he was going TO his SON
In Pittsburg, who was to put him into
rooms and pay his rent. 1t is not at ali
impossible that lie has been an in
mate of Il monastery. or that lie is In
sub dcacons orders. as according to his
own account of himself, he seems to
nave been everything In turn; but con,
sidering his eccentric career, 1 prefer
to have other evidence than his own
for both these statements. If true at
