MORGAN MAY RULE SEA.
A Plan 10 Combine AIILeading Trans
Atlantic Steamship Lines.
AMERICAN INTERESTS WILL DOMINATE.
Scheme Makes the United States the
Real Ruler oil the Merchant Marine
OF the World.

! New York, April 19.-J. r. Morgan, VINO
| is row abroad, has practically consum
mated a plan to combine all the leading
Transatlantic steamship lines London dis
patches to the Associated Press announcing
the combination were today confirmed at
the Morgan banking -ouse The companies
to be consolidated will, it is understood,
include the American and Red Star lines,
White Star line, Dominion line, Atlantic
Transport line and the Leyland line The
two last named lines have been under Nor
gan control for some time. Probabe ad.
dltions to this list are the Cunard, Wilson
and Holland American companies, aud 1t is
understood that working agreement
will be reached with the other leading
Transatlantic companies, including the
North German Lloyd, Hamburg American,
General Transatlantic (Frenchl Allan and
Anchor lines.
II is yet too early to give the exact scope
OF the scheme, but as now outlined there
will be an American holding company into
which all the steamship companies which
propose to enter the combine will put their
stock holdings-'pool' their issues-ln e&'
actly the SAM way a. the various con
Germs embraced In the United States steel
corporation threw IN their holdings re-
cciymg in turn stock OF the main OF parent
company.
Just what the capitalization of the COM
p0ny is is not yet known, but the amount
Is likely to be well in excess of Sl1OuppOV.
This phase Of the project VIII depend en-
tirely on the number of steamship com
puuies taken into the combine
one Of the most interesting features OF
the plan deals With the subsidy question.
The White Star and Cunard lines now re-
ccive liberal subsidies from the British
frftt4n
Withheld or abroguted if the ships OF these
lines changed their tag from British to
American Because of this the ships OF
tba White STAR Cunard and the English
subsidized companies will doubtless be con-
tiuued uomluallv under British control

There is a pretty row in New York
resulting from the question Of the Sun
day closing of saloons in that city. 1t
has developed positions on either side
which seem reasonably to be untenable.
Governor O'Dell gravely announces
that New York city must not regulate
itself in this regard until the question
may have been passed upon by the
voters of the whole State
On the other hand we find leaders In
thought and creed advocating partial
opening of saloons on Sunday. Bishop
Potter and Rev, DR.. Rainsford. of New
York, take this view as we understand.
Their argument is that without such
concession the saloons will be kept open
ION the quiet whether or not. And in
their zeal for this view these holy gen.
tlemen have said in meeting, Bishop
Potter, that prohibition is an "impu-
dent fraud" and DR.. Rainsford, that the
w. c. 7, l.. women are doing the
DEVILS work." all of which shows that
the Family Entrance" seems to have
come to stay by the grace of Reform.

BODIES ARE IN THE RIVER.
Mr. Cornelius Thompson Returns from Rich
mond and Was Unable to Get His
Brothers Remains.

The bodies of w. H. Thompson and e.
A. Whitaker, Jr, the two Raleigh men
killed in the c. & o. wreck, near Lynch
burg last Sunday have not been recovered
They were lost in the river.
Mr.. Cornelius Thompson arrived in the
city Yesterday from Richmond, where ne
went expecting to meet the remains OF
his brother. He says that the railway
authorities are making a diligent search
to recover the bodies, but as yet have
been unsuccessful. They have gone down
the stream ere this far below the scene
of the sad accident.
Mr. Thompson went from Spencer &c
Richmond last Monday to arrange for the
shipment of the remains here. He says
that il the body is found the interment
will take place in the family burial plot
in this city.
Mr.. w. H. Thompson, who lost his life
in the wreck, was in Raleigh only two
weeks ago visiting his sister, Miss Row
ena Thompson and friends here. His
many friends recall the fact that he was
unusually bright and cheerful
The four lives lost in the wreck were
those of railroad officials who have
been working together for eighteen years
The accident was indeed sad one

MR. LITTLE ALL RIGHT.
His Attack Upon Mr.. Dodd, in BirmiD CHAM
the Result of Taking Narcotic.

To the Editor:-My attention has just
teen called to a press dispatch pub
lished in your issue of December 18th,
giving a somewhat sensational account
OF an unfortunate affair in which l was
involved las: week in Birmingham, Aid,
my present home. The affair to which
refer was my having unwittingly shot a
friend and client of mine, Mr.. W. L.. Dodd,
OF Birmingham. In justice to myself,
and for the information of my friends in
this State, many of wnom are among
your readers, and may have read tbs dis
patch referred to, permit me to make the
following statement:
Mr.. Dodd had, some days before the
affair referred to took place, retained
me as counsel in several cases pending
against him. About that time l was
arranging my affairs so as to corle to
my former home in this State to visit
my father, who has been in precafious
health AS / was somewhat familiar
with the affairs of the company out OF
which the cases against Mr.. Dodd grew,
he was anxious for me to remain and
represent him. and for about week
was with him pretty constaB lily, day
and night, our rooms being in the same
building Working on these cases and
worrying over the other matters that
| had to arrange before leaving Biz
mingham and over the condition Cf my
fathers health, brought on state of
insomnia and for two nights before the
unfortunate affair took place l had not
been able to sleep at all, and the night
before it occurred one of my intimate
I Cd lnCinU
good deal Of sleep and seeing that
was in somewhat nervous condition,
got me a narcotic something / have
never been accus toned to take). That
night on retiring, by mistake, as
learned afterwards, | took double dose
of the narcotic, and must have slept
very soundly until early the next morn
ing, when, from what l was told alter
wards, l seemed to have gotten up In q
state of rather strenuous somnambullsm
and 20 have gone into Mr.. Dodd's room
in that state. l, Of course, have no clear
recollection of the shooting. 1t was done
with Mr. Dcdds own pistol, which seems
to have been lying on his bureau or table
| am exceedingly glad to be able TO state
that the wound was only slight one I'D
the arm and not a dangerous one, as was
stated in the dispatch. Before closing
| must object to the inference raised
by the dispatch that ! was temporarily
non compos mentis; and | would ask any
of my friends who may have seen the
dispatch, and with whom | may meet
while in this State, not to run when they
see ne coming, but to waive Judgment
Until they have held converse with me,
and am sure that they will find that
am clothed and in my right mind
