WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 25-
The Department of Justice has given
District Attorney Erwin in Atlanta
n free hand to deal with the strike
situation, rs far as the delivery OF
mail Is concerned. This action was
brought about by the strike on the
Georgia railroad reports received,
indicating that there is lack OF
mail facilities which is proving
source of great inconvenience and
loss to business men and others
along the line. Following the ordi-
nary course 1t will be the duty of
the district attorney to apply imme-
diately to the federal court in At
lanta for an order restraining the
strikers from interfering with the
mail through stoppage of traffic over
the Georgia railroad. Should there
be any signs on the part of the
strikers or sympathizers to resist
this order, deputy marshals will be
appointed to accompany trains and
see that the law is enforced. In
the event deputy marshals cannot
carry out the courts orders, re-
course will be had to services of the
United States troops to open up the
lines.

ROME, May 17.-Andrew Carnegie was
received in audience by King Victor EN-
manuel today. He was presented by Sena-

the illness of the duke.

WASHINGTON, May 1L-The case Of
Elizabeth Peck against the Chicago Tribune
Company, involving a charge of libel by
Mrs. Peck because OF the publication Of
her portrait as part of an advertisement
endorsing a certain brand of whisky, was

name, that of a nurse, and she was quoted
in strong endorsement OF whisky.
The case was originally tried in the United

a verdict for the newspaper company. That
verdict was affirmed by the court of APP
