was Justice George A. Cooke, recent

saying that he had about as much
right to talk of such things as a

regulations for raising children. But
nevertheless, he pointed ont many pos

doubt they will be embodied in the

. CASE WHERE
c. ". MORSE
WAS THE GOAT
IN THE ROW BETWEEN WARDEN
OF PENITENTIARY AND EDITOR
sEELEY, THE NEW YORK
BANKER THE ONLY ONE TO
SUFFER.
Special to The Journal

Atlanta, Jan. Slot roasts were
handed to three prominent men in the
Charles w. Morse investigation at the
federal prison. People are wondering
which of the three has been harmed.
Morse got his from the prison
warden and the records, which showed
that he had violated prison rules by
getting hold of contraband money, and
that he had tried to give the warden
81, 600 of it, presumably as bride.
Warden William M. Meyer got his
from Editor E. L. Seeley, who was on
the spot at the hearing. He accused
Meyer of treating Morse in the most
reprehensible and unfair way, after
the incident of the $1,000, in some way
got to the department of justice. Mr..
Seely practically called Mr.. Meyers
veracity into question on a number of
points, and charged the warden with
sending out reports prejudicial to
Morse.
Editor f. L. Steel got his. Warden
Meyer said fatty that the things pub
Iished in Mr.. Seeley's paper about
Morse's severe punishment were. un-
true, and that IL any more such things
were printed he would hold Mr.. Seely
personally responsible for it.. Mr..
Meyer also said, without attempting
to veil the meaning under his words.
that he thought Mr.. Seely would have
mighty hard time to convince the
public that his interests in Morse were
entirely unselfish.
So there you are. Three men roast
ed. Which will it hurt most? That is
the question people here are asking.
It is answered in various ways. Mr..
SeeIy is a newspaper editor. He lie
sure to get "cussed' sometimes. All
editors are. 1t probably won't make
much difference to him. Warden
Meyer is not dependent on public
opinion for his job. His fate is in the
hands of the department OF justice,
and the investigation didn't bring out
anything that the department of JUS
tice did not already know. It is as
sumed that the investigation and in
! formation given out by Meyer were
with the knowledge and consent OF
1 that very department os he won't be
hurt. it is argued.
That leaves Charles w. Morse. And
| the pretty definite opinion here is that
Morse is the goat Public sympathy
has been one Of Morse's strongest
cards. 1t is assumed that the feeling
of the American public is bound to
have some weight with a president
who will shortly stand before the pub
! lie as a candidate. The story that
Morse manipulated the stocks, at least
once and had his hand on Wall street
stretched through the prison bars, has
gone all over the United States. With
it has gone the statement showing
that he was never punished at the
federal prison as severely as synpa-
| thizing reports had said.

the goat of this wrangle." said At

a demand for a so cent rate might be
reasonable on road direct to Chat
tanooga 1t would not be so on the
Louisville & Nashville. and connecting
lines. Furthermore, the commission
held that &c reduce the rate to so
cents, might make inequitable certain
rates from Memphis to Chattanooga
and to Atlanta. Birmingham, Mont
gomery and other southern cities. The
Cincinnati shippers made an unsuc-
cessful attempt in the Commerce court
to have the seventy cent rate declared
unjust and unreasonable.
Whether a loophole really exists in
the immigration laws such as would
allow steamship companies to shift
the responsibility for bringing In ina
migrants of the excluded classes, will
be argued hefore the court A New
York court held that while the pur-
pose of congress seemingly was to
make the steamship companies pay
the costs of returning such immigrants
as are denied entrance there was
nothing in the law to prevent the COM
panieS from circumventing the law by
requiring these immigrants to put up
security I'm foreign ports to cover the
cost of returning them IL rejected.
Another question will be whether a
special rate on coal may be given rail-
roads. Still other cases involving con-
fiicts Of Jurisdiction between the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
the Commerce court will be heard.

ment from Mr. Rockefeller on . sub

The building is already far under
way, and by March it is hoped that
it win be ready for occupancy.
In addition to this important Inn
provement, the Tech has purchased
three acres of land, adjoining the
north end of the campus. The land
came at a bargain. and will give the
Tech additional ground space Of which
it was very much in need. There are
now some 700 students enrolled at the

A COMMERCE
WEEK TO NOW
Be OBSERVED
PRACTICALLY EVERY CASE TO
BE ARGUED BEFORE SUPREME
COURT DURING WEEK, ARE RE-
LATED RAILROADS OR STEAM
SHIP TRAFFIC.
Special to The Journal

Washington, Jan. 6.-'International
Commerce week will be observed in
the supreme court OF the United States
beginning Monday. Practically all Of
the questions to be argued that week
are connected with railroad or steam
ship trafac.
The first case to be considered In
wolves whether shippers may be in
dicted for accepting rebates unless 1t
is shown that the railroad concerned
had posted the regular rates at the
railroad station at point Of origin. II
was held by Judge Speer, of Georgia,
that the posting OF the regular rates
in the community In which the ship
per lived was such an important
means of information that the shipper
could not be indicted, unless 1t was
alleged the rates had been posted.
This ruling occurred in the indict-
ments Of Harvey C. Miller and Nor
ris F. Miller. Of Philadelphia, on
charges Of accepting concessions for
shipments over the Merchants &
Miners transportation Co.. Jointly
with the Seaboard Air Line and with
the Atlantic Coast Line.
Another case is the quarter century
fight OF Cincinnati shippers for lower
rates to Chattanooga and the south.
In 1894 shippers induced the Interstate
Commerce Commission to order a
sharp reduction Of rates over the Gin
cinnati. New Orleans and Texas Pa
ciflc road from Cincinnati to Chatta-
nooga. Courts held that the commits
sion could not fix a future rate. Later
when this power was conferred upon
the commission reduced flrst-class
rates to 70 cents. and held that while

may do through the use of Mother s

long in use, and accomplished so
much good, that it is In no sense an
