outwardly a simple litigation. its
significance lies in its being the open
ing Of Charles w. Morses legal battle
for his financial rehabilitation. At the

New Haven road into the hands of the
federal government.
The suit directly charges the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company with violating the Sher-
man law in having conspired to wrest
control of the Metropolitan company
from Morse and with having wrecked
the company in order to eliminate IL as
a competitor in water and. rail trans

REVENGE WOULD BE SWEET.
no one who knows Charles w. Morse
win doubt that sweet would be his re-
venge If by proving the allegations Of
his sisters suit he can help convict the
owners Of the New Haven road of viola
tons Of the criminal provisions of the
sherman antitrust law. Neither do
they hesitate to conclude that Morse
will then press civil suits under the
provisions OF the Sherman act granting
to the injured party damages in amount
three times that actually sustained.

ONE KILLED AND
TWO WOUNDED IN
A FEUD BATTLE
Georgia Mill Hands Fight a
Pitched Battle With Auto
matte ShOtgunS at King
Mill Near Sycamore
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)

AOpeCAdA DASpdbCn 10 Inc
CORDELE, Ca, Dec. IA bloody bat
tie which resulted in the death OF John
Christmas late this afternoon at King
Mil, near Sycamore, in Turner county.
and the serious wounding of Jim Christ
mas. and a man named Ward, was
fought between the employees of the mill
and the Christmas faction.
The trouble grew out of a horse
whipping administered to G. r. Christ
mas last Saturday night by the mill
operatives, for some minor offense. 1t
is reported that after the horsewhip-
ping the clothes of Christmas were
burned and he was otherwise roughly
handled by the mill employees. The news
of the whipping reached Christmas rel
'atives. and friends at Vienna, in Dooly
county. and they went to the mill this
afternoon to settle the differences
The mill employees. expecting the ar
rival of the Christmas boys. armed
themselves with automatic guns and
when the latter reached the mill the
quarrel became so heated between the
two factions that older heads attempted
to intervene in efforts to prevent blood
shed. Their efforts were fruitless. how
ever.
There were several eyewitnesses to
the. shooting, but no one can say who
fired the shots that killed Christmas and
wounded his brother. Jim, and Ward.
1t is understood THAT a man named
Brown and one by the name of Little,
took part on the side of the mill en-
ployes. 1t is understood further that
efforts were made to adjust the trouble
amicably this morning when the Christ
mas boys offered to drop the dispute If
the mill employees would pay for the
burned clothing and other effects OF @.
R. Christmas who seems to have suf-
fered severe beating. tE
The body of Christmas was sent to
Vienna tonight for burial tomorrow. 1t
is not know whether any others of the
parties engaged were fatally wounded.
