NEW PENAL LAWS
NEEDED, SAYS
PATTERSON
Member of Prison Commission
Favors Investigation and Re-
vision of System.

Indication that the proposal to ap-
point a legislative commission to
make a thorough investigation Of the
penal system of Georgia will have the
Endorsement and approval of the Pris-
on Commission itself is apparent from
an interview from Judge T. E. Pat
terson. of Griffin, well-known mem
Der of the Prison Board
It is not designed that this COM
mission shall investigate any particu-
lar camp or camps, nor officials and
employees, hut the system itself and
criminal court procedure. The pur-
pose is to go into the principles con-
trolling the system, find out where
they are at fault and propose reme-
dies.
There is no question il my mind
but that such a commission should be
appointed, and. if appointed, | think
there are possibilities in it for great
good" said Judge Patterson.
System Far From Perfect.
"Of course. while we are seeking to
conduct the penitentiaTy system in
the best possible manner under pres
tIlN AdNSs we ltdIALt at lEciSA 4 w
that the system is far from perfect
1t has its good points, but it also has
its defects, and | am confident that
a properly constituted commission,
given sufficient authority in the mat
ter Of securing evidence and informa-
ton, could point out these defects
and suggest the most efficient reme-
dies, possibly in the shape of amend
ments to the present law or, where
necessary, supplementary laws which
would commend themselves to the
Legislature and the public.
so far as the commission is con-
cerned, I feel sure it would be glad
to see such an investigation Of the
system made, and / would take pleas
ure in lending such commission all
the assistance in my power.
Along the same line I might say
that the proposal to confer upon the
judges of courts discretionary powers
in the matter Of suspending sentence
meets my approval There are I'M
doubtedly many cases before the
courts in which the interests of JUS
tiCe would be best conserved by this
course, and in which first offenders
might be saved from lives Of crime"
To Study Other Systems.
II is expected that the resolution
providing for the creation of the leg
islative commission to investigate
Georgia's penitentiary system will be
introduced early in the coming ses-
sion, and it will have behind IL the
support and influence of a number Of
leading members.
II is contemplated that the commits
sion shall have the right to summon
witnesses and also that it shall make
thorough investigation of the penal
systems of other States, Culling from
them the best features to he embodied
in its report to the Legislature with
recommendations as to adoption
The resolution win provide also for
the reference direct TO this commit
tee of an measures presented for the
consideration of the Legislature pro-
posing prison and criminal court re-
forms.

Morgan Planned
Papal Monopoly

Special Gable 70 The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN, June 81 Pierpont Nor
gan was in Rome at the time of his
death in answer to a request from
Pope Plus that the American banker
readjust and consolidate the gigantic
financial interests of the Roman
Church, according to a statement
made to-day by a close friend of the
Morgan family who is visiting here.
According to this friend Mr.. Nor
gan Immediately realized the posi-
bilities of such a project and felt
highly complimented that he should
be asked to plan the carrying out Of
this consolidation and, toward the
last. looked to the completion of the
task as a means of browning his ca
reer as a worldwide finanCier.
1t is believed that he would have
followed the general scheme Of con-
solidation as used in the Standard Oil
or Steel Corporation as a model. The
entire proposition probably viii be
dropped unless the younger Morgan
undertakes to carry out the task as
signed his father.

NAVAL STORES
MEN WIN OUT IN
HIGH COURT
Jail Sentences and Fines Imposed
on Officials Under Antitrust
Law Reversed.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The de-
cision of the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals for Florida, impos-
ing a Jail sentence upon two of the
officials of the American Naval Stores
Company and fines upon others under
the criminal section of the Sherman
antitrust law, was reversed to-day
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The officials are: Spencer P. Shot
ter, of Savannah, chairman of the
board of directors. who was fined
So and sentenced to three months
in Jail, and j. F. Cooper Meyers, vice
president. who was fined $500 and
sentenced to three months in Jail.
The Supreme Court held that the
criminal section of the antitrust law,
upheld in earlier decisions. can be
nullfied in this case on the ground
that IL was not specific. The action of
the lower court overruling the de-
murrers was upheld, but the decision
in the case was reversed on the ground
that the conspiracy had not been
proved.
The case was the first TO test be-
fore the Supreme Court the effective
ness of the criminal sections of the
antitrust law, Jail sentences being
imposed by the lower court in the
case of two Of the convicted officials.
The Government obtained the in
dictment Of the officers of the Ameri-
can Naval Stores Company involved
on two counts-conspiracy to restrain
interstate trade and commerce, and
conspiracy to monopolize interstate
trade

Carriage and two Autos
in CrnRh

In collision on the Revere Beach
parkway, near the Everett Chelsea line,
in which two automobiles figured, Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Goldstein of 274 Spruce
street, Chelsea, were badly injured and
the carriage in which they were riding
demolished.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goldstein were found
moaning on the roadside by j. R. Ben
ton, son of Col Everett c. Benton, and
his party, who were returning to Chelsea
from big rally in Lincoln Hall, NAL
den. The injured man and woman were
taken into the car, which is owned by
Col. Benton, and hurried to the hospital.
The other occupants of Benton's car
were j. William DeCrumbe, secretary
of Mr.. Benton's campaign; Harry w.
James, city solicitor of Chelsea, and
Attys. David L. Lourie and Maurice
Tobey of Chelsea.
The Benton party came along about
1918. They saw a carriage turned up
side down on the side of the road and
the horse running away in the direction
of Everett. They found Mr. and Mrs.
Goldstein groaning by the side of the
road. The rail fence at the edge of an
embankment at the side of the road was
broken for about ten feet and an auto
mobile, owned and operated by Silas E.
Stuart of 10 Tesla street, Mattapan,
was in the field about ten feet below.
There were three women and child in
the car and they were unhurt The
fact that the car did not overturn prob
ably saved them from serious injury
The automobile owned and operated
by L. F. kornfeld of 81 Naples road,
Brookline, who is milliner with place
of Business on Summer street, Boston,
was also in the collision.
