Morgan Planned
Papal Monopoly

Special Gable TO The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN. June al Pierpont Nor

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-
hilities 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 means of GROWING his ca
reer as a worldwide financier.
II is believed that he would have
followed the general scheme of con.
solidation as used in the Standard oil
or Steel Corporation as model. The
entire proposition probably will be
dropped unless the younger Morgan
undertakes to carry out the task as
signed his father.

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, a well known mem
Der of the Prison Board.
1t is not designed that this COM
mission shall investigate any particu-
lar camp or camps, nor officials and
employees, but 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 rene
dies.
There is no question il my mind
but that such a commission should be
appointed, and, if appointed, l think
there are possibilities in il for great
good" said Judge Patterson.
System Far From Perfect.
"Of course, while we are seeking to
conduct the penitentiary system in
the best possible manner under pres
ent laws, we realiZe-at least | do
that the system is far from perfect.
II has its good points, but it also has
its defects, and l 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 rene
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, | feel sure it would be glad
TO see such an investigation of the
system made, and ! would take pleas
ure in lending such a commission all
the assistance in my power.
"Along the same line ! might say
that the proposal to confer upon the
judges of courts discretionary powers
in the matter of suspendins 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 8"
To Study Other Systems.
It is expected that the resolution
providing for the creation of the leg
islative commission to investigate
1eoIBld ptulleuIldIE system VIII ne
introduced early in the coming ses-
sion, and it will have behind it 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 be embodied
in it's report to the Legislature with
recommendation as to adoption
The resolution will provide also for
the reference direct to this commit
tee of all measures presented for the
consideration of the Legislature pro-
posing prison and criminal court re-
forms.

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
anti-t trust 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
$1,000 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
nullifed in this case on the ground
that it 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.
