Government Files Antitrust
Suit in New York.
EVIDENCE TO GRAND JURY
Attorney General VIII Seek indict
ments Against Officers and Dlrec-
tors Concerned In upbuiIdina OF
Alleged Unlawful Combination.

New York, July 24.-Ciyil suit to
force the separation of the New Ha.
ven railroad from its subsidiary rail,
trolley and steamship lines under the
Sherman antitrust act was filed in
the federal court here by Attorney
General McReynolds.
The suit has no actual connection
with the criminal indictments, which
the attorney general will ask fed
eral grand jury to return against New
Haven officers and directors concern.
ed in the upbuilding of the alleged
unlawful combination In restraint OF
trade.
T. w. Gregory, special assistant to
the attorney general, who wrote and
filed the brief, and F. M. Swacker. an
expert from the interstate commerce
commission, who has worked many
months on the case, are expected to
lay the evidence before the grand
jury here on which indictments will
be asked. II is understood that these
officials feel they have sufficient evil
dence to make prima facie case
against many New Haven officers and
directors.
May surpass All Suits.
Such action will mark the beginning
of what may prove to be the most i'm
portant criminal proceeding ever un-
dertaken under the Sherman anti.
trust act in the twenty-four years 1t
has been on the statute books. To
the civil suit the New Haven may not
offer any great defense, but govern
ment officials would be greatly sur
prised IL the attempt to convict di-
rectors and officers does not lead to q
big legal battle, which probably will
not end this side of the United States
supreme court.
The brief written by Mr.. Gregory
charges the New Haven with being an
unlawful monopoly. which controls
more than 80 per cent OF the rail
roads and trolley traffic of all New
England and more than 80 per cent
of the steamship transportation o1
that region. The court Is asked to
restore competition by ordering the
separation of the New Haven from
the Boston and Maine railroad. from
its sound and outside steamshiI
lines, and from its trolley system II

Suggests Naming Receiver.
The brief suggests that II the cour
deems best it appoint receiver t.
take over the property and bring !
In harmony with the law. and ask
for the customary general relief
the court finds II necessary.
The government alleges that tn
New Haven began its march toward
monopolization of the New Englan'
transportation In 1898, and that 1t
domination over five states Is nov
almost uncontested. The brief cal
ries with II an exhibit purporting L
be a copy of an agreement betwee
representatives of the New Have
and the Boston and Maine railroad
made on March 6, 1893, by whic
these roads divided New England bt
tween themselves. The agreemen
purports to have been made at tn
home OF the late ]. p. Morgan at
time when the two roads concerne
were entirely separate.

habit of doing, Governor Conner went into the
Federal Court at New Orleans and secured
quick dissolution of the order of His Honor
Mogul Jones.
This eOa8 IN 1909. Ever since then, the
State of Alabama has been enjoying the
benefit OF those reductions in freight rates
ordered by her R. R. Commission.
Now, it comes to pass that the great Port
rate Reformer, the Honorable Piedmont-bar-
room Smith became Governor of Georgia,
once again.
Under him were his appointees, Attorney
General [. S. Fielder and the Hon. James K
Hines, perpetual lawyer for our Railroad
Commission.
Readers of this paper will remember that
Judge Hines wrote me a brief breezy CHEEKY
letter, stating that the Hon. Solomon Smith,
again Governor and again in favor of Port
Rates, had ordered him and Fielder to imme-
dlately do in Georgia what Governor Conner
had done in Alabama
Judge Hines as good as told me Just to
walt few minutes and not to fret: he and
Fielder and Solomon Senior we're going to get
us those Port Rates and lower freights right
away.
So [ waited. The Hon Solomon Smith
intrigued and bought his way into the Sen
ate. Another Governor came upon the scene.
by the name Of Brown, great friend of
Shoot-to-KiEl Obear, the Bloody Bugler of
"Martial Law"
During the reign of Governor Brown. the
railroads continued to ignore the orders of
the K. T. Commission, just as they had done
under the great Solomon Smith.
Governor Slaton came once, and Governor
Slaton came t2c]ce, and vet the railroads con-
tlnue to refuse to obey the law about those
reductions in freight rates
The Railroad Commission is helpless.
Gouep'n0r Solomon Smith, robbed 1t Of the
H'o2ner to enforce its oacn orders.
Why did he do so?
The power to enforce the orders Of the r.
Il. Commission was transferred to the Gov
ernor.
Amd three governors haze f0i7ed to use it.
Three governors In succession have in
effect aided the corporations to evado 1oaccr
rates.
Three governors in succession have in effect
sad by actions that speak louder than Words
that the people of Georgia shall not have the
same benefits that Alabama enjoys.
GOV Conner was truly for the people. He
was truly in earnest in trying to enforce the
orders Of the Railroad Commission
But neither Governor Smith. nor Governor
Brown, nor Governor Slaton have done any,
thing whatever, so far as can be seen, to
enforce freight reductions ordered by oar
Commission seven gears Gq0.
What is the explanation Of this?
DO the corporations own us? Can they tie
the hands of our governors?
am waiting to hear further from Judge
Hines He is mighty slow in answering my
letters on this particular subject.
This is Dec. Goth, and he has not yet replied
to my letter of Dec. 10th. WHY?

Will This Roman Catholic Bishop
Please Explain? Bishop Kelly,
of Savannah, Georgia.

the Atlanta Constitution of May 2, 1913,
appeared news item from Savannah, Ca,
to the effect that Jerry NJ. Walsh had used
a stick on the head of Father F. X. Schade-
WE'LL Chancellor of the Roman Catholic do
cese of Bishop Kelly.
Mr. Walsh whose name would seem to
indicate a son of Erin and son-in-law of
Papa the Pope, landed heavily with said
stick upon the head of him, the said Father
Schadewell, infficting then and there upon
the Uranium of said Schadewell a grievOus
blow, which then and there felled Father
Schadewell to the floor.
Father Schadewell arose. as soon as he
could reasonably be expected to do so, and,
ably assisted by Father Mitchell, he grappled
with the son of Erin, and prevented a further
use of the said stick
This assault and battery upon Father
Sc5GdeoceU occurred at the residence Of
Bishop Kelly.
A mounted police officer took charge of
Walsh, and he was before the city recorder
next morning ready for trial
There 2O0S no c0Se made uqul7a8t him.
Father Schadewell did not appear That's
habit the Catholic priests have: they never
dO appear.
Unless, it is a case like that Of Hans
Schmidt the priest seducer and murderer,
where the police grab their man and hold on
to him.
My information is that claim was made
that Walsh is crazy. 1t is also claimed that
seducer and murderer Schmidt is crazy
Yet he tried to insure the trusting q53Z's
life for $4,000 before he cut her tAr0GfI
Walsh it is said was turned over to the
Ordinary Of Chatham county to be adiudged

lie ducked under, and has never been
identified Yet, | venture to say that all the
New York priests know that accessory to
murder
Has the Ordinary of Chatham county ever
tried Walsh for lunacy?
II seems not
Now let me ask Bishop Kelly few plain,
a. Wig did you ask the Savannah
reporters to keep that item out of the Savan-
nah papers?
(2) H010 were you able to suppress the
news, and hush up the scandal?

(3) What excuse did Walsh give the
ponce for gong into y0ur house and beating

l5) Why did Schadewell give out no
defense Of himself, and why was he afraid
to make a case against Walsh?

Walsh been dropped?

why Can't the People OF Georgia
Get the Benefit OF This Decision
of the u. S. Supreme Court?

Hon James X Hines,
DEAR SIR: Yours received, and it leaves
me somewhat puzzled.
AS | understand the facts, the R. r. Com
mission, SeVe1a gears ago, ordered a reduction
III freight rates, which the Railroads tempo
rarily enjoined
Afterwards, the U. S. Supreme Court, in
the Tennessee and New York cases, held that
the courts could not, and should not, grant
these restraining orders.
Whereupon, Gov Conner, of Alabama,
went before the Court some three years ago,
and moved the dissolution Of the restraining
order The order having been dissolved as
matter Of course, in consequence of the deci-
slons of the Supreme Court, the State of Ala
ba1na at once began to enjoy the benefit of
tie reduced rates
Now, why is it that in Georgia the matter
IS still pending before the lower Federal
Court?
If that court has no power to restrain, hoD
does 1t restraint
Why is it that our people have not received
the benefit Of the Supreme Court decision?
How it is that Governor Conner was so
much more efficient, in behalf of the people,
than Governors Smith, Brown and Slaton
have been?
You wrote me, more than tqO0 yenrs aq0.-
as L remember it-that you would proceed at
onoe-you and Attorney General Felder-to
have the temporary injunction dissolved, as
per Supreme Court decision.
You said that Gov Smith had instructed
you and Mr.. Fielder to do this, at once Your
letter to me conveyed the impression that YOU
and Mr.. Fielder would proceed, at once, to get
us those lower freight rates, ordered 6v the
Is. Is. Commission en- 1906.
Yet you now inform me vaguely that the
matter is pending before "the MASTER
Is there any master in the y. S. Courts
who can overrule the Supreme Court?
How is that decision of the highest court
hung up by the railroads before "a MASTER
The Alabama rates were not indefinitely
restrained by the devices of 'Ethe master"
our reply to my fair question: question
which deeply concerns the people, was
extremely brief and unsatisfactory You fail
to explain how the Railroads have been able
for four gears, to keep the people out Of their
rights, as laid down by the y. S. Supreme
Court
You fail to explain hoao the corporations
are able to continue to do, eoh0t the Supreme
Court held that they could not d.
Please explain that, Judge, SO that [ can

POWERS REACH AGREEMENT
UNITED STATES MUST ASSUME
CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS
IN MEXICO. ..
Free Hand for the United States So
Long as Lives and Property for
Foreigners Are Guarded.

Washington.-Fre conferences
between ambassadors and ministers
here are tending to unite them on a
line of conduct regarding Mexico,
which, while conforming to the plans
of the United States, involves an un-
derstanding as to obligations the
American government will be expect
ed to assume as the result Of non-in-
reference by foreign powers.
This common understanding has not
taken the form of direct pressure, but
the state department is kept informed
through the medium of individual rep
resentatives of the expectations of the
European powers. Generally these re-
late to the protection of financial in.
terests which citizens and subjects of
the powers have in Mexico. No inten.
ton to bring in the political side of
the question is indicated.
More than one diplomatic represent
alive here has informed the depart
ment that his own government was
interested in preventing financial loss
to its citizens, and beyond that did
not care what the United States did in
Mexico so long as it was informed in
time to take precautions for the pro-
lection of the lives of its citizens.

AMMUNITION.
of Army to Congressional
Committees.

Washington. that his
judgment was not influenced by the
Mexican situation, Major General
Wood, chief of staff of the army, has
advised committees of congress that
they should appropriate $3,0OO,0O0 for
field guns and ammunition
IF you sent our troops into war as
they are now, without guns or ammu-
milton, it would DO absolute slaugh-
ter" the general told the house mill
tary committee. IF called into the
field suddenly, we should have to 30
with small allowance of ammunition,
and we should have neither guns nor
ammunition enough for our field artil-
lery forces"
General Wood, in a written state
ment, said:
I'VE neither have guns nor ammuni-
ton sufficient to give any general COM
handing an army in the field any as
surance of success If attacked by an
army of equal size which is supplied
with its proper quota of field artil'
lery.
ut is my belief that no modern war
between first class powers will last
for one year, and unless private manu-
facturers are encouraged to manufac-
ture ammunition for our guns, after
war is declared, they will not be in a
condition to do so until after the war
Is finished.
"The war department believes after
extended study that, in cases of war
with a first class power, an army of
100000 men will be needed to give
this country any chance of success
against invasion, and that this force
will be needed at once"
The general suggested that the
United States regular mobile army
should be organized into three infan-
try and two cavalry divisions with
an aggregate war strength Of about
$4,000. requiring 81 batteries, or ZIG
guns.
