TRADE COMMISSION
ACT CLOSELY STUDIED
Activities Of Department Of JUS
tiCe viii Not Be CurtaiIed.

Washington, March 20. - Attorney
General Gregory and his advisors in
the department of justice have been
engaged in an examination of the
trade commission law with view of
determining the extent to which the
activities of the department will be
curtailed by those of the new commits
sion.
AS a result of this study of the new
law, the department of Justice will
take the stand that its activities are
not to be curtailed to any appreciable
extent, but that the chief work of the
commission, as fer as the enforce
ment of the laws is concerned, lies in
the classes of cases not covered by
the old Sherman law, but still within
the scope of the unfair" trade prac-
tice provisions of tne Clayton act.
In other words, the department re-
CARDS itself as fully responsible for
the enforcement Of the provisions OF
the Sherman law against the forma.
ton Of combinations to monopoiize
Interstate commerce, while 1t believes
the trade commission will have espe-
cial Jurisdiction over alleged Illegal
operations Of smaller range and which
can not be regarded as contemplating
monopoly. Official assurances were
given that the department Will SLOW
the fullest spirit of cooperation with
the commission and will seek its as
sistance wherever 1t is considered
proper to do so under the provisions
of the law.

GEORGE H. SMITH
SHOT BY PHILLIPS
LIVED IN AMERICUS

An Americus end to the recent ter
rible carnival of murder in Brunswick
wherein Monroe Phillips, white man,
ran amuck and shot to death six citi-
zens of the town and wounded thirty
others, is furnished in the shooting
seriously of George H. Smith, a promi-
nent young man of Brunswick and for
mer resident of Americus, where he
is still remembered by many friends.
Mr. Smith resided here quite awhile
and has since been a visitor in Ameri-
Gus. He is at present cashier of one
of the Brunwick banks.
The seventh victim of Phillips MUIR
der carnival died yesterday and the
condition of several others is said to
be precarious.
All of the murdered men were we'll
known and a scene of general confu-
sion and bewilderment followed the
shooting. Those who were seriously
wounded were rushed to the city hos
pital. Every physician in the city
was summoned there, and every ward
in fhe hip huildinp had one Or more
patients within its gloomy confines.
Of Monroe Phillips it is said that he
was a man of 'ill-temper-overbea caring
in his manner, did not make friends
easily, was morose and ugly in his
disposition and suffered from many
imaginary wrongs-had threatened the
lives of half a dozen Brunswick citi-
zens.'
