 Those filing the suits are Miss Caro- lyn Young, Mrs. Margaret Privett and Miss Lilly French, by her next friend, L. French, each suit being for s10,0o0.

Suit was filed against the companies for s50,000 by Mrs. Tal- madge's minor child and verdict was secured for s27500 at the November term of the circuit court here.

 The report declares that this photo graph appeared in many newspapers and was variously declared as "a picture from the Kerry front and "an illus tration of the battle of Tralee."
 What we wish emphaszed,' says the report, lis that this photograph purports to have been taken in southwestern Ire land"
 Attention then is called to p-oto- graph showing a junction of two roads outside of Dublin city. The report adds:
 Tt is this exact scene. with tile addl-
 tion of the people referred to above,
 which has appeared as a picture of the
 battle of Tralee. There is no such scene
 in the vicinity of the battle ground. We do not know who arranged for the talk inG of the photograph outside Dublin. but can understand that its publication would give an air of verisimilitude to the story of an encounter as described by Sir Hamar Greenwood (chief secretary for Ireland).
 With reference to the attempted vic
 timization of a witness by the commits sion, the report says;
 About o'clock in the morning fol- lowing the publication of the evidence m the newspapers we are informed from a trustworthy source that number or armed men burst into the house where the witness lived Fortunately for him,
 he was not there; but the men damaged the furniture and other effects in the house, and on leaving. one of them said, | Tell him we will get him, and when we do we will guarantee that he VIII give <, no more evidence. We will make clean | job the next time.'"
 This scandalous incident the report adds. illustrates the peril of giving evi- dence on the doings of the armed forces | of the crown. We regret that an at | tempt should have been made to VIC timize a witness, whose only offense wa: that he told the commission of his ex lperience with agents of the British gov ernment."
