SUIT AGAINST POWER
COMPANY BY UNDID
Members of the Company De
clare That his Suit is an
Effort at “Holdup.”
Atlanta, Ga., March 21.—The of.
fleers of the Georgia Fallway & Pow
er Company declare that they are
not In the least perturbsd over the
eult Died In the United States court
by Louis B. Mngld.
Magld'i suit has been character
ised by officers of tbs power com
pany as "a hold-up that failed," and
Jack J. Spalding and Forreet' Adair
have explained that the merger was
hurried through to prevent this
Identical "hold-up."
Representatives of the Power
company make the following state
ment with regard to Magld, and hla
motives for' filing the suit:
'Magld sold out hla properties at
Talullah Falla to the Oeorgla Power
company for a large sum; and st
the same time contracted In writing
to extend hla good will and eo-opera-
tlon. It la therefore plain that the
bringing of this suit now puts him
In a very bad light
When the petition for the mer
ger was pending before the railroad
commission, Magld called on the
chairman and urged that the'com’
mission grant; the petition and al
low the capitalisation-of the various
companies. It Is a little hard to
reconcile this act with that part of
hla suit In which be . swears, tbat

Randolph Hesrst la expected to ar

ward to with a great deal of In
terest. This interest Is awakened
not merely because Mr Hearat recent,

especially because of the part he Is
taking In national democratic poli
tics.
It Is believed by many that Mr.

as by a wish to see his ne.w pur
