'iSM ttfj Washington, Jan. 28.--The admlnia- ibration's trust bills, embodying the program laid down by the president in his recnt message, have been present­ ed to congress. The bills have received the approval Of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic leaders of both houses of confess. With little modification they will be ^. .|gp«ted into law. Their purposes are: > i-i; 1. Definition o£ unlawful monop- I; • ^ of restraints of trade. # 2. Prohibition of unfair trade ' VX'j|>ractlce. Jpf-r", 3. Creation of an interstate A?:-* 'trade com mission. . 4.

Unlawful monopoly is defined as any combination or' agreement be- |pf' - tween corporations, firms, or persona ?*;>*•'. designed for the following purposes: 1- To create or carry out re- ; •; jttrictions in trade or to acquire a fe,J.'- Monopoly in any interstate trade, ft-. " business, or commerce. It- \ 2. To limit or reduce the pro- '"4,'.,^;; Auction or increase the price of Jmerchandise or of any commodity. - 3 . To prevent competition in ^pianufacturing, making, transport- • *• -f %ig, selling, or purchasing of mer- i: r ehandise, produce, or any com- r- *odit5'- }- v, A'., ' 4. To make any agreement, en- MV'Vl;'^1l6n Into any arrangement, or ar- \ • • ttre at any understanding by K vjV • vhich they, directly or indirectly, Undertake to prevent a free and % * Unrestricted competition among '• themselves or among any pur- ; Teasers or consumers in the sale, production, or transportation of toy product, article, or commod­ ity. The penalty for violation of the law to fixed .at not more than $5,000 or im­ prisonment for one year or both. Guilt is made personal through a section that whenever a corporation •hall be guilty of the violation of the law the offense shall be deemed to cover the individual directors, officers, «nd agents of such corporation, aa authorizing, ordering, or doing the prohibited acts, and they shall be pun­ ished aa prescribed above. A paragraph prohibiting holding companion is to be added to tkte meas­ ure. Cover* Unfair Trade Practices. The bill forbidding unfair trade practices declares that to discriminate in price, between different purchasers of commodities, with the purpose or Intent to injure or destroy a competi­ tor, either of the purchase? or of the seller, shall be deemed an attempt to monopolize interstate; commerce. It is specifically declared that the law la not Intended to prevent dis­ crimination in price between purchas­ ers of commodities "on account of difference in the grade, quality, or quantity of the commodity sold, or that makes only due allowance for difference In the cost of transporta­ tion." Further, u U prescribed that noth­ ing contained in the act shall prevent parsons from selecting their own cus­ tomers, "but this provision shall not authorise the owner or operator of any mine engaged in selling its prod- not in interstate or foreign commerce to refuse arbitrarily to sell the same to a responsible person, firm, or cor- r poration, who applies to purchase," An attempt at monopoly also is de- dared to exist for any person to make * sale of goods, wares, or merchandise or fix a price charged therefor, or dis­ count from or rebate upon such price, on the condition or understanding that the purchaser thereof shall no£ d«al in the goods, wares, or merchan­ dise of a competitor or competitors of the seller. |;t ^Sfajs Wjth Damage Suits. |v A judgment against any defendant In a suit brought uijiaei* the anti-trust law the bill provides shall constitute as against such defendant conclusive .evidence of the same facts and be conclusive as to the same issues of law in favor of any other party in any other proceeding brought under and Involving the provisions of the law. For the benefit of parties Injured in tiieir business or property, by any per­ son or corporation found guilty of vio­ lating the law the statute Of. Jimita- tions applicable to such cases shall be , «spended. Injunctive relief is accorded against threatened loss or damage by a viola­ tion of the act under the Bame condi­ tions and principles that injunctive re­ lief against threatened conduct which * *111 cause loss or damage is granted courts of equity. It is required that a proper bond Shall be executed against damages for .an injunction improvidently granted, and it must be shown that the danger >>w. of irreparable loss or damage is im­ mediate. Hits Interlocking Directorates.. fectlve two years from date of ap> prpval of the act, provides : "No person engaged as an individ­ ual or as a member of a partnership or as a director or other officer of a corporation in the business of selling railroad cars or locomotives, or rail­ road rails or structural steel, or min­ ing or selling coal, or conducting a bank or trust company, shall act aa a director or other officer or employe of any railroad or other public service cojrporatiuu which conducts an inter* state business. "No persou shall at the same time be a director or other officer or em­ ploye in two or more federal reserve banks, national banks, or banking as­ sociations, or other banks or trust companies which are members of any reserve bank; and a private banker and a pereon who is a director in any state bank or trust company not oper­ ating under the provisions of the re­ cent currency law shall not be eligible to serve as a director in any bank or banking association or trust company operating under the provisions of the law." Violation of these sections la made punishable by a fine of $100 a day, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both. if any two or more corporations have common director or directors, the fact shall be conclusive evidence that there exists a real competition between such corporation and such elimination of competition shall be construed as a restraint of interstate trade and be treated accordingly. The trade commission bill provides for oommission of five members, with the commissioner of corporations as chairman, and transfers all the exist­ ing powers of the bureau of corpora­ tions to the commission. The principal and most Important duty the commission besides conduct­ ing investigations will be to aid the courts when requested in the forma­ tion of decrees of dissolution. With this in view, the bill empow­ ers he court to refer any part of pend­ ing litigation to the commission, in­ cluding the proposed decree, for lpfor- mation and advice. Much Criticism for Billa. The trust bills as framed will be the subject of sharp criticism on the part of progressives of all parties who claim they do not go far enough. It will be declared that the definition of monopoly remains inadequate that the prohibition of unfair trade practice does not cover this evil in our econ­ omic life that interlocking stook con­ trol is not covered and that the pow- ers of the proposed trade commission are insufficient It is interesting to note that the proposal to place the burden of proof upon a combination believed to, be vio­ lating the law has been omitted. No« attempt is made to prevent or destroy monopoly based on patents. The great­ est difficulty exerienced in the-effect­ ive enforcement of the law has been found to be in the unwillingness of the courts to impose jail penalty. It remains optional under the proposed measures wiht the courts to ;or imprison. 1 < Trade Board May Disappoint. In' connection with the trade com­ mission President Wilson declared in his message that the country "de­ mands such a commission only as an indispensable instrument of informa­ tion and publicity as a clearing house for facts by which both the pub­ lic mind, and the managers of great business undertakings should be guided." The bill prescribes that the commis­ sion acts are to constitute a "public record" but the body is authorized to make public the information "in such form and to such extent as may be necessary" or "by direction of the attorney general.** v" It is apparent that the public miffd cannot be guided unless it has the facts, and then it will not get unless the commission or the attorney gen­ eral deems it politic. In other words, public hearings will not be held as they are held by the interstate commerce commission. Settlement of Differences. The most important feature of the bill is that which legalizes the policy of the administration of terminating an unlawful condition by agreement between th% combination attacked and the attorney general. This feature Is comprehended under a section which requires the commis­ sion, upon the request of the attorney general or any corporation affected, to investigate whether a combination is violating the law. ID case the com­ mission should find the violation to exist it must report to the attorney general statement of the objection­ able acts and transactions and the readjustments necessary for the of­ fending combination to conform to the law. These conclusions are to be "ad­ visory to the attorney general in ter­ minating by agreement with the cor­ poration affected or by suing the said unlawful conduct or condition." In other words, whatever may be the agreement made by the attorney general with the combination investi­ gated, it will give the reorganized combination legal standing, so long as it conforms to the term of the agree­ ment. Thus it is proposed to place by law a tremendous power In the hands of the attorney, general. This power has been assumed to attorneys general, and particularly so by Mr. M$Rey- nolds; Will Giv* Court* Advice. In a statement accompanying the bill made by Congressman Clayton, chairman of the house judiciary com­ mittee, it is said that the "principal and most important duty of the com- missloK besides^cOnductlng Investiga­ tions, will be to aid the courts, when IN A EUROPEAN TRAGEDY - v - ' W•,?*& K / t lyy'-viv-rrtnir liSJIUS TO REBELS WILSON DISCUSSES MEXicAif PROBLEM WITH SENATE BODY ; >OLF FOREIGN RELATION^ :: ik ready to Intervene President and Committee Confer Important Problems Until Mid- Drastic Action 'Pf«8g£« 'Heved Near. ; ' « .( . i-Wy on London and Paris wera greatly wrought np recently when, In the letter city, Henry Fragson, a vaudeville actor, popular in England and France, was murdered by his father.

Washington, Jan. 27.--The senate on Saturday passed the Alaska railway bill directing the president to purchase or construct 1*006 miles of railroad in Alaska at a cost not exceeding $40,000,- 000. The house lias a similar bill pend­ ing. The vote was 46 to 16. Fifteen Republicans and Senator Polndexter, Progressive, voted for the bill. Senators Bacon, Hoke Smith and Williams, Democrats, voted against it. The bill places upon the president responsibility for the selection of the route from tidewater to the interior of Alaska and the construction, equip­ ment and operation or leasing of such lines as he may construct or buy to constitute this route. The broadest powers are conferred upon the presi­ dent in carrying out his dutleB. The bill provides for a redemption fund into which shall be paid 75 per cent, of all moneys derived from the sale of public lai^de in Alaska, or of the coal or mineral contents thereof. Machinery utilised in the construction of the Panama canal Is made available for the construction work. Unavailing efforts to reduce the $40,- 000,000 appropriation authorised for the work were made during the ^los­ ing hours of the debate. Senator Hoke Smith sought to have the approprla tlon reduced to $25,000,000 and 8enator Smoot to $36,000,000. With the consent of the territorial committee the bill was amended be­ fore passage to require (the senate's approval of the appointment of civil engineers receiving over $8,000 per annum, to forbid any payment for the good will of existing railways, giving Injured employes the right to sue the government and limiting the govern­ ment's defenses to those provided for in the federal employers' liability law of 1908.

Jackson, Mich., Jan. 27.--The last of the twenty Injured persons were re­ moved from the wreckage of the Michigan Central train which collided with a freight train three miles out­ side of Jackson, early Monday.

Washington, Jan. 28.--It is apparent that the Mexican situation" is critical In the extreme. President Wilson had the members of the senate foreign re­ lations committee with him for three hours on Monday and, while various matters bearing on our international relations were discussed, the Mexican problem was the main thing. ' Some of the committeemen declared that they expect the president will within the next few days take action toward raising the embargo on arms so that the constitutionalists and other rebels who for the last several months have been deprived of the opportunity of obtaining arms in this country may obtain the weapon^ and munitions they need. The president, it is said, believes that the time has come to let down the bars and to permit the con­ stitutionalists to obtain all the arms and ammunition they require. Secrecy was enjoined upon all those present at the conference by the presi­ dent, and it was understood when the conference broke up shortly before midnight that anything to be said would be said by the president him­ self. The president said nothing, how­ ever, that gave any clue to the situa­ tion respecting; our relations with the Republic south of the Rio Grande. The (attitude of the conferees as here stated is most significant. It in­ dicates that matters are certainly ap­ proaching a crisis--if the crisis al­ ready has not been reached--and im­ portant developments may be expect­ ed at any moment. One senator, on leaving the oonference, said: "I would like to tell you a great deal, but I feel that the patriotic duty I owe to the Amreican people is not to say any­ thing. If anything is to be said, the president is the one to say it." Conditions in Mexico for some weeks have been almost intolerable and, al­ though pressure has been brought- to bear on the president from foreign as well as domestic sources to intervene for the protection of lives and proper­ ty of Americans and- other 'foreigners, jtljye president has insisted that it was a duty of this country to keep hands off the internal situation in Mexico un­ til it is absolutely certain that inter­ vention by the United States is the only method of solving the problem. While the foreign governments and financial and commercial influences have been anxious to bring about the restoration of order in Mexico, they have been willing to awaitf definite action by the United States and have rbfrained from taking independent ac­ tion. The Huerta administration has been In dire straits for the last several weeks with no prospect of any im­ provement. Practically the only part of the country where he holds undis­ puted control is in the City of Mexico and the surrounding district His armies in the north have been defeat­ ed and many federal soldiers have been driven across the international border into Texas. Practically the en­ tire tier of states along the northern border are independent of control from Mexico City. Outlawry and brigand­ age prevail in the rural districts. In addition the economic conditions are bad and the people are bordering on starvation due to the repeated rav­ aging of the rural districts by tne suc­ cessive revolutionary movements of the last few years. In Mexico City the foreign residents are not sure of their safety. With this condition confronting the administration practically every mili­ tary precaution preliminary to inter­ vention ha& been taken. For the last several days there has been a strong belief in official circles that "something was going to drop" in regard to Mexico. The White House conference and the secrecy imposed by the president upon the members of the senate committee after their departure tended to strengthen the belief that some important action by this govern­ ment is in almost immediate prospect Among the other diplomatic subjects discussed at the conference was the ratification of the limited arbitration treaties with Great Britain, Japan, Italy and Portugal,/whiph ^has been pending in the senate foreign relations committee for several months. The president urged their prompt approval upon the members of the committee. The controversy with Colombia, aris­ ing out of the secession of Panama in 1903, wae taken up for a short time and the committee members were in­ formed that all details of the propose# agreement for the settlement of the qustion had been arranged except the amount of the indemnity to be paid by this government. - - " Train Kills Man and WomlfR^a..

NO TRUE BILL IN M0YER CASE Michigan Grand Jurors Consider Chief­ ly Question of Attack on M)n*r*' Chief--MacNaughton Named. Houghton, Mich., Jan. 26.--A **no: true bill" was reported on Saturday by the special grand jury which has been Investigating the alleged kidnap­ ing and forcible deportation of Charles H. Moyer and James Tanner, officials of the Western Federation of Miners, on the night of December 26. Mr. Nichols, special prosecutor, said jhe had explained to the jury that, In his opinion, the statute on kidnaping did not apply to the deportation of Mr. Moyer and Mr. Tanner because the union men were not forcibly sent out of the state, but were left to take their own course this side of the state line, and because there could be no possible claim that there was any Intent to con­ fine them against their will within the state or hold them In service out­ side the state! Twenty-seven witnesses were ex­ amined in the Moyer case and the jury deliberated" over it"~lor two days.

Take the case of that of a New York man who is demanding the dissolution of the marriage tie because his wife pat soap in his soup. He has added some­ what to the literature of divorce. And he has revealed a new form of cruelty. Soap as an article of diet is not to be highly regarded. By most persons it is considered not only offensive, but dangerous. And, what is more, the average man probably feels that he eats enough soap in the barber shop to satisfy his needs. Any added by his wife is likely to be regarded as su­ perfluous and to arouse a peevish]^*** that may not easily be stilled. >iC?! .'1 t hi»'• FRIENDLY TIP, Restored Hope and Confldaooe.
