But & * J could not separate it. I do not un- f'<<~ derstand that the limitation was in- ||: tended a^ either an amendment or an Jnterperation of the anti-trust law, L|, but merely as an expression of the !£! \ ©pinion of the congress--a very em- phatic opinion backed by an over- , whelming majority of the house of representatives and a large majority ff\ Of the senate, but not intended to j^/ touch anything but the expenditure of a single small additional fund. , "I can assure the country that this m: Item will neither limit nor in any !•£>' way embarrass the actions of the fle- partment of Justice.

Currenoy 'illl.*';" X Washington, June fh-' formed his cabinet that he will sign the sundry civil appropriation bill carrying $116,000,000 and that he will Issue a statement giving his reasons for doing so. The Underwood tariff bill as amend­ ed by the senate finance committee was submitted to a caucus of the sen­ ate Democrats. This marks the last important stage of the bill before It is finally reported to the senate and made the target for Republican! at­ tacks. With large additions to the free list and drastic reductions In the metal schedule, the Underwood tariff bill as amended by the senate finance com­ mittee and reported to the Demo­ cratic caucus was made public here. The revenue producing qualities of the bill have been increased, however, lm the face of many reductions by a provision imposing a duty of five cents a bunch on bananas and remov­ ing from brandies used in fortifying American wines the large preferential heretofore given them. Wheat and flour have been retained on the free list subject to a fixed countervailing duty. The bill as re­ ported Is expected to produce five mil­ lion dollars more revenue than as passed by the house. The only mate­ rial Increase in duty was In the cot­ ton schedule. This, like the wool schedule, was reclassified to place slightly higher duties on highly manu­ factured products. As reported to the Democratic cau­ cus by the senate finance committee, beet and sugar cane machinery, aliza­ rin and colors obtained from anthrar cene have been'added to the free list.

Federal control of banking as pro­ vided in the new measure was criti­ cized especially and the different rates of Interest provided for the pro­ posed banking regions were attacked^ Senator Nelson, ranking minority member of the committee, said: "I believe many changes will have to be made before the publlo will sanction the new bill. "I thought they were going to give us something new," said Senator Bris- tow, "but they only have foisted off the old Vreeland measure with all its defects." "I think there are many things that will have to be changed In the meas­ ure," said Senator Weeks, "though I am heartily in favor of currency legis­ lation during the present session."
