REPORT MADE PUBLIC
Attorney General Reviews His
tory of the Famous Oil and
Tobacco Trust Cases. *
Wi.Hington, Dec. 14.—That ths do-
ririoM Of the United States supremo
court In the Standard Oil and To
rero truat cases "have fully demon-
,trated the effectiveness of the Sher
man nntl-trust laiv to accomplish the
aurpoaes for which It was enacted Is
Sue opinion expressed by Attorney Gen
eral Wlrkersham In. his annual report
■rhlch was made public today.
"The court In these decisions, says
ill. report, “rejected a literal Interpre-
Utlnn of the net which would have
brought within its condemnation every
agreement which, in nny respect what
ever, restrained competition, and hold
ing that a reasonable construction must
be given to Us language, recited that
tint every incidental or Immaterial re-
itralnt of competition was a restraint
of trade within Its meaning, but that a
contract combination or conspiracy, .n
order to fall within the law, must im
pose a direct and undue restraint upon
commerce between tho states with for
eign countries.” ....
The attorney gepernl reviews the his
tory of these two cases at length, and
nates that In the tobacco case tho su
preme court was confronted by a far
more Intricate problem than In the
Standard Oil case. He sets his stamp
of approval on the reorganization plan
of the Tobacco trust, which was re
cently affirmed by the circuit court. In
this connection he aays: “In my opinion
tho plan which has been approved by
the circuit court will accomplish the
object! of tho law, and tho various in
junction provisions embodied In the de
cree of the circuit court will effectively
■ ■ ; I ; rev, lit a tvrnrrimo In tile
future of those agreements and condi
tion., which In tho past liavo been
found to be essential to the creation
and maintenance of monopolistic con
dition.”
In connectionWith the reorganization
plan.., (he attorney general states that
neither the courts nor tho department
of Justice la properly equipped to work
out nueh problems, and recommends
functions of the bureau of
corporations be enlarged so ns to ena
ble that body to act in an advisory
rapacity to tho department of Justice.
•It presont tho bureau of corporations
li organized with sole purpose of gath
ering Information and data to enable
the president to make recommonda-
tlena to congress of legislation looking
tewtrd tho control of corporations. Tho
tttorney general'thinks, however, that
If their powers were enlarged In ac-
eordanca with hls recommendations, it
would prove of exceptional help In
llilntegrating corporations that had
keen adjudged as violating tho anti
trust law.
Fourteen proceedings under tha anti
trust law have been Instituted since
nit against tho United States Steel
Corportaton. tho shoo machinery trust,
eugar trust, magazine trust, electric
Itmp combination and tho lumber
trust.
■ Under the Hepburn and Elkina Inter
nals commerce law thero have been
IS prosecutions for Illegal discrimina
tion and rebates.
According to tho report, the expenses
of the department during tho last fiscal

OF U. S. CONGRESS
Sulzer Resolution Denouncing
Treatment of American Jews
Passed Wednesday.
THE VOTE WAS 300 TO 1
Now Up to Senate to Instruct
the President to Abrogate
■' Treaty of 1832.
Washington. Dsc. 14.—With tho res
olution of Senator Culberson, of Texas,
before it and tb| Sulzer resolution
which passod the liouae yesterday ready
to bo transmitted, the United States
senate Will determine whether or not
the Russian treaty of 1832 will be abro
gated. The Culberson measure Is prac
tlcally the same as the Sulzer In Its
meaning. It calls upon President Taft
to give tho required one. year’s notice to
the Muscovite government to end th
treaty whtcli has stood for *0 year., be
cause of Russia's attitude toward Jew-
Ish-American citizens.
The victory in tho house yesterday
was overwhelming, as only ono repre
sentative ventured to vote against Its
passage. He was Representative Mal-
by, of Now York. Throe hundred vot'-s
were cast In the affirmative.
An attempt led by Representative
Olmsted, of Pennsylvania, to modify
tho Sulzer resolution so as to avoid
making tho direct charge that Russln
has violated tho treaty In refusing to
recognlzo tho passports of American
Jena was defeated 184 to 115. Promt
nent Republicans declared that the
house should not go on record as
charging a violation of tho treaty, but
should adopt language stating that
Russia bad so construed tho treaty that
the United States could no longer be a
parly to It.
“The sentiments announced here to
day," declared Republican Leader Mann,
"are such that if they were uttered in
another parliamentary body they might
bring much resentment and would pro-
voko war.”
Mr. Mann added that If the United
States asserted that a discrimination
against races was a violation of a
treaty, It might weaken Its orwn atti
tude toward the exclusion of Orientals.
The debate In the house bristled with
charges that Russia's attitude was an
olTense against the United States, and
that her oxcluslon of American Jew*
who bore properly certified passports
was an affront to this government. Rep.
resentatlvo McCall, of Massachusetts,
said tho matter ought not to be noted
upon by tho house until It had bc-n
submitted to arbitration between the
twojcountrlcs. Representative Long-
worth. of Ohio, Insisted that the "time
for arbitration has gono by and tha
time for action has cotne.”
"This ought not to be considered In
any way an affront to Russia." - said
Mr. Longworth. "Tho United States
desites the frlendslp of Russia, but
this question Is above dnd beyond
friendship; It Is a question of national
honor."
Mr. Mann endeavored to have the
Joint resolution amended so as to as
sert the continued right of the United
States to discriminate against for
eigners on account of race. All
amendments fD.the resolution were
overwhelmingly beaten.
The resolution passed declares that
'tho government of the United States
will not be a party to any treaty
which discriminates, or which by one
of the parties thereto Is s<, construed
as to discriminate between American
citizens on the ground of race or re
ligion;" and It adds: ’
"Tho government of Russia ha* vio
lated- the treaty between'the United
States and Russia, concluded at St.
Petersburg December 18, 1832, refus
ing to honor American passports duly
Issued to American citizens on account
of race and religion; and in the Judg
ment of the congress the said treaty
for the reasons aforesaid, ought to be
terminated at tho earliest posslblo
time.”

MINSTRELS BEHIND BARS
MAKE PRISONERS MERRY
Negro Convicts Sing “Alexander’s Ragtime Band’’ and Dance
Until Audience Roars With Delight—Prison Jokes Make a
Hit—Touch of Pathos in “Home and Mother” Song.
“Ladles and gentlemen; 1 present the
U. 8. P- Quartet, the greatest quartet
In captivity." , „„
Did y6u get that "In captivity?
That's the gag. That’s why the au
dience of 300 chuckled and roared, and
then broke into a yell.
But vou'd have to bo one of them to
see the Joke, if there Is any Joke In
being a guest at the Federal.
It was tho first minstrel show of the
United States prison. In the suburbs of
Atlanta; the time, Thursday morning
at 9:80 o'clock; the place, tho big chap,
cl. The Interlocutor wns an ex-theater
manager serving a term for getting
mixed up In a got-rich-qulck scheme;
the orchestra, tho prison’s own band;
the minstrels, 30 negro convicts who
sang and danced as merrily as tho they
were at a barbecue. It was planned and
executed by tho prisoners themselves.
It wasn't open to the public, but the
officials invited two or three friends
to be present.
The stago, filled with a croaccnt of
minstrel* In natural black-faco, their
mouths stretched In a grin of delight;
the Interlocutor, In a white uniform,
upon hls dais In the center; the orches
tra sawing away at a ragtime overture,
while Jake Matthlesaon, familiar to
every vaudeville lover, pounded the
piano with one hand and waved a baton
with the other—nil this was natural
enough until you turned for a study
of the audience. Then It seemed un
canny.
And Such An Audience.
Long rows of men and boys In th
prison blue, their backs ndomed with
the insignia "U. S. P..” nnd the same
emblom blazoned on trouser-knees and
shoes: grizzled veterans of perhaps a
hundred crimes, youthful prisoners
caught perhaps In their Arst offenso
against society, and sent up for a year
or two—sharp-eyed foreigners, who
found America tho land of the free only
for the Innocent or the uncaught; ne
groes from tho slums and from the
corn-Aeld—verily a motley throng.
Many of them had heard real minstrels,
from tho days of Primrose to the
frills of Cohan; some o of the moun
taineers were having their Arst Intro
duction to buck-dancing and ragtime;
but. they nil yielded sooner or later to
the infection of tho hour, nnd laughed
and cheered at some sly dig at the pris
on or a bit of song which suited their
fancy.
Very little lamp-black was needed for
this performance, for tho "talent” was
all negro, except the Interlocutor, who

Crushing of Monopolies.
Washington, Deo. 14.—Making the di
rect charge that the methods of gigantic
monopolies ‘are causing t a spread, of
dangerous unrest throughout the Unit
ed States,' Attorney Louts _D. Brandeis
today appeared,before the'eenate com
mittee on . Interstate commerce and
spoke In favor ot the LoFollatte bill,
which Is designed to curb the growth of

make It more' effective. .

Mr. Brandeis took Issue with Presi
dent Taft on the question of regulating
trusts thru a commission. The speaker
said that a commission might prevent
excessive proAts, but could not secure
low prices necessary to general compe.
tltion.
In support of hls contention that so
cial unrest Is growing In consequence
of trust mythods, the attorney pointed
to the labor war In Los Angeles and
the blowing up of The Los Angeles
Times building, with a loss of 21 lives.
Then lie reverted. to the Homesteud
strike In Pennsylvania, when men were
shot down In actual battles during the
bloody struggle.
Mr. Brandeis considered the-trust
question from all angles. He said that

MANY WITNESSES PRESENT
President Frank Ryan Tells the
Authorities Where to Locate
Him if He Is Wanted.
Indianapolis, Ind., Doo. 14.—-It Is be
lieved that indictments In the govern
ment’* Inquiry Into the alleged national
dynamite plots will be returned before
January 1 by the Federal grand
Jury that began Its Investigation here
today. Scores of witnesses were on
hand to testify, manyor them being
brought from points hundreds of miles
distant. United States District Attor
ney C.'tV’. Miller said that he had vast
quantities of documentary evidence to
present in support of oral testimony.
Mr. Miller showed great confidence In
hls case.
The gathering of evidence had been
greatly facilitated by the confession of
Ortle Mr.Mnnlg.il, the Iron worker who
turned state’s evidence against the Mc
Namara brothers In Los Angeles, and
Mr. Miller said that none of it -would
wasted. If it were not used before tho
grand jury, he said. It could bo used
later.
Tills Indicated the firm conviction of
the district attorney that Indictments
would soon be forthcoming. The be
ginning of tho grand Jury investigation
brought forth a fresh crop of rumors
relative t" tho identity "f the "man
higher up” who may feel tho heavy
hand of the law.
President Frank A. Ryan, of the In
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron "Workers, who Is charg
ed by Detective William J. Burns with
being ono of tho contributors to tho
“dynamite fund," sent word that he
would be within easy call If he was
wanted to testify.
Stenographers formerly employed hv
John .1. McNamara, the secretary-treas-
urer of* the Iron workers, have been
brought here from Chicago and Pitts
burg to testify, and It was believed that
they would be among the tlrst wit
nesses.
The Investigation will be sweeping
and before it-Is concluded, according to
.Air. Miller, It will cover the Illegal
transportation of high explosives car
ried about the country by McManlgat
and .lumen B. McNamara In their cam
paigns of violence.
Just before the Federal grand Jurv
ami District Attorney Charles \\\ Mil
ler entered the Jury room at !> o’clm k
this morning it was learned officially
und for the first time Just what the plan
Mini outline of the InvestlgatIon will ha.
Acting on Informatoln from Pres
ident Taft, Attorney General Wicker-
sham instructed the Federal authorities
at Indianapolis to make a general in
vestigation of the dynamite plot
throughout tho country. District At
torney Miller was placed In charge of
the big Investigation covering the en
tire country and embracing every Fed
eral Jurisdiction in the government.
This was done because the original
conspiracy, It Is beilevod, was hatched
In the office <>f tho International Asso
ciation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers In Indianapolis.
At tho close of the Federal investiga
tion In Indianapolis tho grand Jury for
this jurisdiction will return whatever
Indictments. If any, ft sees fit against
those responsible for tho alleged con
spiracy to do dynamiting. Indictments
also may be returned against those re
sponsible for the shipment df dynamite
from one state to another, which Is In
violation of the Federal statute when
shlpjwd on passenger trains.
These indictments, If there are any,
will he augmented by indictments
against those persons responsible for, or
connected with, dynamltlngs at the
French Lick hotel and other Jobs in
the Indiana Jurisdiction.
This plan having been completed by
tho Federal grand Jury here, transcripts
of all evidence will be made. The tran
scripts will be sent to every Federal
jurisdiction In the United States where
dynamiting John were done.
In these various Jurisdictions the evi
dence sent from Indianapolis will ho
used as tho basis of a further and local
Investigation of the Jobs dons in that
particular Jurisdiction and Indictment*
against little follows who may have
knowledge or who may have assisted m
tho ]oCiii Jobs may result.
Among the witnesses who arrived on
Thursday morning to testify before tho
Federal grand Jury was E. W. Kehoe,
n hotel keeper at Clinton, Iowa, who
brought with him hls hotel register t »
corroborate Ortle E. Mc.Manlgal's ad
mission that he stopped at Kenoe’s ho-
*«i th.' night lie nays lie blew up th«
\V‘Nc->n-ln Bridge Cnmpitny's bridge
over the Mississippi river at Clinton.
Aimth'-i arrival tld* morning was
President Frank M. Ryan, of the iron
workers, who registered at the CIaypo«i
hotel, from Chicago.
The extraordinary secrecy main
tained throughout the Federal building
rendered It 'almost'Impossible to ascer
tain even the Identity of witnesses who
ore examined today. Guards wer.»
stationed In both corridors of the build
ing and all persons were compelled to
prove that business connected with the
grand Jury necessitated their entering
the upper floors before they wore per
mitted to enter tho elevators.
Among th first to visit the witness
room were employees of Attorneys Hen
ry Seyfrled and Leo M. Rappaport. both
of whom represented the Iron Workers
union here prior to the confession of
the McNamaras.
Others who were taken up to the
district attorney’s quarters were Mis*
Nora Haley, of Chicago, nnd Miss Mary
Dye, of Pittsburg, who formerly served
as stenographers for J. J. McNatniva.
It wns understood, however, thnt lit -
».!*• was d"tie In the wav of taking tes
timony. the work todnv being mereiv
a sort of getting tog.-ther and settling
down for the big task.
The Federal authorities declared
they w • i ■ detrmined that there should
hi no •hak'*. of information from th*
