(Special)—Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner of Corporations, will deliver an address on "Trusts” be fore the National Civic Federation at Its annual meeting to be held In Chi cago, October 22 to 25.

It Is understood that the question is to handled by a number of prominent men who are expected to express their views without reservation or qualifications. Mr. Smith will speak for the ad ministration, and his address is ex pected to be In the nature of a crit ical analysis of “Trusts.” Mr. Smith was not inclined to ac cept the invitation of the Federation to deliver the address.

He has been at work all summer and is In need of rest But the Civic Federation is dear to Secretary Straus, who is Mr. Smith’s Immediate superior, and Mr. Straus was anxious that Mr. Smith should speak on the topic assigned him.
