SCHEME TO MAKE
TRUSTS PROVE
INNOCENCE
Stanley Committee Has Plan to
Force Accused Combines to
Pay for Prosecution.
WASHINGTON, July 24. —A majority
of the Democrats of the Stanley steel
Investigating committee have decided
to recommend legislation placing the
burden of proof on a corporation to j
show that Its operations are legal. Mar- j
tin W. Littleton, Democrat, insists, |
however, that a corporation is entitled i
to all the privileges of an individual
under the constitution, and that it is
the duty of the government to prove
the guilt of an accused corporation. Mr.
Littleton applies the principle that a
person is presumed to be innocent un
til he shall be proven guilty.
This issue is probably the most Im
portant raised before the Stanley com
mittee.
Proposed Sherman Law Amendments.
Mr. Stanley has reduced his remedy
to writing in the following proposed
amendments to the Sherman anti-trust
law:
"That whenever in any suit or pro
ceeding, civil or criminal, brought un
der or involving the provisions of this
act it shall appear that any contract
combination in the form of trust or
otherwise, or conspiracy was entered
into, existed or exists, which was or
is in any respect or to any extent in
restraint of trade or commerce among
the several states or with foreign na
tions, the burden of proof to establish
the reasonableness of such restraint
shall be upon the party who contends
that said restraint of trade Is reason
able.
"That whenever in any suit or pro
ceeding, civil or criminal, brought un
der or Involving the provisions of this
act it shall appear that any contract
combination In the form of trust or
otherwise, or conspiracy was entered
Into, existed or exists which was or is
in any respect or to any extent In re
straint of trade of commerce among the
several states or with foreign nations,
there shall at once arise a rebuttal pre
sumption that such restraint was or is
unreasonable.
Contract To Be Evidence.
"That whenever in any suit or pro-*
ceeding, civil or criminal, brought by
or on behalf of the government under
the provisions of this act, a final judg
ment or decree shall have been ren
dered to the effect that a defendant, in
violation of the provisions of this act,
has entered into a contract combination
in form of trust or otherwise, or con
spiracy in restraint of trade or com
merce among ihe several states or with
foreign nations, or has monopolized or
attempted to monopolize or combined
w*:h ,ine person or persons to monopo
lize any part of the trade or commerce
among the several states or with for
eign nations, the existence of such ille
gal contract, combination or conspira
cy in restraint of trade or of such at
tempt or conspiracy to monopolize,
shall to the full extent to which the
facts and issues of fact or law were
litigated, and to the full extent to which
such fact, judgment or decree would
constitute in any other proceeding an
estoppel as between the government
and such persons 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 or involving the provi
sions of this act.”
Railroads Must Prove Reasonableness.
Messrs. Stanley, McGillicuddy and
Brail declare they have a precedent In
the last amendment to the Interstate
commerce act, creating the commerce
court and giving the interstate com*
merce commission broader powers.
That amendment introduced into the
Federal statutes the principle of plac
ing the burden of proof upon a railroad
tn show the reasonableness of Its rates
when a shipper made complaint or
when the interstate commerce commis
sion made its inquiry.
Chairman Stanley has written into
his report a recommendation for the
introduction of this same principle into
nil the anti-trust statutes, with the
purpose of relieving the government of
hfavy expenditures in proving its cases.
Representative Littleton worked all
day today on his recommendations. He
will submit them to the Democratic
members of the committee at their
meeting tomorrow. Mr. Stanley says
the difference between him and Mr.
Littleton can be reconciled.
The Stanley report will be signed
probably by all five Democratic mem
bars of the committee, but Mr. Little
ton is expected to submit a supple
mental report.

Economy Is Keynote in Plat
form of Veteran Legislator
and Treasury Watchdog.
Joe Hill Hall thinks he would serve
a useful purpose to the people of Geor
gia if he were named governor, and
that is why he wants to be elected.
The keynote of Mr. Hall’s campaign
is rational economy in the manage
ment of Georgia's financial affairs.
“Georgia should live within her in
come," said Mr. Hall recently, and that
tells pretty well the sum total of Joe
Hill Hall’s platform.
“The legislature makes the most ex
travagant appropriations, many of
them worthy enough in theory, per
haps,” said Mr. Hall, in a speech last
week, “without knowing, or caring,
seemingly, where the money to pay
them is to come from!"
'The gentleman from Bibb is opposed
to that. He believes Georgia should
pay as she goes, and go only as she
pays.
For years Joe Hill Hall has been a
leading and powerful influence in the
house of representatives. There, years
ago, he won deservedly the title of
"Georgia’s watchdog of the treasury."
In the light of his long and consist
ent experience, Joe Hill Hall is per
suaded that he might act a' worthy and
commendable part in the governorship
—and that is why he wants to be gov
ernor.
In a short time The Georgian will
publish a statement from John M. Sla
ton, giving his ideas of why he would
be a good governor, and a similar state
ment from A. F. Castleberry’, of Colum
bus, the Socialist candidate.
MARRIAGE LOTTERY

ROUBLES TO COUPLE
ST. PETERSBURG, July 24.—At
Smolensk the annual marriage lottery
recently took place, and was remark
ably financially successful.

council ten days before the lots were
drawn, and the ticket holders at once
visited her house to make her ac
quaintance.
Five thousand one-rouble tickets
were sold, and the money which would
have been equally divided between the
prize and its winner If she had refused
him, as she had the right to do. was, as
is customary, presented to the young
couple as a wedding gift.
ST. MARYS RAILWAY
MAY REACH ATLANTA
VIA THE PEACH BELT
A short line route through the peach
belt, running from Atlanta to south Geor
gia and Florida, may be the result of the
proposition indorsed by the Chamber of
Commerce for the Atlantic, Waycross and
St. Marys railroad to extend its lines into
Atlanta.
The road already has obtained a char
ter and runs from St. Marys, Fla., to a
connection with the Seaboard Air Line
railroad. President L. Johnson has been
in Atlanta for several days looking after
the Interests of the proposed extension
and consulting financiers and state and
legislature officials. His plan of extension
thence to Atlanta through Fort Valley,
will be to build his road to Waycross,
HERE’S WAY TO KILL RAT:
JUST GIVE HIM A SHOCK
WASHINGTON. July 24.—T0 kill a
rat or other rodent successfully, remove
the Insulation from two heavily charged
electric wires for a short distance, sus
pend a bait between them and place a
tub of water on the floor beneath the

the ground squirrel are pointed out as
the carriers of the plague. The article
is entitled "Kill the Rat.”

GERMAN ENVOY HAS
SECRET TYPEWRITER
FOR WRITING IN CODE
LONDON, July 24. Baron Marschall
Vonßiebersteln. the new and gigantic
German ambassador, has brought with
him a private typewriter with special
type, which only the baron and one or
two members of the German foreign
office can read. The baron allows no
one else to work this machine, and al
ways carries on him the key of the
patent lock with which it is fitted. He
himself types out all his private code
messages.
Private typewriters have been in use
among some English business men for
some time past, and the use of such
machines by firms who are accustomed
to write their important correspond
ence in a secret code is becoming com
mon.
Nearly all the standard typewriter
makers are ready to quote for the mak
ing of typewriters fitted with any par
ticular kind of type. Machines have
already been constructed for Oriental
languages, including Turkish, and also
for Yiddish and Hebrew. In fact, no
cipher is now considered too difficult
for the engravers.
It took many years to bring to per
fection the construction of a typewriter
for writing Turkish, owing to the dif
ficulty of joining the Turkish charac
ters.

4. Woman can make heaven or hell
for a man in his home.
5. The brain of a quarrelsome woman
is night without a moon.
6. A stupid wife will harm a man
more than his deadliest foe.
7. A happy love must be held with
both hands, with the eyes, the ears,
and with every thought.
8. Who wishes to marry must have
money in his safe and credit in his
pocket.
9. Whoever wants to know his own
worth let him go a-courtlng without
money or possessions.
10. Love makes man rich, woman
poor; it makes man strong, woman
weak.
JOHN D.’S LATEST STUNT
IS PROBATION OFFICER
NEW YORK, July 24.—John D.
Rockefeller has suspended John Riley,
foreman on his Pocantico Hills estate,
for being cruel to his family. Riley
will not be taken back until he proves

Without waiting for the judge to act,
Mr. Rockefeller ordered Riley laid off
until he promises to treat his family
better. The justice thought Mr. Rocke
feller had punished him sufficiently, so
he let him go on probation.
