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.

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 BIG SUCCESS; 5,000 ROUBLES TO COUPLE ST.

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.
