As to its feasibility the speaker said the
want from legislature if they show unity in
their demands. The assertion that prohi-
bition does not prohibit he stigmatized as
false. The advocates of high license alone
stood between prohibition and the liquor
traffic.
Robert Graham took the ground that ma

sirable nor feasible. In spite of it the sale
of liquor goes on practically openly in Port

The sIausnter Of Song Birds.

We called attention last week to the
slaughter of song birds in the outskirts and
suburbs Of our city. The mischief has been
done chiefly by boys with bean snappers,
spring guns and other harmless looking con-
triyances but Ia some localities young men
have been freely using shot guns, and have
killed great number of birds and con-
seluently have left still greater number of
the young to perish in their nests.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals has taken the mat
ter in hand. They have had copies
Of the law printed with the offer Of a
reward of ten dollars for evidence that will
convict offenders. School teachers in the
city and suburbs will be requested to read
the law and explain its meaning to the chill
dren. After this, anyone found guilty will
be turned over to that terror Of evil doers.

given:

The Antitrust Bill.

WASHINGTON, June lin the House TO-
day, Mr.. Stewart presented the conference
report on the Senate antitrust bill. The re-
port says
In the original bill two things were declared il
legal: Contracts in restraint of Interstate trade
or commerce and the monopoliZation of such
trade. Its only object was the control of trusts,
so-caled, so far as such combinations in their re
ation to Interstate trade, are within the reach of
federal legislation. The House amendment ex-
tends the scope of the act to all agreements en-
tered into for the purchase or sale of commodi-
lies, or in the transportation of persons prop
erty within the Jurisdiction of Congress, and de-
clares illegal any agreement, for the relief from
the effects of competition in industries, for the
transportation and sale of merchandise, however
excessive or destructive such competition may be.
The amendment reported by the conferees is the
Senate clause with the added proviso that the
power of the states over the subjects embraced
In the act shall not be impaired thereby. 1t
strikes from the House amendment the clause re-
lating to contracts for the purchase or sale of
merchandise, and modifies the transportation
clause by making unlawful agreements which
raise the rate above what is lust and Reasonable.

Washington correspondent says: "The re-
suit will probably be that Mr.. Charles B.
Reade of Maine, the New England candi-
date for sergeant-atarms, will be retained in
his present position as the executive officer
under the sergeant. Mr. Reade was not in
antagonism with Valentine, On the contra
ry, it has long been understood that the
strength of Mr.. Reade would be given to
Mr.. Valentine, so far as it could be con-
trolled, whenever it should become apparent
that Mr.. Reade could not secure the first
place."
