LEX0W REPORT ON TRUSTS
COMlfITTEE FINDS THAT TTHEY RE.
STRICT NECESSAEIES OF LIFE.

Organized in Nearly Every Instance for
and Debating Prices--Great Danger
| Likely to Arise from Continuance of
| the Present Order of Things.
Albany, n. Y, March S.-The report
| of the Lexow trust investigating coma
| mittee will be presented to the senate
| tomorrow. The committee finds that
combinations to restrict the necessaries
| of life do exist and that the aggrega-
tions of capital which have been formed
were organized in nearly every instance
for the purpose of regulating trade,
| suppressing competition, controlling the
| output and debating the prices The
| report dWells at length upon the great
| danger that is likely to arise from the
continuance of the operations OF these
| aggregations of capital and protests
| that affirmative legislation should be
| enacted with q view of restraining If
not entirely prohibiting the operation
| or such monster combinations of
| wealth.
| The report states that the committee
believes the factors agreements be-
tween the trusts and their agents are
| to a great extent the potential agency
| through which these combinations are
| enabled to fulfil the purpose of their
| organization.
| The committee is working upon the
| remedial legislation, but Chairman
| Lexow does not think he will have the.
bills ready for Introduction tomorrow.
One of the bills to be introduced will
be that prepared by Attorney General
| Hancock last year, aimed especially at
| the coal trust but applying to all
| trusts. The bill was introduced last
| year by Assembly Robins It passed.
but Governor Morton refused to sign it.
| Senator McCarren, who represents
| the Brooklyn district, in which the
| Havemeyer and other sugar refineries
| are located, is the democratic member
| OF the committee on part of the ssn-
| ate. He will sign the majority report
| except so far as it relates to the Amer
| lean Sugar Refining company and he
| will submit a minority report dissenting
| from the finding and conclusions in the
| majority report so far as they refer to
| the sugar trust. In his report Senator
| McCarren will hold that the American
| Sugar Refining company has prevented
failures in the sugar trade, which were
| Of SO frequent occurrence before the or
| ganization of this company.
| The report will state that since the
| organization of the American Sugar
Refining company the price of sugar
has been lowered to the consumer; that
| labor has been kept steadily employed
and to greater extent than formerly,
that the company has not oppressed or
coerced any of its competitors in any
| way, that it has not solicited the CO.
operation Of any factors or agents to
| develop it's business or increase the sale
of its product; that so far as the Amer
lean company is concerned with refer
ence to the independent refining COM
pany it in no way interferes with the
| freest kind of competition, but confines
! itself exclusively to it's own business.

J4P4N,s FINANCIAL VAR.
The Gold and Silver Advocates Arrayed
Apainst One Another.


Against One Another.
Washington, March S.-Japan is the
next nation to furnish battle ground
for contest between the advocates of
gold and silver standard. The report
has recently been printed that the Jap
anese government had adopted the gold
standard, but this proves to be incor-
rect. official cable advices received
from Toxic to-day state that the min
adoption of the gold standard, and that
on the I'd instant this measure was in
troduced in the house of representatives
of the diet. The introduction of the
measure no more foreshadows it's sue
cessful passage by the diet than would
be the case in the American congress.
The new unit of value will be one
half of the present gold one yen piece,
and existing gold coins are to be circu-
lated at double their present denomina-
tional value. The dispatch contains
the further information that the silver
one yen piece will remain in circula-
ton until abolished by an imperial or
dinance. 1t is not purposed to effect
the subsidiary coins, which will con-
tinue to circulate. The bill also pur-
poses that the free coinage of silver
shall cease from and after October 1
of the present year, if the measure be-
comes a law.
1t is understood that this proposed
financial legislation will create strong
opposition in the diet.

UNDER Il TROLLEY CAR.
But Reuben Dudley Wasn't Cut to Pieces
After All.

But IeuDen IJuuIey WASN'T cut TO RieCeS
After All.
A serio- comic incident occurred on a
Dixwell avenue car yesterday afternoon
about o'clock, which at the time look
ed more serious than comic and it was
sheer luck that it did not prove so in
reality.
The car was running at a good rate
of speed between York and Howe
street when Reuben Dudley, a colored
man, a coal shoveller by occupation,
signalled his intention of getting off.
The conductor rang the bell for the car
to stop, but Dudley instead of waiting
jumped from the rear platform. The
result was surprising to both Dudley
and those who saw him. Instead of
alighting on his feet he went under
the car back of the wheels and was
rolled along in the plastic mud of that
locality for quite distance
Those who witnessed the affair sup
posed that Dudley was being cut to
pieces beneath the car, but when the
trolley finally loosened its grip upon
him he sprang to his feet with great
alacrity and shaking the Broadway
mud from his body sped swiftly after
the retreating car, which had his bas-
ket and shovel on the front platform.
The passengers broke into laughter
when they say that the man was I'M
injured.
Dudley lives on Lafayette street and
is about fifty-siX years old.

Turkish troops to disembark on the
island the presence also of all the ships
of the Greek fleet off Crete is judged
to be unnecessary, the presence of the
Greek army on the island is neVerthe-
less shown to be desirable alike from
sentiments of humanity and in the in
terests of the definite establishment of
order, Our duty specially forbids us to
abandon the Cretan people to the mercy
of Mussulman fanaticism and the Turk
ish army, which at all times has de-
liberately and intentionally participated
in the aggressive acts of the populace
against the Christians.
Above all, if our troops on the island
who are worthy of all the confidence
of the powers, had received a mandate
to pacify the country, their desires and
intention would have received promptly
the most perfect satisfaction. 1t would
be then after the re-esta blishment of
order that it would be possible to learn
the desires freely expressed of the Gre
tan people for a decision as to their
fate.
The sorrows which have occurred reg
ularly in Crete for many decades past,
foundly agitating the Hellenic people,
but they also interrupt social activity
and gravely disturb the economy and
finances of the state. Even if we ad-
nit that it would be possible to forget
for an instant that we share the COM
mon religion of the Cretan people, thar
we are of the same race and bound by
ties of blood, we could not in silence al
low the powers to assume that the
Greek state is able any longer to re-
sist such shocks.
For this reason we appeal to the gem
erous sentiments animating the powers
and beg them to permit the Cretan
people themselves to declare how they
desire to be governed

Th Chronicle adds on high authority
that the Greek ENJOYS abroad have
been instructed on receipt of the reply
to inform the governments to which
they are accredited that Greece is pre-
pared to recognize the temporary su-
zerainty of the sultan, to withdraw her
fleet completely and to place the Greek
army in command of any military rep
resentative of the powers senior in
rank to. Colonel Vassos for restoring
order in the island if the powers are
willing ultimately to leave the decision

four first lord of the treasury, denied
that the collective note which the pow
ers had addressed to Greece was couch
ed in the form of an ultimatum. There
was no doubt he said, that there was
a difference between the position of
Turkey and that of Greece. The lat
ter was acting in defiance of the pow
ers, while Turkey was acting purely in
the defensive and showing that she had
no desire to resist the desires Of the

Letter from Captain Taylor.

EDITOR TINES: / saw an article in your
paper of July "a, in which you say that
there never has been a company of the
militia here since the early days of the
state. l was not here in the early days of
the state; have, however, lived here GO
years. My first military service in Yer
mont was in 1889; we held our annual
trainings and musters up to 1916. The
militia was dead from that time until 1855
In that spring | got up a company which
we named the ''Green Mountain Guard :"
| was elected commander. The state fur
nished me with the improved muskets. l
took my company that fall to Rutland to
the first state fair. From that time on they
commenced to form companies in other
places, SO that we had troops for muster
in 1857 and took my company to Brad
ford. So you see your intormer is mis-
taken: if you doubt my word, ask some of
of my soldiers, Wyman Flint, Fred Howe,
Stephen r. Wales, think Norman Farr,
and Sc others were they all living.
do not wish to have the readers of the
TIMES think Bellows Falls is as dull place
as your informer says it is, for it has al
ways been noted for being the most public
spirited town in the state, having had more
noted men visit it than any other town in
the state. | can not think of all, but will
name few of those have had the pleas
ure of shaking hands with: Seward,
Webb, Greeley, Sherman. Colfax, Grant,
Harrison, Mckinley, and Daniel Webster.
There were more people in the village
when Webster was here than there has
been since or ever was before.
