EVILS OF TRUSTS.
What the LexOw Investigation COM
mfttee VIII Say

CHICAGO. March S. = special to the
Times-Herald from New York says: The
Lexow MISUNDERSTANDING committee held
a long session to-day and finally adopted
the report as drawn by Senator Lexow.
The report attacks trusts in vigorous lam
guage, pointing out their evils and dan
gers, but ii reaches the conclusion that,
under decisions of the courts, no new law
can be passed TO curtail the powers of
combinations of capital without conflicting
with the clauses Of the federal legislation
Whlch declare the rights OF property and
of contract. Therefore. the committee,
strongly as ii feels the need of further re-
striction. is forced to content itself with
recommending that the powers of
the attorney general be en-
larged so as to give him greater opportu-
mites to discover whether the existing
law forbidding combinations in restraint
of trade is being violated. The inability of
small producers to compete with such COM
binations as the Sugar Trust is instanced
as one of the most Objectionable results OF
consolidation of interest. The evasion of
taxes for the watering of capital stock and
the manipulation Of trust stocks in Wall
street are alluded TO. Senator McCarren,
one OF the minority members of the COM
mittee. VIII make a report dissenting from
Senator LeXOWs treatment OF the testimony
relating to the Sugar Trust. The report,
which contains something more than 100
words, Will be submitted to the Legislature
tomorrow and ordered printed.

GREECE MAKES REPLY.

Their massacres there as soon the appli-
cation of reforms was commenced These
orders were given by a former Governor of
Crete. and were duly carried out.
AS to the reported apprehension lest the
Mussulman minority in Crete should suffer
by the enemy of the vast Christian ma
jority, am informed that the Turkish min
lister at Athens informed his government
to the CONSERVATION of the Sultan, that the
Mohammedans of Thessaly. numbering sew
eral thousand families. have adopted a
unanimous resolution. which they have tel
egraphed to the Moslems in Crete. calling
upon them to have confidence in the Greeks
and to submit to their government under
which they will he treated in an infinitely
more liberal spirit than under the Khalif.
They conclude by assuring them that I'VE
enjoy perfectly equal rights with the Chris
tianS In Greece; we hold appointments in
all the branches of administrations we are
town councillors and village magnates; we
are happy and content"
Such. in fact, is the truth. and this truth
would have prevailed, with all its beneficent
consequences. had the great powers allowed
the unfortunate people of the East to settle
their OWE affairs. But, turning from the
humliating and shameful confusion of
European international policy, il is impos-
Sble to admit that America has again
indicated her claim to a higher conception
of public morality and international duty.
The resolution of the Senate of the United
States expressing sympathy with the Strug-
gle of the Greeks for liberty and recalling
its similar resolution of 1921, stands in elo-
quent contrast to the doing of the lords of
hosts in old Europe. At the same time, it
would be both an injustice and a mistake
to ignore the fact that public feeling in
England is thoroughly aroused in favor of
the Greeks, and that. as | am informed
many Conservative electors have written
TO the members in Parliament strongly pro-
testing against the participation of the
British fleet in the work of repression.
Meetings are being organized all over the
country to express sympathy with the
Greeks, and. should another gun be fired
against the insurgents. the position of the
government will become very unpleasant
one. The declarations within the last few
days of Sir William Harcourt. Sir Campbell
Zimmerman and Mr.. John Morley leave no
sort of doubt as 10 the line of policy they
intend to pursue. They will not allow this
country to do the dirty work of the Turks
as marked out by Germany and Russia.
/ have good reason to believe, however
that il is due to the attitude of Lord Sails
bury that more violent measures have not
been adopted against Greece, and that he
has displayed a rare combination of firm
ness and Cancellation in the midst of con-
flicthg interests and diplomatic difficulties
or no ordinary kind.
