EARS OUT THO TRUSTS.
Corporations of More Than So ,OOo. 600 Capi-
tai Can't he Chartered in West virginia.

WHEELING. W. Va, Jan. 5.--Ex- Attorney
General Alfred Caldwell made n discovery to-
day that will probably prevent the Tinpate
Trust and the pottery combination from
operating In this state. The discovery
is that OF the old statute which
provides that. except for railroad and canal
purposes. no company shall be incorporated
with capital exceeding five million dollars
In later years the limit was iraised from one
million to Ave million dollars in order to ac-
commodate some OF the local mills and iron
and steel companies.
The Limitation of capital applies not Only to
home concerns. but to all foreign corporations
and the effect is likely to be complete obstruc-
ton OF the efforts Of the Pottery Trust to
gain control of local plants. With the Tin
Trust the law raises an interesting question,
for most Of tho plants in this vicinity have been
purchased outright. The law will have the
effect OF raising questions OF legality concern
ing other large corporations operating under
the laws CT this State.
