Some Important Provisions Made in
the New House Bill.


the New House Bill.
Washington, Dec. ga caucus of the
Republican members of the House was
held tonight to consider plans for advanc
ing the House financial bill. About 100
members including Speaker Henderson
and all of the prominent leaders on the
Republican side, were present.
MIR. Overstreet of Indiana, who present.
ed the bin, explained it section by section.
As he proceeded, many questions were
asked. but they We're not in a captious
spirit, and indicated a desire to reach a
clear understanding.
One of the inquiries was to the effect of
a continued depreciation of silver, to which
Mr.. OversTeet answered that further de-
probation would be impossible under the
terms of the bill, as silver could be taken
10 the treasury and exchanged for gold,
thus maintaining the parity of The metals.
As TO the establishment of a gold stand
ard it was stated that while it might not
lead to the actual coinage of gold dollars,
yet it would preserve a stable standard,
just as some states keep an official yard
stick as a standard.
Mr.. Overstreet continued his eXplana-
tons until II O'clock when, in response
10 q general sentiment, the caucus ad-
journed until o'clock tomorrow.

GRIGGS MENTIONS TRUSTS.
How Actions May BE Brought
Against Illegal Combinations.

How Actions May BE Brought
Against Illegal Combinations.
Washington, Dec 5.-Attorney General
Griggs, in hts annual report to Congress,
reviews the work of the department dur
ing the year and then says that applica-
ton is occasionally made to the depart
ment Of justice to have legal proceed
ings brought in the name of the United
States against corporations or combinJ-
tons of companies that are alleged to be
engaged in forming or maintaining mo-
nopolies or agreements in restraint of
trade or competition
"Such actions" the Attorney General
says, "can be maintained only when the
offense comes within the scope of the
federal statute.
THE only federal legislation against
combinations in restraint of trade is con-
tanned in the so-called Sherman act.
1.-THE government has no constitutional
right to supervise, direct. or interfere with
Inc transaction OF ordinary business by
the people of the several states unless
such business relates directly, and not in
cidentally, to interstate commerce, and
such has been the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
I'm all cases where the facts presented
to the Attorney General. capable of legal
proof have established satisfactorily Sucn
an agreement or combination in restraint
of interstate commerce as is contemplate
ed by the Sherman act legal proceedings
hove been taken by him in the name Of
the United States either to dissolve the
combination or to punish the offenders by
indictment"
The Attorney General recommends in
crease Of salaries OF Supreme Court JUS
tees to $4,000 a year, or Circuit Court
Judges TO $4,000 a year and of district
judges to $500 year.

it, it has no further jurisdiction over the

Court in the cases involving the consti-

The appellants attack the law on the
ground that it provides for a direct tax,
which is not apportioned among the states
according 10 population as required by the
constitution; that even if not direct tax,
it is unconstitutional because it is not
uniform in its operations exempting as it

impose such tax rests with the states
exclusively.
