TRUSTS CAN BE SUPPRESSED
HOW TO DO IT

HUN III III IL
The public sentiment of North Caro-
lima has been expressed against trusts
by the act of 1889, which makes it a
crime, punishable by ten years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary, and $4,000 fine
to be a member of q trust. There is also
the United States Statute making it an
offence punishable by fine of $1,000
and years in the penitentiary. But
men VIGOROUSLY members walk the
streets untouched by the law, and pulled
and helauded by the men and the news
papers they own or subsidise. The
effect is bad. 1t brings the law into
grave disrepute when it is seen not to
be strong enough to be executed upon
rich men, who exercise illegal callings.
1t is often asked why is this so?
The answer is easy. 1t being only a
criminal offense, the defendant has the

OVERHEAD TROLLEY BARRED.
A Decision Against the Anacostiu
and Potomac Railway

The Commissioners yesterday decided
that they would not permit the Anacostia
and Potomac Railroad Company TO extend
their troily line into the District in order
10 construct plow pit al the end of the
Anacostia bridge to obyiete the necessity
OF changing the power for their cars on
the proposed change from overhead 10 ua-
derground trolley The law of the Dis
trlct prohibits the introduction Of over
head trolley lines in the District, and the
decision of the Commissioners is based
on their version CT this law.
The company proposed to construct a
p.ow pit al the end OF the bridge and TO
so extend their trolley line that the power
might be changed without obstructing the
traffic on the bridge. When the plan was
first proposed the inspector of the Engin-
eer Department CT the District Government
was sent TO examine the place and report.
In his report he stated that he saw no
objections 10 the extension as he believed
that the law relating 10 trcileys on bridges
also included the approaches to the bridge,
and therefore the law would not interfere
with the extension of the trolley.
He further states in his report that II
il believed that this is the only feasible
plan OF connecting the trolley systems OF
this road in order tnat the change from
the overhead 10 the underground trolley
may be made with the least possible delay.
Computing Engineer Hunt held differently.
He submitted the matter TO the Attorney
for the DIsIrict, who rendered opinion
that any extension of the trolley within
the District limits was a violation of the
law. and that such changes should not be
permitted Commissioner Ross and Act
Ing Engineer Commissioner craigi1ill
