AIMED AGAINST TRUSTS.
Bill Introduced in the New York
LcEiSluture.

Albany. Jan. 1S.-The first bill to be in
troduced at this session of the legislature
aimed at the trusts was presented yester-
day by Assemblyman Joseph l. Green, of
Manhattan. The new bill amends the
meaningless Lexow bill of 1897. which
rather favored than opposed the operation
OF trusts.
The most important feature OF the Green
bill is the final provision. which guarantees
immunity to witnesses. The Lexow bill
was deficient in this respect, as it did not
protect witnesses who offered evidence
against TRUSTS.
Mr. Green's bill compels witnesses TO
answer questions relating TO the operations
Of trusts but guarantees them absolute
immunity from prosecution.
The immunity clause provides that no
person shall be excused from answering
any questions that may be put to him. or
from producing any book, paper. docu-
ment. writing or thing required TO be pro-
duced, on the ground that it may tend to
convict him of a violation of the provis-
ions of this act, or of crime, but the
testimony given by witness in proceed
ing or examination under this act, or any
book, paper, document. writing or thing
produced by said witness, shall not be
used or given in evidence against him in
any criminal action Of proceeding. nor shall
any criminal action or proceeding be
brought against such witness on account
of the testimony so given by him
Mr. Green said: My bill does not leave
loophole for the trusts to escape.
shall push it and compel the Republican
party TO go on record this session either
for or against the demand of
leading Democratic newspapers for
the proper protection of the people from
the evils of great and crushing combina-
tions OF capital"
