THE ANTITRUST PLATFORM.
RecOmm ndatiOns as to Government
Ownership of Trusts.

Chicago, Feb 13.-Fonowing is the plat
form reported by the Committee on Res
olutions of the Anti Trust Conference:
Whereas, in the opinion of the National
Antitrust Conference, assembled at Chi
cago, Feb. L, 10 and IA, 1900. the just and
true remedy for the combinations known
as trusts, which consist of corporations
and natural persons controlling legalzed
and special privileges, is the abolition of
those privileges; and
Whereas, the legalized privileges of tel
egraph monopoly, the legalized privilege
of protection against foreign competition
with American goods controlled by trusts,
the legalized privilege of monopolizing the
issue of paper money and the legal
lied privileges incident to the pri-
vate ownership of railways, are potent
factors in creating and maintaining trusts;
therefore, be ii,
Resolved first That Congress take
immediate steps, under the power of en-
inent domain and otherwise, as may be
deemed the most expedient (but in any
event by paying the just value, irrespective
of watered stock or other fictitious values
of any property taken or condemned to
esta blish the telegraph and telephone sys-
tenn of the United States as adjuncts of
the postoffice department and subject to
its operations
Second. That Congress defeat all mea-
sures that have been or may be proposed,
and repeal all that now have the sanction
of the law, whereby private corporations
may acquire control of the volume of the
circulating medium and create a banking
trust.
Third. That the tariff shall no longer
be employed to foster and buttress trusts,
but that Congress shall place on the free
list all articles the sale of which in the
United States is controlled by a trust.
Fourth. That Congress take immediate
steps under the power of eminent domain
or otherwise as may be deemed the more
expedient (but in any event by paying the
just value, irrespective of watered stock
or other fictitious values of any property
taken or condemned) to take, own and
operate the interstate rail highways now
owned and operated by private persons or
railways corpora lions; and, whereas, tho
political power of the trusts rise in their
frequent representation in and control of
tine houses of legislation, we recommend
the adoption of the system known as d.
rect legislation; to make government once
more as of right it ought to be, and was
conceived alike by Thomas Jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln, a government of the
people, for the people and by the people"

Women Leaders Heard by Congress
sionaI Committees.

Washington, Feb. 1S-Both the Senate
Committee on Woman's Suffrage and the
House Committee on the Judiciary gave
hearings to-day to delegations from the
National Woman's Suffrage Association
on the proposition that Congress enact
a sixteenth amendment to the constitu-
ton permitting women to vote.
Miss Susan B. Anthony was the prin-
cipal speaker.
Before the Senate Committee Miss An
thony filed papers on the subject and in
troduced a number of women speakers.
Mrs Bradford of Denver said there were
10000 more women voters than men. Miss
Anthony claimed that the foreign born
voters were allied with the liquor inter-
ests to defeat amendments granting equal
rights to women.
Before the House Committee both sides
of the suffrage question were represented
by delegations. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton submitted a paper, in which she
said:
las some of the states are depriving the
colored men of the right of suffrage, and
all the states deny it to women, we ask
Congress to pass an amendment to the
Constitution declaring that citizens not al
lowed a voice in government shall not be
counted in the basis of representation"
The anti-suffrage delegation, headed by
Mrs A. j. George of Brookline. Mass,
was then heard. She presented an address
signed by the opposition forces of several
states.
Sharp differences developed between the
two sides, and the committee adjourned.

GREATER SEABOARD SYSTEM.
AGREEMENT OF NEW ORGANIZA-
TToN is EFFECTIVE.

announcement Has Been Made From
With the Continental Trust COM
pany of Baltimore Can Now he
Exchanged for the New Certifi-
Gates of Interest-PracticaII the
Union of the Several Roads Is
Complete.
Norfolk. Va, Feb. ia special dis
patch from Baltimore to the Norfolk,
Va, Pilot, says:
An announcement is made that the
agreement of the greater Seaboard Air
Line organization has become effective
The greater organization is practically
the union of all the railroad systems,
which have heretofore composed the Sea-
board Air Line, the Florida Central and
Peninsular, Georgia and Alabama. Raj
eigh and CASTOR and the various railroad
corporations controlled thereby.
The Managing Committee of the Great
er Seaboard Air Line organization is
composed of S. Davies Warfield Robert
c. Davidson. William A. Marburg and j.
w. Middendorf of Baltimore, John Skel-
ton Williams and James H. Dooly of
Richmond and William S. Cochran of
New York. The committee has organized
and Mr.. Warfied has been elected chair
man.
Under the organization agreement, the
Continental Trust Company of Baltimore
is the depository.
The Managing Committee announces
that the agreement of organization has
become effective through the signing
thereof by the holders of syndicate inter
ests in the Seaboard Air Line syndicate
of the Florida Central and Peninsular
syndicate and the other interests and that
the depository under the agreement is nov
ready to issue the new syndicate certIi-
Gates of interest under the organiza ton
agreement in exchange for the former
certificates of interest in the federal syn,
dictate.
The effect of the agreement so declared
to be operative is to put under the con-
troll of the committee named, the securi-
ties of the several railroad systems so
as TO work practical union of the sys-
TENS by common ownership the holders
of the interest in the securities taking
certificates of interest in the united sys-
tenn. Practically this works at once a
union of the several systems through the
control of their securities and the COM
mon ownership in all. 1t only remains
for the committee TO work out the cor
porate organization of the properties and
the issue by the new company of the Sc
curities representing the systems thus
united. These securities when issued will
be deliverable to the honlders of the GER
tifcates issued by the Continental Trust
Company as depository of the securities.
The execution of this agreement of or
ganization also does away with any ne
eessity for marketing the new securities
at this time or until the managing csm-
mittee supercedes the various committees
organized under the old syndicate agree
ment, the certificates of which now be-
come exchangeable for certificates of the
new organizat ton. Therefore, when this
exchange has been made certificates in the
new organization will represent all the in
terests in all the former syndicates.

The annual meeting and banquet of
the members Of the Connecticut Typo
thetae will be held this evening in
Warner hall. The banquet will be
quite out of the ordinary and will es-
tablish valuable precedent for future
banquets of employers, inasmuch as the
society voted at the November meeting
to ask to the BANQUET all the employ
es who desired to attend. 1t is thought
that in this way the already friendly
feeling existing between the employ
ers and employees will be greatly adj
vanced. Responses have been received
from the employees in the various print
ing houses and 1t is expected that a
large number will attend
Among those who have been invited
to respond to toasts are Governor

Mr.. Bunnell made another hit last
night by presenting Robert B. Mantell
the well known actor, at popular prices
in his latest success THE Dagger and
the Cross" The house was crowded,
and it was one of the best plays that
has been presented at this house this
season. Briefly, the story runs as fol-
lows In Venice, In the year 1884 there
lived one Roubillac, a painter; Frances
ca, his wife, and Zilletto, sculptor, in
love with Francesca. BY means Of his
hypnotic power Francesca returns the
love of Zilletto. The painter and his
wife go to England, where they are fol-
lowed by Zilletto. The old relations are
renewed, though Zilletto has found a
new charmer in Mary Talbot, the
daughter of Sir George Talbot. Zilletto
offers to give up Francesca on condi-
ton that Roubillac impersonates a
priest and marries him to Mary In
desperation Roubillac agrees, but the
ceremony Is scarcely over until Zilletto
breaks his word to Roubillac, who finds
his wife dying in little village near the
sea. She makes him confess his sin to
a priest, and as a penance is direct
ed to return to the scene of the murder
holding in his hand the dagger reversed
as the sign of the cross, and there con-
fesses his crime. 1t Is the time of the
great plague, and as Roubillac makes
his confession he Is seized by the dread
disease and dies.
The piece gives splendid opportunities
for Mr. Mantel to display his ability as
an actor, and this is especially noticea-
BILE in the third act where Roubillac,
standing beside the couch where lies his
dead wife, reveals his crime to the
priest All the climaxes Of the acts
were loudly applauded. Mr. Mantell Is
surrounded by the best company that
he has ever had, and taken all in ALL 1t
Is the best performance that Mr.. Man
tell has ever given in this city. The
piece is well worth seeing and all lovers
of fine play should not fail to witness
the final performance tonight. Sale of
seats now open. Popular and regular
prices.
