MAY MAKE AN AMENDMENT
House and Senate Judiciary Commit
tee Will Take Some Action
Upon Trust Question.

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Republi-
can leaders IN both houses OF congress are
devoting considerable attention to the SUBJ
iect of trust legislation, and there Is every
reason to believe that measure Of some
kind Will be brought forward after the re-
made.
The judiciary committees of both houses
have before them general bills proposing
to regulate trusts and several resolutions
proposing constitutional amendments to
give congress power over corporations. The
best lawyers seem to be of the opinion
that nothing can be done without a consti-
tutional amendment, and It is probable
that some form of amendment will be rec
commended.
