Charles Clafin Allen, assistant city
attorney of St. Louis read q long paper
before the Industrial commission today
on the subject of trusts. He commended
that combinations In restraint of trade
should be rigidly regulated by the
States. A State should require all
corporations to publish statements OF
their operations. National banks we're
examined regularly by United States
government officers and those corpo-
ratiOns made no objection. 1t ought to
be the same with trusts. The courts
have repeatedly held that boycotts are
conspiracies and combination among
capitalists was also conspiracy. At
the afternoon session Mr.. Allen was
questioned closely by several members
of the commission.
Senator Allison, after an interview
with the President this morning on the
gold bill, said "The bill will pass with
out any delay or much discussion. The
measure has President McKinley's en-
tire approval and WILL be supported by
his party unanimously as well as by
many on the other side of the\ House"
Congressman elect Roberts, of Utah,
resumed his argument before the Tay.
Ter investigating committee this morn.
| ing. He gave good deal OF time to q
discussion of the provisions of the Utah
enabling act which, az he interpreted 1t,
did not intend to disrupt existing rela-
tons, but merely prohibit polygamOus
IN arrisge 10 the future. The act, not
the status, of plural marriage was order
ed suppressed. Persons known to have
| been connected with the institution OF
polygamy were nominated for office
| without protest and without any breach
of faith or contract being charged.
There were protests from "sOme OBJ.
scure and narrow minded persons"
when men of that character were ap.
pointed to federal office. III refer to
Mr.. Smith, postmaster at Logan, and
Mr.. Graham, postmaster at Provo"
said Mr.. Roberts. 1t would be useless
TO deny that these protests were made.
Fhe two men were appointed, properly
appointed, 10 the face of these protests
which were made to President McKin-
lev and receipt of which he acknowl-
edged. Senator Rawlins was told OF
the protests and asked whether he OPP
posed the appointment of these men.
He did not and they were appointed.
In reviewing the case he charged that
the cry of polygamy was raised now
that the contributions to Utah gentle
missionary work might receive much
needed impetus"

bmetallism, will not renew his cOnnec-
ton with IL.
Senator Deboe OF Kentucky has re-
turned here after witnessing the recent
republican defeat in his State. Before
the final decision he was certain the re-
pubicans would come out with flying
colors, and induced the President TO be-
lieve him. CJcksureness is not COL
ducive to happiness, and Mr.. Deboe is
not happy, now that Mr.. Blackbu has
been elected Senator and Mr.. Goebel
will soon be iDsueurated az Governor.
