There are two things that save La

cause of his own merits as a, player, but
because 81 the unstinted study and pains
he expends upon his productions. The
success of esteem he. has. achieved in

as an actor and manager rather than as a
playwright. His representation Of the

Senator Nelson's Trust Cure.

Senator Nelson Is preparing to put in the
form of law some Of the ideas which he
preached concerning the trust during the
last campaign. He introduced yesterday
an amendment to- the Sherman Antitrust
law, making illegal any contract, merger
or over capitalization in the form of trust
for the purpose sof restraining trade be-
tween the central states or with foreign
nations He would have such corpora
lions required to file their articles with the
interstate commerce commission, together
with statement showing the number and
par value Of all shares of stock, to whom
issued, and whether given or sold for cash
or for other purposes, and II for cash at
what price per share. He would have
such corpora tions report also value of bus
mess transacted, gross earnings, taxes and
property owned or controlled. In other
words, he would make organizations
formed for trust purposes show up, not
only the basis of organization but. the de-
tails of the business carried on by them.
His remedy for the trust evil as indicated
by this bill, is chiefly publicity. Is
He also offered an amendment to the
constitution increasing the power Of con-
gress over the trusts, comforting the power
to define, to regulate, prohibit or dis
solve trusts, monopolies or combinations
whether existing in the form of a corpora
ton or otherwise and also the power to
license, regulate and control all corpora
lions engaged in trade. commerce Or other
business among the several states or with
foreign nations. The requirement Of a H.
