THE TRUST IS
It Comes Up Before the Bar /
citation To-day at Saratoga,
New York.
President Rose Tells of the Fix
We Are In-Suggested
Remedies.

Saratoga, Aug. 27.-The American Bar
association began its twenty fifth annual
meeting here to-day. There was a large
attendance Of delegates when the meeting
was called to order by President U. M.
Rose Of Little Rock, Ark, VINO then de-
livered an address. Referring to trusts
he said:
''Our country during the last thirty
years has witnessed a change Of such
magnitude as to be without single par
allel in history. BY means Of vast aggre-
cations of money, corporate monopolies
have been established In almost every
branch of industry. What effect these
tremendous creations will have on our
future destiny morally, socially, financial
ly, legally, no one ventures to predict
with any degree of confidence. If it is
one goes so far as the man that does
not know where he is going, we are ap-
parently entering upon a long journey.
1--WE have at present more than 1000
monopolies, to say nothing of price and
rate fixing and profit sharing pools, with
buying and selling agencies exercising
functions similar to those of the trusts.
all organized for the purpose Of fixing
prices arbitrarily. Without the advan-
tage Of fixing prices in this manner, there
would be no motive for the combination
of many diverse interests in one. In most
cases neither the purpose nor the power
is denied; on the contrary, they are pro-
claimed for the object Of raising the price
of corporate securities. That the ad-
vantage arising from suppressed rivalry
and the power to dictate prices is duly
appreciated is shown by the vast amount
of money lavishly invested in these COM
binations AS the number of these runs
high up into the thousands, we might
naturally suppose that the process had
been exhausted; but every day brings its
report Of some new and gigantic alliance
the future Of which cannot be predicted
since most of these corporations are au-
thorized to buy up the stock of any other
corporation SO that they may at any time
acquire supreme control over industries
extremely remote from those ostensibly in
view when they were first created.
"A remedy sometimes proposed with
seeming confidence, is that of publicity
Publicity is a good thing, but would only
serve to prolong the present situation
There is want Of state uniformity; while
it can hardly be contended that, as mat
ters now stand, congress has power tc
pass laws for the investigation of the af-
fairs of corporations organized under the
state law.
Another proposed remedy is the modi
hcation Of the tariff laws as far as they
affect prices of commodities sold by the

POSTS BALLOON TRIP
To Break the Worlds Record for
Long Distance Flving.

Denver. Aug. 27.-In the interest of sci
ence and In the hope of breaking the
worlds record for a long distance bal
loon trip, the Denver Post will send up
the balloon, Big Glory, from Elitch's Car
dens in Denver, Col on Sunday, Aug. 81.
The balloon party consists of Captain
Baldwin, brother Of the Arctic explorer:
Captain Hudson, the well-known
aeronaut, and C. L. Sherman, a member
Of the Posts art staff.
The worlds record for long distance
balloonins is held by Count Henry De
La Vaulx. 1t was made on a trip from
Paris to Korostichev, Russia, a distance
Of 1,156 miles. The balloon was In the
air for 35A hours. Both Captains Bald
win and Hudson are confident that the
advantages offered in an ascent from a.
high point, such as Denver, less than 200
feet Of d mile, will give them a great ad-
vantage over the French aeronaut The
winds in the Rocky mountain region. es-
pecially at this time of the year, will be
another advantage.
The balloon is fully equipped with sci
entifc instruments that will be of ad
vantage In securing data of an interest
ing trip from a scientific point Of view
In order that the progress of the
aeronauts and of their balloon and their
experiences may be known, it has been
arranged for them to drop messages at
SldISu Intervals 10 the earCn. The mes
sages will be 1nclosed in small glass walls
attached to an ingenious parachute. The
parachute and the bottles have been
labeled with requests that wherever found
they will be conveyed to the nearest tele-
graph station. 1t will be only in this way
that definite news can be obtained, and
great deal of the success Of this effort
depends upon the generosity. of the flnd-
ers OF the messages and their haste in
conveying them to telegraph offices.

TOXIC, Aug. c5.--Via Victoria. Aug. IL
This is a period when the United States
seems to be looking after the Pacific
islands. First it was Marcus Island. but
news came that the Washington authori-
ties recognized Japan'S claim thereto. The
Incident caused little futter at first, but
the telegraphed solution of the matter
has been hailed with pleasure by the
Japanese press, which exalts the magnim
ity of American and points out how con
sistently she has shown herself to be the
friend Of Japan.
Just on the top of that favorable i'm
preston there is a telegram that the
United States has sent WarEhip to GUST
the Japanese from Wake Island. south of
Marcus Island. The japanese papers fai

would be to any nation. So far the nature
Of Americas claim to the island and the
purposes Of it's present enforcement. If tho
news is correct, are unknown here.
It Is stated here that the question OF
the right of the Japanese government tc

submitted to financial arbitration of The
;Hugue peace tribunal. The matter is MOI
actually settled. but this disposition of II

Japan's first election, accompanied b!
secret ballot, took place on Aug. Q. The
campaign was very lively, although the
usual feature of the interference Of paiG

spicuous by it's absence. On the Other
hand, accusation Of bribery flew around
and some Of the local prisons were choket
with alleged offenders in this regard.

Events to Secure Her
Dimpled Hand.


Louisville KY. Aug. PA spirited
contest for the hand Of Miss Lulie Bach,
the belle Of Germants@z. vas settled yes
terday afternoon in a novel manner. Miss
Bach had two suitors. John Stull and Dan
iel Cokely. She told them that they must

gested an aquatic contest and Stull
agreed.
Three events were decided on. One was
to be g swim under the water, the race
to go to the one swimming farthest. The
second was to be 100-yard swim. The
third was to be q high dive from the top
of the boat clubhouse.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock was
the time for the contest. Miss Bach was
on hand with number Of friends. Coke
ly won the first race. The second was won
by Stull. Then came the dive. Cokely
thought the girl would be his BRIDE for
he had been diving from the clubhouse
for several years. He turned to kiss his
hand to her, and as he did so he lost his
balance and fell into the water. Stuil
rescued him with little difficulty and was
declared the winner.

THE SECURITIES SUIT
No Decision Can Be Expected Much
Before Christmas Large
Earnings Noted.
Special to The Journal. j

Special to The Journal
New York, Aug 27.-There have been
numerous runors Of an early decision in
the Northern Securities case, but these
do not find credence in circles closely
connected with the company. It Is said
there that a decision will not be rendered
in the Knox suit for some time. Each
side has three months to. take testimony
and it is believed the testimony will be
very voluminous on both sides. A be-
ginning will be made next month in this
respect and If each side takes the full
time it will be winter before a report can
be made to the court. 1t is not reason
able to suppose there will be a decision
this side of Christmas unless the taking
of testimony is greatly accelerated. The
officers of the. company say that very
heavy traffic is assured for the next
twelve months. What tever may be the
outcome of the suit, it is certain that the
earnings Of the companies represented in
the securities stock will be the largest
ever known.
