New York, Sept. 17.-The Herald
claims to have the authoritative fore
cast of the Littlefield antitrust bill
which has been Endorsed by President
Roosevelt. Both Attorney General
Knox and Mr.Littlefield pointed out to
the president the great trouble with
antitrust legislation up to this time
is that people have been unable to
prove the inside workings of the
trust. They both recognize that II
anything is to be done it must be
possible to get Mt the big men. Yet
how can the big men be brought on
the stand to testify against them
selves, when the constitution says
that no man is to be convicted upon
his own testimony; that he shall not
''be compelled in any criminal case
to be a witness against himself"
The plan for getting around this con-
stitutional bar is this: In all prose
cutions, hearings and proceedings no
person shall be excused from at
tending and testifying on the ground
or for the reason that the evidence
required of him may tend to crimi-
nate him to a penalty or forfeiture;
but no person shall be prosecuted or
subjected to any penalty or for
FIXTURE for or on account OF any
transaction, matter or thing concern
ing which he may testify or pro-
duce evidence. In other words, il
men like Morgan, Hill and Vanderbilt
should be engaged in railroad deal
which secretly embodies some agree
ment of a trust character, any COM
plainant who suffers injury from
this agreement can bring these kings
of finance into court and make them
testify against the others-make
him turn states evidence against
his own will.
The man who sues trust and has
the facts behind him that will prove
that he has suffered damages from
the operations of any company which
works in restraint of trade or COM
merce is:
First-To receive three times the
actual amount of damage suffered.
Second-To have all of his lawyers
fees paid by the trust.
Third-To have the trust pay all
other expenses of the suit, including
the court costs.

NO TARIFF REVISION.
Roosevelt's Conference with Leading Re-
publican Senators Agreed on Policy to
Pursue In the Immediate Future.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Sena
tors Hanna, Spooner, Allison, Aldrich
and Lodge and Postmaster General
Payne spent several hours with Presi'
dent Roosevelt yesterday and dis
cussed with him the entire political
situation, having special reference
to the conditions in the western
states which the president is to visit
on his approaching trip. The par
ties to the conference were very reti'
cent after they returned from Saga

reliable authority that it was de-
cided to make no attempt to revise
the tariff at the coming session OF
congress; that the president is tc

and, further, that he is to insist in
his demand for reciprocity with
Cuba.
