SENATOR HOAR'S ANTI
TRUST BILL A MYSTERY
introduced Subject in Senate, But Lines Not In

Senator Hoar. the venerable chairman

tial stenosraphcr as his sole companion.
Those who have had the temerity 10 ask
for him there or 10 seek information
regarding the provisions OF the measure,
have not been rewarded. The word has
gone ont that when the bill is a finished
product, ir will be given to the public
through the press-be thar time today.
tomorrow. or next week.
Coupled with the antitrust Iegisla-
tion which was started en- the House yes
terday by the adoption Of an amend
ment to the regular appropriation bill
setting aside a sum for use Of the Attor-
ney General in breaking combinations in
alleged restraint Of trade. senator Hoar's
announcement that he has something to
ofer caused no little comment. In the
first place. the proceedings were a little
irregular He asked and obtained per
mission TO introduce the title Of a bill
Wednesday and follow it with the body
Of the measure in a few days The title
offers little insight into the manner in
which he purposes TO meet this great
est Of all national problems" The title
is as follows: "A bill FOR the regulation
Of trusts .or corporations engaged In in
ternauonal or Interstate commerce"
The fact that n is said that this bin
is to be an Administration measure lends
to fl a speculative interest as to its pro-
visions. II is known that Senator Hoar
came TO Washington at the beginning OF
this session firmly converted to the idea
that there was not time TO adopt any
trust legislation az this time. II is not
generally believed he has changed his
views on the subject, but it is known he

has twice been in conference with Pres
ident Roosevelt and two or three times
with Attorney General Knox. and the ad-
visibility Of introducing antitrust legis-
latiou at short session Of Congress was
considered.
AT the same time IL is said the Presi-
dent urged upon Senator Hoar the need
Of some Immediate action. and suggested
the meeting Of the chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee and the Attorney Cen
cral, with "a view to coming to some feas-
ible plan Of getting the matter before
Congress without provoking a prolonged
fight. Therefore more than ordinary in
tcrest attaches to Senator Hoar's pro
posed measure, and It will be eagerly
awaited throughout the country.
Senator Hoar was in his committee
room for a while. but merely for the pur-
pose Of attending to correspondence.
Several persons called. but they found
that an audience with the chairman o.
the Committee on the Judiciary was un-
attainable. II is believed the bill will
be filed with the Secretary Of the Sen
ate today. and will be printed. so that
Senators may obtain copies tomorrow for
digestion in the vacation time.
The one question which seems to dis
turb the Senators not on the inside is
whether Mr.. Hoar has changed his mind
In regard 10 the possibility Of snti-trust
legislation at the short session. or
whether he holds TO the same yiew ard
viii permit his own creation 10 sieep

impression is that the bill will follow. in

ure advanced by him for passage at this
session.
