by Mr.. De Almond except that there was

Mr.. Sulzer charged that clever trust

opinion that the bill of the trust buster

A SHARP CLASH.
A number of other amendments were Of
fered TO the first section, and were voted
down. Mr.. De Almond finally moved that
debate on Section l close and his motion
led to q sharp personal clash with Mr.. Lit

Mr.. De Armond-I undertake to say that
the suggestion of the gentleman that some
body was trying to take charge of this

sense of the gentleman from Maine and the
better manners of the gentleman from
Maine ought to make him aware of that
fact.
Mr.. Littefeld-I trust that the gentleman

did not intend to be personally offensive to
the gentleman from Missouri. AT least, II

NOT ONE NAY VOTE.
ANTITRUST Bill Adopted Unanimously
by the House.

WASHINGTON. Feb. by a unanimous
vote. 245 to o. the House to-day passed
the antitrust bill. The closing chapter
was devoid of excitement. For three hours
the Democrats offered a series of amend
ments designed to place teeth" in the bill,
but they were either ruled out of order
or voted down by strict party vote On
only one vote were the political ranks
broken. 1t was on an amendment offered
by Mr. Thomas, Republican, of Iowa,
to make the filing of returns incumbent on
all corporations mandatory. On that
amendment seven Republicans voted with
the Democrats.
The bill as passed requires corporations
thereafter organized" to file returns COW
ering its articles of Incorporation, financial
composition, condition, ETC., with the Inter-
state-commerce Commission penalty of
being restrained from engaging in inter-
state commerce. prescribes penalties for
false returns. etc. The commission is given
authority in its discretion to call for SINH
lar returns from existing corporations do
ing an Interstate business. The commits
sion is given power TO compel the answer
to questions and fine of not to exceed
5000 is imposed for failure to obey the
commission in this respect. Rebates by car
riers is made punishable with fine of not
less than $1,000 and corporations violating
the provisions of. this section are forbid
den the use of the instrumentalities of the
interstate commerce. Carriers are prohib-
tied from knowingly transporting articles
produced, manufactured or sold in viola
ton of the Sherman act. In cases of prose-
cution no person is to be excused from tes-
tifying on the ground that such testimony
would tend to incriminate him, but for
such testimony the witness is not to be
prosecuted. The Circuit Courts are given
Jurisdiction in cases of violation and it is
made the duty of the district attorneys to
institute proceedings to prevent violations,
and individuals damaged by violations are
given authority to sue.
EFFORTS TO AMEND THE BILL.
When the bill was read for amendment
Mr.. 1ittlefield, in charge of it, offered an
amendment to Section /, which was adopted,
providing that suits for failure to make
returns under the bill could be brought
wherever the defaulting corporation has
"a place of business"
Mr.. De Almond offered the minority
amendment TO this section providing that
all corporations with a capital of 100000
or more doing an interstate business now
or hereafter. organized should make annual
returns" The bill of the committee. he ex-
planned, only required returns from corpor-
ations hereafter organized except where
called for by the Interstate-commerce COM
mission" He thought all corporations
should be placed on an equal footing In
this regard.

ty, said ii desired to steer middle

THE COUNCIL OF WOMEN.


New Orleans, March 30.-The an
nual convention of the executive
board of the National Council OF
Women closed Saturday. The most
important event of the final session
was the receiving Of the report OF
the National Colored Women's asso-
ciation. This report was received,
although there was not a negro wo-
man present. 1t was expected that
Mrs. Sylvanie Williams would sub
NIT it in person. That was one OF the
reasons why Mrs. Yates, the presi-
dent Of the negro association, sent
Mrs. williams her proxy. The wo-
men Of the G. A. R. were admitted as
an affiliated organization. Mrs. Su-
san Young Gates, Of Utah, submitted
a report showing the good work
done through the press. The selec-
tion of delegates to the quinquen-
NAL meeting in Berlin next year was
left to affiliated societies, each TO
choose one.
