ern Pacific. He confined his discussion
largely to the decision of the Circuit Court
in the case Take Mr.. Johnson, he con
ceded that the Sherman Act covers all
combinations in restraint to trade. He
contended, however, that some latitude
must be allowed in defining what is a re
strant to trade, and he said it was rather
startling to apply to law to make a Grim
inal, the consolidation of two lines of rail
road like the great Northern and the
Northern Pacifis, as was done in their
purchase by the Northern Securities com
pany.
Mr.. Bum laid down the general propo-
sition that the acquisition of the stock OF
two railroad companies or of one company
was not an act in restrain of commerce.
To say that because a man owns the
stock of two parallel roads he is going to
restrain in commerce was contrary to fact
and might just as well be said of a man
who owns one road
Justice White interrupted Mr.. Bum to
inquire if he was to understand mis- ar
gument to maintain that the drawing of
articles consolidation was not in itself a
violation of the antitrust law.
Attorney General Knox followed. In
the beginning Mr.. Knox outlined the attl-
tude Of the government towards the case,
saying that it was zone of grave concern,
based upon it's conviction that a mischiev-
Gus evasion of the law has been attempt
ed. as we'll as upon its especial interest
in relations to one of the properties at-
fected'' Mr.. Knox made the following
points.
First, that the Northern Pacifis Rail
road was built under the authority of the
United States and in the main with cap
tal furnished by the United States, and
that the United States intended, and at
tached the condition to its contribution,
that the railroad should be a grea indie
pendent national highway, and specified
that the object of its construction was
'to promote the public interests"
Second, That by different devices en-
ployed during the last ten years, the de-
PENDANTS, or some of them, have endeavor-
ed to destroy the independence of the
Northern Pacific Company and bring it
under the domination of the Great North
enr Company.
Third, That the Northern SECURITIES
Company is an instrumentality devised by
defendant to acquire, hold and exercise
control over these two parallel and com
peting lines of railroad to destroy compe-
tition between them, to create a monop-
oily of transportation in the section served
by them, and to defeat the condition at
tached by the United States to the fran
chise and land grams of the Northern Pa
cific Company

command of the province of Santiago not
to make expenditures for public purposes
in excess OF $4,000 a month without FIRST
submitting the question to the Military
Governor General Brooke said today that
General Wood ignored that order and had
gone on spending public money without
authority from the military governor.
General Brooke was asked whether he
had withdrawn the revenues from San
tiago, for expenses elsewhere. He an
swered that Santiago had received all It's
own revenues and more than 100000 ad-
ditional.
Mr.. Morrison, New York lawyer, tes-
tilted that he was interested in the Elac-
trozone Company, of Havana, and that his
company received contracts from General
Wood for dsinfecting the city. He SAID
that there is still due to his company
the sum of $4,000 on contracts, and that
Cuban officials III Havana swear the mon
ey was paid to Wood to discharge the in
debtedness Mr.. Morrison said he be
lieves that General Wood received that
money.
During the hearings today Senator
Hanna made a formal request of the
committee that General Wood be sub
pCenaed to come home from the Philip
pines in order that he may answer the
charges against him and that he may be
questioned concerning his actions n

Intelligence.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Dec. 14.-The Sen
ate spent the day on the Cuban bill, most
OF the time being occupied by MIR Bailey,
of Texas, in an elaborate argument
against the constitutionalty OF the pro-
ceeding. He claimed that no treaty
changing the revenue laws that was not
first authorized by legislation originating
an the House of representatives was
valid. Mr. Bailey also opposed the bill
as a matter OF general policy Brief
speeches were made by Senators Teller
DepeW and Lodge. The latter asserted
that Cuba had adopted the same immi-
grafton laws as those of the United States.
in regard to Chinese immigration.
In the course of a coiloquy with Mr.
Stewart, Mr.. Bailey said that the Pres-
dent believed Just as the Nevada Senator
did.
"Then he is a good lawyer" responded
Senator Stewart.
Il never heard that he was lawyer
at ALL" answered Mr.. Bailey. While
heard that he has spent days and
nights at lighter literature, am not
aware that he has encountered the drudg
cry of the law--Gnd more's the pity for
It."
He declared that the President by tie
course followed in this treaty had per-
termed an.insolent usurpation OF the priv
leges of the House. The proceeding, he
declared, amounted to moral and political
coercion. Concerning the policy of en-
acting the reciprocal measures, Mr.. Bat
ley said that the first argument advanced
was that it was q duty TO the suffering
Cubans, and driven from that the friends
OF the bill say that it is a great COM
mercia1 stroke, but, said Mr.. Bailey, II
say those who will reap the benefits are
the sugar and tobacco trusts and they
have no right to it. / believe the Re
publican Senators are honest i'll theie
support In fact / do not think there
is any difference between the two sides
of this chamber on questions of honesty.
l believe the sole difference is one of in
telligence."
Senator Spooner observed, You pay us
high compliment"
In mis- discussion of the benefits OF the
bill, Mr.. Bailey told OF the effect on TIE
small sugar market with every change in
the legislation. He said that every time
the bill was about to pass the sugar stock
went up and whenever the bill was about
to fall the stock went down.
The Senate adjourned until tomorrow.
