The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1903-01-10

Hoar bill, which the venerable sen
ator from Massachusetts made pub
lie last week. The measure Is
sweeping IN Its provisions and, as
was 10 be expected, was immeiia'e-
ly attacked by persons opposed to
antitrust legislation. The most
important opposition SO far express
ed comes from Representative John
}. Jenkins of Wisconsin. Mr.. Jen-
klns is chairman OF the committee
on Judiciary, a maj ajorly of which
committee must be won to the sup
port of the bill before ii can come
| before the House for action. A
summary of Nj. Jenkins opinion
is toe effect tlat the trusts have
nothing to fear and the people moth
ing to gain by the passage of the
bill. He further declares that the
measure contains nothing new. apart
from its phraseology.
After providing that $500, 900
hail be placed at the disposal of
the Attorney Gereral for the prose
cution of trusts, sum already ap-
propriated by the House, Senator
Hoar's bill enjoins absolute pub
licity for all corporations doing an
interstate or foreign business,
where there Is not doubt for liablli-
tv on the part of stockholders, For
combining in restraint oil trade,
txactlng a contract from purchasers,
prohibiting the sale Of goods below
he MAXI pr.ce, for the running of a
competitor penalty is imposed, to
consist Of $4,000 hle, or not ex-
ceed,ng one years imprisonment or
both aud The second conviction tor
violation of any provision OF the
law, entails forfeiture of charter.
These are the leading provisions
of the bill
Great interest is still manifested
IN the fate Of the Cuban treaty.
Senators Plat, of Connec tlcut, told
your correspondent that SO far as
he had learned the only arguments
advanced against the treaty were
pure nonsense and would be easily
disposed of when the treaty came
up for discussion. There is. how
ever, an nn6ercurrent Of opposition
to the treaty from the high pro-
lectioni-ts, who believe they see III
it an entering wedge which will u
timately lead TO reductions of the
| DiHSicf uubies.
The treaty with Colombia is still
an occasion of anxiety TO the Ad-
ministr alton. Secretary Hay has
made All offer, which be regards as
extremely liberal, and 1t IS believed
that only the feeling that it would
imperll his diplomatic career pre-
vents DR.. Herran from signing the
convention as 1t now stands. The
friends of Colombia want the larg
est possible annual income rather
than a arge single payment which
will be inevitably wasted and may
become the occasion of a revOlu
TIN. On the other hand, Colon

ShaW's Hands I'm His Pockets.

A picture of Secretary Shaw, by
Chartran, which will be placed in the
treasury department, was received re-
Gently from New York. 1t shows Mr.
Shaw standing with both hands in his
pockets, a characteristic attitude. Mr.
Shaw likes the picture, because it
shows him in his most natural posi-
tion Mr. Shaw cannot talk business
a minute without having both hands
plunged deep into his trousers pockets
Some of Mr.. Shaw's friends object
ed to the painting. because they said
the attitude was not dignified enough
for secretary of the treasury. They
said he should have at least one hand
out of his pockets. Mr. Shaw listened
to their objections until he got tired.
Then he declared himself.
"Well, gentlemen" he said, with
great decision, my hands are in my
own pockets, anyway"
That ended it-Boston Post.

Jefferson Saw the Poins.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor, is very
sensitive on the subject of his retire

desire to leave it. The interviewer
who puts the question of farewell to
him gets rather sharp but pleasant
reply, but reporter in the south re-
Gently got the best of him. The actor
came downstairs at the hotel one
morning and was much disturbed to
find long but mysteriously worded
article in which the word retired was
closely connected with his name. He
knew the managing editor and made a
half-hearted complaint. q The reporter
was asked where he got the story.

''Well, did you see him?" said the
editor.
mo, SIR" said the reporter. 81 sent
up my card to his room and it was
sent back with this written on it:
"Mr. jefferson has retired"
And then the actor who sleeps
twenty years in every performance
took the reporter out and bought him
a S. hat.-New York Times.
