The bill makes every corporation Off
cial violating the law personally liable
for all debts ard obligations contracted
during his term OF Office The Attorney
General is to have SJ00.0 to use in
enforcing the law.
1.-THE bill which I have prepared" said
Senator Hoar, lis, believe, conservative
and moderate. 1t will work no serious
injury to any lawful and honorable bust
ness. Indeed, | have taken pains TO put
into the law a provision that the Attor-
ney General may iii his discretion refrain
from proceeding to obtain 4 decree which
will absolutely prevent the continuance
of business by an association against
which any civil proceeding may be in
stituted if in his judgment the Interrupt
ton of business will cause serious public
loss or inconvenience. | have tried to
avoid any provision which might work
harm to legitimate enterprise"
In Senator Hoar's opinion there is
nothing in the bill which is not in stri>
accordance with the constitution. Tht
one thing in the bill which is of vital CON
sequence is the provision contained in
section IL.
THAT every president treasurer. gem
eral manager, agent or otter person usu-
ally exercising the powers of such OFF,
GERS of any corporation, joint stock com
pany. or other association who has him
self in its behalf violated, united to vio-
late, or voted for or consented TO the
violation of any Of the provisions Of this
act, shall thereafter be personally liable
for al, the debts end obligations of any
such corporation
at is doubtful says Senator Hoar,
"whether any one man will care to ac-
cept such a responsibility, and even if
such thing should happen in case of n
single corporation the instances must be
very few. 1t may be objected by some
that the United States government has
no constitutional power to make an Off
Ger of a corporation personally liable for
I'll its debts But the bill has been care
fully drawn so as TO cover that point
The officers of n corporation enter into
an agreement that they will be liable
for the debts of the corporation. other
wise they viii not be permitted to engSge
in interstate commerce or in commerce
with foreign nations. viols ion Of
that agreement subjects them to punish
ment. There is nothing unconstitutional
in this"
An important provision Of the bill is in
section 8. which is intended to meet the
case Of a concern like the American Su-
gar Refining Company. which by the de
cision of the Supreme Court has been
held not to be subject to the existing
antitrust law. The sugar trust escaped
on the plea that it was engaged in man
ufacturing and not in interstate com
merce: that the product was made In
the State Of New York by one assOcia-
ton and that its sale was carried on
nv others

cHlcAeo.s coAL SHORTAGE.
State Attorney General Investigated
Charges Against Dealers.


The coal shortage in Chicago is being
investigated by Attorney General Ham
lin in person. to find a basis Tor legal
proceedings. Representations were made
to the Attorney General that the coal
dealers of Chicago and not the railroads
aIe responsible for the tie-up of coal On
the side tracks and in the railroad yards.
Ii was charged that the coal dealers,
In order 20 make the famine effective and
send prices upwards, were paying demur-
rage charges of 81 a day on each ear.
If this can be substantiated Attorney
General Hamlin thinks the persons who
are responsible for the coal famine can
b.. reached Cor forming illegal eonU!aa-
uous.
1t was represented TO Attorney Gen
eral Hamlin that while thousands of cars
of soft coal remain in the railroad yards
close To Chicago. consumers are com
PEELED TO pay from S4.25 to So ton for
sCft coal. One Chicago newspaper stat
ed that on Saturday there were 1896
carloads of coal, or about 100000 tons,
in the railroad yards in and around Chi
cago.
Ii appears that the soft coal operators
have made good their threat Of the early
summer 10 raise the price of soft coal.
The anthracite strike was the opening
wedge for the soft coal dealers to reap
a rich harvest. Many dealers and opera
tors declared the people would use soft
coal this winter md many wonld con
time next winter owing to the plentiful
supply and the cheapness in price The
orders came and the result is shown in
the general advance Of soft coal.
Following are the prices Of both hard
and soft coal and the condition of the
supply in many cities:
Boston--Hard coal ST.. Soft coal $40.
Limited supply.
New Ycrk-Hard coal $3.50. Soft coal

A telegram in cipher received by Sec
rotary Hay from Herbert W. Bowen, the
United States minister at Caracas, con
tanned the disturbing information that a
new crisis had arisen ia Venezuela which
may threaten the heretofore conceded
success of the agreement of all parties
concerned 10 refer the claims of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy to The
Hague curt of arbitration.
Minister Bowen reports that through
the development of unexpected strength
on the part of the Venezuelan revolution
lists the situation of President Castro
government has become extremely cTiti-
cal. The national treasury is empty,
which means that Castro is without pecu-
mary resources to continue the stand he
has made so successfully against the
forces of his internal enemies, who are
apparently well supplied with arms and
the wherewithal to carry on their strug-
gle.
The inference is that Castro may be
compelled to abandon the reins of govern
ment. A change in the control of the re-
public might bring about resumption of
the dangerous conditions which prevailed
when the coercive measures of the allies
were begun.
A new national administration at Cara
cas- may mean the undoing of all that has
been accomplished toward peace between
Venezuela and the powers. Should Cas-
trO be overthrown his triumphant sue
cessors may repudiafe all that has been
done by him TO bring about settlement
