WASHINGTON, FEBruARy 9, 1905
The Littleffeld nti-trust bill, on
which the Attorney General and
the members OF the House Judici-
airy committee expended SO much
time. is destined to ignoble death
in pigeon-hole of Senate COM
mittee. Evidently its provisions
did not meet with the approval of
the trust magnates and accordingly
the House leaders deferred action
on 1t until the Senate found an OPP
portunity to enact the Elkins bill
which embodies one of the Attor-
ney Generals recommendations, that
rebates on transportation charges
be prohibited and that grantor and
receiver be both made liable under
the law. This important measure
was passed by the Senate without
debate. So anxious were the dem
ocrats that some measure looking
to trust control be enacted, that they
did not dare to precipitate discus
sion. 1t is generally understood
the more influential railroads have
no objection no the Elkins bill as
they believe it will save them from
many endorsements incidents to
the granting of rebates.

The Knox bill, popularity known
as the "hurry-up" bill, has been en-
acted. 1t provides for the expedit-
ing of antitrust cases in the courts
and was favorably reported by
Senator Fairbanks from the Senate
committee on Judiciary. The con-
ference committee on the bill esta-
blishing department of Commerce
and Labor is now holding daily ses-
sions and Senator Nelson hopes to
secure the adoption of his amend
ment providing for certain publicity
features as part of the duties of
the proposed Bureau of Corpora
tons. The Littlefield bill will
doubtless be passed by the House
but will receive no consideration by
the Senate.

The tailor was more than willing and
the exchange was soon made.
A peculiar, cooling, soothing odor, like
that emanating from some sea cavern,
came from the sponge suit and the tailor
grew cooler and cooler until the stranger,
who had donned his coat, hat pants, vest
and shoes, approached and said: Il see
that you are gradually beginning to feel
the excellent effect of this change in cos
tune, but in order that you may appre-
ciate it's full value allow me to place the

1t was more than hot. enough for him,
left the store in charge Of a clerk, and,
swinging on to an electric car bound for
Lake Como, left behind the almost un-
endurable sight Of the piles Of cloth in
his establishment.
The heat was at the scorchng point
now, and nothing but the rapid move

suffocating.
Arrived at Como, the tailor, discarding

self at full length In the grass beneath
the shade of the trees on the border OF
the lake. For time he watched the peo-
pie passing, noting in a half-dreamy fash
ion that, while all the women were in
dainty white costumes, many Of the men
were dressed in black. a dark brown or
gray cloth, and this set him to musing
upon new style Of suit for summer wear.
While deeply engaged in meditating up
on this subject he gazed across the blue
waters Of the lake toward the opposite
shore and his eyes were suddenly ar
rested by strange looking creature in
an oddly shaped canoe who was padding
rapidly across to where he lay.

MEADOW CITY HAPPENINGS
CORONADO BAND.
Short Concert In the Piaxa-Rain Pre-
vents Evening Entertainment
In Hillside Park.

Old Jupiter Pluyius seems to have
1t in for Santa Fe Ticket Agent Wise
of Cincinnati and his aggregation OF
musicians from the famous Tent City
of Coronado. The band came yester-
day afternoon, and a little later the
rain came in such quantities as to
preclude all hope of a concert in Hill
side park in the evening.
However. the band boys went over
to the west side and rendered four
sprightly selections In the Plaza park.
A big crowd turned out to enjoy the
music. Mr.. Wise went so fas as TO
erect his stage and his picture Greens
in the park for the evening entertain
mcnt, but when the rain began to fall
gently from l%ow-hung, close-gathered
clouds, the old timers all felt sure II
was an all night affair.
AT $3.50 the band started a concert
from the Castaneda yeranda and quite
a goodly number gathered. The or
ganization is an excellent one The
pleasing effect Is enhanced by the
large number OF wood instruments.
From here the band went To the CAPT
tai. Las Vegas people we're sorry not
to have the opportunity OF hearing the
band and seeing the magnificent views
OF the west, but they are still ready
to swear by Jupiter.
