TO REGULATE TRUSTS
MR.. HOAR MAKES A NOTABLE
SPEECH ON HIS MEASURE IN
THE SENATE.
FEELING OF INSECURITY

Maintains That All Thoughtful Men
Are Agreed Some Legislation Is
Necessary for the Control Of Large
Masses of capitaI-senator Vest
Calls Attention to the Distress Re-
sultins From the Shortage In Coal.
Washington, Jan. THE day in the
senate was eventful because of n
notable speech by Senator Hoar on his
bill regulating trusts and an attack
by Senator Vest on protected indus
tries through the operation of the
Dingley law. Senator Hoar's utter
ances were listened to with marked
attention. He said that nearly all
thoughtful men in this country are
agreed that some legislation, state or
national, ought to be had for the regu-
lation and control of what are called
trusts" and of large masses of capital
accumulated by corporations or arti-
fetal persons holding property and
conducting business without individ-
ual liability. There was, he said. a
general feeling of insecurity and
alarm about the matter and we were
dealing with a real peril and not with
a fancy or an imaginary danger. He
argued that If his bill should become
law and prove effective nCt Drporation
engaging in the commerce which is
within the jurisdiction of congress can
keep its condition a secret. The bill,
he said, depends for its validity on
the constitutional power of congress
to regulate international and interstate
commerce. Should the bill not prove
effectual he contended that it would
be easy to extend its operation by i'm
posing like personal liability on every
stakeholder.
Senator Vest used as a text for his
remarks his resolution introduced
Monday instructing the committee on
finance to prepare and report a bill
removing the duty on coal. Feeble in
the extreme and supporting himself
on his desk, he called attention to the
condition of distress which had arisen
as a result of the shortage in the coal
supply. There was breathless silence
in the chamber as he spoke to catch
his words. He said that the question
was no longer a partisan one, but one
Of humanity and that we are not on
the verge of a crisis but actually in 1t.
He charged the Republican senators
with being silent and dumb to the
state of affairs. having only in mind

President Roosevelt has decided to
bar lighted cigars out of the white
house and with the view of making
known his desires regarding the mat
ter has hung over mantel in the pub
lie reception room the familiar sign:
NO smoking allowed" Some time
ago Arthur Simmons, the colored door
keeper, who has been at the white
mouse for many years, was made
smoke inspector. but he found that
mis- efforts to put a stop to the nui-
sance provoked a good deal of tall
language among offenders. Mr.. Sim
mons is of pious turn and naturally
that sort of talk shocked him ex-
ceedingly. Therefore he begged to
be relieved from the task and so Mr..
Roosevelt has hung up the sign.
