HOUSE TAKES Up TRUSTS
Bill to Expedite Prosecutions
Passes Without Debate.
MoRMoNIsM PRovokEs TALK.
Senate Has Suggestion to Amend tho
Statehood Bill SO as to Stop Polyg-
amy-Hale Warns Against "Poten-
tial Force" in Politics Of the Church.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The antitrust
bill debate, which opened in the house
yesterday. did not develop much AMI
nation, although there was fairly
large attendance in the galleries. Tho
rule under which the house was to op-
crate, however precipitated q lively
discussion. The Democrats protested
vigorously against the rule for con-
sideration of the bill, because 1t did
not permit them to secure record
vote on substitute, but the Repub-
licans replied that they were willing
to accept the responsibility. The bill
to expedite trust prosecutions occa-
stoned no debate. 1t passed the house,
as it did the senate. without word
of debate. Powers (Rep.. Mass.) made
the opening argument for his side OF
the house on the judiciary bill and
Clayton Dem. Ala.) opened for his
side The former contended that the
pending measure was a step in the d.
recticn of regulation of the trusts,
while Clayton insisted that 1t was all
sham and pretense and that the BILL
feeble as it was, never was intended
to go on the statute books. The other
speakers were Thomas (Rep., Ia.) and
Thomas (Dem. N. c.. The postoffice
,, appropriation, b'll>Was passed before
the trust bills were taken up. The
death of Mr. Moody On. CO. was an
nounced at the close of the session and
out of respect to his memory the house
adjourned.
The postoffice bill contains an i'm.
portant provision that has not attract
ed much attention. 1t provides that
hereafter postotfices shall accept for
transmission in the mails quantities OF
not less than 1000 identical pieces OF
third or fourth class mail matter with.
out postage stamps affixed, provided
that the postage is fully prepaid. This
proposed legislation will save the ex.
pense of manufacturing stamps, the
sale of them to the public and the sub,
seoIent labor of cancelling the stamps
on the individual pieces in the post
offices after they are mailed.
Discussion of the statehood bill in
the senate turned on the question of
polygamy. A number of senators who
heretofore have taken no part in the
debate, participated in the discussion.
Gallinger, replying to some state
ments made by McComas said that he
was in favor of an amendment to the
statehood bill covering the question
of polygamy as strongly and firmly as
possible. The influence of the
Mormon church over politics
occupied a large share of the debate.
Hale characterized the debate as in
teresting valuable and startling, be-
cause it had disclosed powerful re-
ligious organization "exerting itself
as dominant. potential force" over
the mind and action of it's followers.
which should be taken into account in
future legislation.

day of Thursday, as the senate had
taken a recess instead of adjourning.
The senate for more than an hour
disposed of routine business. consist
ing of the presentation of petitions
and reports, Introduction of bills and
passing of unobjected bills on the cal
endar. Upon resuming in executive
session the Colombian canal treaty
was taken up. Senator Quay had
report read and Senator Pettus spoke
at some length. Senator Platt

to debate upon the Fowler currency
bill. Mr.. Fowler, the author of the
measure, spoke for over two hours.
Other speakers We're Messrs. Thayer
(Mass.) Lowering (Mass.). Lewis

eral conviction is that the bill has no
chance to become a law and the fact
that there are divergent views on both
sides of the house detracted from the
interest in the debate. Representa-
tive Gaines of Tennessee introduced
a resolution requesting the president
to transmit to the house at the ses-
sion a detailed statement of the char
acter and cost of repairing. remodel

also requesting the president to have
