REPORT ON ANrI-TRUsr BLLL

49, ANSSA oASAs
The report on the house antitrust
bill. as agreed upon by the judiciary
committee, presents nothing essentially
new, but emphasizes and strengthens
much that has beer said before as to
the nature of combinations commonly
called trusts and the necessity for their
supervision and regulation. The belief
is expressed that the combinations
have not been organized, as is some
times claimed. for the purpose of re
ducing prices to the consumer, but on
the contrary the controlling purpose of
such organizations is the profit Of the
parties thereto. 1t is pointed out that
no one can now tell to what extent
%exorbitant prices are being paid, there
being no authority, state or national, to
give any adequate information on that
point. OvercapitaliZatiOn, says the re-
port, furnishes convenient opportunity
for concealing the profitable character OF
the enterprise and 1t is asserted that
corporations have doubled their capital,
ization for the purpose OF ~concealing
their earnings.
1t is urged that publicity, while not
claimed to be a c~ure-all, will go far
toward ameliorating oppressive condi
tons and the hope is expressed thai
by its application ''the operation OF
natural laws may IN an appreciablt
degree alleviate existing conditions

One thing the Lessler bribery case is

The expert mot Officially estimate OF our
wheat crop for the last year is 700, 800, 900
bushels, and the same authority places our
corn crop at 2,5s9, s51, 900 bushels. which
equals the output OF wheat for the entire
world in 1900.
We are told by government authority that
our crop OF cereals for a single year is
80, 900, 900 tons. Let us try to get hold Of
these figures SO that they will mean some
thing to us. How long a train OF cars
would be required to ship this crop, allow
ing forty feet outside measurement to each
car and ten tons Of grain to each?
II we had a double track betting the globe
at the equator, these cars loaded with our
grain crop for a single year would fill both
tracks solid. and then enough would be
sidetracked to reach from New York to
San Francisco six times.

Washington TOSI.
Coal oil that was retailed at 10 cents a
gallon last June has been for some weeks
selling at Is cents. IS everybody knows,
the former price, and even the lowest price
that prevailed at various prior periods,
yielded enormous profits and piled up fabu-
Ious fortunes for a few men. The Post has
never failed to recognize all the good points
of the oil trust. That it sold an excellent
quality of oil at a seemingly low price we
cheerfully conceded. and we paid due trib-
ute to the splendid business capacity of Mr..
Rockefeller and his associates. But this
rushing up Of the cost Of fuel in order to
augment profits that already exceeded 1.-The

members that all of those millions go to the
Golfers into which hundreds of millions had
been gathered before this time Of distress
began, when one reads OF or hears or sees
the sickness and death and cruel sufferings
incident to lack Of fuel. one cannot help
thinking thoughts that had better not be
printed. The only advantage of such
thoughts is that they warm one up.

The conversational versatility OF your
American girls astonishes me-" said the
Englishman who was approaching the close
of his first month in New York. mot only
do l find that in society the young women
have quickness Of perception and readiness
Of repartee, but l have found that in the
downtown restaurants, where girls are en-
ployed as Mattresses, they are extremely
handy with their retorts."
Been trying to Jolly 'em a bit, h?" said
the college graduate, who was finishing off
in Uncle Jim's Wall street office.
mot at all-not at ALL" replied the
Englishman hastily. my observations are
based on what l hear them saying to other
men. The girls are quite bright, y'know."
What led you to think them otherwise %
said the American citizen.
Il did not look for the quality Of glib
ness in girls of that class" said the man
from London. "In eating places on the
other side, the mattresses never talk to
you, not even after you have been going to
the restaurant every day for months. Here
in New York it is vastly different. And
they seem to know where you are from,
too.
Il went to my usual restaurant today.
There was a new girl at my table, and the
one who usually waits on me was a sort of
assistant head waitress. She came over to
the girl at my table before l had a chance
to tell what l wanted and said:
Bring the gent a rasher of bacon, two
eggs, underdone, a toasted muffin and tea.
Is there anything else ?" and she looked at
me. l said that would be all right, and
remarked that the weather was changeable,
and what do you think she said?"
Something equally bright, l suppose -
remarked the college man.
The Englishman eyed him a moment.
II wonder If she was poking fun at me?" he
said. well, she just answered: we
have so many foreigners in New York WI
have to have all kinds of weather to suit
'em. This is not our day for English
weather, but I hope you won't get tired
waiting for your urn"

By the passage Of title Of the old Bruns-
wick hotel site at Fifth avenue, Twenty
sixth to Twenty seventh streets, and adj
joining property on both sides, II now be-
comes a certainty that the long-talked-of
proposal for the erection Of a mammoth
hotel of modern type on the plot will be
carried through. Some additional facts
about the plans have been made public.
T cost OF the building will be Approxi-
mately SO, 500, 900, making the total cost Of
the enterprise about $4,000, 900. The Hotel
Brunswick company will own and operate
the hotel under the management Of Gustav
Bauman, proprietor of the Holland House.
The building will be twenty stories high,
with frontage OF 1877 feet on Fifth avenue
and 1870 feet on each street. 1t will contain
100 rooms.
In view OF the fact that the carrying
charges on the land in its present condition
are very great, the work OF tearing down
the old building will be begun on February
/, and the new building will be started as
soon after that as possible. It is estimated
that the building will be completed in two
years.

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
nipples on the Current Of Life In the
M~etropolIa.

Emphatic notice has been served upon
wife heaters in New York to stop such
practice or take the consequences. That
class of cowardly thugs have as a rule
enjoyed immunity from punishment for
their brutality because their victims re-
fused to prosecute and for the further
reason that Imprisonment Of the husband
deprived the family of support. In most
cases the latter reason prevented adequate
punishment. But the brutal evil thrived
on ~lentency and other means seemed nee
essary to prevent suffering among the in
nocent, while Justice got in its work with
a club. A fund was raised and placed in
the keeping OF a society having for its
prime object the punishment Of wife-beat-
crs. City magistrates have been notified
that In future they need have no fear for
the families OF the brutes. as the fund is
sufficient to insure 81 a week for wife and
children while the husband is doing time
in the penitentiary. One Of the first cases
under the new plan was heard last week
before Magistrate Higginbotham. A man
named Rice was not only a habitual wife
beater. but he would lay abed all day and
allow his wife to do washing and then take
her meager earnings after inficting brutal
beatings. Magistrate Higginbotham said in
sentencing the prisoner: Under a new ar
rangement which has been made, Rice, we
will see that your wife and family are
taken care of. l am going to sentence you
to six months. You are no good, and in
future any wife-beater who comes before
me will get the limit. You will go up on
Riker's Island for six months and break
stones, and when you are released, II you
touch your wife again your punishment
will be more severe"
