IT seems that many OF tho atrocities
that are committed abroad can be
duplicated here in America. Should
one write OF the abduction OF an active,
intelligent business man and the hold
ing OF him for ransom. We would SET
a down as, ,an unlikely romance; yet
that seems to have actually occurred.
We wondered how # was possible for
the -brigands TO hold Ellen NJ. Stone
while the government was endeavoring
to secure her release. yet over in West
Virginia desperadoes sometime since
captured Edward L. wentz. and have
been holding him ever since. Yester-
day his relatives received a letter
from him saying that he was being held
for 100000 ransom. The West vir-
ginla militia should be sent with it.

nnany years ago there was no. provision
IN this State for the care sof deranged
persons. These unfortunatesz were
either sent to institutions out OF the
state or cared FOR by relatives and
friends. It was an sintolerable burden
10 many and it was impossible IN rnest
instances to give the 'aiiiicted persons
such care as they required; and that
medical attention which .frequentiy
works cure. was in most instances
impossible. ~. .+ri.- ~, ~.

Yesterday the public was invited n
inspect a new building that Fhas bs9n
made necessary by the other hurhfne
work that has been prosecuted AZ
Farnhurst. A hospital for Sthe itifeatl

are men and women who by their IN

The state has done well, but there
always another duty. For Delaware a
duty Is to establish a State institute

the head of the service when the eX-

of the blame, although great deal
of the rottenness was handed down

Collecting the Evdence-Fedefa Of
Revealing the f acts.

Washington, July 1&=-Announce
ment will be made in a short time of
proceedings that the government has
taken against certain monOpOIStic cor
porations engaged in interstate trade.
The facts regarding this matter are
being closely covered up, but those
in charge of it admitted that steps had
been taken to institute proceedings
in the collection Of evidence on which
that was operating in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
1t is learned also that the bureau
of corporations is cooperating with
the legal branch of the government
in the collection of evidence on fhich
the government suits will be brought.
Assistant Attorney General Day. who
has been closely identified in all the
federal prosecutions of the trusts OF
late years, has been comforting with

ol I1~.k. -.as. a--s-- .-.:.-> s4Aa4&
neys in different parts of the coun-
tly. and the preparation Of the cases
has been under way for some time.
1t is likely that suits similar to that
which was recently terminated in the
United States court at Mcago, by
Which a decision was secured dissolv-
ing an unlawful coal combine. are to
be brought. 1t was stated at the de-
partment of justice about five weeks
ago that evidence was being gath
cred against several trusts whose op-
eratoons were known to be in viola
ton of the law, the only thing that
was necessary to bring the suits being
evidence. Owing to the reSicence
that is displayed by Commissioners OF
Corporations Garfield and Judeg Day
If is impossible to learn to what eX-
tent the newly established bureau OF
corporations is assisting in the col
lection of evidence.
Mr.. Garfield stated today that he
had received number of letters and
petitions from PERSONS alleging that
certain corporations were violating
TIE federal antitrust laws. Nothing
has been done toward investigating
these statements, Commissioner Gar
field says, beyong acknowledging the
letters of complaint. Commissioner
Garfield declines to say what the pu-
reau is doing and has no idea when
he will be prepared to submit a re-
port cf his operations to the president.
He expects to see the president at
OYSTER Bay and will confer with him
ro,ra1ng the nature of report he is
t. submit.
