ANTITRUST BILL
To SOON PASS
Indications Are That 1t viii
Go Through Before End
of Week
THE DEBATE WILL Be LIMITED

Senators Generally Believe Some Con-
servative Measure Will Pass tho
Senate - The Presidents Views
Adopted.
Washington, Jan. 19.-The indica-
tions are that the present week will
witness tho passage by the house OF
the antitrust measure which is pre-
pairing by the judiciary committee. The
subcommittee which is at work On tho
bill expect TO have it ready 10 report
to the full committee tomorrow, and
no delay is expected in the full com
mittee. II is still possible that a sep
arate measure will be reported to
cover the publicity features. AS soon
as the measure or measures are re-
ported everything will be side-tracked
and they will be brought into the
house. The leaders already have
agreed TO this course, and a special
order for consideration will be pre-
pared.
No decision has yet been reached as
to the length of time which will be al
lowed for discussion, or whether op-
pOrtunity will be given for amend
ment. The Democrats will desire ex-
tended debate. but owing to the late
ness of the session it is not probable
that more than two days at most will
be allowed. 1t is more likely to be a
single day. At least the members Of
the subcommittee which is preparing
the bill is of opinion that a day will
be ample.
The question OF opening the bill to
amendment presents many difficultea
and in order to prevent a food of
propositions Of all sorts the rule prob
ably viii limit the amendments at
least to those pending when the time
allotted Tor consideration expires.
The trust question is receiving no
little attention at the hands of sena.
tors, but their talk is confined largely
to the cloalTooms. Tho members of
Senator Hoer's subcommittee are Civ.
ing attention to the subject as indi
viduals. but will postpone formal con
sideration OF the question until the
house shall act, unless it becomes ap-
parent that action there will be post.
poned too long. Senators generally
express the opinion that some con-
servative trust measure will be gotten
through during the present session,
but all of them recognize the difficulty
of agreeing on a measure affecting
such important principles as will any
bill on the subject OF trusts.
It was stated that the trust legisla-
ton would include the three points
which the president considers indis-
pensable. It will provide for reason
able publicity in the case of all cor
porations having monopolies, FOR the
prevention of rebates and for the ad-
vancement of cases in the courts un-
der the Sherman antitrust law. This
legislation may be handled in the sen
ate by the committee on interstate
commerce rather than by the commit
tee on the judiciary.
There were several officials promi.
nent in legislative and executive cir.
cles at the White House in conference
with the president last night Among
them was Attorney General Knox, who
remained with Mr.. Roosevelt some
time. It is supposed the trust ques.
ton was considered.

Regular Republicans to reach tho State

Of the Regulars would be arranged for
this morning.
"Then have you not considered the
Democratic overtures to deal on the

1--WE have not. In fact, how can We
take it up? The Democrats make their
offer to The People of Delaware They
have directed nothing to us. Whom
shall we answer?"
Senator Sparks said
There Is nothing before us as yet"
From other sources It is CLEANED that
the Regulars may decide It not wise TO
act until the Democrats have addressed
their proposition to each one Of them.
Senator Smith, Democrat. says:
IF the Regular Republicans invent
any loophole of escape, or in any way
ovade or reject this Democratic pro-
offer to wipe out Addicks, the great
fortress behind which they have been
flghting-the support Of the American
press and people-will fall. It is clear
