TRUST REGULATION
UNDER SUPERVISION OF DEPART
MENT OF COMMERCE.
Provision for Bureau of Insurance and
Corporations Inserted in Bill at
Presidents Request.

The proposed regulation of trusts, Il
authorized by Congress, will be conducted
under the supervision of the new depart
ment of commerce and labor. The report
Of the House interstate commerce commit
tee favora bly, reporting substitute for the
Senate bill, which was presented today by
Representative Mann of Chicago, makes
provision for bureau Of insurance and
corporations which shall be under the super
vision of the secretary Of the new depart
ment. This bureau, officially announced
by Representative Mann, is intended to be
the vehicle of the executive branch Of the
government for carrying into effect the pro-
posed legislation on the subject Of trust
combinations.
At Request of President.
The provision for the bureau of insurance
and corporations in the bill was at the
direct request of President Roosevelt. The
President has held several conferences with
Mr.. Mann since the latter was instructed
by the interstate and foreign commerce
committee to write the report on the new
department. and in this regard the report
was drafted in compliance with the recon-
mendations made by President Roosevelt
at these meetings.
In his talks with the members of the
House who have been prime movers for
the department OF commerce anu ldUOI the
President has made it plain that he does
not desire any legislation which will be
impractical or which will prove burden
to small corporations. For this reason he
will while he would have the publicity
provisions Of the antitrust bill as rigid
and effective as words can make them,
also have them so drafted that the
secretary Of commerce and labor would
have some discretion in their enforcement.
Aimed at But Few Corporations.
There are thousands Of corporations in
the country doing interstate commerce
business, but the present antitrust crusade
Of the administration is aimed at but COM
paratively few Of them. Mr.. Roosevelt
is said to understand that it would prove a
great burden on many of the smaller cor
pora tionS should they be forced to file re-
ports with the secretary Of commerce and
labor, and that there would be no particu-
lar object in their doing
Consequently he believes, he has told Wis
1ting statesmen, that the true solution of
the publicity problem lies in the appoint
ment of a board under the secretary of
commerce and labor which shall have au-
thority to investigate trusts and require
them to file reports concerning their
methods of business whenever ordered to
President believes, according to these
statesmen, would permit the enforcement
of antitrust legislation against those cor
porations which actually are offending and
would permit those which are conduc ting
their business in compliance with the law
and public policy to continue unmolested
and unburdened.

COMMISSION MEETS
More Testimony Regarding
the Miners Strike.
NON-UNION MEN HEARD
WAGE STATEMENT OF INDEPEN-
DENT COMPANIES FILED.
.IndCo Grow S,,rrr;coI 70 uoor CooI
Judge Gray Surprised to Hear Coal
Operators Paid Salaries Of
Deputies.

PHILADELPHIA, January 6.-After q
recess over the holidays, the anthracite
coal strike commission resumed its work
today of hearing the non-union mems side
of the controversy In the great industrial
war in the anthracite coal regions during
the past year. The sessions of the COM
mission in this city are being held in the
United States circuit court room in the fed
eral building. and 1t is expected that fully
month will be occupied in taking the testi-
mony of the non-union men, the coal oper-
ators and the mine workers in rebuttal.
When the commission adjourned at Scran-
ton the miners had closed their case, and
the non-union men were engaged in pre-
senting their side of the conflict Up to the
holiday recess the lawyers for the nom
union men had taken up about three days
in calling witnesses who testified to acts Of
violence, boycotting and intimidation al
legged to have been committed by members
of the miners union. The witnesses heard
were principally from the upper region, in
the vicinity of Scranton and Wiikesbarre.
The session began at IL o'clock. The
court room was we'll filed when the COM
missonerS filed in and took their seats. All
the prominent attorneys were; present ex-
cepting c. S. Darrow, leading counsel for
the miners, who was delayed in the west.
Independent Companies Wage State
ment.
The first business brought up was the
presentation by their counsel of the wage
statements of several of the small inde-
pendent coal companies in the HaxIeton
region.
John ]. Williams a mining engineer, en-
ployed by the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company, was the first witness. He told
how he was set upon and beaten while on
his way to work, but he could not swear
that the strikers committed the assault.
Sheriff Schadt of Lackawanna county
gave in detail his experiences during the
strike and finally his call upon Gov Stone
fop assistance. The sheriff said that Presi-
dent Mitchell had several times assisted
him in preventing trouble.
President Mitchell croSS-examined Sheriff
Schadt, and the latter admitted that he
the coal companies had paid for. He would
not say that general state of lawieSSness
prevailed in the county, but reign of ter
ror existed in some localities.
Why Did Not the County PayP
Gen. Wilson asked the sheriff why the
county did not pay the deputy sherfffs, and
counsel for the witness explained that It
was the law in Pennsylvania that the COM
pany pay the cost for protection.
Chairman Gray. evidently surprised at
the statement, said: "I am not familiar
with such an un-American law. When the
county or the state relinquishes the duty Of
maintaining order, protecting life and
keeping the peace then matters are reach
ing sorry state"
Three additional witnesses were heard.
after which a recess was taken until 2:15.

BLAZE IN A HOTEL

CHICAGO. January 6.-Three persons lost
their lives and a fourth was fatally injured
in a fire at the Hotel Somerset. an eight
story brick structure at Wabash avenue and
18th street early today. Three of the VIC
Tins Mrs. L. T. Perry, aged thirty-five, and
her two daughters, eight and nine years old,
respectively, were burned or suffucated to
death in their room on the fourth floor.
The fourth VICTIM woman whose name
has not been learned, jumped from the
window of a room on the same floor to the
street and was fatally hurt
William A. Parker, a guest, jumped from
the window of a room on the fourth floor
to the roof Of a two-story building adjoin-
Ing the hotel. He sustained broken ankle
and severe bruises. The financial loss was
about $1,000.
Arrest of the Porter.
A short time after it was discovered that
lives had been lost William Clemons a
porter, was arrested. The police explain
that from what could be learned from
panic-stricken guests the fire originated
mysteriously Clemons was awake, it Is
said, at the time, and the police will hold
him until the fire has been investigated.
There were about 100 guests in the hotel
at the time.
From admissions made by Clemons 1t is
believed that he caused the fire by accident
ally igniting his bedclothes while smoking
a cigarette.
The fourth victim. believed to be Miss
Ethel Saunders. 2535 Indiana avenue, died
in the ambulance on her way to the hos
pitaI She Is said to have been the niece
Of Mrs. Perry.
The injured:
T. w. Parker jumped from window to ad
Joining building two stories below; inter-
nally injured.
Emile Sancacz. cut by broken glass.
c. A. Wrightman, badly cut about face
and hands.
William Pears, elevator boy, affected by
smoke and cut by flying glass.
1t is thought that Mrs. Perry first be-
came aware of the fire and aroused her
daughters. The latter, however, appear to
have been quickly overcome, both having
been found on their beds. while the body of
Mrs. Perry lay on the floor near the win
dow.
Elevator Mans Presence Of Mind.
The elevator conductor ran his car to the
top floor, shouting a warning and carrying
many of the guests from the building.
Although the woman and her daughters
who perished in the fire were registered at
and known about the hotel under the name
OF Perry, Edward Saunders, a coachman
employed on the Soul Side, declared them
to be his wife and daughters, and gave the
names of the children as Rita and Marie
1t was learned, however, that Saunders
was known in Toronto as Perry and as
sumed the former name when he came to
Chicago.
The young woman who died in the ambu-
lance and who was partially Identified as
Ethel Saunders, is now believed to be an
other daughter of Mrs. Perry.

Negotiations Take Favorable Turn

Washington, Special.-The Chinese
minister called upon Secretary Hay at
the State Department and discussed
the Manchurian situation with him.
There is good reason to believe that
the negotiations have taken q more
favorable turn and that the Russian
coup which was expected has been
either abandoned or indefinitely post
poned. 1t is understood that this in
wolves no retreat on the part of the
Russian government from any posi-
ton officially taken. Certain inquiries
were addressed by NJ. Plancon, the
Russian charge at Pekini, to the
Chinese government respecting the
Chinese purpose as to Manchuria. The
Russians hold that these were errone.
ously taken to be set Of demands.
AS matter Of fact they were nothing
but inquiries and, the Chinese answers
being taken as satisfactory. the Rus
sian government has decided to carry
out its original programme for the
evacuation of Manchuria.
