TRUST QUESTION
CONGRESSMAN HEARST WOULD
HAVE 1T INVESTIGATED.
RESOLUTIONS FOR COMMITTEE
Evil Effects of the Great Combinations
Recited-Means Already Existing to
Curb Trusts Ought to Be RigdIy En-
forced.

| WASHINGTON. d. C.-Rcpresenta-
| tive Hearst of New York on Friday in
troduced resolutions providing for an
investigation of the trust question by
a committee Of five members of the
| house. The resolutions contain ten
clauses, reciting the evil effects OF
| trusts on the country, among them be-
| ing the following:
Numerous illegal combinations
known as trusts have been formed to
absorb or eliminate competition and
establish virtual monopolies with a
! view TO controlling production and
raising the price OF their products.
Such extortionate trusts as the
beef trust and the coal trust and the
ice trust have arbitrarily increased the
cost OF the necessities of life to the
public.
Such speculative trusts as the ship
yards and the steel trust have inflated
their stock to many times it's actual
values and sold to the public, transfer
ing the peoples money from banks and
legitimate investments into the pOck
cts of trust promoters and spectators.
industrial unrest has been foment
ed by the increased cost of living and
by the consequent necessary efforts of
labor to make its wages keep pace
with the increased cost of living.
Such trusts as the steel trust. in
spite OF the increased cost of living,
have ruthlessly cut down the wages of
hundreds of thousands of employees in
order to pay dividends on Watered
stock, and other trusts have wholly
collapsed, throwing hundreds of thou
sands of workmen out Of employment.
The purchasing power of the COM
munity has been diminished by the ac-
tions of the trusts by unsound methods,
which have misled the people, swim
died them and robbed them of their
savings.
All classes of the community are
being made to feel the evil effect of
OF the unrestrained greed and lawless
practices Of the trusts
The committee is directed to inform
the house fully on the trust situation,
to the end that more effective laws
may be prepared and passed by con-
gress, regulating and restrictly COM
binations. The committee is empow-
cred to send for persons and papers.
An additional resolution states that
1t is the sense of this house. and it
does recommend, that the laws al
ready existing against the trusts be
in the meanwhile enforced by the ex-
ecutive branch of this government and
the legal representative thereof"
The resolutions were referred to the
committee on rules.

LABORS laid out
WHAT BOTH HOUSES OF CON-
GRESS WILL DO THIS WEEK.
KNOTTY QUESTIONS TO DECIDE
The Postoffice, Military Academy and
Sundry Civil Appropriation Bills in
House-lndian and Pension Meas
ures in the Senate.

WASHINGTON postoffice, the
military academy and the sundry civil
appropriation bills constitute the work
mapped out for the house this week.
On Monday the house will adjourn
early owing to the death of Represent
atiye Thompson of Alabama. The
postoffice bill is pending and several
knotty questions. such as rural free
delivery salaries. railway mail subsi-
dies and railway mail service. are like
Iy to prolong its consideration for sew
eral days.
The military academy bill is not
likely to consume much time. The
sundry civil bill will probably be ready
the latter part of the week and its
consideration will extend into the fol-
lowing week. Present indications are
that no other matters of importance
are likely to be injected into the week.
Postoffice reports will be cared for
hereafter by the Mccall committee,
which is to sit in open session during
the week
be devoted almost entirely TO appro-
priation bills, beginning Tuesday with
that for the District of Columbia and
following with the Indian and pension
bills. Neither the District nor the In
dian bill has been reported from COM
mittee. but both are promised early
in the week. and they will take prcce
dence over the pension bill. notwith-
standing the latter is now on the cal
endar.
The pension bill is held for possible
additions made necessary by addition
al legislation, but its consideration
will not be lorg delayed. 1t is not eX-
pected there will be any effort to in
crease the amount carried b. the bill
On account of the recent executive Or
der Whatever may be required to
carry the order into effect will be in
corporated in a general deficiency bill.
Unobjected bills on the calendar will
be taken up Monday and further con-
sideration may be given Senator Fair
banks bill providing for new depart
ment building in this city.

For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21-
Mrs. A. L. Smith of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends
ton by the following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last week
and would then pass off. In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
of her eyes would be yellow.
''The doctors gave us no encour-
agement, they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had
one bad spell. Of course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about dozen boxes, and we
still give them to her occasionally,
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.

interests

Is for the Benefit OF All Legitimate
Interests.
WASHINGTON.-Tb attorney gen.
eral. being asked concerning the mer-
ger decision, said:
My views OF the decision cannot
be better expressed than in the Ian
guage of one OF the best known rail
road presidents in the United States
upon the decision in favor of the
government by the court below. He
said: The decision Is sound law,
good and for the benefit OF all legiti-
mate interests and for the countrys
welfare, and it voices the judgment
Of probably nine-tenins of the most
conservative business men of the
country
AS to the bearing upon other rail-
roads, l have this to say: The gov
ernment has never claimed that the
law is any broader than it's language
plainly indicates.
During the trial and argument
the government paid no heed to the
defendants contention that the
makeup of substantially all the great
American systems OF railroads was on
trial. The governments position was
then, that the question before the
court was as to the validity of the
Northern Securities device"

why did the angels walk up and down

usual humiliating and miserable es-
cape by returning, What little boy

Hope for Apple Growers.

Apple growers in recent years have
noticed largely increased damage by
the codling moth. This, pest appears
in the form of a small brownish moth
soon after the young apples have set
Its eggs, laid on the side of the fruit
or even on the leaves. give rise to
tiny worms which enter the young
apples and develop into full grown
apple worms.
The annual loss to apple growers
in the United States from this pest
alone is enormous. Such a pest could
not long escape attention from the
scientific sleuths of the Experiment
Stations. These workers have tracked
the beast to its lair, watched it's hab-
its of life and devised weapons for
its destruction.
A recent bulletin by the Della
ware Experiment Station shows that
nearly all damage by the codling
moth can be checked by spraying
with certain arsenical spray called
Disparcne soon after the blossoms fall
from the trees. Applied to trees
it pOisOns the young insects in
infancy and prevents further damage
to the crop. 1t has also been found a
complete and effective remedy for the
canker worm, curculio and other in
sects that attack orchards and work
great havoc Herewith.
In his bulletin, ISntomoiogist San
derson of the Delaware Station, gives
the result or a careful series of ex-
periments in which he says, ''Dispa-
rene proved to be very much superior

percentage of codling. moth larvae
than has ever been done in any SINH
lar experiment. One thing which
seems to me to make Disparene Of
special value is its adhesive quail

remained on the trees all summer.
The results which we secured from
Disparene were both surprising and
gratifying"
Professor J. g. Smith, EntomolCgist
of the T:ew Jersey Experiment Sta

words, "Disparene has proved thor
oughly satisfactory and safe wher-

has been so satisfactory this year
