F. Kent Loomis disappeared from the

the vessel returned TO New York. his
brother, the Assistant Secretary OF
State. talked with all the officers and
employees on the ship and was convinced
after his conversation with them that
the missing man did not nave an enemy
among the passengers or crew,
Press dispatches have intimated that
William H Ellis, Mr.. Loomis travelling
companion. may know more than he
cares to tell about the disappearance OF
Mr. Loomi.. The two men shared the
same stateroom on the Kaiser Wilhelm
fl. and room stewards say they We're on

Ellis Misjudged.
State Department officials discredit
the story that Ellis was greatly ag-
grieved because he was not permitted TO
carry the Abyssinian treaty to King
Menelik. They feel that an injustice is
done Mr. Ellis IN the statements that
this may have provoked him TO assault
MIR Loouis.
Assistant Secretary LOOMS is now
convinced that the Identification of the
body found at Plymouth as that OF his
brother is complete. He has had no
dispatches today from London which
give any further particulars concerning
the induest than are contained In press

A DWlNDLING sSUE

AS the trust question seems likely 10
be one of the burning issues of TIE com
ing political campaign, it might be a
wise proceeding for political spellbind-
ers to make an actual inspection OF the
BODY CT the octopus and decide whether
the line shall be baited with minows or
a iarpoon used. A consideration of sta
tistics indicates that the monster is IN
a bad way and it's menace is not nearly
so terrifying as has been supposed.
York Stock exchange show that during
the past six months new securities hstea
by corporations amounted approximately
to s4l, 900, 900. compared with $3.50 900, 900 IN
1900, 1916, 900, 600 In 1902 and $1,000 zoo, 900 in
1901, when the trust movement was at Its
height. This seems to indicate that the
era of the big combination is at a stand
still, although it may be claimed the de-
cltnc IN Incorporation Is uue 10 the idet
th.s. little material is left for Mr.. Nor
gan IL work upon-nearly~ everything has
lccn confined. Possibly this view Is cor
ret. il which event It may he enlighten-
ir:: to cor ider tn, C. ordinations already
made to judge whether the plan is so
successful as to ~foreshadow further ex-
tension.
Eliminating STANDARD Oil. which was
In existence before the present trust era,
n United States Steel corporation. I'M
doubtedly is the most striking example
a. .~ombination. 1t may be a success in
dustrially, but the holders of common
stock are not likely to be dragged into a
similar enterprise very soon. No one
can be heard singing the praise of the
asphalt. salt, shipbuilding. transatlantic
shipping and other practically defunct
trusts. except the promoters. and even
they may be compelled to disgorge. This
experience of investors is on the same
wane and the octopus Is not greatly to be
feared.
What the country really has suffered
from Is not so much the Industrial meth
DDS of combines. but the fnancia oper-
atoms of their promoters. AS a remedy
for this laws are not needed to interfere
with the national tendency of trade so
much as an enforcement OF existing stat
utes against theft. and In such cases the
lower courts have sufficient jurisdiction.
AS a political question the trust is not
so big an issue as 1t was two or three
years ago.
