 THE PUBLICITY given Judge Wicker sham's letter to Governor Brady enab- les the people to realize that Wicker sham is still manipulating his political shell game. The nefar;ous schemes which have been adopted to shield him self and appointees in special 'inxesti- gations" and from public exposure and criticism, fully e'emons tra ses tEe fact that he is seeking an appointive, and not an elective office. Owing to him proclaiming that certain matter incor- poratedin in the governors annual report for 1904, relative to the judicial aud political administration of affair, m the Third judicial division, to be ia SC, we deem it in order and politically legiti- mate to ask Judge Wckersham the following questions he being a canoi- date for public office.

SWEEPING ANTITRUST BILL.
Measure designed to Drive All Monop-

Measure designed to Drive All Monop-
olies Out Of Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 2s.-To
prevent the formation of trusts In
Illinois In the future and to force the
dissolution of any that may now exist
is the purpose Of a bill which has
been prepared by Attorney General W..
H. Stead and which will be introduced
in the Legislature within a few days.
The Stead antitrust bill is more COM
prehensive in its definition of what
constitutes trust than any measure
heretofore passed in the Illinois Legis-
lature. 1t also confers on the Attorney
General greater power with regard to
the prosecution of such combinations.
The bill follows, mainly, the antitrust
act of 1893, which was declared uncon-
stitutional by the Supreme Court be-
cause of clause exempting agricul-
tural products from it's operation. But
the definition of trust is widened in
the Stead bill by new clause, which
includes combinations among insurance
companies, banks or any form of busi-
ness. His new definition reads:
ITO combine in any agency or asso-
citation, or join In any contract or
agreement to establish uniform or nom
competitive rates of interest, insurance
or compensation to be charged for loan
of money or guarantee of indemnity
for loss of life or property, but acci-
dent, casualty or disease"
This clause would reach directly
organizations like insurance under
writers. The bill empowers the Attor-
ney General to proceed by injunction
to prevent the formation, operation or
continuance of a trust. 1t is expected
that the measure will pass.

Special Dispatch to IN. Call


ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 23.-Ja-
pans peace overtures have been re-
5ected and the war will continue.
There are persistent rumors that bat
tie is being fought below Mukden, and
while they are not confirmed by press
advices the indications are that some
important movement is impending.
BERLIN, Feb. 23.-The Emperor Of
Russia has elected to continue the war
His position is absolutely firm and the
German court has been advised in that
sense. The war will be pressed with
the utmost energy, the domestic situa-
ton being now within the control of
the authorities.
The Emperor's reasons for deciding
20 continue the war are:
First-The judgment Of the chiefs OF
the army that Field Marshal Oyana
not only cannot defeat General Kuro-
pstkin, but stands in danger Of defeat
Russia TO ask for mercy with all the
men and money essential TO a success

Second-Au the forces OF criticism

legitimate interests, and for having
failed to win victories would be con-

Government. A Government that
would crave peace of Russia's enemy

when the time comes for a settlement
with Russia she will ignore the neutral

nations will agree upon a division of
