Oppressive Capital De-
nounced by Professor
Whitaker of Stanford

BERKELEY, July 16.-Students who
listened today to Professor Albert
Whitaker of Stanford University's eco
nomics department harshly criticise
the trusts recalled the episode of Pro-
fessor Ross, and wondered if a replica
of that afAir OF years ago is to be
provided by DR.. Whitaker.
The Stanford man, who is now a
member of the faculty of the summer
school at the State University. is rated
as an authority on economics, having
recently been called, to Columbia Uni
versity to deliver special course of
lectures in September on the railroaod
rate problem in its relation to the
Government.
The trusts have been a subject of
especial study by Professor Whitaker,
and his class was informed today that
the big fortunes OF the trust magnates
cannot be considered legitimate and
that the trust methods in so far as
they include the sitting of competition
will eventually bring about the un-
doing of capital.
the steel trust, Professor Whitaker
said today:
Beyond question, 1t is a fallacy to
suppose that the great fortunes in
volved in the ownership OF such trust
as this were legitimately acquired.
They could not have been acquired
where competition, fair field for all,
and legitimate operations were in evil

to stifle competition, or to control the
supply of commodities necessary to a

is high time the state should assume
more than a passive attitude in the
matter.
directed in the interests Of the majority
of the public, is enehcial-a good
thing; but when corporation of the sort
in evidence on every hand in abundance
destroys competition and so enables
trust interests to hlch from the con-
sumer as well as the producer-though
really the two have identical interests
when this cooperation of interests
makes and unmakes laws solely in the
interest of the minority, then the day
is fastened when capital in the form OF
about its own complete downfall.
Capital has no business in politics,
inaSmuch as its workings in that field
are altogether for it's own selfish inter-
est and not in the interests of the pub
lic or the benefit of society at large.
At the close of his lecture Professor
Whitaker assured his student hearers
that his denunciation of present indus
trial conditions should not be taken to
mean that he is of socialistic tenden-
cies and that his eulogy of the benefits
Of cooperation should not be regarded
as a defense of that sort of co-opera-
ton sometimes looked upon as being
the same as socialism.

PARENTS FORGIVE HIM
AFTER CHARGING crime
Harry K, Davis Elopes. Is Mar
ried and Now Has His
Freedom.

OAKLAND, July IA sequel to the
elopement in March of this year of
Harry K. Davis of this city and Miss
Lulu Hennig, the daughter of Albert
Hennig, whose home is at Eighth and
Wood streets, developed this morning
when Davis, who since his eIopement
with Miss Hennig has been wanted by
the Oakland police on a felony charge,
walked into the city prison and gave
himself up to Captain of Police Peter
sen.
Davis at the time he ran away with
Miss Hennig was already married and
had brought suit for divorce against
his wife in Seattle. The suit had not
been decided, and when he secretly
married Lulu Hennig he committed big
amy. When the father of the young
lady learned that the man who had
eloped with his daughter already had
a wife he at once swore to a complaint
chargingsDavis with bigamy.
The young man learned that the
police were looking for him and fed
from the city. According to his story
told to the police this morning, he re-
mained away until he was legally sep
arated from his first wife and then re-
turned, going at once to the Hennig
home and expressing his desire that
Lulu become HIS wife. This the par
ents of the girl consented to, and the
pair were married in San Jose about a
month ago.
This morning Davis, accompanied by
his father-in-law, called at the police
station and after giving himself up ex-
planned the circumstances to the cap
tain. The latter submitted the case to
Police Judge Samuels, who, after hear
ing the story of the young man, re-
leased him on his own recogni-
zance. The charge against him will in
all probability be dismissed when the
case is called in the Police Court to-
morrow morning.

The general problem OF good water

for these purposes is a sandy one and
whenever a rocky OF clayey soil gives

Two points must ne recognized here.
Such a covering Of the well that the
grave danger of surface pollution may
be avoided, for il is most essential that
no pollution should be washed through
