Commissioner Calls Sherman Act
Most Mischievous Piece of

He Advocates Central Control
and Regulation Of Trans

CHICAGO, ILL, September 14.-"I
believe the most mIschfeyous piece of
legislation In the history of the coun-
try is the Sherman antitrust law, as
interpreted by the United States Su-

citation of Freight Traffic Managers.
Nearly all the large railways of the
United States. Canada and Mexico were
represented. Chairman Knapp addressed
the assemblage. advocating combina-

of transportation lines.
For Central Control.
"The axiom, competition is the life

reforms. The constant friction of un-
hridled competition has become irk-

wide financial federation."
In further reference to the Sherman
law, he said: f"The one public man who
has dared fearlessly TO- express his
opinion on the Injustice Of the Supreme

NEW YORK. September 14.-slr
Thomas Lipton's challenge for the
Americas cup was the chief subject OF
among yachtsmen in New
York to-day. Although the formal
challenge will not be received here
for four or five days, members of the
New York Yacht Club, the holder OF
the trophy which the schooner America
brought from England in 1851, have
known for some weeks that it was to
be made and have already made plans
for the defense of the cup.
1t is understood among members of
the New York Yacht Club that Sir
Thomas Upton will add a number of
conditions to his challenge. One OF
these is expected to be that the race
shall be under the new measurement
rule adopted by the New York Yacht
Club.
woiif have a much better chance OF
hitting the cup and the race would ' \ =
be in ali respects fair, as the deed OF
the gift of the cup provides that Ine
challenger must cross 3tne ocea,, i h"ilt hnt
racing nachine that after the races
would go TO the junk heap. and that
Gould not stand the strain of q long
ocean trip. The application. of the new
rule to tho contest would eliminate
such machines. and put the defender
nearer on a par with the challenger
in the matter of construction.
VIII Test Two Boats.
1t is also said that Sir Thomas Will
ask the privilege of challenging In the
name of two yachts, the races to pc

better In the preliminary; trials.
1t is likely that this condition VIII
he acceded to by the New York Yacht
Club. as the same privilege was grant

lenged for the cup. although he die
not avail himself of It.
Plans are already we'll under way

defend the cup. -Four syndicates have
been formed In the New York Yacht
club. it is said. for the purpose o1
building yachts to contest for this
honor of defending the cup, and 1t Is
