TO REACH HARMFUL TRUSTS
PROPOSED TO SUBMIT THE CUES
TON TO A JURY.
Plan Of John r. Dos Passos Submitted
to the President, Who Will Trans
NIT It to the Attorney General.

new plan for amending the antitrust
law was presented to the President yester-
day by Francis B. LOOMS formerly assist
ant secretary OF state. Mr. Loomis is not
the author Of the plan, but John R. Dos
Passos OF New York, who is regarded an
authority on corporation law. The essence
OF the plan is a radical change in the pres
ent antitrust law 1t aims to restrain only
corporations and combinations that are
harmful to the public, and does not make
the mere fact Of combination and monopoly
unlawful. 1t also puts the power to proceed
against any combination into the hands of
any citizen where the district attorney
falls to refuse to act, and makes the jury
that tries the case judge Of whether or
not the combination has been proven HARM
full or oppressive. The proposition provides
that the district attorney shall proceed in
the court against any corporation that in
his opinion needs prosecution.
The jury, from the evidence presented,
decides whether the combination Is harm
full. A penalty of fine and Imprisonment
Is provided with the power of the court to
force dissolution Of the combination.
II the district attorney fails or refuses to
act any Individual citizen through his own
attorney can bring the same sort of a
prosecution against the alleged trust, which
can be served with papers and compelled to
return an answer within twenty days.
1t would require an act OF Congress to
amend the antitrust law and put the new
procedure into effect, but 1t Is claimed by
Mr.. Dos Passos that the prosecution would
effect what the law now aims at but is not
framed to reach, namely. the elimination Of
the harmful trusts without touching those
that are really helpful to business by cheap
enng production through combination.
The President received the draft of the
new law and held 1t for presentation to the
Attorney General.

gates elected directly by the people, they
have increased my many obligations to
them by coupling with the Endorsement of
the administration of Theodore Roosevelt

Il note the conventions reference to the
fact that as Attorney General and senator

and carrying into legislation and judicial
decision those just policies for the protec-
ton of the people which have so greatly
endeared President Roosevelt to the people
l value the action of the convention APP
proving such public service as l have peeh
enabled to render in the past with satis-
faction not exceeded by my gratitude TOT
the unsolicited pledge of support for higher
honors and graver duties for the future.
II have too profound a sense OF the olg-
nifty of the chief magistracy ana TOO lhtl-
mate q knowledge of Its labors and respon-
sibilities to have sought this indorsement.
If. however, the wishes Of Pennsylvania
republicans and the reasons they assign
for their action should commend them
selves to the republican national conven-
ton, would accept it's action with full ap-
probation of it's import.
Senator Knox added that he should have
nothing further to say at present concern
ing his candidacy. Accompanied by Mrs.
Knox, he has been visiting friends here.
