characterize the governments action as

chara eterizs the governments action IS
"high handed" They say the section
of the law just invoked for the fist time,
is only aimed to give the federal su-
thorities final power to stop an illegtl
corporation doing business, after II has
been so declared by the courts, in c'ss
of q refusal to obey the courts
order. These lawyers declare that
the law makers never intended to give
the federal authorities the off-hand right
to stamp a corporation as illegal and
furnish them the weapon of drastic en-
forcement, without due process of law.
1t is probable tina, the case will get into
the Supreme Court on this constitutional
question. 1t is understood from high
source that the Norfolk seizuref was
made for the particular purpose OF noii-
tviug "bad trusts" that ths government
was losing patience over legal delays,
aud that If this policy we're persisted In,
wholesale sale seizures by the govern
msnt would follow. owe are sincerely
desirious OF knowing just what the anti
trpst and Interstate Con- merce Ia"
meac." said another lsw thicer of the
government today. 1.-The subterfuges,
eyssions, and legal quibbleS OF the trusts
are becoming very annoying. 1t is
likely that when some of these gigantic
combinations see what we eau, and may
do, they may find it to their OVID selfish
interests to expedite ruling from the
highest tribunal Gu all controverted que'-
tiOns."
Secretary Cortelyou left for New York
this afternoon to look into the financial
situation personally. Before leaving be

close touch with business conditions
throughout the country. In the matter
Of public deposits he will at all times
consult the needs of Legitimate business
interests and will not hesitate to deal
promptly and adequately with any stu
alton that may arise" A rumor was
circulated here this afternoon that Sec
rotary Cortelyou intended relieving The
fnar cisl situation in New York City,
by deposi!iDg $40, 900, 900 of govern
ment funds in Two of the largest bsnks.

Is; decrease ever registered by the
bureau. At the s.me time, however,
the amount Of pensions Was greater by
$4,6l3,lSl. Il seems that the amount
OF money paid TO pensioners is never to
