ANTITRUST LAW
CALLED MENACE
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler Declares
1t Was Conceived in
Ignorance.
BUSINESS AND POLITICS"
Banking and Currency Stand First
Among Fundamental Problems
of Government.
BUSINESS

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 19.-An ad-
dress by DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University, was
the feature tonight of the annual din
ner of the Commercial Club, of Kan
sas City. Business and Politics" was
his theme and trusts, railroads and
banking and currency were the econo-
mic problems discussed.
Doctor Butler said in part:
1--WE are now confronted by ques-
lions which are at bottom not politi-
cal in the narrow sense, but economic
These are the questions with which
our political theories and our political
practices are now brought face to face,
and from the consideration of which
they cannot escape. They are ques-
lions of what is called business. The
most urgent matters for the Ameri-
can people to settle today and to set
tie right relate to the fundamental
principles which shall control their
political policies, as these policies are
related to business.
Three, and only three, paths are
open to us. First, we may. if we
choose, adopt the policy of laissez
faire, or let alone, which has been
powerful advocated by political philo-
sophers of high authority.
Second, we may take the opposite
course and endeavor to exercise COL
| lective ownership and control of the
agencies and instrumentalities of pro-
ductive industry and of transportation,
which is socialism.
Third, we may, while preserving to
ourselves the extraordinary moral, eco
nomic and political benefits which
flow from individual initiative and the
adequate reward of Individual endea-
vor, lay the collective hand so heavily
upon business activity that the indi-
vidual's self-interest shall, if it be pos
sible, be held always subordinate to
the common good.
ITO some. like myself, it is suffi-
cient to state these three alternatives
to recommend the one last named.
From this quick preference, however,
many dissent, and their dissent is so
emphatic and so warmly urged that
it may not be passed by without a
hearing.

GAS AND ELECTRICITY
RUNNING THE HUMAN EYE
Cculists Say Modern illumination
Causes Many Diseases of
the Organs of
Sight
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Members Of the
Illuminating Engineering society of
Chicago were told by oculists whom
they invited to their meeting last night
that the much talked of advance in
methods of illumination introduced In
the last century has been in many ways
a retrograde movement.
The doctors strongly condemned in
candescent bulb lights and commended
the old time kerosene lamp.
A paper by Dr. H. I'll. Seabrook of
New York was read, in which the eye
specialist said:
"Our country leads the world, appar-
illumination and certainly leads the
world in ocular exhaustion, discomfort
and congestion. When gas came into
general use these troubles began to in
crease and a further increase was In
evidence as the incandescent electric
lamp came more and more into fashion.
Both here and abroad oculists agree
that the kerosene burner is the least
harmful artificial illuminant. The in
candescent lamp has given rise to more
chronic eye degeneration and disturb
ance than any other light used for night
work.
All the doctors said by a little care
the incandescent bulb could be made
almost as harmless as the kerosene
lamp. They advised the use of illu-
mination by reflection, student lamps
and ground glass bulbs.

POLICE WAGE WAR ON STREET
GAMBLERS
Winners Few and Far Between, and
Many Complaints Are Received
by the Prosecuting At
torney

Despite the warnings and repeated ar
rests by the prosecuting attorney, Ed
ward ]. Fleming, the barking peddlers
of phony jewelry and jejune junk, with
other alleged peace disturbers includ-
ing cane-and-ring and similar rack
gamblers, continue to ply their graft at
Fifth and Main streets, In front of the
Beaumont cafe, and also at Fifth and
Los Angeles streets.
1t Is alleged the unwary are con-
tinually feeced by these takers, and as
result of recent additional complaints
the police yesterday arrested five of the
offenders, accused OF gambling on the
open street.
The arrested men yesterday were H.
Simpson, Frank Perkins. Jack Dwyer,
w. H. Brow and Ed Mayors.
Frank Perkins, it is alleged, con-
Quoted game in which the players
tossed rings at silver money. Simpson
and Dwyer are alleged to have been
his assistants, known as "shillabers."
Brown and Meyers were arrested
while running a game at Fifth and Los
Angeles street. where they had just
opened up their racks. Each of the
FIVE men deposited $25 for their appear
ance in court this morning and were
allowed to depart.
A week ago the prosecuting attorney
announced his determination to rid the
city OF this class of gamblers, and the
men were warned that the alleged
nuisances, long conducted by takers on
Fifth at Main and Lost Angeles streets,
would be made to quit, but the corners
at both the intersections of this crowded
thoroughfare-Fift street-have con-
tinued to swarm with various forms of
cheap junk peddlers, snake shows, med
icine peddlers, spielers and--last but
worst-rack games which the police
assert are every bit as bad as poker,
faro or other card games of chance.
In q number of the games conducted
in that vicinity. it is said. the consid'
Grafton is money. If other articles are
used as a blind they are bought back
by the man who owns the game, and
who pays the winner in cash. The
"winners," however. are said to be few

CONTRACTOR IN HOT WATER
OVER REMOVAL OF EARTH
CITY ENGINEER ORDERS FUR
THEIR HAULING STOPPED
Rubere NegIects to Comply with Red
Tape in Borrowing Soil on EIev-
enth, Between Hobart and
Harvard

Thomas Ruberg is in hot water with
the board of public works because of
the removal of surplus earth from
Eleventh street, between Hobart and
Harvard boulevards.
On January 3 last the city engineer
recommended that the request of Ru-
berg to remove the earth be granted
to q limited extent"
Acting upon this recommendation.
the board granted permission subject
to the usual restrictions and including
q bond, limiting the amount to be TAX
en- to $50 yards.
The attention of the engineers office
has lust been called to the fact that
the profile of the street on file In the
CITY hall does not represent the true
facts in the case, inasmuch as it shows
surplus material In place from which
the extra material has been unlawfully
removed
Ruberg has complied with none of
the provisions of the requirements of
the city, has taken out no permit, has
deposited no fees and made no ar
rangement for the determination of the
amount of material to be removed.
The engineers department has re-
ouested the street department to stop
further removal of material and that
the board rescind it's former permit.

DESPOlNDENCY
DRIVES WIFE
TO SUICIDE
DAUGHTER SAYS POISON WAS
TAKEN BY MISTAKE
METHOD WITHOUT PRECEDENT
IN LOS ANGELES
Woman Had Separated from Her
Husband and Lately Had Been
Morose-lnquest VIII
Be Held

Domestic troubles and dependency
caused by her separation from her
husband it is said, induced Mrs. Eva
May Nichols, handsome woman 43
years old, to commit suicide about
o'clock yesterday morning in the home
of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs A. Shadley, 1926 South Los
Angeles street.
Her daughter maintains that the poi
son was taken by mistake, as the moth
er had never eVinced any suicidal tend
encies, though of late she had been
morose and worried.
The particular method chosen by the
woman for ending her life indicates
that the act was committed rather on
a sudden impulse than from premedi-
tated desire. The method is, so far as
known, without precedent in Los An
geles.
While the surgeons declare that the
woman must have taken also a quanti-
ty of pure carbolc acid, there was none
found, and half empty bottle of car
bolated Vaseline, from which she had
swallowed about a tablespoonful, was
the only thing in the room to tell the
story.
1t is said she killed herself by taking
this Vaseline, but the idea Is secuted by
doctors.
Is Not Poisonous
Vaseline put up in this form is never
labeled poison, and whether or not it
will produce death seems to be a ques-
tion, although it is declared in this
instance to have done so. An autopsy
will probably decide the mystery today
Mrs. Nichols formerly lived in Ke-
vance, Ill. She came here three years
ago, it is said, following quarrel with
her husband. Members of the family
are reticent concerning her case. but
all except the daughter are inclined to
believe her death intentional.
The woman went to bed in her usual
mood Thursday night. For several
weeks she had appeared considerably
worried but no more than ordinary at
tention was paid to it.
yesterday morning when she did not
arise at her usual hour-about o'clock
the daughter entered her room and
found her lying in bed, dead, with the
carbolated vaseline bottle at her side.
She had apparently been dead about
an hour There was no other poison IN
the room.
The remains were taken to Booth &
Boylston's undertaking parlors, where
an inquest will be held this morning.

until women had learned how to hold
