THESHERMANLAW
CONGRESSMAN LlTTLEFIELD 70
cAUsTlc IN CRITICISM or
ANTITRUST STATUTE.
ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT
But Seven Convictions Secured Under
the Sherman Law During Roose-
veIt's ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Statute Too indefinite.

Chicago, June 27.-Congressman
Charles q. Littlefield Of Maine, ad.
dressing lawyers and jurists at the
closing session here Friday Of the
annual meeting of the Illinois bar a.
ISOLATION, adopted a caustic criticism
of the application Of the Sherman anti
trust law. He declared that the law
itself is indefinite, branded proposed
amendments to the act as an attempt
to infuse life into something lifeless.
His peroration contained yelled at
tack upon President Roosevelt. After
questioning the efficiency Of the anti
trust law on the ground that 1t leaves
too much to the discretion of juries
as to the "reasonableness or unrea-
sonableness" Of actions which must re-
strain trade, he endeavored to show
that no similar laws with indefinite
provisos ever had or ever could be In
forced. He then accused the commits
sIoner of corporations of misstate-
ments as to the success Of such In
forcement, and added:
Senator Lodge, in the Republican
national convention, said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had inforced the laws
as he found them on the statute DOCK
The Republican platform congratulates
itself on the Enforcement Of all the
laws. In the light Of cases | nave
cited to you 1t would seem that pro-
clamation and not performance con-
stitutes Enforcement Of the law.

but seven convictions had been SO
cured under the Sherman law since

state has won a victory the way Is

will hasten the filing of these actions
is that the period of limitation on

David T, Watson, the eminent Pitts

Pittsburg, March II. - Detectives

who arrested John Furman, alias John
Taylor and Joseph Haas, while, II is
alleged they were in the act of max
ing counterfeit half dollars in the
rear of 55S Braddock avenue, Brad
dock, Saturday, will be handsomely
rewarded by the federal government.
II is said the government will pay
reward of $1,000 for the capture of
the twenty-five sets of molds taken in
the raid.
The reward will no doubt be divid-
ed between the four local detectives,
who took up the case and brought it
to a successful ending. The govern
ment gives a reward of $50 mold for
all taken in raids on counterfeiters'
dens, and as twenty-five complete sets
Of molds, fifty in all, were found, the
amount to be received by the detec.
tives will be a tidy sum.
It was learned that three sticks OF

The officers think the men did not
mean to be taken without desperate
struggle, and had they been able TO
use the dynamite would have attempt.
