ONE OF my POLICIES"
IS ROUGHLY HANDLED
Wade Ellis, Official rust Buster in New York Speech
Strongly Condemns Roosevelt's Idea of Good
Combinations and Bad Combinations.

Mr.. Ellis, however, declares there is
no reason why the antitrust act should
apply to railroads. In this he agrees
with the conclusion finally reached by
the Roosevelt Administration. Mr.. Ellis
expressed the opinion that 1.-The mere
size of a combination ought not to con-
denim it." and, where the combna-
tion or concentration is made TO effect
economy in production or protect mutual
interests without intent to control prices,
limit production, distribute territory or
promote monopoly, the combination
ought to be encouraged and not dis
couraged by the law"
This is regarded as the highly signi-
ficant feature In the address. 1t seems
TO lay down the theory that combna-
tions may be made for praper Purposes,
and trusted not to attempt the proper.
Critics of Mr.. Ellis protest that he is
trusting too much to weak human ma
ture. They say that experience has
shown that the combination, however
laudable its original purposes is alto
gether likely in operation, to reach out
for control of prices, suppression of
competition, and establishment of mo
nOpoly. than merely to devote itself
to the good purposes Of chea oening
production and improving the. condition
of its employees.
The Ellis speech is looked upon as in
effect a criticism Of the efforts of the
Bureau of CORPORATIONS to make a job
for itself. Eve- since it was created,
that bureau has been trying to find
something to do that ii could do effec-
lively. Its success has been rather un-
certain. II investigated the lumber bust
ness, ard found that there is no reason
fer protective duty on lumber; but
Congress is nct paying the least atten-
ton. 1t inve stigated the oil industry,
and found that the duty on oil should
be removed; but il is still extremely
doubtful whether the duty will finally
be removed, and If it is the recommen-
dation of the bureau win have had lit
tie influence.

CASTRO IS TOO ILL
TO START REBELLION
Venezuelan's Wife Declares He Is
Thinking of Nothing But
Getting Well.

PORT LIMON. Costa Rica, April 1s.-
The steamer Guadeloupe has arrived
here with Sonora Castro, the wife Of
the former President of Venezuela on
board
She did not land, but expressed her
intention OF proceeding to St Nazaire
on the steamer. The former president is
already on his way to that port on the
steamer Versailles.
Sonora Castro said that It had been
her husbands intention to come to Cos
ia Rica. but he was prevented from so
doing by the French government. She
said she did not think that Senor Cas-
tros illness was of a serious nature.
Continuing she said: My husband is
not thinking of revolutions; he has made
no purchase of war implements. The
news that he intended to start an in
surrectionary movement is false.

That the Taft Administration will give
no quarter to one OF the mOst-talked
about parts of the policy for dealing
with great corporations, is the conclu-
sion which public men are drawing
from the speech of Wade II. Ellis. trust
buster to the Administration, before
the bar association in New York.
1T has been suggested" said Mr.. FL
lis, that the Sherman law be amended
to forbid only unreasonable restraints Of
trade. and permit those that are rea-
sonable, leaving to the courts to define
the differences. In my opinion, no ex-
pedient more foolish could be sug-
gested.
Thus Mr.. Ellis pronounced condem-
nation of the project on which President
Roosevelt and his advisers worked ex-
tensively and. in cooperation with the
National Civic Federation and numerous
students of corporation problems in the
last two years Of the last Administra-
ton. had a bill drawn along these lines
and introduced into Congress. Numer-
Gus conferences were held at the White
House and at the Department of JUS
tice. under the former Administration,
with the purpose Of perfecting, if pos
sible, legislation to make this very prof.
ect effective.
Mr.. ROosevelt's Commissioner Of Cor
porations. Herbert Knox Smith, was
one of the leaders in the effort to de-
velcp such project for making the
Bureau of Corporations an efficient and
effective organization; and, in view OF
Mr.. Ellis expressions, 1t is suspected
that there is some ground for the re-
cent reports that Mr.. Smith win not
permanently continue in his present po-
sition.

although he says:
I'VE have so much confidence in the
good seuse and liberality of the people
OF Missouri that we are not planning
20 move from St. Louis and the State.

Saturday was a day of mourning
for Connecticut, when the body of
Governor George L. Lilley, who
passed away on Wednesday evening,
was given the last sad rites. Governor
Lilley in his short term, with his
many admirable traits of character,
personal charm and liberal hospitality,
had attached himself to all with
whom he came in touch in such a
manner that his untimely death
caused deep sorrow and mourning in
the entire state. He was a young
man. not yet fifty, but leaves an en-
viable reputation of ever trying to
do what he thought was his duty
without fear of the consequences. 1t
is a pity that he could not have lived
to more fully enjoy the vindioation
he had received by his own state, but
the strain of many months had taxed
his strength to such an extent that
his complete physical breakdown de-
fed the best of medical skill.
