STANDS BY ANTITRUST LAW
Senate Committee Turns Down Pro
posed Amendments.

Washington, - q Senator Nell
son, on behalf Of the committee on
the Judiciary, has presented report
to the senate recommending the in
definite postponement Of the bill
amending the Sherman antitrust law.
ITO amend the antitrust law" the
report says, as suggested by these
bills, would be to entirely emasculate
it and for ell purposes render it nu-
gatory as remedial statute. Grim
inal prosecutions would not lie and
civil remedies would labor under the
greatest doubt and uncertainty.
".The act as it exists Is clear, COM
prehensive, certain and highly RENE
dial. It practically covers the field OF
federal Jurisdiction and is in every
respect a model law. To destroy or
undermine 1t at the present juncture.
when combinations are on the In.
crease and appear to be as oblivious
as ever of the rights OF the public,
would be q calamity. 81:

torn away and small buildings demol-
ished. The wind decreased about two

forty-fve miles an hour. Wire facili-
ties were hampered in all directions.
High winds prevailed in Nashville,
Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga.
The storm at this last named point
reached gale. No serious damage
IL reported. Many trains are late and
communications hampered.

City, Where Gale Is Reported.
Chicago, 5a.. Grain, snow, sleet
and high wind, which reached
maximum of seventy-four miles at
Kansas City, created climatic chaos
In the Middle West. Trains were de-
layed and telegraph wires were pros
trated in every direction, particularly
west Of st. Louis and north Of Chi
cago. The barometer in the local
weather bureau stood at 20, only rs
higher than the minimum record here
and but little higher than the known
record anywhere III the country. Al
though the Middle West was in the
clutches of gale which wrought
some property damage in various sec
tons and, as in Iowa, took on the
guise of a blizzard, no such disaster
was expected or predicted in the pres
ent instance. The most serious dam
age reported in early dispatches was
at Lamonte, Mo-, where the roof Of
the opera house was blown against q
freight train standing block away,
injuring two persons.
The weather map was In appear
ance almost without precedent. The
isobars, indicating points of equal air
pressure, wound like a lop sided spiral
over the Middle West, centering at
Chicago, where the gale was expected
to break later in the day, and extend
Ing as far west as Omaha. West,
south and north Of Omaha the map
was a blank. Wires were down in
every direction and reports we're miss
ing Westsof Chicago it was possible
for only four states and territories
California, Nevada, New Mexico and
Arizona--to get In their reports,
which was accomplished by using un-
affected wires south along the Mex.
lean border. The wind blew seventy
miles an hour at Springfield, Mo-.
forty-six at st. Louis; fifty eight at
Omaha; thirty-six at Des Moines and
Detroit and forty-eight at Galveston.
The demoralized condition Of te1e-
graph wires was attributable geners
ally to sleet.

As 10 the Gatun dam itself. they
show that not only is the dam safe,
