HADLEY REFUSES
TO MAKE ARGUMENT
troversy Would Bring About
Very Much Good.

NEW HAVEN Conn, June "a That
president Hadley of Yale, doesn't care
to enter into a discussion with Bishop
McFaul over the Bishops statement
that the curriculum of several leading
universities including Yale, Under
mine faith and breed immortality"
was made apparent today in an Of
ficials statement issuedH BY Hadley.
AS far as experience go, the Catholic
clergy of America are exceedingly care
full not to utter false charges on the
basis of reports which they are unable
ture from this tradition. I'm sure 1t
represents a momentary inadvertence
and error of the individual. Matters
could be more effectively set right
by fellow members of his own church
and profession, than by anything like
public controversy.

Senator Beveridge Reviewed a His
tory Of the Big Octopus Which
Reaches Out All
Over.
is A GREAT MONOPOLY
Does Not confine Itself to Tobacco,
But Dips Into News Dealing,
Bill Posting and
Licorice.

WASHINGTON, June Whole
sale arraignment Of the tobacco trust
by Beveridge of Indiana, characterize
ed today's session OF the senate.
Among other things he charged that
the concern resorted to bribery in the
influence Of legislation and said that
their general lobbyist was New
York Man, high socially and knew
personally nearly every Senator.
In addition to four hundred retail
stores, he said that the trust engaged
in the production o. tobacco, maintain
~ a licorice monopoly, had news
stand agency enterprise, and had Or
ganized q bill posting company. He
reviewed the history Of the trust, how
it had absorbed or crushed its rivals
and no. content with its manufacture.
ing and Wholesale business had invad.
ed the retail trade. When the tariff
bill came from the house TO the sen
ate," he said. "It increased the cigar.
ette tax a poor miserable little in
crease, yet the finance committee of
the senate struck this out"
Bailey Talks Also.
Responding to the criticism which has
been made on democrats voting
against Stree iron, hides and lumber,
Bailey of Texas In the senate today de-
nounced the doctrine Of free raw ma,
terial as unjust and undemocratic
Bailey reviewed the history of tariff
making and showed that it was never
accepted until 1885, The proposition
/ to exempt the manufacture from the
| payment of a moderate da,y on raw
materials, Bailey urged was indefen-
.sible, unequal and unjust. When the
tariff is taken from raw materials,
| 1t becomes necessary to increase the
tariff on other articles In order to
raise the revenues. Declaring that
liz he were attorney general ne would
| institute suit to dissolve the United
| States Steel Corporation on the ground
that it is monopoly and that he
would call it's officers to answer in
the criminal courts for misconduct,
Bailey maintained that nothing could
| be done to curb the rapacity of the
trust by placing iron ore on the free
list. Such law neither hurts the
trusts nor helps the people. AS far
/ far as the democratic party deal with
trusts nor helps the people The only
way to destroy the trusts now in exis-
tence and to prevent the formation OF
others, is to send the men who organ
nize and operate them to the peniten
Etiary and put the finished product ol
4 every trust in America on the free
list"
