JUDGE COMMENTS ON
JURORS INTELLECT
Had Admitted Prejudice Against
Hearst Papers.

New York. Dec. 31.-The appellate
division OF the supreme court affirm
ed the conviction and $4,000 fine of
the Star company, publishers of the
a libel accusing John ID. Rockefeller,
Jr., of peonage." The defendant com.
planned that its challenge to cne of
the jurors was improperly overruled.
Justice Scott says that the Jurors
chief defect appeared to be that he
was too intelligent and conscien-
tious." The juror said he was preju-
diced against the Hearst newspapers.
The other contention on which the
defendant based its appeal was that
being a corporation, having neither
soul, conscience, mind nor feeling, 1t
is incapable of entertaining mis-
chievous and malicious intent, which
Is an essential element in criminal
libel"
Justice TEAL says 1t was generally
considered at one time that a corpo-
ration was incapable of committing a
crime, but that by SLOW degrees and
following upon the extension of the
practice of organizing corporations
for the purpose of avoiding the pen
alties of Illegal acts, the courts have
reached a different conclusion. We
find no difficulty. therefore, in hold
ing that a corporation may be indict'
cd for and convicted of the crime of
crimi.s libel, the evil intent of its
agent being attributable to it,

PROHIBIT PRICE-CUTTING

Representative Of Federal Bureau Of
Corporations, In Address Before

outlines Alternative Course by
Limiting Corporation Dividends by
Imposition Of Tax Upon Profits Ex.
cecdIng Fixed Per Cent on Capital.
New York, Dec. 81. - Francis M.
Walker Of the bureau of corporations
In Washington, addressing the cham
ber OF commerce, said that in his
opinion the only permanent and sue
cessful solution of the trust problem
lay In a revision of the constitution
q revision which would place in the
hands Of the federal government more
power of supervision and of punish.
ment over great combinations of cap.
ital. He outlined further, in the
course of his address, which was on
"The Cause and Remedy of Trusts,
an alternative course of trust regula.
ton, which was the limitation OF
trust profits by the imposition of a
tax upon profits exceeding liked per
cent Of the net investment.
In discussing the causes for the re.
cent economic phenomena designated
under the sweeping term of trusts
Mr.. Walker cited as the most prolific
and the most demoralizing, favor
itism. which exhibited itself particu
larly In the railroad rebate or special
rate.
This is one of the causes which
should be attacked in the first in
stance" said he. "by prohibitory leg
to make such legislat' : effective, the
most thorough superNi ision is neces
sary, including the power to examine
books and papers, both of the trans
lportation companies and shippers.
Unfair competition may be the
cause for the formation of monopoly
as well as the means of maintaining
1T. This term is elastic and includes
IA variety of practices. which may oc
cur under a competitive as well as a
monopolistic system. Here again
criminal legislation would do much tc
end the abuse. A prohibition of 10
cal price-cutting. or of exclusive con
tracts, in certain cases, or Of bogus
independent companies, all seem fea
sible from the legal standpoint"
The speaker went on to outline the
type Of monopolies which owed theil
existence to superior efficiency
cause which, he said, could not bt
icountered fairly by criminal legisla
tion. Such a monopoly due TO such {
cause should "be put under scientific
observation as an economic curios
.ity." The corporation laws of thu
various states are In themselves
strong factors in the trust problem
he added.
The speaker digressed to interpo
late his suggestion of revision of tn,
constitution as the only permanen
remedy for trust excesses. Then h,
