Trust and Commerce Laws.

Then We have the antitrust law on
our hands for enforcement, and the ar
rangement of the departments of the
government in such a way as to make
it more effective il possible.
Then. there is the interstate COM
merce law, which certainly needs amend
ment in order to give the interstate
vent the delays which are now incident
to appeals to the courts. In my
judgment the best way is to create a
special court and have a court that is
tice in regard to railroads. so that the
matter can be promptly disposed of.
Then / am strongly in favor of a
postal savings bank. / know that in
that proposition 1 come up against a
great many conservative bankers. and
also of a great many who view with

ism in the government. Where IL hap

Those lands when brought into produc-

Then we have a great deal of valu-
able coal land owned by the govern
ment,'' he continued. We have great
many water power sites. the water power
of which will furnish an immense amount
Of power for use by electrical appliances.
Then there are millions of acres of phos-
phate to be used in the fertilization of
the soil. Under existing la VS., those lands
are likely to be parted with merely UNI
der a homestead settlement. They are OF
such peculiar value that il seems wiser
that the government should receive some
control over the water power sites and
the coal lands and the phosphate. so that
they may not come into the hands OF one
controlling corporation. but may be re-
tanned by the government, with the power
to restrict the prices at which the coal.
or at least at which the power. is sold. to
prevent the absorption into one command
of all the power on the continent.

REACHING OUT FOR FUTURE
MR.. SEBRING WANTS SHARE
OF $4,000, 900 CLAIM.
Police Court Clerk Looking Up
Documents to Prove Interest in
French Spoliation Award.

With the prospect of proving an in
heritance to a portion of the $7OOOO.OOO
held in the Treasury Department in con-
sequence Of the French spoliation claims
of over a century ago, F. A. Sebring, clerk
of the Police Court, is making an effort
to unearth legal proofs of the claims of
an ancestor, John Sebring, who suffered
considerable loss In shipping due to the
depredations of French war vessels upon
American commerce during the troublous
times from 1892 to 1901.
Mr. Sebring's ancestor was the junior
member of the shipping and commission
firm of Clarkson & Sebring, probably the
best known and most influential in New
York city in tl,o latter part of the eigh-
teenth century. The firm was an exten-
sive shipper Of -four and other American
products to Europe. At the time war
broke out between France and Great
Britain their shipping interests amounted
to many thousand dollars annually.
Many of the firms vessels were cap
tured on the high seas, taken to the
French ports and sold. In consequence
of these losses the firm of Clarkson &
Sebring was compelled to give up Its
business and dissolve partnership.
For many years it was supposed the
necessary claims had been filed with the
State Department, but an investigation
by members Of the Sebring family showed
that such was not the case.
Efforts arebdng made to locate. If pos
sible, the old firms books in the family
connection in New Jersey, and other legal
proofs required by the government au-
thorities In this work Mr. Sebring is
cooperating with other members of his
family.
