DISCUSS TRUST LAW
TAFT CLOsETED WITH THREE
CABINET MEN.
Also Consider Amendment to Interstate
Commerce Law Concerning Pros
ecutIOn of one nders--Many
WOuld-Be Tarim' Commits
aiOmePs.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 21.-For four
hours and a half this afternoon Presi-
dent Taft was closeted with three MEM
bers Of his cabinet. discussing changes
to be recommended In the interstate
commerce and anti-trust laws.
Attorney General Wickersham pre-
scented to the President a tentative
draft of several of the proposed
changes which Mr.. Taft in part APP
proved The cabinet conference was
attended by Secretary OF the Treasury
MacVeagh. Secretary of the Navy Mey-
err, and Attorney General Wickersham.
When the conference had been ad-
journed until tomorrow, President Taft
announced that no definite conclusion
had been reached on any one OF the
several matters.
The final framing of the amendments
to the interstate commerce and anti
trust laws will be left to the commits
sioner designated by the President.
The Attorney General will tell to the
commission. which is to meet in New
York. August 80, a definite statement
OF President Taft's wishes in the mat
ter which will form the main features
of his Forthcoming message to Con-
gresS.
Mr.. Taft declared tonight that, as a
result of the report made by the At
torney General he was convinced the
amendments deemed necessary to the
interstate commerce law would be
simple matters to deal with. The
bringing about of a coordination of
the executive departments concerned in
the enforcement of the interstate COM
merce and antitrust laws. he said,
could also be readily accomplished.
One of the subjects tentatively dis
posed of today was an amendment to
the interstate commerce act looking to
a proper Federal supervision and re-
strlctlon to prevent excessive issues of
bonds and stocks of companies owning
and operating interstate commerce
railways
Secretary Macveagh laid before the
President a list Of forty candidates for
the appointment on the tartff commits
sion, authorized by the Payne bill. The
Secretary said he had been unable as
yet to make a selection of any one Of
the candidates and asked for more
time There is some talk now that the
commission will be limited to three. or
at most five members.

DBurning of Building Owned by
DtaS SuppOrter-Ail Commune
nicatiOn Cut On.

Mexico City, Aug. "a bulletin.
from Monterey at 1884 tonight conveyed
the news that the business section of
that city was threatened by fire. The
fire started In the Botoca Leon, one of
the largest wholesale drug stores In
the republic. The store Is owned by a
son Of General Geronimo Trevino, who
was recently appointed commander of
the Third Military Zone by President
Diaz. This fact has caused some ap-
prehension here as 1t IL feared that
the fire may have been caused by po-
litical malcontents.
Communication with Monterey has
been cut off since the receipt OF the
bulletin telling of the fire.
The fact that the bank OF Nuevo
Leon was reported in danger is the
source of still further apprehension, for
IL the fire was of incendIary origin.
designs on that institution would lead
to grave complications.
Large stores of gasoline are saidS to
have been stored in the Botoca Leon
and this probably aided In spreading
the fire over the entire block. The
telegraph office Is at one end and the
store at the other. The telegraph hers
remained at their posts until the flames
reached the second Aoor Of the build
ing.
