DENMAN ASSAILS
ANTITRUST LAW
Asks Legislature to Define Policy
on Combinations.

Columbus, o., Dec. 29.-How to
really reach the trusts and break up
monopolies, how TO recover the $751;
900 paid for codifying the Ohio laws,
how to prevent banks being wrecked
by speculative officers, how to stop
jugglery of insurance company books
these and other things are told the
legislature by Attorney General Den
man In his annual report filed with
Governor Harmon, In addition to the
recommendation for placing insol-
vent banks and insurance companies
In charge of state departments that
were announced in advance of the
completion of the report.
AS the states legal officer, who in
prosecutions of monopolists must use
the tools furnished him by the legis.
lature In the shape of laws, Denman
urges the legislature to overhaul the
antitrust statutes. He asks that the
lawmakers start at the bottom by de.
claring state policy as regards COM
binations and trusts. He says there
may be some few things which may
be better done under a single man
agement, but as to the vast bulk of
business activities, monopolies are
against public interest. Let the legis-
lature say what shall be the states
attitude toward combinations, he
urges, and then proceed to enact laws
which will really punish and there
fore will stop illegal business prac
tices
He has found the much-vaunted
Valentine antitrust act OF 1896 a
loose and inefficient affair, as com.
pared with the Sherman antitrust
law. Its provision for ousting a cor
poration from its charter is no pun
ishment, as the stockholders may at
once reorganize under new charter.
The provision for a limited custer
from the right to repeat acts proven
In court to be illegal, such repetition
then becoming contempt of court
punishable by unlimited imprison-
ment or fine at the pleasure of the
court, he considers a preferable
method of procedure.
Further, he wants speedier action
in trust cases. The states case
against the Standard oil company was
begun In 1906 and the case against
the Hooking Valley company in 1908,
and both are still in the circuit court.

WANTS COIN TO
PUSH INQUIRIES
Governor Will Ask Legisla-
lure For Appropriation.
IS AT WORK ON MESSAGE

viii Also Recommend Adoption Of
Administration Board Of Control
For State Institutions and Abolition
Of All State Tax Boards and Gre
alton of a New Board-Woods to
Revive His Tax and Public Utilities
Measure.
Columbus, o., Dec. 20. - Governor
Harmon is hard at work on his mes
sage to the legislature, and has COM
pleted the rough draft of the docu.
ment. The most important recon-
mendations are for the passage of
the administration board of control
for state institutions, the abolishing
of all state tax boards and the crea-
ton of new board, and for an am
pie appropriation for probing state
offices and departments.
Speaker Mooney has returned TO
Columbus from Ashtabua. He thinks
the session will last four months and
said that the appropriations would be
for but one year, there being some
question as to the right of the gen.
eral assembly to appropriate for a
period beyond its official life. He said
that there would be some revenue
bills introduced, one proposing a tax
on inheritances. He thought more
money would be raised by increasing
the state automobile tax, making it
graduated and based on horsepower,
the maximum not to exceed S25.
Representative Woods of Medina
will again introduce his tax and pub
lie utilities bill. This is not reve-
nue., but rather a reform taxation
measure. II seeks to do away with
taxing boards and instead have one
board, and provides for a system of
examination of records of public util-
tiles companies to see they make
proper returns OF their business on
which their taxes are based.
Speaker Mooney knows of no ar
rangements of any caucus meetings
on part of the Republicans, and does
not see need for any.

The mothers search for her son
began on Christmas day. She had
heard that his health was falling and
came TO Cambridge to cheer him up
on that day. When she arrived at
Sumner hall she learned that the boy
disappeared the day before, after
spending the night reading in his
room. Mrs. w. III. Taunton, who
manages the apartments, told the
mother some facts that the boy had
suppressed out of pride. She told her
how he had gone up till now without
an overcoat, how he starved himself
and worked day and night so that he
might be able to finish his course
with his class this year. Then Mrs.
Burns started on hunt for the boy
Al Pemberton square she was told
that young man answering the de-
seription of her son had been sent to
the Worcester insane hospital two
days before.

prominent Christian Scientists OF
Boston upon the authorities at Wash

Mrs. Mary B. Ettinger, the one-legged

rumored that she had come to Boston

that Christian Scientists got busy

eral Legal Machinery to Compel
Witnesses to Talk--Dalzell Confers
With President Taft.
Washington, Dec. 29.-There were
important developments in connec-
ton with the impending congression.
al inquiry into the conduct Of the
land Office under Secretary of the Ins
terror Ballinger, for which Mr.. Bal
linger asked. II became certain as a
result of the acute stage reached in
the Ballinger- Pinchot controversy
that the inquiry will be much more
comprehensive and sweeping than
has been understood. At a long con-
ference between President Taft and
Representative John Dalzell Of Penn
sylvania, a member of the committee
on rules, and one Of the most infiu.
entail Republican members of the
house, It was decided that the com.
mittee OF the senate and the house,
to consist of six members from each
body, which will inquire into the pro-
priety Of Secretary Ballinger's con-
duct while commissioner of the gen.
eral land office as well as head of the
interior department will be created
under a Joint resolution. The COM
mittee will take cognizance also OF
other branches of the government.
While under a simple resolution of
the senate or house the investigation
of Mr.. Ballinger would be conducted
only by the body in which such res
olution originated, and while under
concurrent resolution the inquiry
would be broadened to cover both
branches of the national legislature,
thus making the inquiry purely con-
gressional, under 3 joint resolution,
the case resolves itself into enc OF
"the federal government against Sec
retary Of the Interior Ballinger."
It was President Taft who not long
ago came out with a sweeping in
dorsement of Secretary Ballinger,
who now insists that he be permit
ted TO have a share Of the RESPONSE
bility of passing on Mr.. Ballinger's
conduct. A joint resolution will ac.
complish this, as 1t must be signed
by the president to become effective,
and when he so signs ii will have all
the force and effect of statute law.
This is Just what is desired by the
administration and congressional
leaders. II is pointed out that If a
witness called before a committee OF
one or both houses of congress, under
a simple or concurrent resolution OF
inquiry, refused to testify, the pro-
cess of forcing him to tell what he
knew would be tedious and cumber-
some In the extreme. But joint
