MAY BREAK lip
ELECTRIC TRUST"

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-The "elec-
trio trust" so-called, is doomed to dis
integration, according to ofhcials of
the Department of Justice, who de-
clared to-day that before the first
month of the new year has passed,
prosecutions which will rival those Of
the tobacco and Standard Oil com
bines in magnitude. and which are
backed up by proofs so convincing as
to make the government confident,
will have been instituted.
Startling revelations of alleged il
legal control of prices through a mo-
nopoly on patents and water power
sites, will be made when the cases
come up for hearing, it was declared
to-day. The electric trust, which is
said to comprise two monster COM
panies with branch Offices practically
in every city in the country, was
charged with controlling the output of
every variety of electrical supplies,
and with fixing unreasonable prices.
II has secured control, 1t was said,
first by buying up all the more valu-
able electrical patents, and then. in
order to make assurance doubly sure,
by buying up numerous water power
sites, thereby making it impractcable
for Independent firms to operate.
Papers In the proposed cases, are
now being drawn up by W. S. Kenyon
one Of the trust busting" assistants
to the attorney general, and will be
completed within a few days. Thus
far, the government contemplates civil
actions only. basing their prosecutions
on the Sherman antitrust law. Crimi-
nal prosecutions may be entered later
