No Foundation For Sensational
Story About Prosecution OF
Industries.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. c., Jan. 26.-Presi-
dent Taft today made public the fol-
lowing statement as to his reported
crusade against corporations.
No statement was issued from the
attorney generals office or from the
White House indicating that the pur-
pose of the administration with ref
erence to prosecutions under the anti.
trust law is other than set forth in
the message of the president January
Z. 1910.
Sensational statements to the effect
that there were to be a new depart
ure and an indiscriminate prosecu-
tion of important industries have no
foundations. The purpose of the ad.
ministration is. exactly as already stat.
ed in the presidents message.
The statement was issued by the
president after he had talked with
James J. Hill, the railroad magnate
and had received information that
prices were crumbling in New York
stock market.

Jackson, Miss. Jan. 25.-Two bal

were disappointed. However, there
were few such. It was generally
known, or at least claimed by the op-
position to Vardaman, that there
would be no change worth mentioning
last night. They also declare that
there will be startling differences in
the ballots on or before Wednesday
night, and that the deadlock Is going
to be broken.
Both sides are apparently as san
guine as ever. The Vardaman follow
ers assert that when the break does
come and the opposition candidates
begin to drop out he will receive a
score of second-choice votes, which
will give him the nomination.
This claim is Offset by the opposi-
ton with the promise that their crowd
will stick together to the end and vote
