Washington. May, i2.-The
Democrats, assisted BY q handful
OF lighting progressive Republi-
cans, have iorcsd republican
administration TO abandon some
Of the worst Of the corporation-
serving clauses placed IN the rail-
road regulatiSa bill BY Attorney
General wickefsbsrn.

latter q conference with six rail-
Iroad presidents. Wall street
knew long before The public ap-I
lpearsncs Of the bill that it would
be so drawn as to annul that feat'
urs of the Sherman anti-trust law
which prevents mergers. Rail-
road interests bought and sold
stock on the strength Of their ad-
vance information, It is not plain
I as yet who supplied Wall street
with information as TO the kind OF
a bill wickersham would draft.

prepared byNhe attorney general
