AUSTRIA'S PLAN TO

Germany Sees Warning for

Harbor Affords Much
Greater Protection.

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The announce
ment that the Austrian govern
ment will construct a great new
war harbor at Sebenico. on the
Adriatic, creates the liveliest inter
est in German naval quarters. It
is interpreted as direct reply to
the recent reception of French
squadron in Antivari, to the trans
formation of which into free
port" Austria had to consent as
one of the compensations for the
annexation of Bosnia. Nothing
can more wildly illuminate the
nebulous state of affairs within
the triple alliance than the follow

IN CANADA, GOVERNMENT PUTS
TRUSTS CRIMES INTO COLD PRINT

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 5.-The
house of commons has before it a
bill, introduced by Mackenzie King,
minister of labor, by means OF
which it is hoped to drive every
offensive trust out of the dominion.
Under the terms of the bill any
six men, If they think they have
evidence of an illegal combination,
may go before a high court judge
and tell him what they know. If
they make out a prima facie case
the Judge, acting almost with the
power of grand jury, can give an
order upon the department of labor
for an investigation.
The minister of labor will then
order the compliments and the
combine each to name a representa-
tive. These must choose a Judge
who will act as chairman of the
board thus constituted. This board
will have all the powers 'of court
and all the expenses of the INJURY
will be borne by the government
department.
When the board has finished 1t
will make report to the minister
which must be published.
Trusts in the United States are
willing to pay fines If they are
found out, in the hope that they can
cover up their tracks later on and
commit the same offense all over
again. One of the merits of the
King measure is that a different
kind of penalty is the result of ad

TAFT FIRST DANCER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-For the
first time since Chester A. Arthur
occupied the white house the coun-
try has a dancing president. Last
Friday night President Taft went
through the maZes of a waltz with
Mrs. Pearce Horne, wife of Wash
ington lawyer, who was one of the
Young matrons at the Southern Re-
lief society ball. To the fact that
she measures five feet ten Mrs.
Horne modestly attributes her Sc
lection as Mr.. Taft's partner.
81 suppose the president wanted
some one who was large enough not
to put him at disadvantage" she
says. But Mrs. w. F. Dennis, presi.

whom you would like to dance, |

Mrs. Horne, he said: 4 should like
