 Meriga is said to have told the off, cials that he has been engaged in se- curing horses, arms and ammunition 0 considerable amount of which already has been sent into Mexico. The pris- oner led the officers into place where a quantity of arms and ammunition was concealed and the ammunition Was taken charge of by the officers. l. It is stated today by United State.

 Washington, November 19.--The ar rest of Gen. Bernardo Reyes by United States authorities at San Antonio for violation of the neutral..y laws Is ex- actly in line with the policy of this government to stamp out revolutionary activities against Mexico in United States territory, according to Secretary of State Knox.
 "The arrest of General Reyes was not requested by the Mexican govern ment," said Secretary Knox today. "The policy of this government has not changed one iota since the inauguration of Madero. So far as the United States is concerned the situation today Is
 identical with that existing last spring when Madero agents were arrested for
 violation of the neutrality laws

The governor notified the President that he did not intend 70 have a repetition of the incident at Fl Paso, where Texas citizens were killed by flying bullets from the Mexican bat- ties at Juarez.

Mexico Prepared

Mexico City, November 19.--Ifs any organized revolutionary movement is begun in the northern part of Mexico its leaders must expect to deal with 2.- GOO federal soldiers. For some days the war department has been strepgthen- ing various posts in that part of the country and today 1t was announced that more than one-third of the entire army were in the states bordering the northern frontier.
 These men are under command of Gen. Geronimo Trevino. with headquar- ters at Monterey. General Trevino is popuiarly admitted to be professional enemy of General Reyes.
 In the states of Chiahuahu and Du- rango the federal forces consist who'll ly of x-revolutionists, now rurales. The regulars, in obedience to orders from Madero. have been moved into the adjoining states.
 Statements made at the national pal ace indicate that the government yet believes no one will succeed in shap- ing the disaffected clements of the country into an organized army of reb- els.
 Today the states of Durango and Yuc- atau furnished the only news of fresh points of instruction. In each state two bands were reported raided. The government declares 1t to be the work of bandits.

Charters By Court Decree

AndTLeTS DN lUuTt DeCTcS
 This difficulty is best illustrated by the proceedings which are pending in court. The department of justice is compelled to pass upon the plan for the recreation of combinations of state corporations and the United States courts cannot escape the responsibility of passing upon such plan. It must be obvious to every ono that, however competent it's members, the court as such Is not equipped for that work. The court is not provided with the machinery, since il was never contemplated that the judicial branch of the government should run an admins trativc branch.
 The difficulty is increased when organ izations that have not yet been proceeded against wish to adjust their methods to the decisions of the court They are virtually compelled to ask to be made de- fendants in order that they may have the advice of the department of justice and may have that advice confirmed by Q decree of the court In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that the only charters for large organizations engaged in interstate and foreign commerce are now issued in the form of court decrees.
 Obstacle to New Ventures X Most embarrassing. however, is the sit uation, of those who are not yet organ ized, but expect to engage in competi- tive business. TheS cannot even ask to be brought into court for the purpose Iof procuring advice and getting a de- Icree, because the mere circumstance that they do not exist prevents them from be- ing made defendants in proceeding. Con- sistently, it would seem. therefore, that a new enterprise of large proportions has no way of being organized and that ex- isting organizations, however embarrassed for the time being, will ultimately find protection from effective competition un- der the law which was intended to re- |strain them.
 TO repeal 1t woulo seem to he that the ra tional way out of the situation is an agreement upon some constructive leg islation to provide for the organization of large commerce and large industries. The government, which has the arm to strike, should have the arm to protect The government which assumed to condemn what may not be done should assume the responsibility to say what may be done and how 1t may he done.
 Cases of National Control
 Other phases of commerce are prar- tically under national control. Orders are sent by the postoffice or the telegraph companies; shipments are made by the railroads which are under government regulation, and transmission of payments are made through national banks But for some inscrutable reason we halt when it comes to national recognition of the con,mercial organizations which stand at the threshold of the whole transaction
 am persuaded that law providing In direct terms under what conditions and for what stated purposes a commercial

 The one gratifying feature of the dis cussion about the condition of commerce. undoubtedly is that 1t promises some definite result. There has been an abun- dance of general comment and criticism but now representatives of commerce. seem to appreciate that there is q distinct lack which must be supplied by some constructive measure. The wonder IS that this demand has been so long de- ferred. Our institutions are peculiarly calculated to bring about the condition with which we are now confronted.
 We have made much of the check sys- tenn In our constitution, but we have been unnlIndful of the fact that those cheeks apply almost solely to political power. Commercial development has been permit ted to proceed practically without federal control. and really the only provision in the constitution for the eeffctive exercise of such control is to be found in the aii- thority of Congress to regulate interstate corln1ercp

Something Lacking in System

something LachiHg III system
 Now that the antitrust law has been construed and that the determination to enforce that law has been made clear, every one must appreciate that something Is lacking in the system. Of course, we hear from those who are more strenu- ous than ever in their demand for the repeal o, amendment of the law, just be- cause 1t has been interpreted and is to be enforced. ln my opinion, these crit ies are unmindful of the condition with which we have to deal
 It would be nnwise to repeal the law. and 1t would in any event be impossible. To my mind, the better course is to ac- cept this law in it's full integrity, to waste no tmes in tiukerins with il. but to recognize that 1t needs q suppie- ment q broad constructive measure
 The difficulty appears to be that we arc trying to regulate creative york under a purely negative statnte--a law which denounces, but which nowhere points out the course for commercial organization. The plan for commercial organization must be inferred from q quasi-erimlnai statute.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-20
Commerce in Wrong Altitude

The antitrust law was the first check provided against the abuses which had in- evitably resulted from such system. Unfortunately commerce. instead of ac- cepting this check in good faith, assumed that the law was invalid. or if valid would not be enforced, and in this atti- tude commerce was unhappily encouraged by counselors who failed to recognize that the development of our industries had assumed q proportion which gave them a quasi-pnblc character.
 Postponement of compliance necessarily Invited more aggressive measures, The wiser course would have been to bow to the law. and to suggest corresponding measures to relieve from unnecessarily hardshlps. When those who are most fla iniliar with the practical difficulties re fuse CT fsil to nszcst prppea, ,yslief. tfeg may always depend that some remedy will be supplied by others who are Jieces- l salily less familiar with the conditions and the difficulties.
