BREAD TRUST
in MANY CITIES
Merger Of Companies May
Run AfOul Of the Sher-
man Law
NO ACTION YET TAKEN
BY DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
BY The United Press.

L
WASHINGTON, June Whether
the s25.OOO,OOO "bread trust" just
formed by combination Of twenty-one
baking companies in nearly as many
cities of the east and middle west,
is likely to run afoul of the Sherman
Antitrust law, was the subject Of
considerable discussion here today
among lawyers and congressman.
The Governments trust buster"
assistant to the the attorney general,
James A. Fowler, said today that he
had not been advised of the forma-
tion of the combine and could not
make any statement Of the plans Of
the Department of Justice. Independ-
ent bakers here declared their belief
that the trust" would at once start
a price cutting war, in which it would
be certain to triumph, because of its
enormous resources.
Sherman Law May Not Apply.
1t was pointed out by several con-
gressmen that possibly there might
be a difficulty in the way of applying
the Sherman law to the combine in
case the question ever arose. because
X was not certain that the bread pro-
duced by the trust" moved in inter-
state commerce. Unless the members
OF the combine shipped their product
from one State to another, the Fed
eral Government would have no pow
er to interfere, some thought.

ROOSEVELT TO
GENERAL OTIS
Colonel Sharply CrltiCizeS
Attitude Of Los Angeles
Times
CURIOUS INSTANCE OF
ANARCHY OF CITIZENSHIP
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, June 15-"Certain Of
the capitalist newspapers of the stamp
of that owned by General Otis have
been responsible for far more brutal
utterances than can be attributed TO
any recognized labor leader" says
Theodore Roosevelt In a leading edi-
torial in the current Outlook, headed,
Mr. Gompers, General Otis and the
Dynamite Charges"
The article is Colonel Roosevelt's
direct answer to editorials Of General
Otis in the Los Angeles Times and
President Gompers I'm the American
Federationist. Roosevelt's article re-
fers to his original editorial on the
Mcnamara arrests in the Outlook
which he says, was only a personal
plea for a fair and impartial trial of
the accused. He then quotes the fol-
lowing as General Otis reply to him: (:
IF the Times building was
dynamited says Mr. Facing both
ways then those guilty of the
crime should be punished. The
Times feels that the if is an up
holding Of the cause Of disorder,
and a distinct aid TO the villains
who melted and procured the mur-
der of twenty innocent men and
the destruction of 100000 worth
of property"
Roosevelt replies:
General Otis in this article has
taken the very position against which
all good citizens should protest when
taken by the labor men,. That is the
purpose Of my article as to protest
against the assuming before the trial
what it was hoped to prove or dis
prove at the trial; and in this way
General Otis is guilty of conduct
which could not be too severely de-
nounced If the offender we're a labor
leader, and which, therefore. cannot be
too severely denounced when the Of
fender is a violent opponent of or-
ganized labor and a consistent enemy
of every movement for social and
economic betterment-just as he has
shown himself the consistent enemy oI
the men In California who have dared
| resolutely to stand against corruption
in favor of honesty.
"The article by Mr. Gompers in tn
American Federationists offers tn
most striking contrast, IN tone ani
| temper, to the article OF General Otis
Mr.. Gompers' editorial is fair AM
honorable statement Of a position will
which ! only I'm part disagree, couche,
in language which warrants. respectful
and careful attention.
"The attitude Of General Otis in his
paper affords a curious instance Of tn,
anarchy of citizenship which comes Il
the nan who in conscienceless fashioT
| defies property at the expense Of hu
man right-no less surely than Il
| comes to the man who i'm the name o
human rights wars upon all men oi
/ property good and bad"
! Roosevelt then quotes Gompers' in
vitation to read current trade litera
! ture to secure first hand information
of the labor union situation and says
This is an honorable invitation ex
pressed in an honorable way. and
shall certainly take advantage Of It
Mr.. Gompers says that the trades
unionists only want a fair trial Tha
is all ! wish. Let us find out who is
guilty and who is innocent"

Ordinance
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
NEW CENTURY CLUB ACTS

The members of the New Century
Club of Wilmington are much stirred
up over the first and second readings
of the amendment offered by Council
man Rash in City Council last night
TO the present garbage ordinance. The
amendment strikes out all reference
TO the keeping closed the lids on gar
bage carts with the accompanying
fines for their being left open. I'm
der the amended act, the lids may be
open unless the cart is being driven
through the streets.
A number of club members said
this morning. that such oDen lids,
while the men were collecting from
a number Of houses, were a serious
menace to the health of the city. One
member said that she had frequently
observed that the collectors would
stand and chat with the servants for
a quarter of an hour, the air mean
while becoming thoroughly polluted
from the decaying matter.
The Executive Committee of the
New Century Club, which officially
represents that organization of 500
prominent Wilmington women, this
morning sent the following letter of
protest to this newspaper:
Editor Of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL:-Are the citizens of Whining
ton desirous of maintaining the best
and most prosperous conditions in
our city? We wish to enter a protest
against the amendment offered at last
nights meeting of City Council con-
cerning the covering of garbage
carts.
This amendment, If carried, will
permit the collector to let his cart
stand uncovered on the street while
he collects all the garbage in the
neighbOrhood, which cannot but be
offensive and unsanitary.
We also desire to call the attention
of every citizen of Wilmington 10 this
matter.
Sincerely yours.

Century Club of Wilmington.

COMMITTEE BEGIN
TRACING OF VOUCHER

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-With the
endeavor of the House Investigating
Committee to trace the expenditure Of
81 500 unaccounted for in the State
Department apparently baked by the
grave, as II is now alleged that the
late Secretary Hay was the only man
who knew its exact disposition, the
committee today concentrated upon
the mysterious manner in which the
voucher in the case, missing five years,
suddenly appeared on the floor beside
a waste basket.
Chairman Hamlin charged that
some one in the department tampered
with the missing document and then
placed where It could be found. Secre-
tary Knox promises that if this can be
proved, he will take vigorous action,
but offered no explanation to counter
act Hamlin's charges.
State Department Flustered.
Representative Hamlin today issued
a summons for Chief of Accounts Nor
rison 10 appear before the committee.
Meanwhile the department is much
flustered, but vouchsafes no clue of the
mystery, and sticks to a story which
has been declared by the committee to
be too crude for credence"
According to Secretary Knox and the
explanation of former Chief Clerk
Michael, made to former Secretary
Root, the 81 800 was handed by
Michael to Hay II was Michaels inn

pended I'm Chinese matters"
