business prior to the trust era, trans
porting, refining and selling oil, a
ieSltlmate business. The parent COM
pany has a right to do the same and
likely does in some sections of the
country. 1t is not unlawful for any
corporation anywhere, however small
or large, to acquire by purchase, gift
or bequest any amount of stock in
another corporation as holding there
for. The holding aspect of the pa
rent company in no essential respect
differs from the nature and rights
of the component subordinate corpo-
rations. From this it follows that as
general proposition, and taking in
to consideration, and discounting for
the variations in the laws of corpora
tons and their associated require
mcnts and privileges in the different
states, that a corporation designed
especially to hold stock of other cor.
poIatons. or any corporation not so
designated. are not essentially dir
ferent. In fact. they are all essen-
tally the same and scarcely differ
ent. and cannot be classified differ
ent before the law. Therefore. with
out inquiring into the Sherman
antitrust law, and assuming that it
actually forbids the holding of stocf
OF another corporation by the corpo-
ration SO forbidden. it is clearly evil
dent to even a layman, how much
more to a person skilled in the law

By reason of this aspect, the trust
has received trust" as its appella-
ton. derived from the phrase .'hold-
ing in trust"
We may safely conclude in this
view of the trust problem, that the
trust as a corporation is no different
from any other corporations: that
there is no special Legislation Great
ing special laws of incorporation es-
entially different from the ordinar;
law OF incorpora ton, legalizing cor
porations to exploit. or, as they call
it. develop industries, passed long
years before the trust came into ex-
istence.

MODERN OCEAN LINERS.
Their Double HulIs Defy Hidden Rccks
and Derelicts.

Their Double HuIIs Defy Hidden Rccks
and Dereliets.
In the hands of skillful marine
architect much more has been accom-
plished with steel construction than
the mere economy of space. The safe
ty of vessels at sea has been enor-
mously increased until in the highest
type of modern ocean liners the ele-
ment of danger is virtually eliminated.
The marvellous ingenuity displayed
throughout this great fabric of steel in
guarding against every possible con-
tingency of the sea comes to the av-
erage landsman as a surprise. A great
liner of $4,000 tons may be controlled
by a single hand The complicated
machinery for safeguarding the ship
is practically automatic.
The bottom of the great hull OF the
liner is doubled, the inner shell being
strong enough to float the ship even
II the outer hull be completely torn
away. 1t is exceedingly unlikely that
water would ever reach this inner
shell through accident to the main hull.
but the precaution is taken so that If
1t should strike a hidden object it will
prove absolutely invulnerable. The
shipwrecks Of the past caused by run
ming upon hidden rocks, derelicts and
icebergs are thus completely eliminat-

them is Mrs W. W. Gould, of

she now advises other sufferers,

HUSBAND AND WIFE
CARRY OUT DEATH PACT

Kansas city, Nov. 25.-The bodies
of Claire Andrews and wife of Barn-
boo. wis, were found lying side by
side in Swope park here late today
The position of the bodies led the
police to believe that the pair had
committed suicide.
In Andrews pocket was found
letter addressed TO Mrs. Alf Pringllng'
Baraboo, wis. The salutation read
my Dear Sister
An envelope addressed to MRS a..
J. Andrews, supposed to be Andrews
mother, bore the postmark of Bara-
boo, WIS.
A message from Barahoo lhte lo-
night said that the man was a brotn-
er Of Mrs Ar r. Ringing, wife OF the
circus owner. and That ne had peeh
missing for several months.
f. A. Evans of Baraboo, attorney
for Mrs. Ringing, telephoned a local
undertaken to take charge of the pod
les. It is supposed the couple came
here with the circus last July.
There was little except bones ana
the clothing left the bodies having
been exposed to the elements since
that time.
Dr. Harry G. zarinsky the coroner
Judged that bottle found nearby
contained morphine,
