have benefited only the very indi-
yiduals who had been dominant in
the formation of the combination. as
they are possessed of means ample
enough TO profit by the ruin which
would have followed, In my opinion
the plan which as been approved by
the court VIII accomplish the objects
OF the law"
Forty-s.x prosecutions for Illegal
determinations and rebates were in
stituted against railroads during the
year The attorney general urges
the amendment of the twenty-eight
hour law governing the railroad
transportation of We stock by I'M
posing an Imprisonment penalty fer
its violation.
The vigorous enforcement of tho
customs laws, the attorney general
says, resulted in the recovery of So.
10000 in duties out OF which the
government had been defrauded.
The white slave traffic act, nov
"a year and a half old, is having a
salutary effect, in the Judgment Of
Mr.. Wickersham. The statute was
diligently enforced throughout the
country, he AYERS, with most salts
factory results. one hundred and
forty-five prosecutions were had,
resulting in 76 convictions, IA ac-
quittals and 10 Iolle pressed or
otherwise discontinued. Ferty-iye
cases are pending. Sentences i'm
posed ranged from a few months in
jail to ten years in the penitentiary.
While prosecutions against peon-
age, the attorney general says, has
done much to stamp it out. the
practice still appears to be quite ex-
tensively carried on in some of the
southern states. He suggests the
strengthening of the statutes SO as
to afford efficient protection of per-
sons against slavery and inyolun-
tary servltude, except as punish
ment for crime.
Mr.. Wickersham calls attention
to the discoveries of extensive ir,
Irregularities and in some cases
actual dishonesty in Offices Of clerks
Of the United States courts, No
effective reform, he. declares, can
be accomplished until the power OF
removing the clerks is taken from
the judges and lodged in the Pres
dent and the clerk paid a specific
sum, instead by the fee system.
Declaring that many of the ialls
where federal prisoners are con-
fined are wholly unsuited for the
detention of human beings and care
shocking breed ne places Of crime"
the attorney general recommends
the appointment OF commission to
inquire into the conditions. This
commission also would consider the
general treatment of juvenile and
first offenders.
Attorney General W'ckersham
also recommends that the federal
government be given the right to
bring any action against an indiyld-
ual or corporation in any part OF the
country without restriction as to tbs
place Of residence of the individual
or the home state of the corpora
tion.
The attorney general also recon-
mends general immunity statute,
numerous laws for Alaska and a
civil service retirement law.

1907 the undivided profits Of The con.

Iii 1909 they exceeded ten millions,
and In 1910 they were more than
eight and one-half millions, the AZ.

These figures would indicate that the
