LA TOILETTE SCORES
OIL TRUST RULING
SENATOR FROM WISCONSIN
THINKS 1T MOST UNFAVORA.
BILE EXAMPLE OF JUDI.
CIAL INTERPRETATION.

Washington, D. c. - Disapproval
of Judicial legislation as expressed
in Chief Justice Whites opinion in
the Standard Oil decision and appro-
baton of the stand taken by justice
John NJ. Harlan was the attitude
taken by Senator La Toilette in the
following statement prepared for the
United Press.
81 heard only a part of Chief JUS
tice Whites oral statement but 1
heard all of Justice Harlan's state
ment of his reasons for dissenting.
Assuming that he correctly inter-
prets the decision of the court I say
that the supreme court has written
into the law a construction which
that court has heretofore decided un-
warranted and unsage. 1t is this
very construction which the trusts
and combinations have sought to en-
graft upon the law for many years.
Congress has refused to so amend
the law as to leave it to the courts
to say that some combinations in re-
straint of trade are reasonable and
some are unreasonable. If it shall
be found this decision in effect
amends the antitrust law as Judge
Harlan asserts then it will prove the
most unfavorable example by judi
cial construction which our history
affords.

MAKING PLANS NOW
FOR A SECOND PROBE
0Fl0R|MERC CHARGES
Senators Kenyon and
Clapp to Have
Charge.
BRYAN TAKES HAND
Says Anarchy Grows out Of
Opinions Like Judge
P%ettit's.
BRYAN TAKES HAND

Washington, D. CT is expected
here that Senator Kenyon, republic
can, of Iowa, and Senator Clapp. re-
publican, of Minnesota, both men,
bers OF the Senate committee on
privileges and elections, will have
charge of the new probe into the cleo
ton of United States Senator Lori
mer. 1t is expected that LaFollette's
resolution naming five new Senators
to make the investigation, will be de-
feated.
Bryan Attacks Judge Petit.
Lincoln, Neb.-William j. Bryan,
in the Commoner today, flags Judge
Pettit's decision in the Lorimer case,
saying that the greatest danger of
such decisions is that they inflame
prejudice and arouse hostility to the
authority of the government. Such
opinions as that denying the Illinois
Senate the right to require Edward
Tilden to open his books for inspec-
ton by the Lorimer investigating
committee, he says, is the source Of
anarchy itself.
Brief as the conclusion is, the ex-
pectation here is that it will afford
ample warrant for a %reopening of the
Lorimer case by the United States
Senate.
Springfield, Ill.-Senator Lorimer's
election in 1909 was accomplished
through corruption and bribery
such is the finding of the Helm com
mittee of the senate of Illinois.
In a report submitted to the SEN
ate this afternoon the five investiga-
tors assert that the proof before
them tends to show that a large cor
ruption fund was raised and used in
bribing members of the last general
assembly in order to induce them to
for Lorimer for senator.
The committee reports. that it
sought to follow up trials leading to-
ward the sources of the bribery fund,
but that it was blocked by the ha-
beas corpus decision of Judge Ade-
lor Petit in behalf of Edward Tild-
en-, George NJ. Benedict and William
c. Cummings.
1t reviews the evidence dispassion-
ately and gives its conclusion in the
following terse sentence:
Your committee has reached the
conclusion that the election of Will
Lcrimer before the last general
assembly would not have occurred
had it not been for bribery and cor
ruption."
The finding is the direct opposite
of that reported by the subcommit-
tee of the committee on privileges
and elections of the United States
Senate after its hearings, in Chicago

Silsbee left, that the land Office

Kansas City, Mo.-A fire which
for an hour yesterday endangered
the Kansas City stock yards, and the
live stock building, destroyed sheep
pens covering an area of one square
block, burned sheep, estimated to
number a thousand and partly de-
stroyed two mule barns. The old
American Royal live stock pavilion
also was in the path of the flames,
but was saved. A new fire station
in the course of construction in the
stock yards district was partly de-
stroyed.
The fire started in a fertilizer
plant at the south end of the yard,
and was swept into the sheep pens
before a high south wind. Many of
the sheep were guided in lanes and
driven to places of safety in other
yards.
One goat was seen leading seventy
five sheep to safety through an open
gate. Thirty goats, used to lead the
sheep to the packing house, persisted,
From the sheep pens, the fire swept
to a row of mule barns. Several
thousand mules were turned out
and saved. Thousands Of specta-
tors, who thronged the streets and
lanes in the yards, yer in danger
of their lives when the mules STAN

The Sum of $4,000 for Loans Amounting
To $1,000.

| \ partial adjustment Of the affairs OF
the late Bank of Florence took place in

Kent rendered a judgment for Adolph

against w. Y. Price and c. G. Powell
in separate actions.
The suit was begun by the Valley
| Bank with which two notes, one by
Price for $4,000 and the other by Pow
! ell for $1,000 had been left as collat-
eraf- Before the trial hoveverTT'-r.fe
/ notes had been taken mp by Receiver
Lautz who was substituted for the
| plaintiff in both actions.
Though the defendants admitted the
giving of the notes they claimed that
| they had not received the amount of
money for which they were given.
Powell stated that he had received on
! ~ $4,000 and Price stated that he had
received only $4,000.
Both were corroborated by T c. Ea-
gin. former cashier of the bank, who
made the astounding statement that he
had retained $4,000 as his commission
for making the loan. Accordingly iudg
ment was given against Powell for
81, 900 and against Price for $4,000 and
the amount Of an overdraft.
Another suit was that Of Jose Spinas
against Eagin and his sureties to re-
cover on a note given by Eagin at
time when the affairs Of the bank be-
gan to be in a bad way. Spinas was
given Judgment.
The sureties, Messrs. Weedin and
Camorlain Of Florence. offered in de-
Tense that the conditions Of the note
had been changed; that they supposed
that it had been paid when due. where
as Spinas had granted Eagin an extern
sion Of time. It was held by the court
that that arrangement did not re
lease them from liability.
