TO BEAT JERRY'S RECORD?
Greenville County Boy Stands G9ol
Chance, Says Expert.

Greenville, Aug. 4.-That a Green
vile county corn club boy stands
splendid chance of raising the cham
pion acre Of corn in the State, If
not in the South, and thereby ecllps-
ing the record of Jerry Moore, was the
opinion voiced today by Clemson COL
lege experts and Senator B. R Till
man. Special Agent c. B. Haddon, of
Clemson college, Senator Tillman and
other parties made trip today in the
upper section of Greenville county,
for the purpose of inspecting one acre
of corn being grown by Edgar S. Ber-
ry, a 16-year-old lad living on the
farm of J. R. Childress, of Greenville.
The experts viewed thoroughly the
acre of growing corn, made calcula-
tions as to the possible yield, took
photographs of the corn and made ar
rangements for having the corn meas
ured, weighed and analyzed for mois-
ture. At the conclusion of his inVes-
tigation, Mr.. Haddon said that the
most conservative estimate that could
be made of the possible yield was two
hundred bushels. He further stated
that the corn was the best that he
had seen in the upper section of the
State, and surpassed the famous corn
on the farm of Judge J. S. Fowler, of
Anderson county.
''There is strong probability" said
Mr.. Haddon, "of the yield exceeding
that of Jerry Moores prize patch" A
conservative estimate Of the number
Of stalks growing on the acre was
placed at $4,000 and there are from
one and one-quarter to two. ears Of
corn on every stalk. The acre was
planted with two varieties of seed, the
Hastings Prolific and the Marlboro
varieties.

MR.. EARLEDEFENDS
ANTITRUST LAW
One of Best Ever Enacted,
Says Philadelphian.

The Sherman antitrust law has one ar
dent champion in the person Of George
II. Earle. jr.. late Republican candidate
for mayor in Philadelphia. who appeared
before the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce yesterday. Mr.. Earle
has established a reputation with the
lawmakers here for original thinking on
the subject of trusts, because of his un-
successful effort to induce President
Roosevelt and the then Attorney Cen
cral Charles J. BOnaparte, to prosecute
the sugar trust. He was invited to give
-the committee the benefit OF his eXpe-
rienCe and suggestions as to what the
country needs in the way of laws amend
atOry Of the Sherman law, or supple
mental thereto, and as to what further
legislation is desirable to regulate inter
state commerce Mr.. Earle devoted near
~ all of his time to a consideration OF
the Sherman antitrust law and the de-
cisions of the courts constituting il. He
pronounced the act TO be one OF the best
statutes ever enacted by Congress.
The men who drew It were not only
great lawyers, but great historians said
Mr.. Earle. They were too great. in
fact. for the day in which they wrought
For a long time we did not appreciate
the scope of their work. 1t was not until
the public conscience became thoroughly
aroused that we came to understand
the value Of the Sherman law"
Court Decisions Bad.
The witness declared that the only OBJ
lection he had 10 offer in connection with
the consideration Of the operation of the
Sherman law was as to the things that
had been written into it by the decisions
of the courts He cited the Knight case.
in which the court distinguished between
direct restraint of trade and Indirect.
pronounCing the former unlawful and
the latter not unlawful. He showed that
in the trans Missouri case, the joint traf-
hc case. and the Northern Securities
case the courts differentiated between a
restraint Of trade and a restraint OF COM
Detition. and still later, in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco cases, the court ulS-
tinguished between reasonable restraint
and unreasona BILE restraint. He declared
that the word undue was the source
of much mischief. So long as II re-
mained II would be impossible for the
average business man to know definitely
what the law permitted him to do and
what it prohibited, he said.
He took strong ground against Federal
control through bureaus. suggesting that
il meant an increase in expenditures for
no other purpose than to provide Sys-
TEN of espionage upon business that
would serve to harass and annoy. He
replied 20 a question from Senator Gore
that a revocabIe license from the Federal
government for corporations might not
be Objectionable.

AGED DEPOSITORS
MEET IN CAPITOL
Freedman's Bank Claimants
Expect Big Pay Day.

CIasping time-worn and musty deposit
I! books IN their hands a number of Wash
ington coIored people gathered in Statuary
Hall in the Capitol yesterday morning,
believing that the pay day for WHICH
they and, in some cases, their parents
had expected since 1874 was at hand. and
that Speaker Clark or some dignitary of
the House would hand out large sums of
money in fun settlement for claims
against the defunct Freedman's Bank.
They were only a small part of the 10000
depositors which the bank had when its
affairs were taken over by commission
in 1874, with liabilities of s2,S79, 900 in
excess of its assets, but they filed the
hall almost to overfiowing.
The gathering was the result of a mis-
apprehension on the part of the several
hundred men and women. Annually,
when the bill for the relief of claimants
against the Freedman's Bank is reintro-
duced, Congress is importuned to take
action on the measure. This time the
demand was to take the form of a call
by large committee on the Speaker
subsequent to a demonstration by the de-
positors in the rotunda of the Capitol
When the announcement was made from
large number of pulpIts last Sunday
that a meeting would be held in the
rotunda yesterday, and that following the
meeting Speaker Clark would tell the
depositors how to go about recovering
their funds. many Of the anxious claim
ants misunderstood and went to the Capt.
tol in the belief that they would receive
the money due them at once.
After the crowd had been disillusioned
and had dispersed, a small delegation
called on the Speaker to press their
claims

DICK -TO-DICK" LETTER UP.
Republicans Want All Facts Con-
ccrnIng Episode Told to House.

The ghost of the Controller Bay scandal
will not down. 1t stalked forth In the
room of the House Committee on Ex-
penditures in the Interior Department
yesterday, much to the disgust of Repre-
sentative Graham, of Illinois, chairman
of the committee. Chairman Graham is
as anxious now to forget Controller Bay
as he was to bring it to the attention OF
the country at the last session. The
Republican members of the committee
are determined, however that full and
exact justice shall be done the admin
istration in the minority report to be
made to the House in case the Democrats
should fail to state the facts in the ma
jority report.
Such is the substance of a statement
made by one of their number yesterday
Republican members of Mr.. Graham s
committee. il is understood. believe that
it will only be fair If certain witnesses
are put on the stand to tell what they
know about the postscript to the famous
Dick-tO-Dick letter. 1t was suggested
yesterday that the postscript in question
was nothing more or less than a forgery,
and Republicans see no reason why the
facts should not be disclosed.

TOPENSIONL LISTS
Sherwood Measure Will Pass
House This Session.

The Sherwood bill, granting pensions
at the rate of 81 a day to veterans Of the
civil war, will be PASSED in the House
before the holidays. A statement to this
effect was made Yesterday by Repre-
sentative Underwood. the Democratic
leader. The Sherwood bill involves ad-
ditional appropriations on account of pen
sions approXimatirg $4O,OOO,OCO annually
II the Sherwood bill becomes a law
it will increase the pension disburse-
mpnts of the government to about $780,
600 a year. The measure is now on
one of the House calendars, having been
reported favoraLly at the last session. 1t
will have the support of practically all
the Democrats, and only a few negative
votes will be cast by Republicans.
Doubt is expressed that the Senate
will accept the Sherwood bill. There is
sentiment in the Senate favorable to
some sort of a service pension bill. but
leaders in that body are opposed TO legis-
laton involving such a large appropri-
alton as is authorized by the House
measure.
The Washington herald., 1911-12-07

Two new bills affecting the District
and a couple of old bills were reintro-
duced. Representative Dupre, of Louisi-
ana, introduced, by request, a new civil
service retirement measure. The bill pro-
vides for the retirement after the age
of sixty years, with a monthly allow
ance of 500. The money for the fund
is to be raised by monthly assessments
on the salaries of active and retired
civil service employees. The Secretary OF
the Treasury is authorized in the bill TO
pay from moneys in the Treasury pen
sionS for the first twelve months follow
ing the passage of the act.
Representative Roberts. of Nevada. in
troduced a bill amending the present
child labor law. Mr.. Roberts measure
prohibits the employment of boys un-
der twenty-one years of age for night
messenger service, except upon the ex-
Juvenile Court. 1t also omits the eXcep-
tion inserted in the last bill regarding
the employment of Senate pages.
Bills by Helm.
Representative Heflin reintroduced his
bills of last session prohibiting con-
struction work in the District on Sun
day, and ordering the street railways
of the District TO provide separate
street cars for white passengers and
colored.
bill was introduced by Representa-
tive Roberts, OF Nevada, prohibiting
intersta railroads from owning, Oper-
ating. or controlling ships engaged in
commerce in the Panama Canal Mr..
Roberts also offered a bill prohibiting
the transportation in interstate COM
merce of convict made goods.
y bill providing for the physical val
uation of interstate railroad property
was introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Esch. of Wisconsin. The
measure requires the railroads TO be-
gin making a valuation of their prop
critics at once, and TO make reports To
the Interstate Commerce Commission
annually noting progress. The bill is
similar to one offered in the Senate
by Senator La Toilette.
