Heavy selling orders came in all day from

One group Of experts held tenaciously
to the theory that the selling orders were

The fact that J. P. Morgan visited his
banking office to-day for the first time in
about a week and that II was one of the
few visits he has made there since his
return from Europe. nearly two months
ago. increased the omlnous appearance of
the condition. Whether Mr.. Morgan per-

Gary or any Of the steel trust lawyers

When everybody recalled that James

EXPECT THAT TRUSTS
WILL OBEY THE LAW

| Nothing is known in Washington con-
cerning the proposed dissolution of the
steel trust Solicitor General Lehman
saying that he has secured nearly all his
Information from the newspapers. 1t is
| known. Of course that trust officials have
been visiting Cedarhurst, Attorney Gen
eral WiCkersham's home on Long Island.
and IT is also known that Mr.. Wicker
shams course has the approval of Presi-
/ dent Taft, IT, indeed. II is not due to the
| latter's express directions. The feeling in
official circles is one Of satisfaction over
| the fact that the big corporations are dis
| posed to adapt themselves to the Sher-
man antitrust law without legal pro-
Ceedings. 1t Is expected that as soon as
the dissolution plan is ready 1t will be
submitted to the government attorneys.
! and then the court will be asked to issue
! 1t in the form of a decree.
| 1t Is predicted at the Department OF
! Justice that the Supreme Court will not
! be required to act upon any additional
cases. but that all combinations which
come within the scope of the law and the
| Supreme Court decisions will be volnn-
tarily dissolved. This includes the har-
veSter trust.
The political effect OF the movement
! to dissolve and reorganize in conformity
with the law among the industrial COM
binatiOnS Is not being overlooked in
Washington. Its most important sig
nificance, according to the administra-
ton's friends, will be to prove the
efficacy Of the Sherman law. as inter
preted by the Supreme Court, and to
discredit those politicians like Senator
La Toilette, who have declared that the
court emasculated the law and made It
ineffective as a weapon against trusts
and combinations IN restraint Of trade.
President Taft has been defending the
Supreme Coure decision ever since 1t
was delivered and has declared that 1t
will give vitality to the antitrust act.
His political adversaries have taken the
opposite view and are trying to make po-
! lltical capital against the President by
starting a movement to amend the law,
with a view Of making 1t more effective.
The Presidents friends declare that he
will have the best sof the argument be-
fore the country.
An acouiescence in the decision OF the
court by the public and by the trusts
will have a tendency to give stability to
business and to relieve the situation of
the doubt and uncertainty that hung
over the country prior to the courts de-
cision last May.

'CAPPER" CAME
NJ. E. Preachers Aim Blow at
marrying Parson."
BEHALF OF DECENCY

Another step was taken yesterday in
the campaign against the methods said
TO be employed in procuring matrimonial
business by G. J. S. Hunnicutt, the So
called printer-parson, and other Rev. "
gentlemen who have been plying lucra-
tive business for the last year, to the
chagrin of regularly ordained ministers
of the gospel.
PREACHERS TAKE ACTION.
At a meeting of the legislative COM
mittee of the Preachers Association of the
NJ. f. Chuch OF the District, held at thN
residence OF Rev. W. l. McKenney, paste
of the Wesley NJ. E. Church, FifA and 81
streets northwest, yesterday morning, tk-
Hunnicutt case was brought up. Rev. '
NJ. Meeks. of, the Ryland NJ. E. Church,
presided, and the following members
were present: Rev. Dr. Sumwalt, super

the District; Rev. DR.. McKenney. OF

of Petworth NJ E. Church; Rev. DR..
Wise. of Iowa Avenue NJ. f. Church,
and Rev. Dr. Pate. OF the Dumbarton
Avenue NJ. E. Church
The resolution offered at the last
preachers meeting by Rev. Dr. McKen-
ney was adopted after slight changes It
sets forth that there are persons in this
city not duly ordained ministers of the
gospel, as required by law. who perform
marriages and employ methods to secure
matrimonial business at once undignifed
and against every principle Of deCency
and the ethics OF the ministry
The resolution asks the District Su-
Preme Court TO cancel the permits Of
these persons and not to issue permits
in the future to applicants who cannot
produce proof that they are duly or
dained ministers.
To Wait Upon Court.
a committee. consisting of Rev. Dr.
McKenney and Rev. Rr. Pate. was ap-
pointed to present this resolution to Chief
Justice Clabaugh this morning. and Rev.
DR.. McKenney was directed to submit
them to the Ministerial Alliance, which
will meet at the Y. NJ. c. A next Mon
day morning. The Ministerial Alliance is
composed of delegates from every de-
nomination.
1t is alleged that beside Hunnicutt
there are a number who ply the marry

New Route Across styx.

From the Pitts5urg Press.
Charon's boat had just grated on the
gravel.
'AIl aboard" he shouted in his rau-
cous tones. This is the only boat for
the Elysian Fields. Start in five minutes.
Right this way. Only boat for the Ely
sian Fields. All aboard"
But the young man with the queer con-
trivance of ropes and fiappers did not
heed the aged barker.
Charon shook his PADDLE at him.
Say, you youngster, come aboard" he
growIed. II can't hold this boat all

now Speaker Of the House. in the Sixty
first Congress, in which Mr.. Clark ex-
pressed the belief that reciprocity was
the entering wedge for annexation, was
quoted freely during the Canadian cam
paign. This speech, coming from a man
now occupying a high official position in
the United States, 1t is believed, had an
effect distinctly hurtful in Canada TO the
cause of reciprocity. Like speeches made
by the enemies OF reciprocity also ex-
erclsed an influence that proved a handi-
cap to the Liberals.
1t is regarded here as the irony Of
fate that Sir Wilfrid Laurier should
have lost his great fight for reciprocity.
For many years he has been the principal
advocate in Canada of reciprocal ar
rangements> with the United States.
Heretofore, the Liberal premier was re-
buffed by the United States. Yesterday
he was rebuffed by his own people.

Madrid. Sept. 21.-The city to-day pre-
sented its normal aspect, except for the
presence of an unusual number of SOL
diers on the streets and around the rail-
way stations and tramway terminals. The
railroad and tramway service was unin-
terrupted, the only sign of the general
strike being the absence of cabs and
drays and the nonappearance of three
newspapers on account of the strike
among their employees. FL Impartial and
FL Liberal appeared with a reduced num-
Der OF pages.
Signs of a lack of unanimity among
the labor leaders pOrtend a collapse of
the strike movement, although $4,000
building trades employees voted to-day to
Join the strike. The government is now
in control of the situation at Valencia

danger points. where the strikers at first
developed unexpected strength.
Suspected political agttators are under
close surveillance, and houses searched
by the police have resulted in the dis
covery Of large quantities of arms here
and elsewhere. Hundreds of arrests
have been made.

Political Speculation.

There is a good deal OF speculation as
to the possible effect Of the present fail
ure OF Canadian reciprocity on the politi-
cal fortunes OF President Taft Opinion
on this subject has not crystallized, as
everybody in official life had entertained
hope amounting to conviction that the
Canadian people would uphold the Lib
eral government, which was committed
to the policy Of reciprocity. The general
impression is that the administration
will not be affected one way or the other
politically by yesterdays outcome. The
President is given credit for exhibiting
a good deal OF courage in initiating and
putting through Congress a policy that
was manifestly unpopular with the agri-
cultural interests. The credit or dis
credit. II Is quite generally believed. that
Injured to the administration through the
passage by Congress OF the Canadian
agreement will in no wise be affected
by Yesterdays result in Canada.
Those in Washington familiar with
conditions in Canada declare that the
so-Called interests" in the Dominion are
responsible for the failure of the recip-
rocal agreement. The bugaboo Of an
nexation also played an important part.
II is felt here. The railroads, manufaC-
turers, and the banking interests COM
bined in support of the Conservatives, de-
Claring through their representatives that
closer trade relations with the United
States as proposed in the trade agree
ment was the first step in the direction
of the dissolution Of Canada as ma
