WASHINGTON IN THE LEAD
Erroneous Boast That New
York will Head List of
SmokeIess Cities.

The report sent out from New York
that Gotham soon is to he free from the
smoke nuisance. and that this is a con
diiion which no other city in the country
can boast Of has aroused considerable
comment among District officials
Washington has been .s,nokeless'
city since 1899. when the act for the pre-
vention of smoke in the District Went into
effect, and how this fact could have been
overlooked by the New Workers is diff
cult to explain.
Enforcement of New York Law.
According to the New York report. the
anti-Smoke law which went into effect
there a year ago last July has been en-
forced 50 rgidly that 1000 arrests have
been made and $6.eon in fines collected
The Gothamites boaStfully claim that the
day is not far distant when they will be
able 10 stand on any housetop and see
nothing but clean white smoke finding
its way To the sky.
Such an ideal condition as this Wash
inStonianS have been ENJOYING for an
even dozen years. In fact. the smoke
situation Is better today than ii has been
at any time in the history OF the CAPITAL

General Wickersham, In his annual re-
port. submitted to Congress to-day,
suggests that the Bureau of Corpora

Problems Are Economic.
In enforcing the Sherman antitrust
law. the Acknowledgement points out,
that the Department of Justice and the
courts are confronted by economic
rather than legal problems when 1t
comes to working out methods of dis
indignation after a corporation has
been declared an illegal combination.
Tho department. enlisted the assist

La TOILETTE BILL
Believes That 1t Will Prove
Curc-All for Trust
Evils.
MAKE MONOPOLY IMPOSSIBLE
Sherman Law, as 1t Stands, In
adequate to Meet Bust
ness Problems.

Washington. December 14-That
there is no such thing as a natural
monopoly In industry. was the declara-
ton of Louis D. Brandets. the Boston
lawyer and antitrust champion. who
to-day appeared before the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce in
advocacy of Senator La Follette's bill
designed to supplement the Sherman
law. fIe declared also that if the law
prohibiting the practices through
which existing great combines
grew up is clearly defined and en-
forced no trusts will arise In future.
Supporters OF the La Toilette bill"
he said. believe In competition in in
dustry. on economic. social and politi-
cal grounds They agree that only
unreasonable restraints Of trade should
be prohibited. But they believe the
law is inadequate, difficult OF applica-
ton and unsatisfactory in It's remedy.
They propose to let the law remain,
but to supplement- 1t with provisions
remedying these defects.
Again stating that there are no
natural monopolIes In industry. Mr.
Brandeis said reven the oil trust got
control by ruthless and uncomfortable
violations of law. by criminal Relating,
bribery and corruption, which brought
u wealth. Win "nlCh to destroy COM
petitors by price cutting and like
practices. The steel trust acquired
control not through greater efficiency,
but by buying plants and GRE supplies
at fabulous prices. Not one Industrial
monopoly is a natural growth"
Able to Fig Prices.
Mr.. Brandeis mentioned the tobacco,
shoe machinery and sleeping car com
bines as other trusts, that had been
able to FIX prices as result of &C
quired monopolistic positions.
Mr.. Erandeis declared that competi-
ton, like liberty, should be regulated
lest it lead to monopoly as unrestrain-
cd liberty leads to anarchy. He said
he favored the strengthening of the
Sherman law! by the adoption of the
La Toilette bill, and its amendments
recently introduced In the Senate.
The United States Steel Corporal ton
came in for criticism. Mr. Brandeis
declared It's action in paying Andrew
Carnegie three tlmcs the value OF his
plants" merely amounted to bribe to
get Mr. Carnegie out OF the steel bus
mess. AS an example sf a trust which
had been organized With admirable

VOTE IS OVERWHELMING

Paris. December 1.-THE German,
British, Russian and Spanish nmbassa-
doris were present in the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon when Foreign
Minister De Selves, before a crowded
house. delivered Frances contribution
to the German British debate and made
some additions TO the revelations con-
Corning the Moroccan crisis.
Among other things. NJ De Selves
said that Germany. at tho outset of the
Crisis. had asserted that she would not
accept or abide by new Algaciras
conference n means OF settling the
Moroccan question.
The discussion drew an interpelln-
ticn by the Count De Nun and other
Conservatives, who wish to postpone
ratification of the Franco German ac-
cord In regard to Morocco until ncgo-
tiations now going on with Spain are
concluded Count De Nun condemned
sacrifice to n rival power Of part OF a
French colony equaling In extent two
thirds OF France. and conquered by the
spillinG of French blood lie condemned
the making of secret treaties as u
method of diplomacy. and wanted to
know where France had been heading
since forty years. The world. he snid,
had not seen Europe in more menac-
Ing condition. He hoped that France
did not dream of dangerous Utopia,
involving the substitution Of the friend
ship Of England by the friendship Of
othor powers.
France Not Worsted.
Nj. Do Selves. in opposing the motion
to postpone ratification of the Franco
German agreement, traced the nego-
tintions between France and Germany
since tho beginning of the crisis. flo
admitted that thore had been a moment
of tension. due to the excessive de-
mands OF Germany. Reasonable ncgo-
tiatiohs ensue upon this, and NJ. De
Selves denied that Germany had be-
come irritable and had tried to start
conflict On the other hand, her at
titude had been conoiliatory. French
interests had been constantly guarded,
while the dignity and calm of public
opinion in France had revealed the
force CT French patriotism.
NJ De Selves then defended tho
Franco.German accord, saying that the
world realized that France had emerged
from tho; negotiations far from being
worstcd. However, no said, the chief
advantage OF tbs agreement is that 1t
frees foreign polltics from the Moroc-
can question, which has been n perma-
