UNIFORM LAWS
FOR TRUSTS
Large Attendance at the Meet
ing Of the Civic
Federation
STATE COUNCILS ARE
WORKING TO THAT ED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW PORK. Jan. 12.-Because an
attempt was made to place the Civic
Federation on record as either favor
ing or opposing federal regulation OF
the trusts there was an enormous at
tendance of delegates when the elev-
enth annual meeting was called to or
der today In the Hotel AstOr. Dele
gates representing twenty-four State
councils were on hand, and II was
planned TO devote all of todays ses-
sions to the discussion of the COM
binations. Gilbert II. Montague, VIII
liam Dudley Foulke, Samuel Inter
myer and others who have been active
participants in the enaction OF anti
trust legislation by Congress and the
several States outlined their views on
the subject and suggested remedies for
conditions that are now being COM
planned Of
In ealing the meeting to order Pres
ident Seth Low said that as the result
OF the efforts OF the Federation and the
American Bar Association, II is likely
that within the next few years uniform
laws will be enacted by all OF the
States covering the regulation OF cor
porations, worlmens' compensation
and compulsory arbitration.
There have been organized, Low
said. State councils IN twenty-three
States and the District of Columbia,
and the executive committee Of the
Federation are working to push
through the uniform laws already de-
cided on without delay
The big obstacle so far discovered,
according to President Low and The
executive council members, who held
the floor today. is the differences eX-
listing In State constitutions. Some
things which are permissible In GER
tain States are absolutely prohibited
/ In others. II was agreed, however
that the limitations would not inter
fere with the basic principle of the
various bills, although there would
necessarily have to be some changes
in the text.

THE SPENDER.
By EDWIN A. NYB.

AnL LNDkANs
Like Freddie Gebhard. Henry G. Os-
terman was a spender.
Gebhard died before his last dollar
was gone but Osterman lives to pay
the penalty. The life story Of the lat
ter is a romance OF fortune making
and spending-peculiarly American.
At seven years Of age he was a New
York newsboy, nt fifteen he was in the
navy. and at twenty he was shovedng
snow I'm Chicago.
Finding a job as flagman. he was pro-
NOTED first TO brakeman and then to
conductor.
1t was while railroading that he
worked out his new ideas about cou-
piers and car doors-ideas which rail-
road managers could not ignore.
Before he was thirty he was presi-
dent OF a company manufacturing his
devices and with tine income OF a mil
lionaire.
Stories are told OF how in Detroit
he scattered $1,000 bills by ordering
champagne for a whole barroom, pin
ming bills on bellboys' coats. tipping
walters with a weeks pay and lighting
dollar cigars with twenty dollar bills.
He scattered currency as the wind
scatters leaves.
At Walla Walla. Wash. he decided
one day to have dance that evening
He hired his own orchestra. found the
couples. paid the players $50 extra
for hitting it up lively" and tipped
everything that wore a uniform or a
white apron.
Well, there was an end.
The directors Of his company insist
ed he should buy their stock or sci
his. He sold for a quarter OF n mil
lion dollars and went ON distributing
the money.
Finally. his money gone and hii
reputation ruined. Osterman went OF
the witness stand and confessed com
plicity in a lot Of disreputable graft.
That was the end.
He was a spender. And the spender
like the miser. gets no good Of hi
money.
The one saves his money and hai
none to spend; the other spends hi
money and has none to save.
Which is the bigger fool? Howeve
that may be. the miser does the lesse
harm.
The spender forces on the public tn
spectacle Of his riotous living and cor
rupts society; the miser asks nothing
better than complete retirement from
all publicity.

Frenoh oHoial Red Tape.

Two men went to Nice lately from
Italy TO attend a funeral and took
with them a wreath Of flowers to
which was fastened a Nix ribbon bear
ing an inscription. They were in
formed at their destination that they
would have 90 pay duty equivalent
to S25. The mourners protested, say
ing that the wreath was made OF nat
ural flowers on which there was no
duty, but they were Informed that the
dutiable part was the silk and that.
according to the tarlf laws. duty must
be collected on the gross weight or
the memorial emblem. Then the men
agreed 10 throw the ribbon away, but
this could not be done on French sol.
and so they journeyed back to the
frontier. where they disposed Of the
ribbon. boarded a train for Nice with
the ribbonless wreath and arrived too
late for the funeral.

PROPER TREATMENT OF TREES
Much Injury May Be Done by Inju-
dicious Application Of vari-
Gus Substances.

1t requires pretty close observa-
ton and thorough understanding Of
conditions in order to distinguish gas
poisoning from some other types of
injury which are sometimes likely to
arise. For example. in the gypsy
moth district about Boston, the
trunks of many trees have been treat
ed with crude oil and various other
substances which are exceedingly in
furious to trees. Crude oil or kero-
sene. when sprayed on the bark of a
tree, will penetrate the bark and kill
the cambium, and these substances
Will also penetrate the wood to some
extent. Unless one is perfectly famil-
lar with the characteristics Of trees
poisoned with gas. it would be a very
easy matter to confound these two
classes of injuries. In both cases the
Dark becomes loose and falls off the
tree very quickly. From careful OBJ
servations of the trunks of trees.
however, the effects of crude oil can
be generally distinguished from those
caused by gas by one who is familiar
with these characteristic injuries.
