MAY FIND A REMEDY

WASHINGTON, Nov 14--An In
vestigation OF big business" will be-
gin tomorrow with hearings by the
senate committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce.
Whether there shall be competi-
ton or combination. is the question, +"
said Senator Cummins OF Iowa, a mem
Der OF the committee. IF there Is to
be competition. our aim will be- to
protect II. II combination. to regulate
it. Business men are complaining
that under present conditions there is
danger OF the business OF the coun-
try going To ruin. Propositions TO
amend the antitrust law will be
among the matters considered. The
whole question OF improving condi-
tions will be up before the commit
tee"
A mighty galaxy of men OF affairs
have been invited to appear before
the committee. The number includes
]. p. Morgan, George W. Perkins. for
merly one OF Morgan's partners;
Judge Ebert II. Gary, OF the Steel
trust; President Theodore n. Vail, OF
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co.; Samuel Gompers, OF the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor, and Presi-
dent Hadley, of Yale.
Senator Clapp is chairman OF the
committee.
A piece of political strategy de-
signed to shift the battle-ground OF the
1912 election from the slippery field
OF the tariff to the more solid ground
of the enforcement of the antitrust
law is being planned by Republican
leaders.
IL became apparent that the ad-
ministration will make every effort to
push the tariff troubles into the
background From now on an at
tempt will be made to make the Taft
antitrust record the issue in 1912.
That end the president will devote
much space in his message TO
the antitrust law. The tariff will be
dismissed with the mere recommends
tions OF the tariff board.
The president will endeavor to
force an active discussion OF the anti
trust law, which will be depended upon
toIplace in the spotlight the Standard
OIL, Tobacco, Steel trust, hardware
: trust. bath tub trust, lumber trust.
shoe machinery trust, and half a score
OF other trust suits.
Credit for all these will be claimed
for Taft and the presidents speeches
on the trip he has just concluded, will
be quoted to show his position.
The president is convinced that the
antitrust law should be enforced as
Il stands without amendment His
message will convey that sentiment
TO congress
The law has been on the statute
books for 90 years" he says, "and at
last >ss been construed by the SUI
preme court. Two decisions rendered
last spring, give definite meaning to
the statute. The business men OF the
country must square their business to
these decisions and bring their busi-
ness within the law
In his message the president will go
further, however, and will recon-
mend a federal incorporation law to
give the government closer control OF
the integral parts Of big trusts after
they have been dissolved under the
law. He will oppose, however, any
Incorporation scheme that would sup
plant the Sherman law.

CHINESE REBELS WILL
ATTACK NANKIN AGAIN
Will Use Thirteen Government
War Vessels Which Have
Surrendered.

SHANGHAI. Nov. 14.-While Yuan
Shi Kai, the last hope of the Manchu
administration in China, is revealing
TO a committee of the National AS
sembly, the conditions throughout the
empire which evidently make the
Manchu cause a lost one, the reVolu'
tionaries here today prepared TO SEND
the thirteen vessels OF the imperlai
feet which joined them yesterday
against the government forces at Nan
kin.
With the revolutionary flags lying
from their tops the warships steamed
up the river past the berths occupied
by the foreign vessels none OF which
acknowledged the salutes OF the
rebels. II is said the officers or the
vessels will be retained in command
by the revolutionary leaders:
II seems impossible that Nankin,
the largest city on the Yangtse river
still In possession of the government,
will be able to withstand the assault
OF the warships, the strongest In the
Chinese army.
The rebels plan joint attack on
NdUkln ny luo WdiohiPb anu NHS 'AN,
forces.
Advices from river points indicate
that outlawry is spreading and that
crime is unchecked. Even in the
streets of the larger cities the inhabi-
tants. supposedly under the protection
of the revolutionary leaders, are in
terror River pirates are infesting all
the harbors. Thousands of them,
openly banded together, are attacking
the police and soldiers. They are
burning villages. and killing the in
habltants after carrying away every
thing Of value.
IL Is believed here that the govern
ment will be forced to capitulate TO
the rebels within q few days because
OF it's lack off,rnds. The Pekin author
tiles have been unable to collect
revenues from any provincial capital.
Reports from Chang Chowfu In
southern China. which went over to
the rebels yesterday, say the city is
overrun with thieves. Ii surrendered
without fighting. as most of the in
habltants were in sympathy with the
revolution. All buildings have been
looted by the invading soldiers and
their officers seem unable to enforce
discipline.
