Year of Intense Activity.
The attorney general reviews the
record of year of intense activity
in federal prosecutions and points out
that the department OF justice fin
anc:ally sustained itself as the result
of the contribution of $4,204, ,115 to
the United States treasury in the
shape OF fines collected: customs dut-
les recoyeries, etc. The expense OF
the department, including the office
Of the attorney general, all Of the dis
trct attorneys and assistants through
out the country aggregated $5,223,-

In a comprehensive review OF the
antitrust prosecutions, the attorney
general shows that the IL antitrust
civil suits pending at the beginning
of the last fiscal year were augment
ed by additional actions, while the
IL criminal prosecutions under the
same statute were increased by %
more prosecutions during the last fis-
cal year.
Eight civil suits and a similar num-
Der of criminal trials were brought to
conclusion during the year. In four
of the civil prosecutions judgments
were rendered in favor Of he United
States, while three were lost and one
was discontinued. Four convictions
were selectd under the criminal clause
of the statute during the year and
four cases were either quashed or dis
continued.
Some Notable Prosecutions.
Declaring that he appreciates that
public interest in the Sherman anti
trust law was even greater than il
was at the date cf his last report, the
attorney general set forth the fol-
lowing cases as being prosecuted or,
pending for final settlement.

Prosecutions Against Railroads.
FOrty-six prosecutions for Illegal
determinations and rebates were in
stituted against railroads during the
year. The attorney general urges the
amendment of the 2S hour law gov
erning the railroad transportation or

ment penalty for its violation.
The vigorous enforcement. of the
customs laws. the attorney general
says. resulted in the recovery Of 81
