that position and from talking with his
father tho son asserted to-day that the de-
poslt slips he put in evidence proved alb
solutely that his father received tho money.
The son told the story Of how the Holts-

him that every word OF II was absolutely

ycstigated. The secret agents Of the bu-
reau have been scattered all over the cOun-
try. and in many instances an investga-
ton OF an alleged trust is going on IN
dozen states AT the same time. BY this
practice the government expects 10 shorten
the period Of Investigation and get prompt
action.
one Of the promised results OF this policy
IL that the government will have in the
courts before the end OF the calendar year
probably a dozen antitrust suits In which
the department feels assured OF success in
a broad sense the governments anti-tru
actions may be divided into two classes:
Those To which the Sherman law. as in
terpreted by the Supreme Court. directly
applies. and those whore the additional
question Of control Of property by owner

cally, and either are dismissed when no
violation of the law Is discovered or are
