WANT NEW ANTITRUST LAW.
President Would Supplement sherman

President Would Supplement Sherman
Act.
Washington, Nov. IA. President
Taft's first work at the White House
upon his return was a conference with
Attorney General Wickersham. The
question of recommending legislation
supplementing the Sherman antitrust
law was discussed. This proposed
legislation will be designed to make
clearer what constitutes a violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law.
While the president is seriously con
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY OF recon-
mending legislation that will specify
more particularly acts that constitute
violations of the Sherman antitrust
law, 1T is already apparent that several
Of the party leaders are inclined to re
gard unfayorabiy any effort to supple
ment the Sherman law at the coming
session of congress. Senator Smoot OF
Utah, one Of the Republican leaders,
does not believe that Mr.. Taft will Sc
cure any trust legislation at this SEES,
sion OF congress.
Senator Smoot also is pessimistic re
garding currency reform, arguing it as
too big a question to be put through
easily.

BETRAYS LOVER
TO STOP CRIME
When Pleading Fails Woman
Warns Intended Victim.

Paterson, N. J., Nov. 14-An alleged
plot to rob and perhaps murder Sam
uel Demarest, a Main street merchant,
was disclosed when Michael Spineili,
Raymond Miller and Mrs. Irene White
hurst-Burns were a~rraigned before Re
corder J. FL. Carroll on a conspiracy
charge. Mrs. Burns warned Demarest
of the plot in a note.
Her motive In sending the warning
was to prevent the man she loved, who
she alleges was one of the co~nspirators,
from committing a crime. This man,
Charles Leeseman, has not yet been
arrested.
The accused men hired a room at 3
Hamilton avenue and met there every
night. The young woman became ac-
with Leeseman. She alleges that she
heard them talking about their plan to
hold up Demarest and tried to dissuade
Leeseman from taking a part in 1t, but,
according to her story, Leeseman said
there would be no danger, az 1t wosaid
be an easy matter to knock Demarest
unconscious with a lead pipe.
Finding that her pleading was IN
vain, the woman sent this note to Dem
Arrest on Saturday:
IF you value your life don't carry
any money on your person or don't
leave your place of business alone,
Some one whom / love is concerned in
this deal. and 7 am warning you TO
a y him from committing murder.
Please destroy quick"
Demarest informed the police and
Spinelli and Miller were arrested. Mrs.
Burns warned Leeseman that the pc
lice were looking for him, and he is
said to have left the city. The two
other men and Mrs. Burns pleaded not
guilty and were held In $1,000 bail for
a hearing tomorrow.
The police say that in the room used
by the three men In the Hamilton ave
u house they found a lead pipe and
q wrench and other tools.
