New York, September 25.-Attorney-
General Wickersham tonight, in re-
spouse to many inquiries regarding the

ment, which in BART is as follows:
1T has been the consistent policy of
the department not to state in ad-
vance OF actual proceedings that ac-
ton against any particular party was
reasons why this Is the proper position
to maintain. In the first place. Until
investigation is complete It is not
known whether a case OF violation of
law exists, and. in the second place,
the character Of the proceedings can
not be determined until then, and II
the facts shall require criminal pro-
ceedinss TO be resortsd to. ordinary
prudence would demand that publicity
be not given to that fact until indict-
ments are found.
Personally. / should much prefer
that business interests should them
selves SO readjust their organizations
as TO remove all possible criticism con
corning their legality. than hat the
Department Of Justice should have to
conduct legal proceedings TO compel
such readjustment
1T cannot be too positively stated
that the department is not inaugural
ing a campaign against business in
terests of the country or an indis-
criminate attack on all large prosper
Gus concerns. On the contrary. the
care and caution with which the law
officers OF the government are pro-
ceeding to the examination of each
case should be q guarantee TO the
country that the department is propos-
ing to enforce the law with care not
to unnecessarily injure any interests"
