Gives no ENCOURAGEMENT.

London, May misrepresentation
OF those who are urging upon the
government the remission of the trust
tax had an interview with David Lloyd
George today and asked him to abolish
this provision for revenue for the
forthcoming budget. The chancellor
was sympathetic, saying he agreed
that the sugar duty was oppressive to
the poor and interfered with val
liable industry. It was most desirable
that 1t should be remitted If he could
expect the amount Of taxes from some
body else. However as 1t was he
could not afford to surrender tax
that was bringing in $15,OO0,OO0.

Judge Carpenter In Federal
Court Upholds Sherman
Antitrust Act In Sustain
ing Indictments.

Chicago, May 12-The demurrers o.
the Chicago packers in the "bee1
trust" case were overruled today by
Judge Carpenter in the United States
district court. In his ruling Judge
Carpenter declared that the Sherman
antitrust law, which has been at
tackled by the packers, is constitution,
al. He also held that the indictment
charging J. Ogden Armour and other
packers with violating its provisions,
Is valid.
Judge Carpenters decision may
have an indirect bearing on all anti
trust litigation in the United States
in upholding the completeness and sta
bility of the Sherman act. OF this fea-
ture the court said:
"The statute has been the subject of
discussion for twenty years. The SUI
preme court of the United States many
times has sustained DEGREES which re-
strained violations Of It.
UphoIds Act Of Congress.
Congress aimed effectually to pre-
vent restraint of trade on interstate
commerce; it had constitutional power
to accomplish this purpose by making
restraints of trade criminal acts, or by
empowering the United States. as
complainant to secure injunctions
against acts which constitute restraints
of trade, or both. BY passing the Sher-
man act, 1t did BOTH
The packers had based their demur-
rers in part on an assertion that the
act did not prove crime, or provide
legal and constitutional means of cor
recting the abuses 1t was designed to
control-the decision directly denied
this assumption. They also claimed
that the act did not define the misdoing
in terms that would enable the defend
ant. to- knew In aSYances that such per-
formances ms 1t condemned were IL
legal. OF this the decision says:
II am of the opinion that the SUI
preme court Of the United States has
determined that sections /, 2 and of
the Sherman act define with sufficient
accuracy the offenses therein enumer-
ated."
AS to the stability of the indictment
Judge Carpenter said:
Sees Plan to End Competition.
81 do not see how the grand jury
could have made the charge more def
mite. and believe it is sufficiently spe-
cific to satisfy the substantive law.
"The whole plan from its inception
appears plainly to be one to eliminate
competition as factor in fixing prices
among the three groups of defendants,
beginning with the agreement not to
bid against each other, and in fact to
bid exactly the same amounts for like
grades of live stock. fixing uniform
selling price and ending with fixing q
uniform price of sale and an apportion-
ment among themselves of the total
business done.
"While the facts do not disclose an
absolute monopoly, yet the large per-
centage of the business which they
control indicates that they intend to
acquire at least a commercial monop-
oily"
May II the packers will appear and
plead to the charges or file petition
for bill of particulars.

SENATE AND
HOUSE PLAYING
HIDE AND SEEK
One House Is In Session, the
Other Is Not and Puz-
zling Situation Ensues
House Meets Today.

Washington, D. c., May 12.-The
senate and house Of representatives to
all appearances are engaged in a
game of hide and seek. The senate
was in session yesterday and the
house was not. The house was In ses-
sion today and the senate was not.
Tomorrow neither will be in session.
The senate will meet again on Monday
but the house will not. The house
will meet Tuesday but the senate will
not.
In the house today the most impor-
tant business promised was a report
from the committee on territories re-
commencing statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico, after the people Of each
territory shall have voted on proposed
amendments. A minority report sign
ed by the republican members OF the
committee urged the immediate admis-
sion or New Mexico.
The house has decided to adjourn
over Monday because the order for
that day is the discharge of commit
tees. One Of the discharge motions
would result in calling UP for action a
$40, 900 900 service pension. The pas
sage of this bill is not democratic
program for the extra session.
A parliamentary contest In the SEN
ate as exciting as the skirmishes that
marked the attempt to elect presi-
dent pro tempore yesterday was pre-
dicted for Monday, to which day the
senate Yesterday adjourned. Will the
senate hear the promised report OF the
finance committee on Canadian reci-
procity consider some other legislative
or continue balloting?
That question was variously an
swered.
Farmer Denounces Reciprocity.
Canadian reciprocity would cost the
farmers Of the northwest $40,000,00O
annually. according to A. H. Wilkin-
son, Minnesota farmer, who address
ed the senate finance committee today.
The profits of United States farm pro-
ducts would shrink that much. he de-
.lared. "A vital grievance Of the farm
ers, the speaker said, was that they
we're not consulted as to how they
would be affected by the proposed rec
iprocity.
4 "Do YOU believe that trade agree
ment would have been entered into
that would have injured the steel trust
,r the shce industry $40,000,000 year
without consulting them?' he inquired.
To prove the opposition OF the 1arm-
ers Of the northwest to reciprocity,
Mr.. Wilkinson invited senator's who
,avor reciprociety to visit that section.
Would Protect Government Employees.
Representative Bathrick of Ohio, to-
day introduced resolution to protect
employees who may be
called upon to testify before investigat-
ing committees Of congress. The reso-
luton sets forth that employees of the
fear persecution as a
penalty for testifying against their
and provides that no en-
ploye shall be subserved, reduced In
rating or discharged because of sucn
testimony.
Clark Presides, Though Sick.
Speaker Champ Clark against the
advice Of his physicians left his bed
,arly today and appeared In time to
preside over brief session of the
,ouse. He hopes to be completely re-
stored to health by Tuesday, to which
