CAN GET LINE
ON MONEY TRUST
GOVERNMENT PROSECUTION Is
HALTED FOR LACK OF
EVIDENCE.

WASHINGTON. y. c.. April e.
The proposed prosecution of the
money trust has been abandoned for
the present. 1t was learned at the
department of Justice to-day that the
government does not think 1t has
enough evidence to warrant action.
The dropping OF the case, according
TO a high OFFICIAL, was due to inability
to connect the operations of the
trust with the terms of the SHEER
man antitrust act.
There Is little doubt but that there
is money trust" said this official,
and that 1t Is probably the largest,
most powerful trust in the world.
The department Is convinced of this,
and feels that something ought to be
done. In order to prosecute how
ever. It would be necessary ia show
that the trusts operations have re-
stricted interstate commerce"

walk in the evening. Unless the

Washington, August 9.-Indications
today were that congress would ad-

use leaders predicted that an
agl cement would soon be reached on
the wool bill, and some of them
thought that congress might wind up
as early as next Tuesday. Senator
Peurosc said that everything pointed
to auJournment by August 19 at the
latest
The senate leaders will insist on
holding long speeches and probably
will impose night sessions to hurry
the remaining business.
The house is annoyed at the delay
in compromising the wool bill. If
the wool bill conferees do not speed
lily agree it is probable the house will
move to discharge them.
