ANGRY WITH SINISTER.
One Russian Paper Calls Him an Amer
lean Adventurer.

St. Petersburg, Nov. ls.-The inspired
press has begun bitter campaign
against w. Morgan Shuster, the Amer.
lean who is supervising the finances Of
the Persian government. He is accused
of overriding the authority Of the gov
eminent at Teheran and Of intriguing
against Russia
The semi-oificial Novoe Vremya pos
sibly foreshadows the intention Of the
Russian government when il says that
Russia, after her troops have entered
Persia, must not be satisfied with an
apology to the Russian vice-consul at
Teheran, NJ. Petroff, but must demand
the expulsion from Persia of Mr.. Shus-
ter
II was officially announced Thursday
that as the Persian government had
made no reply to the Russian ultimatum
of November II troops had been dis
patched to Persia and for the present
would be concentrated at Kasbtn, 100
miles northwest of the capital.
The Noyoe Vremya declared yesterday
that the expedition is directed princi-
paily against the American adventurer
Shuster.

DEMANDS CHANGE
IN ANTITRUST LAW
Senator cummins Declares Tobacco
Trust Incident Shouldn't Be
Repeated.

Washington, Nov. ls,--Change in the
Sherman antitrust law to prohibit such
a reorganization as that sanctioned in
the American Tobacco company case and
to prevent such delays in prosecution
as have occurred in the beef trust hear
ing, were declared necessary by SEN
ator Cummins yesterday at the hear
ings before the interstate commerce com
mittee Of the Senate.
Questioning II. b. Martin Of the anti.
trust league who opposed any amend
ment to the Sherman law, Senator Cum
Minis referred to the decree in the to-
bacco case authorizing the reorganiza-
tion Of four companies, and called atten-
ton to the announced purpose Of the
department Of justice not to interfere
with the reorganization.
II do not believe the organization
OF four companies viii restore competi-
tion but in the minds of the authorities,
it is apparently in harmony with the
antitrust law" said Cummins. I'm my
opinion the antitrust law viii not main
tain competition and it ought to be
amended and strengthened
Senator Cummins referred to pos
sibIe limitation OF the capital stock Of
corporations; diyorcing Of manufac-
turing business and transportation ele-
ments as changes in the law that would
lead to better competition
Mr.. Martin said that the antitrust
league Of which he is secretary, pro-
poses to fight the dissolution decree in
the American Tobacco company case on
the ground that it does not apply to
the antitrust law. He declared that
succeeding officials Of the government
in the last twenty-one years had failed
to enforce the law properly.
do you claim they betrayed their
trust?" asked Senator Cummins.
"That is strong language" said Mr..
Martin ''but in some cases | believe
they did"

has eleven and the state five peremp-

The jury box was filed with jurors
and accepted talesmen for the second
time late Thursday. Jacob Lansing, an

His fellows in the box are:

Lansing stands good chance, ii il
said, Of being the first man excused by
the defense. He is reported TO have
said that James b. Mcnamara was gull

OF the challenges allotted 20 the defense
So IS T. II. Elliott Expectations were

Complaints from employers OF large

That advertisement brought hundreds

This event has set people thinking
The result of that thought is the

Why should stenographer work for
such meagre wage!
Because he or she has graduated from
stenographic school, but never has
received sufficient education in spelling,
punctuation and the use of English.
Ii is this ignorance that Keeps the aver
age stenographic wage so low.
This is but one of the reasons why
The Times dictionary is so popular, for

defective education. The constant use
of handy dictionary so convenient in
