 Punish Magnates
Especial from United Press.) }

Washington, Dec. 13-Prison sen- tences for individuals violating the regulations of a proposed business court or controlling commfssi> n'', were suggested today by Perkins, for- mer partner of J. P. Morgan, before the Senate Interstate Commerce Com mission.
 Perkins said that revocation of li- censes would not be sufficient and that a business court, to be effec- tive, should have power to send the ma!efactors to jail. He suggested the business court" as a means of i'm mediate solution of the trouble, and said it should be composed of experi- enced men and made a part of the Department of Commerce. and Labor. This body, he said, should have power to license corporations doing an inter- state or international business. Pub licity should be the essential feature, he said.
 Each company should be required to secure the. approval of the commission of all it's affairs from capitalization to business practices.
