MOVE IS Significant
According to Special Agents if Gov

Washington, July 2S.--Attorneys
for the electrical trust have submit
ted to Acknowledgement Wicker
sham a decree on which 1t is said
they were willing to have entered
gainst the alleged combination in
the government suit for dissolution.
Significance of this move is that the
trust is willing to dissolve without a
fight. 1t is said that with some
probable notifications the PROPOSE
tion may be acceptable to the de-
partment of justice.
Wade H. Ellis, the governments
-pacial counsel In the case, and At
tor,ey-General Wickersham have
had several conversations with law
yers or the combination about the
acts which should be presented in
the proposed decree.
The decree itself is regarded by
the department of justice as largely
formality. So far as the govern
ment special agents can learn the
trust began to dissolve soon after
the government filed action against
the Electric Light Bulb Section and
the voluntary dissolution soon fol-
lowed of about sixteen other pools

lawrence b. Stringer, Democrat,
fe1g af the stand before the. senate
f.ni inner committee. Neither threw
much light on the methods by which
aiimer defeated them for the sena-
torial toga, but each made valuable
contributions as to how the political
game Is run in Illinois.
In an optimistic way Senator Bill
lv Mason told how the senatorial
bee buzzed around him so long that
he had developed a chronic case of
senatorial ambition. Pessimistic
and disheartened the Democratic
candidate for senator In 1909 ex-
pressed the opinion that his party in
Illinois lacked force generally.
MIR. Stringer told of his fight in
the Illinois Legislature for election to
the senate and OF his never failing
hope that he would land in the SEN
ate by an accident"
Just how it happened that So
Democrats voted for Lorimer, max
ing the Democratic party a factioR
of the Republican party Mr. String
er testified he did not know although
he said he had an opinion hieh the
committee did not ask for.
He gave the name Of Il. 0. Phil
lips, then a reporter for the Chicago
Record Herald having told him once
he had heard that fund was being
raised to elect Lorimer to the senate.
Judge stringer said he saw Roger

@My recollection Is that he told.
me there was something in watch,
Luke had told him and he said ho.

from electing Hopkins" said the
