SHERMAN ACT SATISFACTORY
President and Attorney General Be
IIeve No Amendment Of ANTITRUST
Statute Is Needed.

washington.-Pres Taft and
Attorney General Wickersham VIII
set their faces against any attempt 70
amend the Sherman antitrust law
along the lines suggested by Judge
Gary In his testimony before the
Stanley committee Saturday. In
the view OF the administration the
sherman law needs no amending.
The policy of the administration
has been formulated after careful
consideration of the supreme court
decisions in the Standard Oil and TO-
bacco trust cases. In consequence OF
these decisions the attorney general
regards himself as perfectly equipped
now TO enforce the Sherman antitrust
law against all and every offender
against the law in the nation.
AS Attorney General Wtckershaim
interprets the decision in the tobacco
case-and this is most important
since it is contrary to the general
opinion that has been taken-the cir
cult court of New York has had the
case remanded back to 1t, not for the
purpose OF devising a means by which
the American Tobacco company may
continue business, but solely to arrive
at the most just and expeditions man
ner in which the company Shall be
dissolved.

ARGUES FOR GOOD WAGES.
Judge Gary Advises Steel Manufac

employees.

New York.-"Do not forget that the
employees of the corporations have
more at stake than the employers,
when questions of reducing prices be.
low what is reasonable and fair are
advanced. You have no right to run
the risk of being compelled to put
their wages below what they ought
to be unless you are driven to it. l
hope that, whatever may happen as a
result of present conditions, you will
not reduce the wages of your EN-.
ployes unless it is an absolute neces-
sity to do So"
In an address to the steel and iron
manufacturers of America at the Met
ropolitan club in this city a week ago
and made public on Sunday for the
first time, Judge Ebert II. Gary, chair
man of the board of directors of the

FARMERS BEING sUNcoED.
President Taft Answers obiectionists
to His Pet Project.

Chicago. - President Taft, in a
speech before the Western Economic
society here Saturday night, declared
that the principal opposition to Hthe
Canadian reciprocity agreement came,
not from the farmer, but from the
lumber trust" and from American
manufacturers of print paper.
In one of the most comprehensive
addresses he has ever made on the
subject, the president outlined some
of the methods employed by the OPP
ponents of reciprocity; practically
told the farmers that they were being
"buncoed" by special interests, and
said that the fate of the agreement
rested not so much with the United
States senate as with the people of
the country.

TO Overturned Boat.

Salt Lake City-Six members of a
pleasure party of sixteen, out for
sail on Utah lake, were drowned Sun
day when the little launch capsized.
They perished in the waves after
desperate battle for their lives which
lasted over two hours Ten other
members of the party, clinging to the
overturned launch, were rescued after
they had been in the water for more
than two hours.
The launch capsized as the result
of sudden gust of wind, which
caught the sail and overturned the
boat. The sixteen persons in the
party were thrown into the lake. All
of them chung to the boat as long as
they could. Then one by one the
doomed dropped off and drowned. In
each instance one person dropped off
the side of the boat and another at
tempted to go to the persons rescue.
In each instance both we're drowned.
Those drowned were Frank Brown,
aged 90; Vera Brown, aged 81; Helen
Brown, aged 10; Edward B. Holms,
Benjamin w. Raymond and his 5.
yearold son, Sherwood Raymond.
Holmes was engaged to Miss Vera
Brown, and the party was given in
honor of the approaching marriage of
the young couple. Captain Edwin
Brown, an old seaman, who saw three
of his children perish, owned the boat
in which the party took the fatal ride,
and was among those rescued, when
boat, passing in the distance, was
attracted by signals from the surviv
ors.
