CONTAIN
 NOW UNDER FIRE Government Files Suit in Ohio Asking for an
 Injunction

Cincinnati. December 4.-Sut was nied in the United States circuit court here late today against the National Cash Register coponanv of Dayton, o. charging the com many is in conspiracy in restraint of trade and that it be enjoined from lurther car- rving on such alleged illegal practlces as is set forth in the petition.
 The government does not seek to de- strov the National Cash Register com 1any as a corporation, but asks that IL pc nrohihited from selling cash registers and other registering devices in a manner that would prevent competition.
 The suit was filed by United States r,ist,ict Attorney sherman T. McPherson, who was assisted by Attorney o. E' liar rison. representing the interstate com merce commission. Those named as de- fendants are the cash register company and so officers, directors and district sales agents of the company.
 The government in its petition complains that the individual defendants, acting through the instrumentality of the cor poration. are seeking to eliminate. stifle and suppress other manufacturers and dealers engaged in making selling and shinping in interstate commerce, cash reg isters and other registering devices.
 It is further charged that the defendants have waged unlawful wars of extermina- ton against other competitors and have driven ,heK out of business. securing thereby about 95 per cent of the cash reg ister business. .lr
 One of the main charges contained in the petition is that the company sold cash reeisters below cost of production in various instances. where there was strong competition.

 John D. Rockefeller was not present at No 26 Broadway, the headquarters or the standard oil company, at the special meet ing in which his resignation was acted mon. The transformation of the busi- ness career of the man who has acquired a unique position in history and what Is generally regarded as the largest private fortune in the World, WAS tt per proceeding.

FINANCES TROUBLE PREMIER YUAN SH| His Appointees to Financial Board Refuse to
 Serve

Picking, December 4.-Premier Yuan Shi Raj is having great difficulties with the board of finance He appointed a presi- dent of the board who declined to serve The vice president left Picking after in- forming friends that the situation was hopeless. The acting president has now asked for a leave of absence on the ground of illness, but really because he was summoned before the national as sembly.
 A sensation has been caused by the dis covery that the national assembly, the Chinese foreign board and the board of finance hold three different texts of the s30,0OO 900 loan agreement negotiated by Baron Cottu in behalf of a Franco-Bel- gian syndicate. This was discovered, it is said, when a representative of the Chi nese foreign board appeared before the national assembly in secret session. It is on this loan that China's future form government partially depends.
 Consular advices say that the three days armistice at Wu- Chang will ter minate Wednesday morning. but that it will probably be renewed. Delegates from the rebel provinces are arriving at Wu Chang, and Yuan Shi Kals represent tatives are already there.
 According to Russian official reports, while Urga, capital of Mongolia. has de- clared the autonomy of the central prov inces only. the Amaban. or Chinese rep resentative, has asked the Mongo prince s permission to depart
 .If reports. are correct, there is d strange association of Japanese with the rebels in, south Manchuria. Heretofore fear of Japanese aggression has prevented the Chinese from accepting the assistance of the Japanese.

dissolution of Standard Oil was not dis closed from any authoritative source. It is generally understood the decision of the supreme court hastened the retire ment of men whose advance years made it certain they could not retain their places much longer. It Is regarded as probable that MT. Rockefeller and his associates thought younger men should rearrange the affairs of Standard Oil under the new scheme.
 MT Rockefeller for nearly 10 yea~s has been only nominally associated with Standard oil. He has visited 2s Broadway only about once year and his stays we're usually limited to a few minutes. After the death of H. H. Rog- CTS. MT. Rockefeller's visits became more frequent for time until gradually the duties were shifted to Mir Archbold The succession of Mir. Archbold to the presi- dency had been expected, MT. Moffett, who was elected first vice president of the reorganized New Jersey oil company, is one of the best comparatively new men in the Standard Oil company. He was pres ident of the Standard oil company of Indiana when Judge Landis imposed the S29, ,OOO, ,OOO fine upon that company
 w, C. Teagle, elected second wee president is a man under 40 but long ago acquired a reputation for marked ability in the oil trade. He was an s1dependent reflner in New York state when he sold out to the Standard and took A position as head of it's expert department which is said to have de- veloped enormously under his manage ment. He was elected director in June, 1910. |.
 From an unofficial source 1t was learned today that the Standard oil company of New Jersey has no 1nten- tion to change its present capitalization of s1O0,0O0,00o.

Senators Initiated

Washington, December 4.-Congress re- assembled today. It initiated into of- flee two new senators and five new rep resentatives and in the lower branch, presented the sensational spectacle of an opening day philipic, speech by Rep resentative Littleton of New York, demo- crat, who for 70 minutes inveighed against the so called American Antitrust league. That organization had attacked him in connection with his attitude toward the so called Steel trust inquiry.
 Close upon that speech, which demo- crats and republicans alike accorded fre- quent applause, Republican Leader Mann, ill resolution bespeaking the respect in which the New York member was held, called for a formal investigation of the efforts to ''blacken the character" of MT. Littleton.
 It was the first regular session of the Sixty-second Congress, session expected to be replete with remarkable develop ments and which may stretch over a period longer than usual sittings. The session is counted upon to deal with tar iff trusts, currency and arbitration and q host of other. big problems but all activ- ity will be with a view to the effect on the coming presidential campaign. Senate Session Short The Senate sin session today only
 
 tinued its proceedings for two hours and IS minutes. The Senate decided to meet here at o'clock beginning tomorrow, un- til legislative needs put the hoW back to noon. The House, however, will con- | tinlie to meet tomorrow and hereafter ut noon.
 Vice President sherman and Speaker J Clark, respectively called the two houses to order. There was an exceptionally full ' attendance of senators and representa- ' tives. The galleries in both chambers N were inadequate to accommodate all the M visitors. fa4s
 Party lines and personal differences { were seemingly obliterated in the ex- \ change of greetings among senators and \ representatives, many of whom met for the first time since adjournment last Au- X gust. Senator's Gallinger of New Hampshire and Tillman of South Carolina, the for ! nier of whom was called away from the extra session by the death of his son N and the latter forced away by his own |iillness, were greeted with especiai warmth Senator Williams of Mississippi l was present, although suffering from an

 Others struggled in slowly. Half an hour before the opening 50 members had entered. Longworth was an early arrival. There was general hand shaking all around, till the gavel fell.
 Speaker Clark entered the hall at 11;So, and passed around among the boys shak- ing hands
 John Burnett came in early. He was the first member of the Alabama delega- ton to appear on the floor.
 Serene Payne came in eight minutes be- fore the opening and circulated among the members with friendly handshake
 Archie Butt came on the floor just be- fore the opening and greeted friends.
 Hehin and Dent of Alabama came in five minutes before opening, and were warm 1y greeted by their associates. They were closely followed by Richardson, Clayton, Taylor and Hobson.
 The visitors galleries were crowded and many were turned away half an hour before the opening. Uncle Joe Cannon was Tn his place Just in time for prayer.
 Underwood Enters
 Speaker Clark and Leader Underwood appeared on the stroke of noon They took their pIaces and the great Marathon was on. s4-..s......1at
 Republican Leader Mann and Ollie James stroled in just as the call of states was begun.
 The Senate session lasted F minutes The galleries were crowded to the limit and there was pretty much the same air of interest as in the House. Senators Johnston and Bankhead were in their places. .sA-..fss
 In the House Congressman Blackmon of Alabama was given leave of absence on account of sickness in his family.
 Senator Johnston today wrote lettes to the Secretary of the Interior asking for all the available information on the transfer of lands in Alabama from the Creek and other Indians to white pur chasers. At the same time he addressed a letter to the department of justice ask ing that suits intended to clear up these old claims be suspended until Congress has time to in, estigate He called the at tention of the department to the fact that T5 years had been allowed to elapse before athe Indian claims were questioned and " that now Congress might be given few months to investigate before suits are brought.
