cision of the Indianapolis court in

Clarence Darrow said: ut was to

The third panel of veniremen was
qualified today by Judge Bordwell
and the early part of todays session
was devoted to this task.

Members of President Taft's party are
today rejoicing over a tilt that took
place between the president and Pitts
burgers at the banquet in the smoky
city which was given in honor of the
chief executive during his visit there
When the after dinner speaking
stage had arrived, the members of
the Pittsburg Chamber OF Commerce,
carried out formulated plan OF
batting" the president, on the trust
question.
Scores of millionaires and officials
of the steel trust attended the feast
and Congressman Martin Littleton
was designated to cast the bait for
the president.
In a warm speech, Congressman
Littleton bitterly denounced the
Sherman Antitrust law and demand
ed that it be repealed Immediately,
declaring that some business enter
prises were victims of the law, while
others of the same character had es-
capped its coils
The banqueters cheered the con-
gresham loudly, and President Taft,
mad clear through to the core, un-
masked himself OF his famous smile,
arose to his feet, and after attacking
Littleton's argument with much AMI
vociferous pounding on the table,
which caused the dishes to rattle, he
shook his fist (the size of a ham) at
Littleton and denied that the law was
Indefinite and challenged any one to
name n corporation that was innocent
which had suffered or had been con-
yicted under the Sherman law.
Mr.. Taft stated that he knew that
he was talking to men who favored
the trusts, but still he believed the
law was just and predicted that other
trusts would meet their downfall,
through it. or that socialism would
step into the government.
