In the second place. they would be re-

granting OF home rule.
Mr.. Redmond considered that the oues-

Justice Wright Decides Bucket

District Of Columbia.
CRUSADE COMES TO NAUGHT
Attorney General Will Appeal
From the Decision Of the
District Justice.

WASHINGTON. March 30,-An at
tempt by congress so closely to define
the offense OF "bucketshopping" as to
make 1t impractIcable In the District Of
Columbia has resulted in the complete
failure OF Legislation on the ground OF
unconStitutionaity.
Justice Wright, In the district su-
preme court today. decided that the act
referred 10 constituted an unwarrant-
able interference with the rights of citi.
zens to enter into contract relations and
was therefore unconstitutional,
The particular point OF objection was

TO violate the law II tho broker. with
ont the knowledge OF the client, secretly

and does not necessarily affect the ac-
tlons which the department of jus tice
has begun Mt many other points against
alleged bucketshop operators. for the
prosecutions in those cases has bcen un-
der the postal laws on the plain ground
of fraud
Justice Wright based his decision on
the ground that the amendment TO the
tional because It deprives citizens OF
the liberty 10 contract guaranteed them
by the constitution.
The decision was rendered In tie case
OF Edward Altemas OF Jersey City and
Louis a. Celia and Angelo Celia of St

six others they were indicted for con

Attorney General Wickersham
Looks Into the Great COmbi-
nation in New York.
OPERATIONS ARE NOT
COVERED BY STATUTES
Legislation Along New Lines
Proposed to Remedy the Ex-
listing Situation.

WASHINGTON, March 30-A new
weapon is being forged out Of the gov
ernment experience in dealing with
monopoiies of trade and combinations
of capital, which, it was learned today
Attorney General Wickersham hopes to
present to congress in the belief that il
will be incorporated into law. just
what shape this proposed legislation
Will take has not been made known.
Combinations of all kinds, through
processes of reorganization, have man
aged to keep just step ahead of fed.
eral prosecution, and in many cases the
work of the department of Justice
therefore, has not always been so com.
pletely effective as was desired.
With view to meeting the problem
as it exists and as it promises to de
velop. the attorney general, within the
next few months, may take the most
important steps toward regulation of
combinations and monopoies since the
passage of the Sherman law.
Several instances Of alleged combi-
nations which the department of jus.
tice so far has been powerless to attack
because there was no law applicable 10
them, have been brought TO the atten,
tion of the attorney general, Promi.
ncnt among them is the so-called
'moncy trust in New York 1t was
pointed out that where. wear ago, the
great financial interests of New York
commonly were classified into three
groups, they now are popularity known
as one.
The New York Clearing House asso-
citation recently had unofficial notifi-
cation that Attorney General Wicker
sham s attention had been called TO its
methods of business. The association
engaged James M, Beck, former as
sistant attorney general, and other New
York attorneys to present an informal
statement of its methods to the de.
partment of Justice.
When all was finished, the attorneys
understood, tacitly at least. that ap-
parently there was nothing IN the busi,
ness of the New York Clearing House
association that could be construed as
coming under any of the laws now on
the statute books. Practically the
same thing took place at the New Or.
leans association last winter.
Nevertheless. the department of ius.
tice regards with some concern the con
centration of banking capital in New
York.
