Mr.. Stanley called at tho White
House to protest against what he
called an abortion of the Sherman
antitrust law by AS.orney General
cree of the circuit court In New York
providing for the reorganization of
the tobacco trust. He paused in his
protest to hand few roses over the
party wall In the way OF congratula-
tions to Mr.. Taft upon his trust pol
ley, and after they had compared
notes on that question Mr.. Stanley
found himself persuaded that he had
not really given the attorney gener-
ais action In accepting the reorgan-
ization plan fair decision. So he
lugged away with him copies OF the
courts decree and the attorney gen.
erals brief. He promised the presi-
dent to DROP all formal opinions from
his mind and not reach a final con-
clusion until after he had thoroughly
studied those two documents. Be

wrath against the attorney general,
Mr. Stanley paused at the White

Kentucky sarcasm against Colonel
Roosevelt for his recent editorial at

Refers to Littleton's Speech.
In his conversation with the presi-
degt upon the trust question Repre-.
sentative Stanley referred to Mr.. Lit
tleton's speech before the Plttsburg
chamber OF commerce, In which he
advocated repeal of the Sherman
law and the passage OF substitute
federal incorporation law. Such a
course as that, Mr.. Stanley told the
president, after the years OF work the
government had done TO secure an
effective Interpretation OF the law by
the court, would be foolhardy. He
told Mr.. Taft that he agreed with
him that the Sherman law should be
left intact and that II any legislation
was to be passed 1t should be such
supplemental legislation to strength
en- the law, as Mr., Taft has suggest
ed. He congratulated the president
on his enforcement of the law.
