to be no doubt, reasonable or plausible, of the existence of a sea serpent, of some 80 or 100 feet in length, and of the size of large barrel or cask.
 Indeed, so great was the sensation created by the movements of the monster, so repeatedly seen for successive years by so many witnesses, and described by them with such general detail and general concurrence, that the Linnaean society of Boston appointed a committee of eminent scientific gentlemen to collect evidence on the subject, and they drew up a report, giving in detail the deposition of numer- ous witnesses who saw the creature on shore or at sea, some of them from dls- tance of only 10 yards.
 According to these witnesses the mon ster was from 80 to 90 feet long, his head usually carried about two feet above the water; of dark brown color the body with 8 or more protuberances, compared by some to four-gallon kegs. by others to a string of buoys, and called by several persons punches on the back; motion very rapid, faster than that of a whale, swim ming mile in three minutes, and some times more, leaving wake behind him; chasing mackerel, herrings and other fish, which were seen jumping out of the water 50 ct time he approached
 It has been suggested that this creature is a mammal. If so, 1t would have warm blood, and would have to breathe at least as often as a whale, but as 1t remains below the water for days and weeks at a time, it is safe to say that 1t has cold blood, and is probably some kind of q snake.

Thinks It Adequate to Cover
 the Situation
NO FATAL WEAKNESS
Number of Criminal Prosecutions, However, Has So Far Been Too Small to Warrant Safe
 General Deduction
By SIDNEY EspEy

( Washington, August -tspecial)-In an exclusive interview with Attorney General George Woodward WickershaT of the department of justice, the effect iveness of the Sherman antitrust law as an instrument for breaking up monopo- lies and restoring competition was clear ly explained That the chief trust buste' of the present administration Is of the opinion that the law as it is written is ample to bring about needed reforms In both commercial and industrial life and tc reduce the present high cost of living without bringing about radical changes in the body polite is evident from his re- marks
 MT. Wickersham says that the Sherman law, as has been demonstrated in the Standard oil and American Tobacco cases, and will be demonstrated again fin the present suit against the Powder trust, Is adequate to compel the disin- tegration of monopolistic combinations into parts no one of which shall in its essential construction be an unlawful com bination, nor of sufficient power in any particular industry to constitute a mo- nopoly.
 MT. Wickersham was asked if the re- eults of recent trials by jury of trust of- ficials under criminal sections of the Sherman law show any fatal weakness in that section of the law.
 'The number of criminal prosecutions under the sherman law which thus far have been tried is too small to warran. any entirely safe general deduction, re- piled the attorney general. But the re- [ suits of those cases indicate that with respect to organizations of long growth

MAXIM BELIEVES
 |NSEA SERPENT Says Large Animals Live in Sea Not Recorded in
 Natural Histories

London. August 3i.-(Special)-Sir Hiram Maxim is firm believer in the sea serpent. The other day ne gave out this interview:
 'T think the time has arrived when we must admit that there are certain large animals living in the sea that are not de- scribed in any works of natural history. Messrs. C. A. Nichols & Co.,, Springfield. Mass, published in 1882, very remark able work In this find that in 1S5l and for some years following the sea serpent or sea serpents, appeared very often off tine New England coast.
 'It appears that there were two kinds of these monsters. On one occasion the animal that was seen had a hsh-like head, ,aty large eyes. gills and a continuous fin extending the whole length of it's lack, supported by numerous spnes. after @ manner Of a stickleback. It was sim ply . very large fish of an unknown ,ariety
 The monster that was seen great num- Der of times by numerous people had a body from so to 90 feet long. and about the diameter of large cask, with head closely resembling that of a snake.
 l quote the following from the publi- cation referred to:
 From all this testimony there seemed
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-01

iuries are indisposed to convict and that civil proceedings on the equity side of the court will prove more effective"
 The department of justice has recently tried three criminal cases. The prose- oution of the packers at Chicago, the "Bathtub" trust at Detroit and the Par sons sugar Srust case in New York. The attorney general thinks that verdcts of guilty In such eases are almost impossi- ble to obtain, unless there Is evidence of wilful unfair, fraudulent or vicious con duct, directly and injuriousy affecting competitors or the public. jurors are prone to lenieney. He also says that it is nearly impossible to get a verdict and very difficult to convict criminally for participation in contracts combina- tions in restraint of interstate commerce, or for endeavoring to monopolize busi- ness.
 The attorney general says that the day of unrestrained competition long ago passed. Cooperation is essential, he thinks, to the success of business and he says also that the tendency among busi- Eess men now in every field of activity is in that direction. Formerly he said big businesses were partnerships. This day has passed, because of the unlimited responsibility imposed on partnerships. Then came the growtffA of incorporated companies, the development of close re lations between them by agreement and through reciprocal stock ownership, fore ing out the individual and shutting off all competition.
 In explaining a remedy for this evil MT. Wickersham, continuing, said:
 Probably no one thing has done more to facilitate restraint of trade and the growth of monopoly than the departure from the early law that one corporation cannot own stock in another. That de- parture was the most baneful result of the laissez faire policy In dealing with corporations to which the country aban- Goned itself during the last 30 years of the 18th century.
 If Congress should enact that no cor roration engaged in interstate commerce shall hereafter acquire stock of another the axe would indeed be laid at the root of the trust evil. But justice to the in- rocent holders of the securities would require that consideration be given to their case and steps be taken for their protection.
 "The elements of a sound constructive policy should be- enforcing the Sherman law against all great combinations by re- quiring them to separate themselves into such parts as will remove all danger of monopoly; breaking all agreements and combinations between separate, inde- pendent, competing concerns the enact nent of proper adequate national law of corporate association which will enable legitimate enterprise to be organized un- der appropriate legal supervision.
 With such policy carried into effect the trust problem In its present form would be effectively solved.'

SCHOOL TRAININK IN ECONOMY
A Kansas Plan to Reduce the Cost of
Living


 From the Topeka Capital.
 The school year that has now closed has witnessed the successful working in the public schools of this city Of system that Is intended to do away with much of the "cost of high living" as James J.. Hill puts it. A course of manual training has been put into the grammar and high schools, and it is declared that much practical benefit is already evident among the pupils to be economical in their homes by supplying them with ideas that are taught by the old fashioned parents but have been much out of fashion in the present generation.
 Young girls are taught how to trim their hats, and are shown that headgear for which from $S to $15 is charged In the stores can be made by them at a cost of from s15O to $3. A similar saving IS shown in dresses, scarfs and other orna- nIents There Is practical demonstration of ways of making and mending furniture and in cookery and proper methods of
