J. D. ROCKEFELLER
Well Content With the Present Anti
Trust Law, He
Says.

Oyster Bay, n. ", Aug l6.-In reply
to the statement of former Senator Geo.
r. Edmunds of Vermont, who declared
the Taft administration had faithfully
enforced the Sherman act and that the
bull moose party would not enforce anti
trust laws, Col. Roosevelt yesterday
made spirited attack on John ID. Rookie
Teller, the American Tobacco Co. and
other trusts and trust magnates. He
said:
Senator Edmunds is in thorough ac-
cord with Mr.. Rockefeller and the Ameri-
can tobacco trust people. He takes pre-
cisely their view. They are even better
contented with the method of enforce
ment of the antitrust law, Of which he
approves, than he is himself. | do not
wonder that Senator Edmunds and Mr..
Rockefeller and the tobacco trust people
feel that all that is necessary is to CON
tinue without change the present anti
trust law and the present method of its
enforcement"

Varied Uses of Pearls.

During the palmy days OF the Ro-
man empire pearls were greatly es-
teemed as ornaments by the women
of fashion, though after its downfall
they were again chiefly used for the
decoration Of inanimate objects. and
it was not until medieval days that
they again served the purpose Of per
sonal decoration. In England they
were not really appreciated for the
latter purpose until the fourteenth
century, Yet throughout every coun.
try and in every country from com
paratively early times we see pearls
depicted by contemporary artists in
such Of their works as survive.
