Criminal Action Urged
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE mat
ter of formally declaring it the sense
of congress to favor the criminal
prosecution of the Standard Oil and
tobacco trust defendants will be
fought out in the open senate.
All efforts to reach an agreement
on the merits of the case have been
abandoned in committee. The ques
ton will be brought up for determine
tiOn at the first opportunity.
Senator Pomerene appeared this al
ternoon before the judiciary commit
tee and made a strong argument in
support of his resolution. 1t declares
the sense of congress to be that the
attorney general should at once insti-
tute criminal proceedings against
such defendants of the American To
bacco company and the Standard Oil
company as were named by the su-
preme court in its decisions of May
80, 1911, as guilty of violating the
Sherman antitrust law
The committee was told by Mr..
POmerene that it would not do to
prosecute the small offender and let
the wealthy viOlator of the law go
unmolested. There must not be one
construction for the rich and an
other for the poor. Such interpreta-
tion, he said, would soon cause the
people TO lose all respect for the law
and those charged with enforcing it.
He referred to the night riding cases
in Kentucky, where the farmer was
prosecuted and the tobacco magnate
who oppressed him was not disturbed.
He declared the time has come when
there must be no discrimination be
tween classes.
An agreement was reached by the
committee TO consider the subject no
further. when no decision could be
reached.
Senator Pomerene has an order
pending to discharge the judiciary
committee from further consideration
Of the resolution. thus bringing it be
fore the senate. This order will come
up automatically today. The men,
bers of the judiciary committee will
not strenuously oppose the PROPOSE
ton TO take the resolution from them.
Indications are that the motion to dis
charge will be adopted
The resolution does not make prose-
cution by the attorney general manda-
tory. 1t simply expresses the opin-
ion that if he has sufficient evidence
to secure conviction a criminal suit
should be brought at once.

are so made that they cannot help go
together right All bearings and bush,
ings are easy to replace. There are
no complicated springs, eys, ball bear
ings or other fittings, that only an
expert can properly adjust
Nor are there any parts Of which
adjustment is frequently necessary to
maintain good running or to conform
to varying conditions in the everyday
use of a cream separator.
De Laval Cream Separators excel
other separators not only in thorough
ness of separation, sanitary cleanli-
ness, ease of running and durability
but as well i'll their great simplicity.
There is nothing about the opera
ton, cleaning, adjustment or repair OF
a modern De Laval Cream Separator
which requires expert knowledge or
special tools.
A person who has never touched a
separator before can, if need be, un.
assemble a modern De Laval machine
down to the last part within a few
minutes and then reassemble it again
as quickly. This is something which
cannot be done outside a shop with
any other separator.
The only way to properly understand
and appreciate De Laval superiority to
other separators is to look over, and
better still to try, 1912 De Laval
machine. Every De Laval agent Is
glad to afford prospective buyers the
opportunity to see and try a De Laval
Separator.
