Remember the fly has six feet with
which he can carry dirt. 1t is just like
when you have walked on a dirty street
and made your shoes dirty. Your mother
has some dirt on the carpet as soon as
you get into the house. The fly walks
about in the sugar and wipes his feet
and cleans himself off. Then when some
one eats the sugar he gets a germ in

HITS MOVING PICTURE TRUST

Samuel Untermyer OF New York be.
fore the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce today protested against
the proposed acquisition by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road of the controlling interest in the
Rutland railroad. and attacked the COM
bination OF moving picture interests.
Mr.. Untermyer contended that the
government should not "sit idly by and
see New England and adjacent territory
apportioned out among the railroads.
He said the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad already has acquired
q large part of the stock of the Rut-
land, which operates from Burlington.
VT, southwark to Boston over the New
Haven roads Boston and Maine tracks
and to New York over the New York
CentraTs tracks.
Manipulation Is Alleged.
He referred to manipulation of the
New York, Ontario and Western rail-
road, and said that the New Haven
road. in partnership with the New York
Central. owns the Boston and Albany
railroad. Mr.. Untermyer characterized
the manipulations of the two big systems,
the New Haven and the New York Cen
trail, as simply swapping clubs He
said that in the east, where the corporate
interests are strong, the state railroad
commissions could not regulate this mat
ter as federal commission could.
will there be any steam railroads IN
New England left out of the control of
this combined SYSTEM" asked Senator
Newlands.
One Road Only Not In Lit.
''Ons road only" answered the witness,
1.-The Central Vermont"
DO You seek to prevent acquisition of
these roads as in violation of the anti
trust law or to protect the minority stock
holders?'
I'm my warfare against the corporation
abuses in New York I am urging protec-
ton of the vast minorities, but here l am
trying to show that there is open viola
ton of the antitrust laws"
Mr.. Untermyer commended for legisla-
ton to accord the same civil remedies to
any minority stockholders as are enjoyed
by majority stockholders and to make the
United States a party to any such litiga-
ton.

Undoubtedly the sending of troops from
Fort Sam Houston over to the vicinity
of Juarez will necessitate the dispatch
ing OF troops from garrisons farther
northward away from the border line to
make up the deficiency in the garrison
there. Where these troops will be taken
from is not kr own, but they will probably
come from the Department of the Gulf.

Texas, and possibly some from as far
north as Fort d. A. Russell. Wyo., in the

The Department Of the East might also

the situation becomes more serious than
it is at present, or fighting between the

erty by the firing Of shots across the
