| TRUST LAW CHANGE
Files Report on the Steel In
Vestigation.
WANTS A JOINT INQUIRY
New Yorker Objects to Stanley Rec.
ommendatIon to Put Burden Of
Proof Of "Reasonableness"
on Corporations.

Washington, July 24.-Representa-
tive Martin w. Littleton of New York,
member of the Democratic majority
of the house steel trust investigating
committee, formally presented his
views to the committee, dissenting
from the legislative recommendations
of Chairman Stanley. He agreed to
sign the Stanley report with many
reservations.
That left Mr.. Stanley with but two
other members of the committee Of
nioe in complete accord with him.
tt y are Representatives Beall Of
Te Is and McGillicuddy of Maine.
Favors Joint investigation.
Mr. Littleton favors a Joint body Of
the senate and house to study the
trust question and the exclusion from
interstate commerce of corporations
in restraint of trade. He declines to
support a proposed bill to put on a
corporation the burden of proving 1t
is a reasonable" restraint Of trade.
Such bill, Mr.. Littleton says, would
preserve the chief fault Of the Sher-
man law, which is the policy Of a
belated attack after a concern has
grown up instead Of providing any
means of prevention"
Mr.. Littleton discusses the bill at
length and has much to say Of the
future of the question.
Amendment OF Law Demanded.
"Organized business generally, while
welcoming a short period of peace.
lives in dread of the future: organized
politics stands confused in front of
the problem. and organized labor in
cessantly demands the amendment Of
the Sherman antitrust law" says the
New Yorker. Neither the radical nor
the conservative in politics Is salts
aed with it. Neither organized labor
nor organized capital approves 1t.
The real vice In the treatment OF
the whole problem heretofore has
been the attempt to legislate solely
against the result or effect Of a series
Of acts instead of specifically defin-
ing and prohibiting these acts. In an
effort to prevent and punish confess
eddy conspicuous evils We have set all
business cropping and feeling about
with uncertain step like a man in the

WALTON REVEALS
A MURDER PLOT
New York Gambler Said to Have
Made a Full Confession.
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SALESMAN
Collector Of Graft For Police Depart.
ment 6etrays Officials Higher Up"
AS Behind the SIaying-Widow.
Before Grand Jury.

New York, July 24.-Harry Vallon,
partner of "Bridgy" Weber In numer-
GUS gambling ventures and who was
arrested on a charge of completely
in the murder of Gambler Herman
Rosenthal, Is said to have made a
full confession to District Attorney
Whitman.
WALTON Is supposed to be a travel
Ing salesman, but his wife admitted
that he had been acting as collector
for the police, In gathering up the
graft profits from the gamblers.
His confession is reported to have
covered the entire murder trail and
to lead to several men high up in the
police department Of New York, pre-
cisely the men whom the district at
torney has believed were responsible
for the killing.
Mrs. Herman Rosenthal, widow Of
the murdered man, was before the
grand jury nearly an hour. She Is
reported to have told all she knew of
Rosenthars dealings with Lieutenant
Becker and the differences which led
up to Rosenthal's threat to disclose
the grafters and the graft in the po-
lice department OF New York.
District Attorney Whitman ex-
pressed the belief that Lieutenant
Becker, If granted immunity, will lay
bare the entire net work of graft and
corruption which made necessary to
the police system the removal OF
Rosenthal.
After considering all probable and
even improbable theories that might
help in clearing up the Rosenthal
murder case, District Attorney Whit
man today admitted his doubt that
the assassin of Rosenthal escaped in
the much described gray car. Whit
man said that the auto standing near
the Metropole with its number tag
lplainly disclosed might have been for
blind, that the men who climbed In
to 1t after the shots were fired might
have done so to detract attention from
the murderer who could have been in
the crowd and easily have escaped.

PLAN NOVEL STATE COLONY
COLoNlSTS TO GET FARMS AT
FAIR MARKET VALUE,
Wisconsin Proposition Eliminates
Profits of Speculators-Money
To Common Fund.

Madison, Wis, July 24.-Special
Governor McGovern has appointed a
committee to investigate a PROPOSE
ton laid before the state board of
public affairs which has to do with
the solution of the land problem in
Wisconsin.
1t has been proposed to the state
board of public affairs by Albert L.
Williams of Madison that the state
start a colony of it's own on a new
and original plan.
The plan is to put colonists into
right relationship with tracts of non
productive land, without paying trib.
ute to the spectators or middlemen.
1t is proposed that the state acquire
the land at it's cheapest wholesale
price, sell it to colonists for its fair
market value, the entire profit to be
converted into communal fund for
the benefit of the cOlonists.
This is to cut out the petty specu-
lator, who otherwise would be sure to
take advantage of the cheap land, and
actually is intended to place it in
the hands of bona tide settlers at
Wholesale prices 1t is intended also
to multiply the efficiency of individual
savings by using them comparatively
1t is expected to do still more by en-
forcing a community spirit, for the
administration of the communay fund
is left in the hands Of the colonists
themselves, subject to the veto power
of the board of commissioners to in
sure against acts of folly--a reserve
power which it is hoped the commits.
