Amendment to Sherman Law.

The San Francisco attorney added an
explanation of one feature Of the pro-
posed amendments to the Sherman anti
trust act of which he was the author,
and which he said Col. Roosevelt fully
approved. He explained:
Under the present plan, when the law
allows an individual to recover triple
damages for injury by a monopoly, it is
up to- the individual to prove the whole
case. How absurd in. say, the case Of
the Standard Oil Company, which cost
the government several million dollars
my plan is this: When the govern
ment obtains a judgment against the cor
poration, a certified copy of that judg-
ment shall be admitted as evidence in an
individuals suit for recovery, and it shall
be conclusive proof that the accusations
contained in the original suit by the gov
eminent were proved. The individual
then would have to prove only that he
was damaged by the acts decla red
proved and how much he was damaged :"
Mr.. Heney said he would leave tonight
for Wisconsin to make several speeches
and that he then would go to his home in
California.

ROOSEVELT OUTLINES
DETAILS OF PLAN TO
CONTROL THE TRUSTS

CHICAGO, October 13.-Col Roose-
welt, after long conference with
Francis ]. Heney Of San Francisco,
today made clear for the purpose
of publication his attitude on the
industrial commission with which he
proposed the trust situation shall be con-
trolled in America His announcement
came from the hospital here, and was in
speeches of Gov. Wilson. in which Col.
Roosevelt is accused of "endeavoring to
legalize monopoly by a commission,
(which would have police power to say
to favored corporation, you are legal.
and to an unfavOrable corporation, you
are Illegal
This absolutely is not my position, .
said Col. Roosevelt, lin fact, it is as near
the antithesis of my position as any dec
laration well could be-
Roosevelt Defines Position.
Mr.. Heney brought the statement from
the coloneis room, quoting the progress
i've candidate as follows:
Il explained IN part my position in my
Milwaukee speech when 1 said, in effect,
that the idea l had was that there be
passed new laws or that the sherman
antitrust act should be amended in such
way that here would be definition of
what was wrong, eliminating the rule of
reason feature; that there should be
this commission which would have the
power to sit in on the cOmpany's books
and business and should have the right
to bring about obedience to the law when
attractions were found.
Il had not made this explanation before
because / did not realize that the state
ments referred to. directed against my
position, had brought about any effect
on the public mind. they seemed so ap-
parently not my position.
Il have been informed. however, that
my position is not clear to all. SO / will
define it. l am in favor of new laws or
to provide such supervision as contained
in the La FOlletteLenroOt amendments;
I would provide in the statute provisions
which said this thing is wrong or that
thing is wrong; l would not have left
to the guess or judgment of any man or
men the determination of what was
wrong or right. or REASONABLY wrong or
reasonably right.
IF. for instance, a corporation should
be found crushing out competition by re-
fusing to sell when the patron bought of
competitors or by underselling in dis
tricts or in the dozen Of other ways that
Congress should learn were being prac-
ticed and should say were illegal, 1 would
have the statute say pointblank, with no
ioophole for escape, that the corporation
was guilty.

Like Interstate Commission.

II would have" continued Mr. Heney's
quotation of Col Roosevelt, 1.-THE commits
sion enforce the law much as the inter-
state commerce commission enforces the
railroad rate and rebate laws. with power
to see that the statute were obeyed.
81 would have the commission empoW-
cred to put men on the books of a cor
poration whose acts were questioned, so
that the responsibility of that corpora
ton and it's methods of conducting bust
ness would be at all times within the view
Of those whose duty it is to enforce the
law
Il find 1 am accused of wanting to give
the commission the power to fix prices.
l do not want now to provide that. 1
fancy the commission would be so busy
for a time in enforcing laws that it
would not want to concern itself with
prices.
I'm short" concluded Mr.. Heney's quo
tation of Col. Roosevelt, land urging that
the widest publicity be given my Mil
waukee speech, in which l defined this
thing, l would have Congress provide a
law on it's books that would define what
was wrong, SO that corp GRAFTON would
know before engaging in any act whether
it was or was not violating the law.
Then l would provide this industrial
commission with funds and power to
put men on the books of the corporation,
SO the government would know whether
the law was violated, and the further
power to compel corporations to observe
the law.
THAT would put corporations under as
complete control as the railroad stu
alton is today. The railroad commission
by its power to do the things I suggest
for the industrial commission practical
ly has eliminated rebating and other ills
of railroading. The commission would
have as wholesome effect on corporate
business"

The one thing Mallory was begin.

she would never take the point or
view he expected, and never proceed
ialong the lines OF bis logic.
She had grown furious at him for
what be could not help. She had told
him that she would marry him out OF

her rage would take.
And. 10 and behold, when she saw
him 30 downcast and helpless. she
rushed to him with caresses, cuddied
his broad shoulders against her
breast, and smothered him. 1t was
the sincerity Of his detection and the
complete helplesspess he displayed
that won her woman's heart.
Mallory gazed at her with almost
more wonderment than delight. This
was another flashlight on her charac-
ter. Most courtshtps are conducted
under q rose-light in which wooer
and wooed wear their best clothes on
their best behavior; or in q stariit,

The communion OF Mallory and
Marjorie under the benison OF recon
ciliation was invaded by the jokes OF
the other passengers, unconsciously
ironic.
Dr.. Temple chaffed them amiably:

couple to amuse US"
And Mrs. Temple welcomed them
with: You're only old married folks,
like U.s."
The Mallorys were used to the mis-
understanding. But the misplaced
witucisrns gave them reinsurance
that their secret was safe yet little

and in the long evening that followed
they were haunted by the fact that
this was their last night on the train,

Meanwhile the heaVy-eyed Fosdick

And his wife choked on her tea at
the wonderful traiu-change that had
come over the best man in Ypsilani.
By this time Fosdick had reached
the stateroom from which he had
been banished again at the Nevada
state-line. He knocked cautiously.
From within came an anxious voice:
Who's there?"
Whom did you e1pect?"
Mrs. Fosdick popped her head out

Mallory re1oiced to see that the
hurricane Of Marjorie's jealousy had
only whipped up the surface OF her
soul. The great depths were still
calm and unmoved, and her love for
him was in and Of the depths.
Soon after leaving Ogden, the train
entered upon the great bridge across
the Great Salt Lake. The other pas
