CONGRESS CLEARS
LEGISLATIVE DECKS
Everything Points to Adjournment
of Session Some Time
Tomorrow.

Congress cleared up its legislative Pro.
gramme yesterday preparatory to ad-
journing tomorrow. The House had
been marking time waiting for the Sen.
ate to act on the appropriation bills.
After the Senate had spent most OF
the day in discussion on several sub
jects, Senator Warren. chairman OF the
Appropriations Committee. moved that q
night session be held to dispose Of the
appropriation bills. Senator Bacon OF
Georgia objected. on the ground that the
Senate had been in session for many
hours, and everybody was tired. Mr..
Bacon announced that he wished to make
a speech, objecting to the provisions In
the army appropriation bill, lengthening
the term of enlistment from three 10
four years, and creating a reserve corps,
and that he preferred to address the
Senate to-day.
Approve Conference Report.
While an agreement was being reached
on this subject the Senate approved the
conference reports on the sundry civil
and the Indian appropriation bills with
out debate. The legislative bill was
passed to take the place Of the measure
twice vetoed by President Taft, because
of the provision abolishing the Com
merce Court
The general deficiency bill. carrying a
total appropriation of about s11,ooO,ooo, was
reported to the Senate. This is the last
appropriation bill to be disposed of.
The only two conference reports re-
naming to be disposed of are the army
and the post-office supply bills. Finally
Mr.. Warren agreed to allow the consid-
Grafton of these two measures to go
over until to-day. 1t is not expected
that either will provoke much discussion.
1t Is practically certain that Congress
will be able to adjourn on Saturday un-
less an unexpected flibuster takes place.
Everybody Is tired and wants to go home,
however, and 1t IL not expected that
there will be any further Legislation
after the regular appropriation bills are
disposed Of

Works ON Consumer These
Days.
EVEN TO EDGE OF GRAVE

How the public bears the burden of
high tariff is vividly illustrated in a

Of the present Congress. Here is how
In burden upon the public:
"Under the present oppressive tariff

from his toll clad IN woolen suit taxed
Is per cent, shoes taxed u per cent.
stockings and underwear II per cent. a
cotton shirt taxed so per cent, and a

WICRERSHAM COMES
BACK AT ROOSEVELT
Attorney General Again Replies to
Colonels Condemnation of
Trust Busting Record.

! Attorney General wickersham yester-
day replied to Roosevelts latest attack
on the trust busting record of the Taft
\ administration. He said:
"Mr. Roosevelt started out with a de-
nunciation of former Senator Edmunds'
approval Of our administration Of the
Sherman law and declared that the only
result Of the DEGREES in the Standard
OIL and Tobacco Trust cases had been
to add to the already swollen and H.
gotten gains of the defendants and still
further to deny Justice to the general
public
In reply. pointed out that these de-
crees were controlled by the principle
establishd under Mr.. Roosevelt's admin
istration in the Northern Securities case
and that. IL the test OF the success of
such a disintegration was to be the
market quotations of the stocks after
distribution, the Northern Securities case
| furnished an example of great failure.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that the worst
blow the antitrust law had ever re-
ceived had been given by the decisions
rendered under my guidance in the clos
ing action taken against the Standard
oil and Tobacco Trust; that there was
no comparison between those cases and
the Northern Securities case. Adding,
broke up the railroad combination
"Thereupon I called his attention to
what Frank Kelog. whom he had en-
ployed as special assistant to conduct
the Standard Oil prosecution. said Of the
case. and added that we broke up the
combination in the tobacco and the oil
cases
Minimixes Only Achievement.
Now, Mr.. Roosevelt attempts to mini
mize the value OF the only real achieve
ment of his administration in the en-
forcement of the Sherman law by say
ing: Although We really did accomplish
something the Northern Securities case
was one of the things that convinced
me that the antitrust law by itself was
absolutely hopeless as a method of deal
ing with the trust problem All Of which
shows that Mr.. Roosevelt has shifted
his ground very materially since he be-
gan his attempts to belittle the work of
this administration in enforcing the Sher-
man law.
Il again commend to him the perusal
of the article of his attorney. Mr.. kellogg.
concerning the dissolution Of the Stand
ard Oil Trust, and also commend to him
the following passage from one of his
own speeches:
