WILSON PLANS
DRASTIC &c REFORMS
Jersey Legl IIature Gets Seven
Bills Aimed at Trusts.
PROVIDE JAIL SENTENCES
to Acquire a Monopoly or Promote
TrtISfs

New Measure Makes 1t a MisdemeanoI
to Acquire a Monopoly or Promot.
Trusts.
Trenton. N. J., Jan. 21.-A sweeping
program of changes in the corporation
laws of New Jersey was announced by
Governor Wilson.
Not only would it be a misde,
meanor, under the proposed law, to
acquire q monopoly or interfere with
freedom of competition, but Jail SEN
tences are contemplated for those who
promote or organize trusts.
To effect these changes, seven volu
minous bills have been drafted by
Governor Wilson, Chancellor Walker
and Judge Van Syckel.
The first Of these bills provides for
q punishment not exceeding three
years Imprisonment and $1,000 fine for
any corporation, firms or individuals
who may agree to any of the follow.
ing:
To limit production or increased
prices.
To prevent competition in manufac
turing, transporting or selling any
commodity.
To fix any standard or figure where
by prices to the public shall in any
manner be controlled.
To make any agreement which shall
directly or indirectly preclude a free
and unrestricted competition among
themselves or any purchasers or con
sumers.
To make any secret oral agreement
whereby the same thing Is accom-
plished.
The other bills rule that corpora
tions shall not issue stock upon ficti
tious values Of property, but must
make "a fair bona fide valuation;
provide punishment by fine and impris
onment for those who organize cor
poration in restraint of trade; prohibit
holding companies; and prevent merg
ed companies from acquiring stock OF
other corporations.
It also is provided that the consent
of the public utilities commission must
be obtained when two or more cor.
porations desire to merge, and there is
q prohibition against improper dis.
elimination by corporations in prices
Of commodities in different communi.
ties.
Governor Wilson's bills were intro
duced BY Senator J. Warren Davis, OF
Salem, majority leader Of the senate.
The revenue derived by the state
from these corporations annually Is ap
= 4 a-a.s q
II the bills introduced disturb this
income in any way there is sure to be
considerable opposition to them. as the
amount thus derived would have to
come from some other source, and
there is none in sight just now save
the taxpayer, who is already protest,
ing against his burdens.
The trust evil in New Jersey will be
attacked in the legislature also by
Senator Carlton B. Pierce, Of Union
county, a Republican. Senator Pierce
will introduce a bill making the fed
eral Sherman antitrust law applicable
to New Jersey.

ance of the letters that represent person
alities has led to new effort to improve
handwriting. 1t is no longer permissible
to indulge an inclination to scribble or to
cultivate eccentricities in chirography.
Women are taking pains to- write dis
tinctly and with regard to the beauty or
the written page. Their script must be
clear and the daintier or the more vigor-
Gus they can make their style of FORM
ing ''pothooks and hangers the better.
1t was the pride of our grandmothers to
trace delicately symmetrical characters
upon scented paper and it was once
rather disgrace to send out a hastily
written note. But times changed and for
a quarter Of a century, ever since wom-
en- began to- be subject, to the mania for
doing too many things, the art of letter
writing with all 1t embraces. including
handwriting and grace of phrase, has
been neglected. Revival of interest in
what may be called the technique of
social correspondence Is perhaps only a
part of the general turning backward to
old-time fashions Of every sort, but 1t is
a revival much to be encouraged
Fortunately the ornamentation Of note
paper is rather simple. The mania which
caused American women to borrow crests
when they had no excuse for using them
has full acceptance. 1t has passed
through various phases: it has shrunk
and then expanded. Now its size is a
matter of individual choice. but rather
large letters are much In vogue.
If the monogram can be surrounded by
an odd device or IL 1t can be made rather
fantastic it makes special appeal to young
women. 1t may be brought out In several
colors or in gold or silver. The best form
must not deviate from what Is truly in
dicatfve of certain reserve, q we'll bred

rough everyday furs are used, such as
raccoon instead Of the softer seals.
These somber coats are made quite
glorious this season by the use of new
line which Paul Poiret brought into use
last autumn 1t is commonly known as
fruit silk, because apples peaches ana
oranges in their natural shades form the
design over a surface Of red or blue or
gray or brown. This silk was one or the
novelties of last autumn, but only for
lining. and now 1t has appeared IN
slightly modified coloring for gowns.
1t is too striking for the latter. all
though it can be cleverly combined with
silk or satin in the surface shade and
made into an attractive afternoon frock
1t is best as a lining, although it Is doubt
full whether it is exactly fitting in top
coat of English suiting. 1t comes as
surprise, and this is one of the creeds of
the day in costumes.
The fashion for fruit is well defined 1t

This is the topcoat Of heavy English

a new touch. So far peltry mas peeh
