tions made an investigation OF its own
Several Congressional committees, among
them those headed by Representatives
Stanley and Pujo, have conducted extern
sive investigations with view to pre-
pairing bills to amend or supplement the
Sherman law, and they expect to put
the result Of their labors into concrete
form this winter.
When Commissioner Davies found that
his speech had been misunderstood he
promptly issued statement to the Ell
feet that the work of the Congressional
committees had been careful and
thorough and that the committees would
as a consequence address themselves to
the task of devising remedies for present
conditions. His own bureau simply pro-
posed to study the trust problem from
fundamental standpoint, in no way al
fecting the immediate remedies which
Congress may find necessary. A consid-
erably enlarged appropriation for the
bureau of corporations will be asked this
winter, and part of it is for the purpose
of conducting the trust inquiry.
Numerous instances of trusts which
dissolved because they were not so
profitable as Independent enterprises in
the same industry will be taken up by
the bureau in the course of the inquiry.
Furthermore, there are several trusts
to day which are not earning dividends
so large as those of independent concerns
in the same line Of business. The bureau
OF corporations win seek to learn wheth-
err there is point reached in the growth
OF trusts where they become unwieldly
and less efficient than smaller concerns
and, if so, what the reasons for this CON
dition are If the facts bear out the
theory that beyond certain point the
trust is not an economic form Of organ
ization, it is felt that harder blow viii
have been dealt industrial monopolies
than any which can be delivered through
legislation by Congress.

JEROME MUST SHOW HIS HAND.
Judge Aldrieh Wants to Know the Full
Charge Alleged Against Thaw.

Concord, N. H., Nov. l9.--By direction
OF United States District Court Judge
Edgar Aldrich, and for the purpose of
clearing the court record, Harry X.
Thaw was arrested yesterday on the ex-
tradition warrant issued few days ago
by Governor Felker.
The new arrest was technical, and
while it changed Thaw's legal status,
it made no difference IN the limited free
dom he has enjoyed since his arrival
at Colebrook several weeks ago as a flu
gitive from Justice. Governor Felker
granted the extradition Of Thaw on the
ground that he had been indicted in
New York county for conspiracy to es-
cape from the Matteawan insane asy-
hum. and the rearrest was necessary so
that the court could deal with his case
without facing endless legal complica-
tions.
Judge Aldrieh made it plain to Will
liam r. Jerome that he will attempt to
ascertain whether Harry X. Thaw Is
charged with an extraditable offense.
He said he considered this point impor-
tant and would order court records to
be printed and briefs to be submitted
in writing before the date of the oral
hearing on the federal habeas corpus
writ.

Masked Man overcomes Clerks on South

SAM Francisco, Calf, Nov. l9.-For
more than an hour Monday night, a
masked highwayman was in complete
charge of the mail ear on the Southern
Pacifc's shore line limited No. II from
Los Angeles between San Jose and this
city, while the three mail clerks lay on
the floor, bound with ropes and their
heads covered with sacks. The robber
carefully helped himself to all the regis
tered mail, going through the letters
and packages and discarding the money
orders and other articles which he did
not want.
The robber entered the side door Of
the mail ear as the train was leaving
San Jose for San Francisco. 1t runs
from San Jose to San Francisco without
a stop. Until the train reached the out
skirts of the city, the man was engaged
in rifing the mail and keeping up a
running conversation and warnings to
the three helpless clerks. As the train
reduced its speed upon entering the
wards, the robber poeketed his plumber,
babe the clerks good night, jumped from
the car and escaped. The amount Of the
loot could not be learned.

NEW STUDY
OF TRUSTS
Whether They Are Efficient
and Eco

DAVIES CONTINUES
REDFIELD PLAN
Will Not Interfere With the
Work of Con-
gress

Washington, Nov. lo.-The most inter
esting of the several industrial inquiries
started by the department of commerce
is one which will be conducted by the
bureau of corporations, under Commits
sioner Davies, whose announcement OF
the DEPARTMENTS intentions at first
caused d furry in Congress, where It
was feared that an attempt was being
made to usurp some of the functions OF
the legislative body. The new inquiry
will be for the purpose of determining
whether the trust form of business or
oanization is really efficient and eco
nomic.
The idea belongs to Secretary Redfield,
although Commissioner Davies made the
announcement of the proposed inquiry IN
d speech few days ago. Last winter Mr.
Red6eld prepared a series OF lectures to
be delivered at Harvard on the subject:
'1s the trust form of organization IN
dustriaIly efficient?" The lectures were
never delivered, because Mr.. Redfield re-
ceiyed cabinet portfolio and assumed
his official duties before the dates set for
the lectures. Secretary Redtield has now
turned the question which formed the
title OF the lectures over to his bureau
of corporations and that bureau VIII en-
deavor to find an answer
"This is not an antitrust inquiry, as
it has been described in some quarters,
said Secretary Redfield yesterday. 1T
does not clash in any way with the work
which has already been done by various
committees of Congress. 1t is an at
tempt to discover after careful study,
whether there is great natural law
governing industrial combinations which
is more powerful and controlling than
any laws which can be made by govern
ments. For instance, in the trust form
of organization, after certain point OF
production has been reached at mimi
mum cost do certain other factors be-
Gin. to assert themselves which produce
i very marked change in the situation?
The inquiry which it is intended to make
will not be hasty one, for it goes into
phase of the trust problem which has
received little or no study up to this
time"
When some of the Democrats in Con-
qress first read Commissioner Davies
speech in which he said that mo govern
mental or other agency" was endeavoring
to obtain scientific information on the
trust question as a whole, there was an
assumption that Congress might be ex-
pected to halt its plans for antitrust
legislation while the bureau OF corpora

Investigators Not Inclined to
Call More Witnesses.

Exoneration of Lieutenant Governor
O'Hara of the charges made in an
affidavit by Miss Maude A. Robinson
of Springfield, ILL.,, is expected after
an executive session of the EttlesOn
senatorial investigating committee
here.
A report clearing the state official
of the charges was forecast after a
statement was made to that OBJECT by
a senator who has been actively en-
gagged in the proceedings. He said
just before the committee returned to
Springfield that taking of testimony
has been completed.
1t was said that neither Thomas
Vredenburgh, son Of Springfield
millionaire, mentioned as a member
of Miss Robinson's party, nor Samuel
Davis, who was said to have insti-
gated the affidavit, would be called.
1t was stated that the committee felt
that enough evidence had been intro
duced to exonerate the lieutenant
governor and that he was the only
one they were interested in from an
official standpoint.

ORIGIN of PAPER.


At various times the scholars of diff
ferent countries have tried definitely
to determine the real discoverer of pa
per in the eleventh century. 1t is to
paper that we owe the renaissance of
letters. From time immemorial some
thing answering modern paper was
used In China, where it was manufac-
tured from silk About the middle of
the seventh century OF our era there
seems to have been esta blished in Ara
bia a mandatory of paper and fifty
years later the way was discovered to
make it from cotton instead of from
silk. silk being rare commodity out
side of China at that time and cotton
relatively plentiful. In the reign of
Henry H. Of France Greek scholar
was sent to Paris to arrange sys-
tematically catalogue of antique
manuscripts in the royal library. and
a notation in his hand speaks of what
was then known as paper" as orig
mating in Damascus. The later in.
vention of making paper FROM fax, lin.
en- or hemp has been attributed equal
ly to Italy and Germany. but there IS
evidence that it existed prior to the
fourteenth century.-H arper's.
