ISTEP TOWARD
| The TRUSTS
A Move for an Interstate
Trade Commits
sion
PART OF BUREAU
OF CORPORATIONS
Will Investigate and Rec
ommend Legis-
lation

! Washington, Nov. II. - Legislation
creating an interstate trade commits
sion, and which shall be merged with thu
bureau of corporations with far reaching
powers of investigation coupled with au
thority to recommend legislation to con
gress, will be introduced at the wintei
session and pushed by the Wilson admin
istration as an essential part OF thu
Democratic trust program. Senator
Newlands of Nevada, chairman of tht
committee on interstate commerce, has
drawn the administration bill.
! The measure applies to all corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce ex
cept common carriers. The commission
viii be composed of three members APP
pointed by the president OF whom nc
more than two shall belong to the same
political party to hold Office for nine
years at a salary of $4,000 a year. In
all probability the commissioner of cor
porations in Office at the time of the
passage OF the bill. will be appointed
chairman of the commission.
A striking feature of the bill is that
the commission is given the power to
collect any information regarding the
Organization, business, financial condi-
ton, conduct and management of their
subsidiaries, at such time, to such de-
gree and extent and in such form as may
be prescribed by the commission, and the
commission at all reasonable times, or
its duly authorized agents, shall have
complete access to all records, accounts,
minutes, books and papers of such cor
porations and their subsidiaries, includ.
ing the records of any of their executive
or other committees" This information
shall be public records. This last pro-
vision is new departure, for hitherto
facts regarding corporations filed with
the government have been held as conf.
Dental, thus giving the commissioner Of
corporations and the president, to whom
alone he could report, unusual influence
over corporations, and leading in the
past to charges that the president was
holding the whip over big business" in
order to secure campaign contributions.
The publicity provision is of peculiar in
terest at this time because Commissioner
Davies Is secretary of the Democratic
national committee
The body OF the bill is concerned with
the powers of the interstate trade com
mission in regard to securing facts from
corporations. These powers are drastic
and apparently complete. The final sec
ton of the Newlands bill requires the
commission upon the complaint of any
person or corporation, or upon its own
initiative, or upon the request OF the
attorney general, or of the corporation
affected, TO investigate any corporation
for the purpose of determining whether
it has been guilty of violating the
Sherman antitrust act, thus materially
strengthening the prosecuting arm OF
the government.

Of Manslaughter in Killing
His Neighbor, Ossie
Prouty
WILL BE SENTENCED
ON THURSDAY
Verdict Returned in Wind
ham County Court on
October 16


Newfane, Nov. IA verdict of guilty
of manslaughter was returned in Wind
ham county yesterday afternoon against
Lou A. Foster of Halifax, who on the
evening of October Is shot and killed his
neighbor, Osse Prouty. Judge w. w.
Miles announced that sentence would be
pronounced Thursday morning. Foster
remained cool during the time when the
verdict was rendered and the lawyers
were consulting regarding the time for
the sentence TO be pronounced.
The jury took the case at l;l5 yester-
day forenoon and after celebrating until
1880 they went to dinner, resuming con-
sideration of the case at l:l5. 1t was
shortly after two o'clock that they an
nounced their ability to agree, and Eos
ter was brought into court to hear his
fate.
When he delivered his charge to the
Jury, Judge Miles defined murder in the
second degree and manslaughter, under
which it would be possible to convict
Foster--and then defined self defense.
He said that while self defense is, as
had been argued, "a God given and stat
utory right" it is not hiring place for
the guilty and before the respondent
can claim it and be justified in
his claim in the opinion of the
jury they must believe that the
killing of Prouty was absolutely neces-
sary. If the jury should believe that he
h. "a, Ia
Tending himself the respondent becomes
the aggressor. On the other hand he
charged that to justify self-defense it
was not necessary for him, the respond
ent, to suffer bodily harm. If he saw
Prouty coming at him in a hostile man
ner, even though the respondents action
was the result of nervousness or fear, he
would be justified in taking his life.
In considering self defense he charged
that the jury should take into con-
sideration whether Foster had means of
avoiding conflict. If he had other
means of avoiding Prouty he had no
right to shoot him. 1t had been argued
that Foster was on his own premises and
that he was not obliged to retreat, which
the court told the jury was true, and
that it was a matter within the discre-
ton of the respondent alone, but when
force can reasonably be avoided the law
requires that it shall be.
He charged that if the jury failed to
find that the shooting was in self de-
tense and was uniustifable, then it
would be a question of the degree, and
presumption would be in favor of the
lower degree and the jury could not find
for higher degree unless they found
that, beyond reasonable doubt, Foster
did more than would constitute a crime
IN the lower degree. He cautioned them
to take into consideration the appear
ance and demeanor of the witnesses for
both sides, and that in considering
Prouty they were to bear in mind his
characteristics, size and strength as
shown by the evidence
He said that Foster had a right to
carry revolver and that the fact that
he did carry one had no particular hear

Richards took Minnie Boudray from
Woonsocket to Haverhill for immoral

EGGS NEVER so HIGH.
Strictly Fresh Product Now Costing New
York Consumers 80 Cents a Dozen

New York. Nov. 1.-THE Sun says:
Market prices on all fresh eggs were ad-
vaneed three cents dozen Monday,
making the best grade of western fresh
eggs As cents and white leghorn eggs 63
cents. No such prices have ever been
known before inf New York. They are
forcing consumers to pay as high as so
cents a dozen for the choicest grade OF
eggs. Never has the egg market seen
such scramble to grab up incoming
shipments. 1t was almost impossible to
fill the demand. Big profits were made
by some far-sighted local dealers.
