WILL PASS FEW
ANTITRUST LAWS
PRESIDENT WILL TAKE UP TRUST
LEGISLATION THIS WEEK.
TO SEND SPECIAL MESSAGE
Trust Bills VIII Aim at Abolition Of
Intsrlccking Directorates and Vot.
ing Trusts, and Strengthen
Rights Of Minority.

WashinRton.-President Wilson's views
a trust legislation are to be sought
this week, by congressional leaders upon
whom will fall the task of mapping out
the antitrust program for legislative %.
ton. The last week has developed .
pronounced view among Democratic mem.
bers Of the senate that the antitrust
acts of the present session of congress
should be few and effect only the more
obviously needed reforms in the field Of
combination and corporation activity.
While the president has announced his
purpose to send a special trust message
to congress in the near future, the scope
of the communication has not yet been
outlined. Chairman Clayton of the house
judiciary committee will meet the presi.
dent and Chairman Newlands Of the sen.
ate interstate commerce committee will
probably have a conference with him.
The demand of Democratic leaders last
week for speedy action on the pending
currency reform bill have had a marked
effect on the senate. Confident predic-
tons are now made that the bill will
pass that body before December 20; and
that an adjustment of differences be-
tween senate and house can be reached
shortly after that time.
Republican members have made il
clear they do not want to be charged
with delay of currency reform, and will
not use obstructing tactics to effect the
changes they want in the bill.
General legislation which had been
held in restraint throughout the special
session OF congress broke over the bar
riers last week and is flooding every
channel of congressional action.

MORE THAN FIFTY
DIE IN TEXAS FLOODS
Property Losses Will Aggregate More
Than $4,000. ooo-Henry Martin
Is Drowned.

Bryan, TeNas.-A death list Of more
than SO, with scores of flood refugees
spending the night in imminent peril,
and probably 1000 others marooned and
suffering from prolonged hunger, cold
and water soaking was Indicated by
reports from the flooded Brazos river
bottoms, in this section OF South Cen
trial Texas. For over so miles the Bra
Eos was three to five miles wide and run
ming with mill race speed.
The known death list in Texas floods
was 80 before reports from the inundated
territory in this district began coming
in, brought by men on horseback, which
was about the only reliable mode Of
communication. These couriers' reports
indicated at least 20 more lives lost.
About two-thirds of she drowned were
negroes.
The riders reports indicated that the
property losses would run 50 1000, 900 or
S 5000, 900 when the Brazos losses are
added to the already heavy total in other
portions of the state.
Drownings from the following points
have been reported:
Bolton, 5; Brentwood, 1; Dallas, 3;
Grand Prairie, / Highbank, 6 (negroes) /;
Austin, 3; Waco, 8; Hearne, z negroes
others reportedl Bryan, several mo
definite figures San Antonio, /; Bas-
trop, /; Valley Junction, /; Temple, l;
Marlin. l.
The indefinite number of dead report
ed in the vicinity of Bryan and Hearne
is said to total about 90.
The death at Valley Junction, near
here, at . o'clock Friday afternoon OF
Henry Martin, vice-president and gen
eral manager of the International and
Great Northern railroad, was confirmed.
He lost his life when his boat upset
as he was trying to rescue some OF the
merooned flood victims at Valley june
ton. No details are obtainable. 1t was
said, however, that he was handling his
boat alone. Martin hurried to the june
ton, whore the confluence of the Little
and Big Brazos has made a swirling
lake six miles across. to take command
Of his roaC's relief forces.
Six members OF the Galveston life saw
ing crew had a trainload OF motor boats
from Houston, which were to have come
to Bryan, were stopped by high water
at NGvasota. The boats were launched
at that point shortly before dark and
began the difficult task of navigating
upstream over the flooded bottoms to
rescue the marooned negroes and whites
who are reported c~linging to trees, on
house tops or occasionally standing in
shallow water, cut of from shore.
Bryan has had 20 boats out all day,
which have brought several hundred per-
sons, the majority terrified and half-clad
negroes, to the nearest available bit of
high ground. A trainload of provisions
with dry blankets vas sent from here to
Kosarek, a town on the edge of the
bottoms, where 100 of these refugees
had been unloaded by handfuls all day.
Throughout the bottoms, even where the
water did not e~ndanger life, it ruined
most of the provisions in grocery stores,
leaving the food supply very short.
Several prominent Bryan men who
own such plantations have not been
heard from. One OF them, Seth Morning,
last seen on top of his house, !
