Jacob H. Schiff Makes Startling Declaration Be fore House Money Trust Investigation Committee Relative to Monopoly
TOO MUCH LAW
 BRUSHES BANKS
Says He Believes Depositors in the Banks of the Coun- try Are Already Suffici- ently Protected Under Present Law
LAssnc1Arrn pREss p1srArcnl

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-Thc hber- tv of individuals to concentrate money and power to the limit of their abil- itv was advocated today before the house money trust investigation com mittee by Jacob H. Schiff of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Go. Schiff declared that individuals should be allowed to exert their utmost efforts to concen- trate their fortunes and power until the laws of nature caused the attempted monopoly to fall of it's own weight. Schiff was opposed, however to the concentration through corporations and holding companies. He did not say whether concentration had yet reached point where it was dangerous. Schift | took the view that depOsitors in banks were protected sufficiently under the present law" if administered by and i kept up to the teachings of experience | He thought there was no objection to i one bank selling the securities of an other bank which it owned, because prudence" would prevent the officers of the bank from accepting too much ] doubtful security and no further law 
 i was necessary.
 Too much law he said, can crush the life out of a bank
 Schiff admitted that he had observed ! the concentration of control of money and credit the last few years into the hands of few corporations and these corporations have been centralized in the hands of a few men.
 Has this been a subject of concern
 to you," asked Untermeyer
 Tt has not
 When asked if he had considered the effect Of concentration on his own ere dit. Schiff answered:
 T do not require credit
 Schiffs testimony followed that Geo
 H Reynolds of Chicago, who told the
 committee he believed the concentra-
 reached a point where it was a men
 tion of money and credit now haC : ace to the progress of the country"

NAGEL DENIES MyL|US' CRIME
 WASPOL|T|CA[
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Says Offense In wolves Moral Turpitude and Bars Him From United States
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, D C., Jan. 16.-I Edward F Mylius, journalist, con- victed in London of libeling King George V, was turned back from the gates of the United States today by Secretary of Commegce and Labor Nagel. who held that Mylius' offense was a crime involving moral turpi- tude which barred him from admis sion. Secretary Nagel denied that the offense was purely a political one. T cannot assume" said Nagel ill his decision, that the law which eN- 1 cludes anarchists, and those who ad- vocate the overthrow of a govern ment or the assassination of public officials was intended to admit the | publishe~ of a false charge of big
 amy. simply because he advances d
 political motive for the act or be- 3ause the false charge was directed against a king, or because the courts
 before which the trial was held re- garded the political aspect of the
 case as an aggravation of the of
 fense"
 Proponents of Mylius held that he
 was convicted of seditiOus libel, DO
 itical offense, and that his trial haC
 been farce and that in attacking the
 honor of the king of England he was
 aiming a blow at. the monarchica
 gove nment in the interests of rePub hcanism.
 The story. published in q Pari paper, for the circulation of whicl
 ir England Mylius was convicted
 charged that King George contracte I morganatic marriage in 1890 with
 daughter of Sir Michael Culme- Sey
 mour, now the wife of Captain Ire n velyan Napier.
 In discussing whether the offens e was purely political, Secretary Mage Q said
 Q Primarily the false charge of big n amy is a common crime. In tn f instance that charge is directed n' orIy against the king. but by infel ,t ence against Mrs. Napier. While u
 conviction by a properly constitute
 court in civilized countries is for . l. purposes conclusive. with us the coi ,r sideration in such cases is proper T., add that the alien admits the circ1 10 lation of libel. that at his trial l ;s evidence was offered to substantia ,g the charge and that Mrs. Napier, h iu father, brother and other witness 10 testified to it's falsity without co + tradiction or cross examination. T .s sole argument for the treating of u is Offense as purely political is that t - | writer of the article and Mylius, i = tended it as an attack upon pha of the monarchical institution; tn

BULGARIA. IS
 MAKING READY
Charges That Adrianople is About to Fall and That Commander is Sending Civilians Out as Deserters to Save Food
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHl

LONDON. Jan. 16.-The collective note of the powers has not vet been presented to the Porte. Constanti- nople dispatches say the delay is due to the failure of the German Ambas sador to receive instructions from his government Reports have led to charges by part of the European press that Germany is standing out side the concert of Europe and play ing game of her own. Ambassadors in London deny this. declaring that one of the most promising features of the situation is that the powers are marching together
 The difficulty in exchanging views through the code dispatches is given as the cause for the delay The journey yesterday of King Ferdinand of Bulgaria to Mustapha Pasha for a council of war with General SaNofl and the commanders of the four Bull garian armies, is taken as proof that the Bulgarian threat that she VII resume military operations was made in earnest.
 Dr. Daneff. chief Bulgarian envoy received a dispatch describing the condition of the armies DeSleSlHS +Au rianople and facing Tchatalja. Fugl- tives, all claiming to be deserterS from the Turkish army are escaping in such numbers from Adrianople thai the Bulgarians suspect this is a stra- tegey on the part of the Turklsf commander to rid himself of the bur den of feeding civilians by sendlns them out in the guise of deserters.

A further drive at copper metal prices to 15 IT for electrolytic in Europe and th.s country caused frightened holders Of coppers to ii- quidate again today and the decline was sharp, carrying many of the prominent stocks to lower prices than for several years. and some of them lower than pr.ces reached in 1907 panic. There was entire lack of support in any issue, although We have seen considerable good buying today bV investors and we believe they are making no mistake In picking up the good dividend paying stocks at this level. The present con dition is due more to a lack of con fidence in everything than to the ac-- tual facts. We look for th.s attitude to change soon and better prices will surely prevail.
