FRENCH PRESIDENTS
WIFE in SOCIAL WAR
Will Attempt to Take Leader
ship from Bourbons.

PARIS. Feb. 81. Despite the
sneering opposition of Bourbons and
Bonapartists, who rake up her past
as former wife of cab driver, Nine.
Poincare, wife of the President of
France, is laying careful plans to
assume a social leadership to which
no other French presidents wife has
ever aspired.
So sweeping have the orders been
given for repairing and recons truct-
ing the interior of the Elysee Palace
that the President and his wife have
decided to keep to their own resi-
dence for. a considerable time and
give the architects opportunity to
make properly luxurious setting
for the social campaign that the
magnetic and beautiful first lady of
France means to wage to wrest So
cial leadership from the Bourbons and
the families OF the first empire.
The tremendous popularity of Nine.
Poincare's husband will be a decided
help to her in her plans. He has re-
ceived many more thousands of let
ters of felicitation than any of his
predecessors. and a large secretarial
staff is working overtime to keep up
with the correspondence.

Though One Member Held
Out for Six Cents.

Edward ". Ketcham's fervid iovas
letters to Mrs. Lillian Crane will cost
him 81, 800.
The jury that heard the evidences

TO MOVE AGAINST
TRUSTS IN SENATE.
Interstate Commerce Commit
tee Soon to Recommend Anti
Monopoly Legislation.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Anti-trust
legislation of radical character is
to be recommended by the Senate
committee on interstate commerce in
a report early next week. Amend
ments TO the present laws win be
urged, to take away from the su-
preme Court the discretionary
power" it now exercises in admins
tering the Sherman law, and to de-
fine clearly certain forms of illegal
combination, so business interests
will know when they are violating
the law.
The report will be the termination
of the trust investigation begun by
the committee in 1911. The decision
of the Supreme Court that only "rea-
sonable" restraints upon trade are in
violation of the law forms the basis
for radical suggestions by the COM
mittee, to protect the antitrust law
against what, il is claimed, amounts
to Legislative action by the Su-
preme Court.
To enable business interests to un-
derstand clearly what forms of COM
binations, agreements. contracts or
pools are Illegal. legislation will be
urged to define them in exact terms.
Members Of the committee believe
this necessary to protect business in
terests that desire to act without vio-
lating the law, but have no legal
standard TO inform them whether
contemplated actions are within the
law.
The committee report will not be
completed and given out until next
week. 1t is understood that it rec
ommends the creation of a commits
sion to exercise general control over
corporations doing business across
State lines, and that it. urges amend
ments TO the Sherman law which viii
compel corporations to remain more
independent in character than at
present that will enforce competitive
conditions.

AGREEMENT ENDS
RELIGIOUS WAR
Master Will Determine Rights
of Greeks Expelled from Pas
sale Church Society.

Matters came to a sudden halt to-
day in the suit of about fifty ex-
PEELED members of a Passaic relig-
ious society against that society
when A. D. Sullivan, counsel for me
compliments. proposed that the
whole thing be settled in a fifteen
minute conference. The case has been
on for three days.
On agreement of both sides the
case was referred to a master. He
will appoint an actuary TO go over
the financial affairs of the assoeia-
ton and determine what the ex-
PEELED members had paid in and what
they had taken out in monetary ben
efits up to the date of their expulsion.
The difference. minus a deduction for
insurance privileges, will be refunded

chancellor.
The suggestion that an agreement
end the litigation was made by Mr..
Sullivan when mention Of other Wit
nesses was made, and it was seen
that the case would probably occupy
several days more.
Mr. Sullivan's proposition was an
offer to agree on an equitable d.
vision of the society's funds, the diVl-
sion to be determined as the court di-
rected. Joseph H. Lefferts, counsel
for the defense. opposed II, but ms
associate, Joseph e. Stricken, showed
his Willingness, so he and the hfty
ex-members went out for preiiml-
nary conference.
They agreed on an arrangement
whereby each expelled member was
to receive a per capita share OF the
society's fund as it stood on the day
the bill was filed. Mr.. Sullivan
couldn't agree to this. he said, so Mr..
Strokes and his men went BACK Tor
their second conference.
The suggestion for a settlement
was made after Vice-Chancellor Ste
vens had given out hint OF MS
opinion.

the lawyers. "One is that the re-
ceiver Won ask for the society will
not he appointed, and the other is the
complainants will not get the entire
amount they paid in because they
have had the beneft of the insur-
ance."
The case today was confined to an
Interpretation of the bylaws. me
hftv-two men claim they were ousted
from a benevolent society connected
with the Church of St. Michael the

cover the money they had paid in as

FEEEHOLDERS EXONERATE
HIM FOR WOMAN'S INJURY
Mr.. Schickhaus Says Hand
some Physicians Marriage to
One Nurse Piqued Others.

Over the strong objections of Free
holder Richard F. Malta, the hos
pital COMMITTEES of the Board of
Freeholders yesterday accepted the
report of Supervisor Edward Schiek-
haus holding DR.. Henry c. Smith
blameless in connection with an &C
cident recently In which Lizzie Cold
smith, patient. sustained a broken
arm.
Mr.. Schlckhsus in his report init
mated that jealousy between nurses
was largely responsible for DR.. Smith
being blamed for the accident in the
first place. DR.. Smith, who is very
handsome chap, recently married one
of the nurses at the institution, there
by it is said, causing woe to lot
of other nurses who had their caps
set for the good-loolling young physi-
clan.
"a Handsome Young Man."
In making his report in which he
said no evidence had been produced
to show that DIR. Smith had been
unduly rough in handling the patient
at the time of the accident Mr..
Schickhaus said, ''Dr. Smith is
handsome young man, and ! under
stand he paid attention to several OF
the young women nurses, finally
choosing one of them for a life part
ner. II is not hard to imagine there
was disappointment felt by some OF
the others"
1t was stated in the testimony of
nurses and DR.. Smith that the patient
Lizzie Goldsmith was rushing vio-
1optIx, IN and down the corridor
knocking other patients down. DR..
Smith was called to quiet her, and
as he took hold of her arms she threw
herself into chair, hitting her right
arm against the arm of the chair
hard enough to snap the bone.
Says He Was Trihe Rough.
One nurse stated she believed DR..
Smith had been a trife more rough
than the occasion demanded, but the
general testimony was that DR. Smith
had used proper care in handling the
patient and that the fracture was
the patients own fault. :
Mr. Matthias objection to the ac
ceptance of the report was based on
the fact that Supervisor Sehickhaus
had held his investigat ton before the
arrival of the hospital committee.
Mr. Schickhaus pointed out that
he had a perfect right TO do SO, but
stated that if the committee was not
satisfied he would hold another hear

tee who had made private investiga-
tions we're satisfied with the report of
the supervisor, and it was accepted.
