After the Man Higher Up.

President Wilson is said TO be after
the Immensely wealthy man who really
runs these combinations of combinations
lie has said in his speeches that he can
name the men, if he desires. who con-
centrated in their own hands transactions
cf gigantic proportions. The directorates
are mere puppets for these comparatively
few men, Its the man higher up the
President has set out for in his coming
trust legislative program. The President
has asserted III speeches that competi-
tion cannot be established by law, but
that the obstacles that stand in the way
Of competition can be removed so that
competition will begin.
The President asserts now as he did
months back. that all the eggs of the
country shall not be placed i'm one
basket and the basket intrusted to the
same group of persons.
The administration trust program,
therefore. will proceed upon the as
sumption that there is ample law in the
Sherman act TO break up ccmbinatio
but there is too little law for the punish
ment of big men who sit back i'm the inner
recesses of their offices in New York
Chicago and elsewhere and pull the wires
that manipulate half dozen or so OF
the great combinations of the country
men who have got the business OF the
country all in one basket, as the Presi-
dent has expressed II.

Following the arrival in Washington

opposition is being formulated here to
the ratification by the Senate of the
pending treaty between the United
States and Nicaragua which would give
the United States the exclusive right

Not only are some Nicaraguans ac-
lively opposing this treaty, but joining
with them are members of the HDerai
parties of Honduras. Salvador and
Costa Rica, as well as of Guatemala.
The majority of these leaders are ad-
vocates of the plan of uniting the hve
Central American republics into one
compact nation. and they take the
position that IL the Nicaraguan treaty
is ratified the Central American union
idea will be killed.

SUES FOR ASSISTING IN
 A CHARITY OPERATION.

Both parties in Gilday vs. Hennen, 139 New York Supplement, 934, are physicians and members of hospital staff in the city of New York. The matter in judgment is this: While defendant was performing an opera ton upon a patient he desired the plaintiffs aid, and sent a telephone message requesting the plaintiff to come to the hospital to help him out. Plaintiff immediately came to the hos pita1 and went into the private operat- ing room. A woman was on the op-
 erating table. Her abdomen was open, and she was suffering from a hemorr- haze The defendant said to him;
 Doctor, I wish you would finish this
 operation for me. This woman ls bleeding I can't control it" Plaint1H
 then finished the operation The de-
 fendant was performing the operation
 for fae of S1O Plaintiff thereafter
 brought this action to recover the req sonable value of his services. The
 Supreme Court Appellate Term, or
 New York. holds that ordinarily where
 a person requests another to perform
 services for him he impliedly agrees
 to nav the reasonable value of the ser
 vices rendered at his request, ano' un- less the circumstances in Whlch the
 reouest is made justify him in the be- lief that the person requested to per forno tba services would not expect any cornpensation, the person request ing the services must reasonably nave supposed that his request implied nronise to pay for the services. Since such circumstances exist where the re- Iation of the parties is such that the services might well be requested as matter of personal or professional | courtesy or duty, as In tnls case | olaintiff's claim must fall In closing | if is said: "Since the defendant re- ouested the plaintiffs aid, not for the purpose of earning a fee for himself, but only for the purpose of alleviat- ing suffering or removing an imminent danger, he had right to expect that
 these services would be rendered freely and willingly.

Frederick c. Smith, who for a mum Der of years was connected with res taurants in Bridgeport, either as pro- prietor or waiter, was found hanging in a small barn in the rear of his home in Chestnut street. Ansonia. Wednesday. It is believed that his mind had become deranged by busi- ness troubles and that conditions caused him to commit suicicde.
 For some months Smith had been conducting a lunch room in Howe ave- nue, Ansonia- The unfortunate man came home in a state of great excite ment Wednesday morning. Arousing his wife he told her that they were ruined and she might prepare to be turned out of the house and home. Mrs. Smith quieted her husband and induced him to go to bed. She also induced him to stay away from busi- ness that day thinking a rest would restore him to a normal mental condi- ton.
 Sometime during the day however, Smith went to the barn and procuring a rope, noosed it about his neck and made the other end fast above a run way leading to the hayloft. Then he stepped off the ladder Heading up the runway. He died of srangulation. Before death came he evidently re- pented of his act and made an effort to save himself, for with one hand he Erasped a rung of the ladder and c1ung to 1t but, his strength was not sufficient to draw his weight from the moose about his neck.
 Smith was not more than 50 years old and Is survived by his wife and one daughter. He was engaged in , business in Bridgeport for several years at one time conducting a res taurant in John street. After dispos- ing of his interest in that restaurant he went to Derby where he conducted a pie bakery for a time. Later he returned to Bridgeport to work as a waiter.
 The business in which he was last engaged in Howe avenue, Ansonia- he bought about a year ago. It is said that he had no cause to worry about his business affairs. Lately he had been breeding over his physical condi- tion He imagined without reason, that he had become afflicted with cancer and despite assurances to the contrary from his physician, he be- neved that it would be only a matter of time before he would become so seriously i'll that he would have to give up business
 Medical Examiner Gould A. Shell ton who viewed the body and gave permission for burial said that Smith was undoubtedly of unsound mind, when he took his own life.

SUGAR TAKES RISE
 IN ALL REFINED GRADES

The price of all grades of refined sugar was advanced yesterday 10 cents a hundred, making the present quotation $4.6O a hundred. It has been steadily advancing 10 cents on the hundred for the past few weeks but local retailers see no cause for a corresponding rise in price of the re- tail product unless it should be quoted at $4.75 a hundred.
 Early in the spring it was quoted at $4.20 a hundred from which 1t has taken intermittent jumps until the present price. At that, it is considered as low as 1t ever was by retailers. The increase in the price of the raw product is given as the reason for the raise.

 Washington, July 11.-Panama wants the first fnstalment of the $25o,- 0OO annual rental the United States promised to pay for the Isthmian Canal Zone, and financial agents for the little republic in their urgent ap- plications for the money virtually have suggested that the American Govern ment has defaulted in it's obligations. Secretary Bryan has held up the pay ment, which was due Feb. 26 last, and for which Congress provided in. the Urgency Deficiency bill.
 No explanation. has been forthcom- ing from the State Department, but it is understood that the Secretary is inclined to make no payment pending the outcome of negotiations with Co., Iombta regarding that country's claim for indemnity for the separation of Panama. In the tri-partite treaties negotiated by Secretary Root for the purpose of reconciling Colombia for the loss of Panama it was proposed to turn over the Canal Zone rental to Colombia for a period.
