After outlining her method, Mrs
Pennington found herself the target
of a volley of questions from skepti-

at least ten days.
Delegate Andrew Scully said up in

REYNOLDS Will
INVESTIGATE
TRUST CHARGES
STANDARD OIL. FIRST UP.
Others Are on List and viii
Be PrObed

Washington, D. c., March IT,
Trust Investigations begun during
the Taft administration are being con-
tinued with energy by Attorney
General McReynolds. New inquiries
are expected as soon as the forces of
the department of justice can reach
them.
By direction of the attorney general
the Standard Oil inquiry will be press
ed to conclusion as rapidly as possib e
to determine whether the decree of
dissolution has been violated. Grand
juries probably will be called upon in
some instance to develop the real sit
uation, in sections of the country
where special agents of the depart
ment of justice are unable to ascertain
the facts.
1t has not yet been decided whether
proceedings will take the nature of in
dictments or a petition of contempt of
court if it is concluded that the decree
has been violated. The inquiry, nation
wide in scope, is declared to present
many difficulties requiring much time
to solve.
If it is found that there is an absence
of competition through a community of
interests it would be futile, it is point
ed out, to prosecute only corporations
because corporations cannot be inn
prisoned.
The government under such circum-
stances, it is added. must find the in
dividuals responsible for any possible
mSdeeds OF corporations.
Other important trust Investigations
which are s being continued include
those of the American Can company,
the American Smelling and Refining
company, and the United Fruit COM
pany.
The new administration also faces
the question whether to dismiss or
continue the so-called coffee trust suit
revolving about the Brazilian valoriza-
ton plan. In the diplomatic negotia-
tions for the settlement of the case
Brazil has promised detailed informa-
ton about the sale of the $4,000 bags
of coffee stored in New York under the
plan. Secretary Bryan and Attorney
General McReynolds have not yet TAX
en- up the question.

The movies" IN ATLANTA
WERE FILLED ON SUNDAY
Crowds Attended the Picture
Shows There

Atlanta, Ga, March 17.-Atlanta's
moving picture shows played Sunday
and Sunday night to record audiences
There was no effort upon the part OF
the police to interfere with any of the
shows.
City Attorney James L. Mayson had
previously given it as his opinion tina;
il would be in violation of the state
law and city ordinances for the NOV
les to open.
Then the moving picture managers
got together and decided on an en-
tirely new plan. They were open Sun
day from 2:3O to 1920 p. M, but none
of the shows charged admission. In
stead they only passed the hat" SO
to speak.
A collection box was placed at the
door and the patrons of the theatres
were expected to deposit voluntary
contributions to the extent of what
was the price of the usual ticket.
This plan has worked we'll in some
ether cities and the managers think
lit will go all right here.
