Merely Are Looking Into
Trade Charges.

The United States Government has
not instituted criminal proceedings
against the United Fruit Company, but
is, through the Department of Justice,
making an inquiry into the charges tha !.
1t is sitting competition. Also. this in
qufry. made by special agents of the
department who are placing their in
vestigation before the New York grand
jury, is continuation of the proceed
ings instituted several months ago by
Attorney General Wickersham
This is the substance of a statement
issued by the department. following re-
ports that criminal proceedings already
have been instituted.
From New York has come a similar
denial from Andrew w. Preston, presi-
dent of the United Fruit Company, who
says:
THE United Fruit Company" he said,
has opened its books and its records TO
the Government. and welcomes a thor
ough investigation of its methods.
THE present attack was unuuestfon-
ably inspired by competitors who have
faiird owing to reasons over which We
nave no control. Instead of trying to
stffie or suppress competition ii has
been our policy to encourage the plant
ing and the distribution and sale of
banapas and other fruits by indepen-
dent growers and carriers

WATER GOES DOWN
NEAR BLADENSBURG
Let Up of Heavy Rains and
Washout of New Roadway
Is Cause of Relief.

Intermittent let-ups of the heavy rains
of the last few days has brought tenn
porary relief of the fiood-ridden areas
at BladersDurg. Md. The water that
yesterday covered 500 feet of road above
the bridge over the Eastern Branch OF
the Potomac and stopped all traffic, has
partly subsided, and it is expected that
traffic can be resumed tomorrow.
The high water has caused little dam
age. except to the new roadway being
laid by the State. A portion of the
new road washed out yesterday, and
this relieved threatened sections by Civ
ing the rain waters more rapid run-off.
A new .'fill'' is being made on the
Bladensburg road near the bridge, and
this helped to dam the waters above
the bridge. At high tide yesterday the
ROAD was several feet under water.
Residents of Bladensburg, anticipated
a backing up of the rain waters, and
were prepared for it. Farmers living
out on the Bladensburg road were
forced to detour by way of BenniRg and
kenilworth in going home from market
yesterday.

WILMINGTON. Del, April 13.-The
Progressive party will have a ticket in
the field at the city election on June Z.

a strong fight will be made to elect the

There is another party in the field
styled the Lily White Progressives."
a committee from this party has been
comforting with a committee of the

The real Bull Moosers. however, are
holding aloof from both these parties

BUSINESS MEN TO
SEEK NEW MEMBERS
Chamber of Commerce Plans
Active Campaign, With Din
ner as Reward for ViCtors.

A well-organized plan for increasing
the membership in the Chamber of
Commerce by dividing the membership
committee into two parts and having the
two sides compete for the greaGst num-
Der of additions within a sta&ed time,
will be launched next Wednesday at
1890 O'Clock, when the committee will
lunch at the Ebbitt.
The plan was determined on at a
dinner given the committee by Chair
man o. ]. De Moll last night at the
Columbia Country Club. Between now
and next "Wednesday, Chairman De Moll
and Secretary Thomas Grant will have
divided the committee into two parts
and supplied each side with a list of
about 500 names who should, in the
opinion of the chambers officers, be
members of the chamber.
Dinner Wagered on Result.
The first contest is to close May l.
On that date the winning side will bs
announced and the losers will buy the
winners a dinner.
But this will not close the contest.
A new one will be started at once, and
several others will follow before the
campaign for members ends.
Meantime, the entire committee Will
lunch together at one of the hotels
once each week, when the two sides
will hand in their additions and the
vote will be taken.
This plan was determined OF after
q number of suggestions had been
made. Fourteen new members We're re-
ceived last night. They are George A.
Baker, John E. Auth, j. W. Huntex
Edward o. Whitford, W. ]. Kehoe, A.

The following chamber members were
added to the membership committee:
w. G. Dent, Hugh Harvey, Joseph D.
Sullivan. NJ. C. Hazen. DR.. H. NJ. Kauf-
man, and Charles II. Linkins. Other

Der on the committee has been increased

WILSON MAY SUPPORT
PREDECESSORS VETO
White House Denies President
Favors Exemption Clause in
Sundry Civil Bill.

Vigorous denial Is made at the
White House today that President
Wilson has approved the exemption
Of labor unions and farming organi-
cations from prosecution under the
Sherman antitrust law. the feature
Of the sundry civil bill which caused
measure at the last session of Con-
gress.
Statements carried in the morning
papers that the President had given
his assent TO the exemption clause
in his conference with Senator Mar
tin and Congressman Fitzgerald yes
terday. are declared erroneous in so
far as they commit the President on
the srndry civil measure as 1t was
passed at the last Congress and as
vetoed by Mr.. Taft.
What President Wilson has done.
according to reliable authority. is
this: He has instructed Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds to render his opin-
ion as to the constitutionality of the
exemption clause and as to whether
II Is to be regarded as "class legisla-
ton" Of a type which would nullify 1t
when 1t came to the acid test Of the
courts. The President has not bound
himself to accept the opinion Of the
Attorney General as final. but he has
indicated pretty strongly that he will
do so.
The fact that the sundry civil bill
will be reintroduced in the House to-
morrow by Congressman Fitzgerald,
chairman CT the Committee on Appro-
priations in approximately the same
form as II was vetoed by the former
President. does not commit the Presf-
dent to its approval when 1t reaches
him and 1t Is possible that some Of
the leading legal minds in Congress
will try to dissuade both the House
and Senate from including In 1t the
clause which may jeopardize, or at
least delay, the passage Of the bill.

the anti-tuberculosis campaign in
the United States during the year
1912 according TO the fourth annual

The expenditures during the year
for sanatorium and hospital con-
struction and treatment make the
largest single item in the total.
amounting 10 nearly $1,000. 900.
This is a increase of nearly 5000
600 over the same group of expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and COM
mittees spent over $765. 900. while
dispepsaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over 100000. Over $4,000

establishment Of open-air schools
and fresh air classes. which is more
than double the amount spent for
this purpose in 1911. Official. state

which are included in the other to-
tails. amounted to $280.OOO. In ad-
dition to these figures. about $780,
