Clayton Studying Situation.

Chairman Clayton of the House ju-
dietary committee has been at his office
throughout the vacation season studying
the situation carefully He intends to
leave for a short rest before the end of
the present week and will not return
until about January 10. He will then have
some interviews with President Wilson
before he calls his committee together
for hearings on this subject.
In the meantime Judge Clayton is in
complete harmony with the manner in
which Attorney General McReynolds is
administering tie antitrust law. He
thinks well of the plan approved by the
President; that is, to permit the trusts to
disorsanize out of court, thereby saving
and commercial disturbances
The understanding here is that this
plan will be followed until the existing
law IS amended in such a manner as to
give the administrative side of the gov
ernment more power in dealing with the
trusts than is now accorded the courts
Court procedure, 1t is believed. has re-
suited in more excitement and disturb
ance than is conducive to the best inter-
ests of good business.

happens to Pitcher Brennan because
of his attack on John MCGraW yes
terday. II is felt that President
Lynch can not fail to take some ac-
ton, owing to the wide publicity given
the incident. Also, there is the fine
possibility Of feud on the part of
the Giants and Philies, who are
stirred up over the affair.
McGraw was knocked down by two
blows on the Jaw delivered by Bren-
nan. The incident happened after
yesterdays contest between the two
teams
The New York manager was walk
ing across the field talking with an
other Philadelphia player. Nearly all
the spectators had left the grounds.
Suddenly Brennan sprang toward the
Giants manager and swung his right
hand to McGraw's jaw, landing above
his chin, and followed IT quickly with
a second blow from his left hand,
which landed below the ear.
McGraw dropped before he could
see who had hit him. Later he de-
clared that he must have been kicked
but other players who had quickly
pulled Brennan away declare tina:
only two blows were struck. McGra "
soon recovered.
Brennan declares he was exa sper-
ated beyond the limit of endurance
by taunts directed during the game
by the New York manager at mem
bers OF the local team.
