Mr.. Wilson's Anti Trust Plans.

If it should be the intention of
President Wilson to obtain from Con-
gress certain trust legislation next ses-
sion, it seems that the very first thing
for him to do would be to secure the
cooperation of Congress in the matter.
A partial canvass OF leading Demo-
Gratis in both Houses, undertaken by
Boston paper, shows that those who
are supposed to be hiC,i in the coun-
cils of the present administration ap-
parently have not given antitrust sf
fairs much thought if any.
il has been assumed that the Presi-
dent would urge-even press-upon
Congress certain bills similar to his
seven sisters" which he forced through
the Legislature of New Jersey during
his last year as Governor of that State.
These seven acts are somewhat similar
to the La FolIc:te-Brandeis antitrust
legislation which has been before the
country for some time.
Whether the administration means
to favor an interstate trade commits
sion. with the powers and the scope
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. cannot be ascertained, so far.
That idea has its advocates as well as
its opponents in all parties. The Pro-
gressives favor such a commission;
also several leading Republicans, and
such board may come TO be an ap-
proved way out OF the difficulty; bu:
the consensus of opinion among con-
stitutional lawyers in Congress seems
to be. after all, that the Sherman act
covers any issue that may be raised

South Italy continues to send the great

THE REAL BRoNTE ROMANCE.

Prom the Pail Mall Gazette.
The publication of the long-hidden
Bronte letters unlocks the iOodgates OF
feelings in a region where the emotions
have always been intense. The author
of Jane Eyre appears always TO have
produced that curious effect OF intensity
in others which she and her gifted sisters
derived from their motherless and un-
kindly childhood. She enthralled George
Smith the publisher who discovered her
genius and she repressed even the con-
VITALITY of Thackeray. The same ferce
enthusiasm has certainly effected her
biographeTs, and there has been as much
controversy concerning the simple out
lines OF her life as II they had been ten
times as complex and obscure. One man
alone escaped the infection, and he-the

self in the approaching national cleo
ton.
President Wilson has taken this
position ever since the second Gamboa
note had been received by John Lind,
his personal representative on the
spot. that Huertaa had eliminated him
self from the race; but this latest ex-
preston on the part of the provi=
sional head of the Mexican govern
ment admittedly has brought 10 the
administration here the first authentic
declaration of his intentions. In those
quarters which profess to be familiar
with the true situation and who per-
sist to doubt Huerta's motives the
news has made but little impression,
but by all in administration circles
here who heard about it, it was agreed
that there could be no subterfuge in
Huerta's declaration now, and that the
United States as we'll as foreign gov
crnmcntS would be inclined TO hold the
Huerta government to its announced
program.
All are agreed that Hucrta's prom
ises. if carried out, meant the elimina-
ton not only of himself, but of other
leading government officials, including
Foreign Minister Gamboa-s strong
man and the choice of the heretofore
aIl-powcrful party in Mexico, but
which now faces strong opposition.
The effect of these promises likely is
to be of considerable Importance, be-
cause there is a growing tendency in
Europe to act in conjunction with the
United States and to await our action
before extending to the Mexican gov
ernment recognition as a result of the
coming election.

STYLES OF MEMS Boards.
smOoth-ShnVen Faces Arc Going
Out Of Fashion FaAt.

After some years of clean shaving. says
an exchange. mustaChes are once more
coming into vogue and bristles are ap-
pearing on upper lips that have known
no ,adornment for many seasons. The
particular style in this form OF kirsute
adornment is the eyebrow mustache
which is a decidedly abbreviated and
closely trimmed patch barely extending
beyond the limits OF the nose. 1t is
quite far removed from the old-fashioned
sweeping '1ambreQuin'' or the walrus
mode of Ornamenting the lip. II is sup
posed to be particularly smart and dap
per The most extreme style is that
of the finely pointed mustache shaved
back about half way from the corner of
the mouth. But this requires attention
and care. whereas the close-clipped bit
of brush" calls for no especial atten-
tion except an occasional application of
the scissors
There is one thing to he said in favor
of the mustache, Of whatever proper
tions or style, and that is that almost
anything in the way of facial efflores-
cence is better than side whiskers. About
two years ago an epidemic OF ear tabs
and other modes of cheek decorations
was threatened. but was quickly stamped
out. This was perhaps a narrow escape
from a revival of the old mutton chop
anu lnt DunuredTN style OF race
fringe. Possibly the next change, pro-
vided the smooth face does not return
to full favor. will be to the Van Dyke
or perhaps the chin beard parted in the
middle, made famous by a distinguished
Illinois statesman.
There are so many varieties of whis
ker effects il is really surprising that
the full-shaving style has persisted SC
long. Mems fashions in costume and
hats and baTberdashery change freely
and it would only be logical TO find the
masucline devotees at the shrine OF up
to-dateness following new lines of de-
parture from time to time. But 1t is
to be said regarding whisker fashions
that tits not within the powers of all
to do precisely what fashion may die
tate in this respect. II every man were
to abandon razors and eschew BARRIERS
for two months a most extraordinary va
riety of appearance would be presented.
So that necessity as well as personal
inclination rules in this matter, and
inasmuch as a mustache is perhaps the
easiest form Of all facial decorations to
develop 1t is not surprising that it should
be revived from time to time as a means
Of enlivening conversation and estab-
fishing erss of good feeling and ultimate
ly affording opportunity to change the
currents by sudden sacrifices.

C0HALAN ADMITS
. COMPANY PAID HIM.
On Stand He Says, 81 Made
Greatest Mistake of
My Life.'


ALBANY, N. Y, July 11.-Daniel #.
Cohalan. once a Tammany sachem.
friend and adviser of Charles #. MUIR
ply, the present Tammany leader,
and now a Supreme Court justice in
New York, took the stand today be-
fore the legislative committee ap-
pointed to investigate charges that
he had taken money for using his
political influence to get city con-
tracts for John A. Connolly. of New
York. The charges were brought by
the grievance committee of the New
York Bar Association. of which Co
halan has been member since 1904.
Justice Cohalan acknowledge that
he had received some of the money
which Connolly testified the Victor
Heating Company had paid him.
Later the company brought action to
recover $3,940. He settled the claim
in full, although he denounced the ac-
tion today as "blackmail and rob-
berry, under the circumstances, he
said II now think I made the great
est mistake OF my life. ;"
Justice Cohalan acknowledged hav-
ing called on heads of city bureaus
In the capacity of attorney for the
Victor company and having made
recommendations which resulted in
contracts for city work.
Did you ever render a bill?" he
was asked.
Il never. did," was the response "I
was never asked to do So"
He denied that he had ever made
an arrangement for operating on a
percentage basis for the company, or
had ever made improper use of po-
litical influence or conspiracy to de-
stroy legal evidence. He denounced
every one of the charges formulated
by the bar association as untrue.
With the completion of his testi-
mony the defense rested and the
committee went into executive ses-
sion.
