COMMERCE BOARD WILL
REGULATE PHONE TRUST
Action by Commission Is Substituted
For Suit Against Great American
or Bell System.

Washington, Jan 22.-Regulation
by the interstate commerce commits
sion and not suits under the Sherman
antitrust law will be the means used
by the federal government to curb the
telephone and telegraph trust. This
course was announced by Attorney
General Wickersham when he turned
over to the commerce commission all
of the facts gathered in preparation
for proceedings against the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
commonly known as the Bell system
This move terminates the invest1ga-
ton by the department Of Justice OF
the alleged $600.0O0,000 telephone
trust against which Independent tele-
phone companies have made charges
of unfair treatment end Of the en-
ployment of methods destructive OF
competition.
The commissions Investigation will
be far-reaching in effect and out OF it
is expected to grow the outline OF a
governmental policy with respect to
the telephone and telegraph.
1t must be determined, according to
officials. whether, in the interest and
convenience of the public. a tele-
phone or telegraph monopoly under
rigi" regulation should be tolerated
by the federal government; or wheth-
er the government should take over
utilities; or finally whether competi-
ton should be enforced under the
Sherman antitrust law and the mon
opoly prohibited.

REFERENDUM BILL FAVORED
Assembly Judiciary Committee Roo
commends Measure Carrying SEN
ator Lar olIette's Endorsement.

Madison.-The judiciary COMMITTEES
for passage the initiative, referendum
and recall resolution introduced by
Assemblyman G.. d. Rosa This is
the measure which Senator La Fol-
lette is so anxious to have passed.
With these measures adopted by the
people, the senator said during the
campaign, the progressive measures
OF the last ten years could never be
undermined. If passed by the pres
ent legislature it will go to the peo-
pie at the general election in 1914
The joint resolution introduced and
passed in the legislature in 1911 pro-
viding for a salary to members of the
legislators of $500 year and cents
mile going and coming from Madi-
son, was reintroduced on Wednesday
in the assembly by Assem- blyman w.
E. Hurlbut. The resolution if passed
will go to the people at the general
election in 1914
The senate will not take up the
confirmation of l.. A. Anderson as in
surance commissioner before Feb. 5.
motion to this effect by Senator
Kileen was carried by a unanimous
vote
Assemblyman Hull's 'anti-discrim-
nation" bill, introduced at the last
session of the legislature, has been
relntroduced in the lower house. It's
consideration probably will precipi-
tate one of the hardest fights of this
session. The bill prohibits the resell
ing OF any product at one point in the
state at price lower than that asked
at another point, when such change
is made to prevent competition.
Senator Teasdale has introduced a
Dill providing that county training
schools for teachers shall receive
from the state, under proper verifica-
ton, an amount equal to the sum ex-
pended by the county for teachers
wages, but not more than $4,000
where two teachers are employed,
nor more than $500 where three
are employed
The fight over the office of insur-
ance commissioners has caused so
much disgust among members of the
legislature that an effort will be
made to make the office elective. A
bill was introduced to this effect by
Assemblyman Carl Hansen. Strong
support is predicted for the measure.
which is proposed to go into effect
when the present appointment expires
in January, 1915.

w. e. Corey Also Tells OF

New York, Jan 24-Theodore
Roosevelt on Wednesday, a witness in
the federal suit to dissolve the United
States Steel corporation, reiterated
that he had given his sanction to the

Iron company by the corporation dur
ing the panic of 1907, and said that, no
matter what might have been the mo-
tives behind the big combine, he
would have consented to the deal
mot one thing could have been
known about the company which could
have altered my action" he said en-
phatically. II was dealing with a
panic"
Judge Jacob M. Dickinson, counsel
for the government, then took up the
coloners redirect examination. In
sanctioning the Tennessee Coal &c Iron
deal the witness said he had two
things in mind"
"One," he explained, was the relief
it would give to the entire country,
not only New York, but Minnesota,
Louisiana and other states. The other
was the percentage of control of the
steel industry which the United States
Steel corporation would have after the
acquisition OF the Tennessee Coal &
Iron" ~
William Ellis Corey, former presi-
dent of the United States Steel cor
poration, was the next witness, and he
admitted that the huge concern for
wars hoe controlled Driopc in fhe
steel market and that it has main
tanned a gigantic pool here and in Eu-
rope.

STATE DEPUTY DEAD.
Charles c. Hssr, Supreme Court Clerk
Expires Suddenly.

Expires Suddenly.
Des MONIES, Jan. 2.-Charles c. Heer
deputy clerk of the supreme court OF
Iowa, died suddenly at his home. 1921
East Grand avenue. yesterday after
noon at 3:15 o'clock. The immediate
cause Of his death was heart failure
resulting from the weakening erect OF
severe attack Of grip with which ne
had been suffering for over a week.
Mr.. Heer was at his office a short
time yesterday morning and attended
to the mail. After eating New Years
dinner in the afternoon he complained
Of not feeling as we'll as he had in the
morning and went upstairs to lie down.
About 3 o'clock he became worse and
called Mrs. Heer. She became alarmed
at his condition and sent for doctor,
but the husbands death came before
the doctor arrived.
For two years Mr.. Heer had been
chief deputy in the office Of B. w. Gar
rett, clerk of the supreme court. Mr.
Garrett says THAI he had been unus-
ually faithful and efficient in his work
for the state, attending to the minutest
details with the most careful attention
Prior to his appointment to the deputy
ship he was for nine years an expert
accountant at the state house. Mr.
Heer came to Des Moines from Arrnl
strong, where he owned and edited
newspaper for several years.
The unexpected death was a severe
stock to Mrs. Heer. and to the son,
Clifford Heer, who is student at Grin
nell College.
