view to arranging a day to vote on the

ther Hrangle over the question of who
was responsible for delay in getting the
currency bill passed. Senator owen
brought the matter up again and con-
tended anew that Republican senator's

Republican leaders resent the efforts of
Senator Owen to jam the currency bill
through without adequate debate
Senator Nelson dissected the House

HOLDS CONFERENCE
ON TRUST POLICIES
President Tells House Board He
Would Stop InterIocking
of Directorates.

President Wilson held today the first
Of a series of conferences with Demo
cratic members of the House judiciary
Committee, regarding the Administra-
ton antitrust program. Headed by
Chairman Clayton, the committee mem
bers arrived at the White House at 1886
o'clock this morning. For more thar
half an hour preceding this conference.
Swager Sherley of Kentucky. who has
a number of antitrust bills up his
sleeve, was closeted with the Presi-
dent.
The President called the conference as
q preliminary step to the preparation of
his special message to Congress on the
subject. This message he viii. deliver
after the Christmas holidays, BY which
time. he hopes. the currency bill will
have become law.
Fav9rs Standing Par.
Mr.. Wilson told the committee men,
bers today that under no consideration
would he favor a repeal of the Sher-
man antitrust law. He believes that
with proper amendments, this law can
be made to fit present conditions. This
supplementary legislation he would
have accomplished two things, first the
breaking up of interlocking director
ates, by which a single clique of trust
barons have been able to control a
whole network of monopolies and sec
ondIy to make violations of the law per-
sonal infractions, for which the heads
of industries would be personally ac-
countable in criminal proceedings.
The President realizes that in regard
to his antitrust program, he Is con-
fronted with the same lack of harmony
among the Democrats that confronted
him when he first took up currency

SUN CULT LEADER ON TRIAL
Ottoman Zar-Adusht Hansh Charged With Sending Improper Liter
 ature Through Malls.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Otoman Ear Adusht Hanish, little master" of the Mazdaznan temple of sun worshipers, faced the bar of justice in the federal court today to stand trial for alleged violations of the postal and interstate commerce laws. Many months ago the government agents swooped down on Hanishs temple in Lake Park avenue and seized books and papers belonging to the sun cult head. Among the papers, it is said, were found the names of many women and girls of responsibility and social standing who had joined the sun worshipers.
 Women residents in Montreal. Mas sachusetts and in many other parts, as we'll as in Chicago. were numbered among the disciples. Whether any of these women will be called upon to testify at the trial of the little mas ter" has not been announced by the prosecution.
 The indictment returned against Hanish by the federal grand jury charges him with send obscene lit erature, including the Inner Studies, '' to young woman in Brookfield, Mo. The indictment was voted after Rich ard E. Hanish, father of the cult head, had related the life story of his son. The father, an aged musician of Mill waukee, in poor circumstances, re- futed the sun cult leaders romantic . story of his birth. Hanish had given his followers to believe that he was born in Persia and reared in a monas- tery by followers of Zoroaster.
