HURT LITTLE FELLOWS
THE BIG CORPORATIONS WOULD
LEARN SECRETS OF THEIR
SMALLER RIVALS
CORRUPTION IS LIKELY
REPORTS or INSPECTORS MIGHT
BE CHANGED BY PASSAGE
OF MONEY

Washington, Feb. Danouncing
the administration trade commission
bill as opening up the "loveliest graft
of century and as Surprising Rus
sia in inquisition," James +. Bennett
today told the house committee that
such law would drive small corpora
tons out of business. Representing a
number Of corporations, he questioned
it's constitutionality.
This bill. as at present drawn, :"
he said, would give the vital secrets
Of the small corporation to It's big
competitors. It would show the weak
points Of the small concern and open
it up to the attacks Of its rivals. This
thing would thus open up. the lowell
est graft that you gentlemen ever saw.
With thousands Of special agents
roaming around the country prying
into the hundreds of thousands of
corporations, graft would be wide
spread. These agents would have nc
qualification, but political pull; no
civil service examination IS required
and they could be sent into any cor
poration's office to make a report
which would be binding on thar ccr-
poration If you gave him $50 or $500
he might be willing to change the re-
port
This is tremendous inqnis'torial
power Russia never had anything
like this, that gave such power with
out let or hindrance."
Mr.. Bennett argued that tue bill

BANKER INSISTS
HE IS GUILTY
MAN WHO WRECKED MEMPHIS
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION RE-
FUSES TO ACCEPT BAIL

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 1O.-C. Hunt
er Raine, president of the Mercantile
bank here, arrested yesterday on the
charge of .embezzlement, after the dis
covery Of alleged defalcations Of more
than $1,O0O,oOo, today prepared to be-
come accustomed to the routine of
jail life.
Raine has refused all offers Of his
friends to arrange bail for him, saying
he is guilty and ready to take his
punishment. He has also refused to
retain legal counsel.
While first announcements placed
the amount Of 2aine's shortage at
about $50o,OOo. figures given out to-
day show that this amount has been
increased to nearly $l,ooO,OOo. II is
stated BY bank 1qials that the defal-
cation may reach close to $1,5O0,0OO.
Definite figures will not be known un-
til the state bank examiners, working
under ]. L. Hutton, superintendent Of
banks, have completed their work.
Since pleading guilty to the charge
of embezzlemeit yesterday, Raine has
steadfastly declined to discuss the
matter further than to insist that he
alone is responsible for the conditions
which wrecked it.
One Of the touching incidents in
connection with Raine occurred late
yesterday when a reconciItion was ef-
fected between Raine and his brother,
Gilbert D. Raine, publisher Of the
Memphis News-Scimitar. The two had
been estranged for a number of years,
but when the bank president was
placed in a cell yesterday one of the
first to call on him was his brother,
Gilbert. Both wept as they agreed to
forget past difficulties.

total change OF feed and forage. 1t
Is quite obvious" 1t declares, that
there is a direct connection between
the green forage exposed pasturage
and newly-cut hay or fodder which
the horses eat, and this cerebro-spinal

scientists, In fact. eating of such
forage when contaminated is undoubt
edly the most important cause. Over
95 per cent OF cases OF this disease In
