SAYS SHERMAN Law
NEEDS NO AMENDMENT
Felix H. Levy Tells House Committee
Antitrust Act Is Benefit
to Country.
LOW DISCUSSES TRADES BODY

Before the House Committee on the
judiciary yesterday Felix ii. Levy. OF
New York. made an extended argument
covering the antitrust bills now pending.
Mr.. Levy, who represented the indepen-
dent tobacco manufacturers in the to-
bacco trust suit, opened his statement
with an extended tribute to the Sherman
antitrust law. He told the committee
he had had twenty years experience d.
vided between supporting that measure
as a member of the stan Of the Depart
ment of Justice and attacking IL as a
member of the bar. He said:
II regard the Sherman law as highly
beneficial to the country. i do not believe
that efforts to amend 1t will benefit the
measures or tend to perfect it. 1 fear that
their tendency would be to start a new
litigation similar in character to that
which rendered the law Ineffective and
inefficient during the first ten years of
the twenty-four in which 1t has been
operative. As a basis for this contention
shall urge that the Sherman law in its
present form is a most drastic and ef-
ficient statute, and, therefore, does not
require amendment as to its substantive
provisions
Mr.. Levy reviewed the case of the
United States against the two trade as
sociations of wholesale and manufacture
the law as a whole as follows:
After the substantive provisions of the
Sherman law there exists today no need
whatever of any amendment by way Of
definition or other similar notifications. I"
Former Mayor Seth Low. of New York.
appeared before the Committee on Inter
state Commerce to present his views re-
ga rding the projected interstate trades
measure. Mr.. Low told the
committee that the bill. in its general
terms had his approval. He took issue
with the trainers. however, with regard
to its publicity features. The bill. in Mr..
Lows opinion. while extending the vir-
tual right of search to the proposed
should contain either a spe-
ciic definition of the character of the
matter discovered by such search which
may be made public or should restrict
the publication of the discoveries to such
matter as either the President or the
General may see 1T to make
public.

CONFUSION AS TO RANK
! OF navy IS REMOVED
Daniels Explains Different Systems Of
United States and Germany in
Listing Ships.
JUGGLING" CHARGE REfUTED

While before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs yesterday Secretary Dam
iels showed there was no cause for con-
fusion as to the relative rank of the
United States navy and other navies be-
cause Of statistics published by the Navy
Department.
The charge was made Monday by
small navy" men, Representatives With
erspoon and Hensley. that the statistics
had been ''juggied" by the Navy Depart
menpin order to make the United States
navy appear less powerful than II really
is In comparison with other navies.
While Mr.. Daniels declined to engage In
any controversy with members of the
house. he called attention to certain
facts which II was thought might clear
up any misunderstanding
1t was pointed out that the statistics
published by the Navy Department con-
tain a statement that battleships twenty
CT more years old are not included In the
compilation of naval strength of any
power. including the United States. The
Navy Department. however. counts the
age of "a warship as beginning with the
date of its launching. Confusion has re-
ages Of certain American and German
warships by dating their ages from the
time of commissioning. In the one case.
ana authorization In the other.
The battleships Oregon. Massachusetts,.
and Indiana, under the Navy Depart
ment's method. are ruled out OF the
tables of American naval strength. while
under the same method. certain German
ships. which the small navy" men
thought were older than the three Ame--
lean ships named. remain in the list
In explanation CT the fact that the bat
tIeship South Carolina and Michigan have
been removed from the Dreadnought
class. II was stated yesterday that the
general board did this because these two
ships are not up to the present standard
In the matter Of speed
II was pointed out further that even
II the contentious of Representatives
Hensley and witherspoon were accepted
In regard to battleship strength. they
make no allowance for the fact that Ger
many has four battle cruisers, and Is
building three more, while the United
States has none of this type Of ship.

ACTION ON NOMINEES
BALKED BY CUMMINS
Appointment of Daniels and Hall to
|. c. c. Must Take Regular
Course in Senate.

An effort in the Senate yesterday to
poll the Interstate Commerce Committee
and in that way secure early and favor
able action on the nominations of Win
throp Moore Daniels. of New Jersey. and
Henry Clay Hall, of Colorado. as Inter-
state Commerce Commissioners, was
baked by Senator Cummins, of Iowa,
who notified Senator Newlands and Sena-
tor Shafroth, in charge OF the poll. that
he would insist that the two nomina-
tons take the regular course.
They will have to be referred to a sub
committee, investigated and reported
back to the full committee for con-
sideration before being acted upon.
1t developed yesterday that there is
some dissatisfaction on the Republican
side over the two nominations. The OBJ
jections are based on a feeling that they
have not had sufficient experience with
transportation questions in a national
way to qualify them for the important
work for which the President has ap-
pointed them.
