WORKING TO PERFECT
 CLAYTON ANTITRUST BILL
Senate Judiciary Committee Hopes to Have Measure Ready Early Next Week.

Washington, July 16-Another stren- uous effort was made today by the senate judiciary committee to perfect the Clayton antitrust bill and some progress was reported when the ses- sion ended. It is now hoped to have the measure ready early next week The tentative draft made by the sub- committee was carefully read by the full committee and several changes were proposed, upon which discussion Will continue tomorrow.
 While the committee was at work on the Clayton bill the interstate trade commission bill was again under dis cussion in the senate. Senator Cum mins of North Dakota insisted that the term unfair competition was inn p1oper and that the proper phrase to use was the stif1ing of competition by unfair methods" Senator Williams agreed with him.
 Senator Brandegee bitterly attacked the proposed legislation as half faked,' and said the court was afraid t. attempt to find out anything about 1t. Business men who go to the White House and give out prosperity Interviews in exchange for free lunch dc not understand what a dose is to be administered to them in this trade commission declared the Connecticut senator
 If the country knew what is coming there would be a panic. This commis- sion provides for a lot of government snoopers, spotters and spies charged with power to make nothing but list of don'ts. It is not fair for congress to set up such a commission, which passes on business as fair or unfair, put does not guarantee the business man against assaults from the depart nlent of justice when he proceeds with the sanction of the trade commission ''

BRIDGEPORT POLICE ARE
 PROBING MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
David FinLeIstein Found Dead from i
 Gas AsPhyxiation.

WAR SUMMARY
THE GERMANS STILL VIGOROUS
LY BOMBARDING ANTWERP.

New York, Oct. 10.-Special: That
the Germans r still vigorously bonn
harding Antwerp with their heavy
siege guns from three positions and
that great damage already has been
done by shells in the beautiful city is
the outstanding feature of the war
news.
On the battle line in northern
France, where the ~contending forces
are buried deep in entertainments, the
French official report says the situa-
ton is stationary, except that there
have been several violent encounters
between the allies and the Germans,
notably in the vicinity of Roye. in the
department of Somme. No claims of
success or acknowledgements of de-
feats are made in the report.
So violent has been the conclusion
caused by the detonations of the big
German guns in the b~ombardment of
Antwerp that houses twenty miles
away were shaken. King Albert, at
the head of a portion of the Belgian
army, is reported to have marched
out of the besieged city, from which
the populace by thousands previously
had fed in panic.
Among the few neutrals remaining
in the city, where not alone shells
from the guns of the Germans, but
bombs from their air craft are fall
ing, is H. w. Diederich, the Ameri-
can consul, and the members of his
staff.
In the east the Russians claim TO
have repulsed with heavy losses the
German attacks near Wirballen and
Philipoff, Russian Poland. They de
clare also that some of the principal
forts of Przemysl, in Galicia, have
been taken by the forces of Emperor
Nicholas and that the Germans have
been driven out of Wloclawek, in Po-
land, across the border from the
fortress of Thorn, East Prussia.
From the south came a report
from Cettinje that the Servians had
defeated the Austrians and occupied
Bilek, Herzegovina.
Russia is said to have refused to
withdraw her troops from northwest
Persia, but at the same time advised
Persia that she had no intention of
taking Persian territory.

schools thronged the streets early
this afternoon in gaily bedecked au-
tomobiles to give prominence to the
football game at Athletic park be-
tween the Madison and Brookings
high school teams. The game is in
progress at the park as we go to
print.
F. r. VanSlyke, former clerk of
the courts of Lake county, but for
the past several years connected with
the office of school and public lands
at Pierre, was an arrival this morn
ing. Mr.. VanSlyke has resigned his
position in Pierre and will soon re-
move to Salem, Ore, to reside. His
business here is to gather sentiment
in regard to the political situation In
Lake county in the interest of the
republican ticket.
An alarm of fire at IL O'Clock this
morning called the department to the
Carnegie library building in East
Fifth street, from which smoke was
issuing from the roof. Upon exam
ination it was found that the fire re-
suited from defective electric wiring.
1t was necessary to tear a hole in the
roof to reach the wire when it was
found that the timbers had been
charred, but not sufficiently to cause
a blaze. The damage to the roof will
probably reach $50.
