THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

The editor of an Illinois paper
received the following note from
a subscriber: " = 4'l !
-,-l A lady wants to- say "a few
words to the grocery merchants,
and really it is delicate subject
to handle. You know it is now
time that our grocery men set
their vegetables outside on the
pavement, and you know there
are SO many tall dogs in town
and it operates as though they
drank from the Saratoga Medical
Springs. Now, Mr.. Editor, you
must know what | want to say
and if you will help me out you
will do the public a great favor.
What we want is the vegetables
on boxes, or in other words
above high water mark. For
the good of the women and man
kind, the grocer will please
attend to it. Those wire screens,
they use over barrels and baskets
are not water tight. This is a
delicate matter, but you know
when a lady goes shopping for
cabbage and beets she doesn't
like to get peas also. Pleaseput
it in shape so as to offend
nobody"

TRUST LEGISLATION
IN ONE MEASURE
That's New Plan Favored by
President Wilson

Washington, March 17.--It is prob
able that the four measures which con
stitute the administration program fo-
legislation supplementary to the Shar-
man law will be welded into a single
bill before they are reported to the
house.
1t was learned that the president
and members of the judiciary commit
tee of the house favor this action and
that the attorney general regards it
as the logical thing to do.
Mr.. Wilson had a conference at the
White House with Congressman CLAW.
ton and a subcommittee of the
judiciary committee on the four anti
trust bills. For the first time the
committee was able to present to the
president the bill prohibiting holding
companies.
The conference was devoted to a
discussion of the provisions and
phraseology of the fourth measure and
of changes which had been made in
the three others following out previous
suggestions OF the president.
The senate will not accept the form
of the bill creating an interstate trade
commission that was reported in the
house in behalf of the administration.
Republicans and Democrats Joined in
condemning it.
Commissioner of Corporations
Davies will probably be named as
chairman of the interstate trade com

One of Frances Most Conspicuous
Men and Has Presidential Desires.
Paris, March 17.-Mme. Caillaux.
wife Of NJ. Joseph CaillauX, minister
Of finance and at one time premier.
fired five shots at Castor Calmette,
editor OF the Figaro, in the Office Of
that paper.
Four of the bullets took effect and
NJ. Calmette was removed to a private
hospital where he died. Two of the
bullets penetrated the lungs OF NJ. Cal,
mette.
The shooting was the result of q
letter written by NJ. CaillauX to his
mistress which NJ. Calmette published
in the course Of his campaign against
NJ. Caillaux.
The official account OF the shooting
says Nine. Caillaux explained that she
had been deeply hurt by NJ. Calmette's
publication of facsimile letter from
her husband to a woman.
She was afraid that more of these
letters were in existence and sought
some means to prevent their publica,
ton. She consulted an authority in
regard to what steps she should take.
This authority told her that nothing
could be done. He told her that all
prominent men were liable to such at
tacks. especially before elections.
After the shooting Nine. CaillauX
made no attempt to escape. She
handed the revolver to one of the
Figaro's attendants, who summoned
the police. The latter saluted most
the wife of a minister.
Nine. Caillaux, whom the finance
minister married in October, 1911, be-
came his second wife. She is one Of
the best dressed and most popular wo-
men in Paris and frequently has been
of help to her husband.
NJ Caillaux for at least fourteen
years has been one Of the conspicuous
men of France. His personality and
his career has been of keen interest
to French people and it has been gen
orally believed that he has ambitions
to become president of France He
is in his fifty-second year, one of the
ablest fnanciers of France, is extreme
ly wealthy, is radical and for years
has been working for social reform.
Early in January NJ Calmette ac-
cused NJ. Caillaux of attempting to ex-
tort money from various persons for
electoral purposes, and the incident
gave rise to a heated debate in the
chamber of deputies. The charges
were categorically denied by NJ. Gail
laux, but the editor of the Figaro
persisted in his assertion.

skepticaI About Villas Advance.

Washington, March 17.-Circum-
stantial accounts of preliminary fight
ing in the vicinity Of Torreon have
not received any official confirmation
in dispatches to Washington tha+ a
decisive engagement is to be looked
for in that quarter Immediately.
Dispatches to the state department
from representatives in northern Mex
leo and on the border contain nothing
in support of the published reports
that minor engagements are already
taking place between federals and
rebels near TorreOn. nor, do they in
dictate there is any immediate pros
pect of an important contest for the
city now held by the federals.
Not until a battle has actually b.
gun will officials here be inclined to
believe that Villa has decided to risk
his present comfortable position and
holdings in Chihuahua on a battle II
TorreOn.
In the three months since he took
Ojinaga Villa has done nothing while
ened their position at TorreOn.
To get to Torreon, it is pointed out,
Villa must cross a large desert bar
rem of supplies on which his army can
subsist. Furthermore military men
here point out Villa could not hold
Torreon if he took it as was de.
termined last summer when he lost
it to the federals.
Secretary Bryan instructed Major
General Murray at San Francisco to
have an officer sent from Fort Ros-
Grams, San Diego. to make an investi-
cation of the killing of the San Diego
postmaster and the burning of the
customs house by Mexican bandits.
The crime was committed on United
States soil so it will be in order to
demand the requisition of the guilty
parties, if as alleged it is found they
were residents of Mexico.
A new plan for solving the Mexi-
can problem was made known here
with the receipt of letters from
Emeterio De La Cara, a prominent
Mexican, now in New York. Senior De
La Cara proposes that a peace con
gress, composed of prominent men
representing all factions in Mexico, be

BOTH CAPTAINS
ARE ACCUSED
Monroe Wreck Probe Results
in Divided Ruling
OPINIONS ON DISASTER DIFFER

CAPTAIN johnson Of Monroe Was Re
aPonsible For Collision Which Re
suited in Deaths Of Forty,One, Says
One Invest 5ator-O,hcr Probor De-
cIares Captain Berry OF Etatuckat
Was Solely TO Blame.
Philadelphia, March 17.-Following
the summing NJ by the attorneys i'll
the trial Of Captain Osmar Berry Of
the steamship Nantucket in connection
with the Monroe disaster, Captain r.
A. Sargent, chairman of the local beard
OF steamship inspectors, read report
in which he declared Captain Berry
should be eXonerated and that charges
of negligence. incompetepcy should be
made against Captain johnson of the
Monroe.
d. H. Howard. the other member Of
the board. thought Captain Berry was
responsible for the collision.
The report Of the investigation,
along with the two decisions. was for
warded to Henry NJ. Seeley, super
vising inspector in New York. 1t is
not known here what the next step in
the case will be. but it is believed the
supervising inspector will consult the
department of commerce in Washing
ton before making any further move.
The local inspectors who investi-
gated the collision are Captain r. A.
Sargent, inspector of hulls, and D. H.
Howard, inspector Of boilers
The charges against Captain Berry
included negligence in not reducing
the speed of his vessel in fog and
with neglecting to ascertain through
the wireless operator the proximity of
other vessels. No charges were
brought against Captain Edward F..
Johnson of the Monroe.
The opinion filed by Inspector Sar.
gent says Captain Berry and all other
licensed officers of the Nantucket are
exonerated from all blame.
Captain Sargent's report then
charges CAPTAIN Johnson with ''incOm-
potency, negligence and inattention to
duty" Captain Johnson is charged
with the violation of the international
rules for preventing collisions in
giving a wrong whistle signal in the
fog; with negligence and inattention to
duty because he took no action to pre-
vent the collision or to lessen its force
when the vessels came in sight of each
other, and with incompetency and I'M
skilfulness because proper discipline
or organization was not maintained
among the crew in an effort to protect
the lives of all persons on board and
because no proper effort was prompt
ly made to obtain assistance from the
Nantucket
On the last specification Captain
Sargent said:
while we believe that Captain
Johnson, as an individual, did every
save the lives of all, it is to be re-
GREETED that he did not delegate GER
tain duties which he attended to him
self to some of the other members of
his crew and thus give himself more
time to devote to matters of greater
Importance"
Inspector Howard refused to sign
this report and rendered one of his
own in which he found Captain Berry
guilty of failing to reduce speed in a
fog as charged, but not guilty of al
legged failure to use the wireless an
paratus. and recommended that his
masters license he revoked

The elder child Sadie was on the

sister. Then the car struck both,
knocking them to the ground. The
motorman had slackened speed, but
the front trucks passed over the little
girls and they were dragged a short
distance when their clothes caught in

from under the middle of the car

Through examination of witnesses

trade unions, other labor organiza-
tons, unorganized employees and the
general public, the commission hopes
to obtain information concerning the
industrial situation that will lead 10
constructive recommendations
Some of the subjects to be inquired
into in each city are irregularity of
employment, possibilities of ending ir-
regularity and increasing production
through scientific management, the ac-
tivitieS of trades unions and employers
associations and the extent and opera
ton of governmental machinery for
regulating the conditions of industry,
including the relations between EN-
ployers and employees.
Successful methods of maintaining
harmonious relations beneficial to both
employers and employees will be in
quired into particularly. with a view to
their adoption in other centers where
no such methods have been tried.
Eminent authorities in subjects to be
included within the scope of the in
quiry have joined the staff of the COM
mission and are now aiding in plan
ming the hearings.
Witnesses desired by the commission
will be summoned under the authority
granted it by congress and volunteer
testimony will be welcomed. Announc-
ing the plan for hearings, Chairman
Walsh said:
"The commission will carefully avoid
acting as board of mediation and con-
Citation and will not allow itself to be
drawn into local controversies or rec
ognize such controversies unless in do
ing so it can obtain information that
has more than local and temporary
significance.
Every interest will be given a hear
ing. The commission will strive to put
aside all bias and prejudice. 1t will
urge others to do the same in the hope
that the industrial problem may be
studied in the light of reason. The
open mind will be our watchwOrd. and
we shall endeavor to provide forum
where men representing all factions can
meet in the common purpose OF tindin"
a way out from bitterness and strife.
To accomplish this we shall need the
cooperation and help Of all concerned
We shall ask those who meet with us
at the hearings to come not as employ
ers or employees. hut rs men belonging
to the same human family.
THE hearings are to he undertaken
as one means Of carrying out the in
structionS of congress to inquire into
the Industrial situation and to report

THE commission wishes in particu-
lar to invite the help of every person
who has constructive suggestion.
Such suggestions viii be especially
welcome when they are supplemented
