WILSON ACTS TO
SAVE NEW HAVEN

| It has already withdrawn from the
| Boston and Albany agreement which
Il has with the New York Central
Railroad. IL agrees 10 sell its stock
| in all Of it's steamship lines except the
Sound lines, and that question. under
| the Panama act, is TO be referred TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for settlement.
Therefore the only vital question IN
dispute is the time within which the Sc
curities shall be sold. and this Is of grea.
Importance 10 the railroad stockholders
as well as the New England public. IN
my judgment no short time limits should
be fixed, and the limit. when fixed. should
be extended il the railroad conNinces the
courts that further time is necessary CT
desirable To put final limit on the
time. as the Department OF Justice wishes
TO do, is going 10 prevent Il sale Of these
properties until they are even on a more
extreme bargain counter than the one
which now exists.
Investors will not buy Boston Maine
and New Haven stocks to-day, and those
roads should be rehabilitated making the
stocks on attractive investment for the
New England public where they should
be held. instead Of selling them TO be used
as pawns on the speculative checker
board Of outside interests. incidentally.
it IS worth while remarkng that the only
railroads which could buy this Boston x
Maine block Of stock would be the Grand
Trunk or the Canadian Pacific road, ana
doubt If any New Highlander. directly
or indirectly. interested wishes one Of its
main corporations controlled by foreign
capital.
This question is not alone of vital i'm
portance 10 New England. but to the
whole country, and indirectly to our in
ternational affairs. If these two cid
roads go into the hands Of receivers that
course will probably be followed by
others, the foreign investing public will
become frightened and we will be likely
to get back a deluge of our securities
which would paralyze financial and in
dustrial operations in this country. The
parties at interest in this matter should
act. and oct at once. and It was TO adj
wise as far as possible that this be done

Holding Company Provisions.

The committee believes that in this bill
il has solved the problem Of discrminat-
ing between the holding company active
Is in business and operating business by
combining several competitors into one
company as in the case OF the Standard
oil Company and the American Tobacco
Company, and the corporations that have
been compelled to combine several con
Germs that are not competitors. but whose
combination is necessary in order 10
make a unit or whole. as In the case OF
an oil company which combined a pipe
line company, a producing oil company
and a refining oil company, all making
one legitimate oil business.
The committeeman pointed out to the
President that the bill would save TO in
dustrial business the investor who buys
the stocks and bonds OF various corpora
lions but is not engaged in the business
Of operating any OF them. The bill applies
TO railroad holding corporations but not
To subsidiaries. drawing the line at sub
stantial competitors. II includes cotton
mills II made up Of combined competitors.
II would prohibit holding corporations or
moving picture concerns which sought
exemption and would strike at various
large holding establishments which made
pleas before the committee.
The so-cslled theatre trust also would
be affected. Theatre corporations which
hold two theatres in any one city. unless
1t could be proved that they were abso-
lutely non-competing. would be prohib-
tied. but the bill would not destroy
chain Of theatres in different cities in
which there was no element Of compeu-
ton.
None OF the four bills as now framed
provides FOR exemption OF labor unions
from antitrust prosecutions. Senator
Hughes OF New Jersey. is expected 10
present an amendment for that purpose
II the bills as they finally reach the SEN
rte have no exemption. Labor organiza-
tons, particularly the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. have urged the Bacon
Bartel hill. which would exempt from
any prosecution under the Sherman law

Price Restrictions.
The trade relations bill prohibits manu-
facturers from contracting to prevent
merchant from handling r. competitors
goods. It prohibits final price fixing to
the consumer, though il permits the
manufacturer or wholesslSr to fix the
price at which goods shall be sold in the
first instance as from manufacturer TO
jobber.
Under this restriction the first sale Of
a manufactured article by its producer
would BIZ at the same price everywhere,
plus the cost Of transportation. This bill
gives the right Of injunction to individuals
for threatened loss or damage and the
right to make use OF a government decree
against any corporation.

Wilson Approves Bills.

President Wilson. at a conference to-
night with the House judiciary SUP
committee on trusts. put the stamp OF
administration approval on the SUBJ
stance Of the four bills TO amend the
antitrust laws which the committee
submitted i'm a practically final form
There will be another conference WITHIN
A week, and members OF the committee
asserted tonight that unless protracted
discussion should be raised in the run
committee all four bills to strengthen
The sherman law. covering interlocklng
dirertordtes. holding companies. trade
relations and definitions of restraints Of
trade. would be reported TO the House
within fortniei %.
President Wilson indicated his belief
that il would he better to consolidate all
the bills into one in order 10 expedite
legislation. The Senate committee has
already decided on consolidation. end
that IL will he effected by the House
committee is practically certain.
The President made several suggestions
TO the subcommittee which included
Representatives Clayton. Carlin and
FLOYD. lie insisted that personal gullt
of individuals in control OF corporations
should be prescribed in every bill TO
break up the evils that have grown up
under the present antitrust laws. The
committee will revise the bills with this
in view.
The holding corporations bill as drafted
would make unlawful holding companies
that combine the stock Of corporations
so as TO lessen competition, but would
not affect companies which hold the stock
of corporations that form essential parts
Of their business. Holding companies
that are entirely for investment and not
for business directly are not prohibited.
This would permit concerns like the big
insurance companies TO hold the stock Of
corporations which are not competitors

Gianini. who had been held as a suspect
for the murder of Lydia Beecher, the
young Poland, y. I. school teacher whose
body was found in a clump Of woods near
that town. was arrested to-day on war
rant charging him with the crime. The
.nauest has not been concluded and no
autopsy has been held, but Coroner Huyck
said that, in his opinion. the evidence al
ready adduced justified the issuance Of the
warrant
Alleged admissions made by Gianini,
who is sixteen years old and former
pupil of Miss Beecher, are held by the au-
thorities as tantamount to a confession.
In support of the youths reputed state
ments an affidavit was made to-day by

boy several days ago asked him 10 assist
in numbering Miss Beecher and robbing

was recovered near the scene Of the
tragedy and the knife taken from a pantry

boy wore contained red spots, which he
said were paint spots. and the garment

In infiicting the blow on the side OF the

down and discovered the murder. When
CAPTAIN Ward of the West 30th street
police station arrived with Lieutenant
John Becker, Tony had left the place.
The police believe that when found he
may throw some light on the case.
Slevins became known in the neishbo--
hood about four months ago, when he
rented room at No. $40 Sixth avenue,
across the street. He paid Mrs. Elizabeth
Devery six dollars for three weeks rent.
At the end of that time he gave up the
room, but appeared at intervals at the
saloon Of Costello & Boles and was
allowed TO sleep in the cellar. The last
seen Of him alive was Saturday night.

served him a drink in the back of the

Slevins was about twenty-siS years old.
To acquaintances at Mrs. Deverys and
at the saloon he said he was born in
Denver. and was educate AT a Jesuit
college in Montreal. His father he said
was a retired barber Of Boston. Prior
to coming to New York he said he was
employed as a salesman for the Cudahy
meat company, of Chicago. He also told
Of being a referee for indoor baseball and
basketball matches and OF contributing
sporting articles 10 a New York news
paper. Drink. he confessed, was the cause
of his downfall.
Near the body were several souvenir
cards of recent date, which were sent TO

Of these there were no other indications
