To speed WORK
ON TRUST BILLS
Senate Committees to Com
pIete Entire Program by
Monday if Possible.
Consolidation of All Three Ad-
miniStration Measures Is
Being Discussed.

With considerable progress already
made toward perfecting the administra
tons antitrust program. Senate commit
tees were prepared to speed up the work
today on those measures They were de.
termined to complete the entire program
by Monday. if possible, for submission te
the Senate. AS the Senate will not meet
until Monday, this was expected to afford
ample opportunity to finish the work
The results of the first days labors
of the interstate commerce and the
judiciary committees perfected the in
terstate trade commission bill now be
tant amendments bearing on the Sher-
man law, decided not to amend the much
discussed section 5. in which unfair COM
petition is declared unlawful and took
up and considered amendments to the
railway securities bill
The judiciary committee considered
the Clayton antitrust bill, discussed,
with other sections. those relating tic
companies and to labor unions. and made
numerous tentative changes in the
phraseology of the bill.
May Complete Amendments Tonight.
The interstate commerce committee
when it met today expected to COM
plete its amendments to the railway
securities bill by tonight. An amend
ment which may be proposed would
give the interstate commerce commits
sion absolute control over the issuance
of railroad securities at all times.
The judiciary committee was ex-
pected to resume consideration of the
sections of the Clayton bill relating
to labor unions, some changes in the
phraseology of which probably will be
made. Both committees hope to have
their reports on the two measures
ready by Monday.
Possibility of consolidating all three
antitrust bills with view to expediting
completion of the program was being
discussed by senators today. Many OF
them were said to be in favor of con-
solidation and some senators said this
may be done when the bills reach the
Senate floor next week.
Trade Commission Amendments.
The two amendments added to the
trade commission bill by the interstate
commerce committee provide:
That no order of the proposed trade
commission for or against a corpora
ton shall be used as evidence in any
subsequent prosecution brought against a
corporation under the Sherman law.
That nothing in the act to create the
trade commission shall be construed as
amending the Sherman act, nor in any
way affecting the provisions of that act
as it stands on the statute books.
The latter amendment was added be-
cause of widespread claims that the pro-
posed measure would weaken the Sher-
man act

POLAND QUARREL
THMRS. NAY[OR
Police Say They Have Found
Witnesses Who Know of
Controversy.
Inquest Into Death of Woman
in Double Tragedy Con-
Quoted by Coroner.

Continuing their investigation of the
double tragedy enacted early yesterday
morning in the house of Mr.. and Mrs
w L. Wilkins. 15a5 Esd street, Randle
Highlands. the police say they found
witnesses who stated that William
Poland and Mrs. Lola Naylor engaged
in quarrel while on the excursion to
Marshall Hall Thursday night.
These witnesses and all others who
were found by the police were sum-
moned to appear at the inquest, when
was scheduled for today. Coroner hewitt
was on hand at the morsue at 1850
o'clock this morning ready to proceed
with the hearing, and the detectives
and policemen who conducted the IN
vestigation We're also there.
In d room adjoining that in which the
Jury and spectators assembled was the
body of Mrs Naylor. the young woman
who separated from her husband about
Christmas. while her husband. John T.
night at the Anacostia police station
as material witness. was in attend
ance to tell of his domestic woes.
Poland Still at Hospital.
Poland who is accused of the killing
of Mrs. Naylor and is alleged to have
attempted suicide. is still in Casualty
Hospital He was unable to attend the
inquest. although physicians at the
hospital said he probably will be able
to leave there next week
The wounded man still denies that he
fired the four shots in the room IN
which he and Mrs. Naylor were FOUND
wounded. His statement is that he re-
turned from the excursion with Mrs.
Naylor, and that he was still awake
when the shots were fired, but by
~.
1t is charged by the police that Po-
land shot Mrs Naylor and himself and
in support of their theory they point
to the nature of the wound Poland re-
ceived. The bullet that passed through
his body and probably imbedded itself
in the dashboard, it is stated, entered
near the second rib on the right side,
took a downward. glancing course AMI
found exit near the seventh rib on the
left side
The police claim it is Just such wound
as would ordinarily be inflicted by a
person attempting suicide by shooting
himself through the body.
Not Done by Outsider, They Say.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins claim that an
outsider could not possibly have done the
shooting, the police say. declaring the
doors were locked and the windows closed
when they started for assistance, follow
ing the shooting.
Had a person from the outside fol-
lowed the couple or been secreted in
the house, the police say, a door or
window would have been found open by
Mr.. Wilkins, who was first to leave the
house.
Arrangements for the funeral of Mrs.
Naylor have not been completed. Her
husband stated that her life was insured
for small amount. and that as soon as
the inquest is concluded he will arrange
for the funeral 1t is possible that the
body will be taken to the home of Mrs.
and that the funeral will take place
Monday.
Relatives OF both the dead woman and
the wounded man were at the morgue to
attend the inquest, and counsel for Poland
were also on hand.

UNIONS GETTING TOGETHER,
Amalgamation of Labor Organiza
lions Progressing in London.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
LONDON, June 24-The amaleamation
of the trades unions goes steadily for
ward. Following closely upon the work.
ing agreement between the miners, trans
port workers and railwaymen, with a
total membership of 100000, which has
now been finally settled. the General
Laborers' Union. which has an immense
organization spreading all over the coun-
try. has been admitted to the amalgama-
ton. Thus, practically all the unions
whose members mine coal or handle the
freight of the country are in one organi-
cation.
This is the reply of the workers to the
combination of the employers of the
country. but it is only part of what the
trades unionists aim at They are work
ing for general amalgamation of the
lesser skilled or general labor At present
the workmen are faced with an alarming
growth in the employment Of cheap
Chinese and other eastern labor, chiefly
at the great ports, where Cinnamon and
Indians are arriving in increasing num-
bers. and they project some drastic
action, either political or direct to put a
stop to this competition.

DIVISION SENTIMENT GROWS.
Bishop Watson Foresees Two Dis
tinct Nations in England.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, June 25.-The possibility of
the north and the south Of England be-
coming TWO distinct nations was almost
seriously discussed by Bishop Watson.
dean of Manchester. at a recent meeting
in London. The bishop said that any
one who had gone from the south TO
the north, as he had done. would be
struck by the widening gulf between the
two sections. For one thing. there was
the growing difference of ecclesiastical
feeling. the south showing more and the
north less sympathy with ritualistic
practices.
The differences had also been augment
ed by the tenacity with which the north
and Lancashire particularly. had chung
to the doctrines of free trade whereas
the south of England was largely, though
not entirely, given to protection or tariff
reform.

great interest by waterworks men
