FEARS PRESS POWER
uNTERMYER SAYS PAPERS ARE
"RUsSlANiZING" PEOPLE.
WeIl.known Lawyer Appears Before
Senate Body on Bill to Regulate
Stock Exchanges.

Washington. March 11.-Samuel
Untermyer of New York appeared. be,
fore the senate banking and currency
committee in reply to arguments
against the bill lie has fathered for
the regulation of stock exchanges.
Instead of "Russianizing the press -
as alleged by Senator Hitchcock, Mr..
Untermyer declared the bill merely
empowered the postmaster general to
exclude from the mails any publica.
tion containing the quotations Of an
exchange not incorporated in accord.
ance with the state law. .... ......
Permit me to say that the power
and momentum of the press are in
creasing at such a rate that the dan
ger is that the press may Russianize
the people" said Mr.. Untermyer.
Mr.. Untermyer declared opponents
OF the measure had been forced to ad-
NIT that federal regulation of stock
exchanges was necessary. For state
incorporation and postal supervision,
as proposed in the senate bill, the
opponents had failed to point out an
effective alternative, he said.
Mr.. Milburn, speaking for the New
York stock exchange. suggests that a
bill similar to that under which lot.
terles were suppressed that would de.
ny the use of the mails and telegraph
for the distribution of fictitious and
unlawful transactions would answer
the purpose" continued Mr.. Inter
myer. ITO me 1t is manifest that
it would be about as valuable as a
blank piece of paper.
Anybody can detect lottery ticket,
but Mr.. Milburn fails to explain how
fraudulent or fictitious or manipulated
quotations are to be detected, unless
some machinery is to be supplied
against being used for their dis
semination."
Mr.. Untermyer said that prevention
and punishment Of manipulations were
the chief aims of the bill, and that it
did not seek to prohibit speculation.

This would give an the main trust bill features and-for an agreement on debate. There is every prospect that the Senate will pass all annual appropria ton bills by the end of June. As an evidence of the speed Il can put on. the Senate today put through the diplomatic and the pension appropriation bills and got well along in consideration of the Indian bill. Al ter the Indian bill, only the sundry. civil and rivers and harbors bills must be passed.
 According to well defined reports, re publican senators are convinced at tempts to change the structure in es- sential features of intended antitrust legislation will not be suceassful. Therefo they are not expected to of fer violent opposition to the trust bills.

Forced to Impose Censorship

Washington June 16.Whi1e persons in the confidence of the constitutionalist agency here expressed some lack of con fidence in reports that the military au- thorities had assumed sweeping control in northern Mexico, yet it was suggested that Villa had been forced to act to inn pose the censorship that he considered necessary concerning news of the cam paign against Zacatecas
 Constitutionalist agents here had re- ceived no official reports of activities in Juarez. but they reiterated that it could not be interpreted as indicating split between Carranza and Villa. They point ed out that the reported seizure of the customs house and treasury at Juarez could have no significance. because they were in the same building with the tele. graph and information bureau
 Men in the confidence of the Carranza agency pointed out that Villa had entire authority to act inasmuch as he was chief of the northern territory. which still re- mains under military rule.
