TIE VOTE DEFEATS
TRUST BILL CHANGE
Kenyon Amendment to Clay
ton Measure Fails of Ma.
lority in Senate.

When tho Clayton antitrust bill was
taken up in the Senate today, the Ken
yon amendment was pending, making OIL
GERS and directors Of common carriers
crimlnally liable who Intentionally or
negligently suffer- funds Of the corpora
tions to be embezxled or m!sapplied. BY
q tie vote Of 28 to g. the amendment
was lost. Vice President Marshall had
left the chair. which was occupied by
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska. and Sen
ator Hitchcock. having already voted
was unable to break the tie.
The Senate then took up reconsideration
Of the action in striking out OF the bill
the price discrimination and tying" con-
tract sections to allow their incorporation
into the trade commission bill.
Makes odacers Responsible.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa yesterday aft
ernoon introduced an amendment to the
section making officers and directors OF
common carriers criminally guilty If they
willfully embezzle or misapply funds OF
the carrier. His amendment would make
directors also criminally liable when they
Intentionally or negligently suffer funds
of the carrier to be misapplied.
''The New Haven railroad experience
has taught US that directors who go Of
to Europe for two years and pay no at
tention to the affairs Of the corporation
ought to be made criminally liable" said
Senator Kenyon.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
said that he had decided to support the
Kenyon amendment, as did Senator Lane
of Oregon.
Some of the democrats are urging that
the Senate make no attempt to pass the
Rayburn stock and bond issue bill at the
present session. 1t is believed. however.
by the majority of the senators that the
administration antitrust program wi will
be completed at the present session. They
hold that the President would not be will
ing to yield any part Of the hrogram now, w.
session continuously up to March next,
according to democratic leaders in both
houses. taking recesses at the time Of the
elections in November and at Christmas
| time. The feeling is strong that Con-
gress should remain in Washington not
only to complete important legislation,
but also to be on the spot In case an
emergency should arise in connection
with the European war.

RIVER ACCIDENT
Thin Ice on the Missouri River
Causes Trouble

Forest City, Jan. 9.-For the first
time this winter the Missouri river at
this point is frozen over, although the
ice yet is unsafe for the crossing of
foot passengers and teams. The first
persons to cross on the ice were Mail
Carrier William Brehl and Roy Gates,
the latter of Cheyenne River Indian
agency, and for greater safety they
dragged a boat with them so they
could utilize it if the ice gave way.
Not realizing the danger Sampson
Sturgis, who lives on Lafferty island,
attempted to cross the ice on horse.
back. When over the center of the
channel, at the deepest part of the
river, horse and rider suddenly went
through the ice, and Sturgis had a
desperate time saving himself from
being carried under the ice by the
swift current. Fortunately for him,
persons on shore discovered his plight,
and providing themselves with ropes
and other life-ssving apparatus they
went to the scene and finally rescued
him from the icy water. He was
nearly exhausted from exposure and
cold.

AMOUNT LIMITED
Attorney G. e al Rules on
Money to Be Paid County
Fairs

Pierre. Jan. attorney General
Johnson holds that county commission
ers are not compelled to contribute
more than $500 to any agricultural
fair, regardless or the sum paid in
premiums at the fair. Brookings
county raised the inquiry, and there
the amount paid on premiums amount
ed to 81. POS for exhibits. The law
states that "such agricultural corpor
tation shall receive from the county in
which such exhibition is neld a sum of
m oney equal to rs per cent of the
premiums paid for exhibits at such
annual fair of the association; provided
that such county or counties by its or
their commissioners shall in the dis
erection of such commissioners pay al
amount not less than $500 and not to
exceed 81 900 many one year" The
ruling of the department, therefore,
leaves ir entirely to the choice of the
county commissioners whether a full
rs per cent shall be paid the fair
corporation, or the minimum of $500.
