CLAYTON MEASURE IS
READY FOR COMMITTEE
Amended Bill Probably Will Be Re
ported to Senate Before
Wednesday.

The democrats OF the Senate judiciary
committee last evening completed con-
sideration of the Clayton bill. supple
menting the antitrust laws. They will
lay the amended bill before the full COM
mittee tomorrow and hope to report the
measure to the Senate tomorrow or
Tuesday. 1t was voted not to make pub
lie the bill as amended until 1t had been
submitted to the full committee and ap-
proved.
Although the Senate interstate COM
merce committee did not complete its
work on the stock and bond issue bill.
it made an important change in that
measure. This would strike from the
bill the provision investing the commits
sion with power to direct the purposes
for which stock or bond issues of rail-
roads should be expended. The amend
ment would provide that the commission
investigate all applications for stock is
suances and to reject or approve them.
but in cases of acceptance the commits
sion would not have the power to deter
mine how the money should be ex-
pended.

Nations on Equal Footing.

Article 10 of the convention provides:
The governments of the high contract
ing parties undertake to maintain. or. If
it is necessary. to adopt measures for the
purpose of insuring that. from the point
of view Of safety of life at sea, the ves-
sells defined in article shall be suf-

I cannot understand how the United
States Is placed at disadvantage by rea-
son of this article, unless it is assumed
that other governments are not as vitally
interested in the safety of its people as
is the United States. According to the
terms of this article, each country un-
dertakes to see that its vessels are suf-
fciently and efficiently manned. and II
we are to assume that the other nations
of the convention will not carry out this
particular article. and all other articles
in good faith, it would seem that there
was no particular reason for the United
States to have participated at all in the

Would Manage Roads.

Much discussion developed In the hear

II the commission were directed to pass
upon all proposed improvements. exten-
sions or other contemplated plans OF
railroads. it practically would constitute
itself board of managers for all the
railroads and would require a stan OF
experts almost impossible to procure
The majority of the committee were OF
the opinion that the provision In the bill
giving the commission absolute authority
over the issuance of securities would be
ample safeguard against stock watering
and initiation of values.
The committee did not complete its
work. the question of exempting from
the provisions of the bill electric rail-
roads, which carry on a slight inter-
state business having aroused consid-
cradle difference of opinion. Some
committee members believe exceptions
should be made excluding such cleo
trio lines. This would necessitate fix
ing a percentage limit.

To Be Considered Tomorrow.

Another matter left undecided was
the exemption Of telephone lines in
cluded in the bill as 1t stands. These
points will be disposed Of tomorrow.
The judiciary committee decided to
eliminate from the Clayton bill the
section which would make it unlawful
for dealers In certain commodities to
refuse to sell their product to respon-
sible applicants. 1t was also decided
to strike from the bill the provision
permitting ptcketing on the premises
of employers in time of strikes or
other labor troubles.
The provisions relating to the issu-
ance of injunctions are left in principle
as they are in the House bill, but the
wording will be changed.
The committee also decided to change
considerably the provisions relating to

Entries Coming in for Motorcycle
 Races on Decoration Day.


 Norwich will be a point of attraction for the motorcycle fans on Decoration day, for that is the date of the next Inotorcy cle racing tourney in this sec ton of the country.
 The fair grounds will be the scene of the meet of the speed demons, and parties from New London, Williman- ranged to make the trip to Norwich especially to witness the races.
 Some of the leading riders of the east have entered for the meet, and the keenest of contests will be the re- suit. Included in the quota of riders who will wait the starters gun on Decoration day will be Ted Carroll of Springfield, than whom there are few better >riders in New England, and, for that matter. in the country. Among the motorcycle speeders who will strive for laurels against the Massa- chusetts flyer are John c. Garand of Providence, who won a hill climbing event in Providence: Steiner of Phila- de!phia, Prescott of New York, Palazza of Newburg, N. Y, Brown of Worcester and Henry Driscoll of Hartford
 Norwich is winning a reputation as a leading motorcycle racing center, thanks to the enterprise of those who are responsible for the introduction of this branch of sport in the Rose of New England.

This means that he will hi. a break-neck pace from the start. and it is up to the other riders to stick. However, a dark horse may crop up and reap in the prize money, as is fre- quently the case.
 As motorcycle racing is gaining in favor, larger attendance than ever is expected, and the crowd will be swelled by the additions from the ad- Jacent cities and towns.
 The management has also arranged for a boys bicycle race, and much excitement is expected when the boys race is started.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED FIRM. Trading Except for First and Last Hours Was on Limited Scale.

New York, May 19.-SJch tendencies toward betterment as were manifested by today's stock market in it's early stages were soon dispelled by a num- Der of adverse influences, including the April report on foreign trade, gold exports resulting in the highest ex- change rate for more than five years, and numerous crop reports from the west and southwest, pointing to seri- ous damage in the more important agriculture! centers. Another factor of importance was the poor state of general domestic trade, as voiced by some of the leading mercantile inter- ests of the country.
 Marked firmness was shown in the final dealings, however, and such net changes as occurred were mainly in the direction of gains. The late buy early decision of the freight rate case, for which there seemed no warrant othsr than the fact that the inter state commerce commission is known to be earnestly at work on the revised schedule.
 Trading, except for the first and last hours. was on a very limited scale and, as usual, devoted largely to the so-oalled speculative favori1es. Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and the metal shares were frequently un- der pressure, the first named being StllcSScu Dy tlIt UeCldld- ton of the first quarterly dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. Chesapeake and Ohio and Missouri Pacific were weak est of the active railers, the former, however, making full recovery from its two-point decline, despite the be- lief that its dividend is to be pruned in the near future.
 Dealings in the special group were without significance and the ovement as whole suggested little more than a. continuance of professional opera uons, based on day to day conditions. Traders endeayored to extract some comfort from Washington advices to the effect that impending trust legis- latfon Is likely to be checked.
