day said in the debate that he intend
ed Offering an amendment that would
authorize the proposed commission to
limit the amount of capital stock that
any single corporation should be per-
mitted to use in any particular line OF
industrial activity.
Much of his argument today was de-
voted to an advocacy of this principle,
which he said he believed would have
a salutary effect in depressing COM
binations and making monopoly i'm
possible.
The Iowa senator declared he was
not attacking big business" as such.
He realized, he said. that business in

Washington, July l.-Forty-two of
the fifty-tWo democratic members of

noon at the suggestion of the presi-
dent and adopted a resolution declar-
ing it to be their purposed to remain
in session until a trust program had
been disposed Of.
The senators were not bound to any
particular form of bill, nor was there
any effort to make the pending prop

have been threshed out and the leaders
know what they want and what the
president will approve
Senators Kern. Stone and Lewis
conferred with the president this aft
ernoon and discussed the situation
concerning trust Legislation and the
ACCESSIBILITY of holding this conference.
The president agreed that it would be
wise for the country to know through
some action of the senate that the
proposed action was not to be aband-
oned. AS stated by one Of the senators
who talked with him, it was said that
the president did not urge any par
ticular measure and he said he did
not think the pending bills at this
juncture, at least, should be made
party measures. Word was carried
back to. the senate that the president
approved the conference.
1t was agreed that all possible dis
patch should be made and the senate
kept on the job continuously as pos
sible. With this end in view, Senator
Kern, chairman of the caucus, was in
structed to ask for night sessions next
week to consider bills on the calendar
and other bills of Importance that
might come up. Senator Clark plainly
told the conference that there was 9TH
err legislation of Importance that
should be considered and he depreciat-
ed talk of the senators TO the effect
that the trust program was the only
important thing for the senate t. con-

The man playing the guitar Is sur
rounded by four fellow convicts. whose
voices blend tremendously in a quaint
Spanish minor melody. one clicks cas-
tanets in drowsy rhythm as he rocks to
and fro Even the wind swayed palms
within and without the prison seem TO
swing to the plaintlve air. 1t Is a ro-
mantle. restful scene. Except for the
iron bars the shaded entrance would
never be taken for the portal of a
prison.
Just before midnight the men begin
to drop OFF They doze over their music
and over their talk.
Better get to bed, boys" says the
keeper gently as he turns now and
then from his dice.
Drowsily. when they get satsfac-
torily ready, the men stumble through
the frownlng entrance, their footballs
echolng along the tiled corridors as they
seek their cells. The lovers at the
Swallowed end OF the wall show no in
tention Of parting. once during the
night the woman leaves for a few mo-
ments, entering a nearby house, from
which she soon returns with little
basket full Of food She watches the
convict fondly while he makes table
of the wall and eats. A portion he re-
serves for less favored prisoners. who
in response to his low hist" come out
of the moonlight to partake.
Midnight strikes. All save the lovers
and the keeper and his opponent have
gone to their gloomy beds. BY and by

sweetheart. Manuel went into town

A few minutes later Manuel comes
down the moonlit road, showing in his
gait the palpable effects of Porto Rican
rum. He is admitted by Jose, who after
final embrace locks the gate at the
old stone wall and then olangs the big
front door. All Is secure and serene

Do guards within stalk ip and down
the corridors, keeping close watch oil

rung Off every few minutes? Don't be
so credulous. The Jail is as unguarded

Delightful Durance of Porto
Rican Prisons

G TRAINS OF sweet music stealing
- through the mo.nlit night. Sounds
from a daintily played guitar
accompanying the love laden tones of a
sympathetic voice. The air balmy
as only tropic air can be. Dia-
demmed in the warm tinted skies the
bright stars. Fleecy clouds lazily cross
ing the azure vault in the foreground,
with magnificent mountains on the dis
tant horizon line.
This is the scene. Everything breathes
of freedom. The evening breeze floats
free. The sea on the nearby strand rolls
free. Natures hundred voices Of the
night murmur the chant of the free.
Yet in the centre Of the picture, caressed
by the silvery moonbeams, stands a
sombre edifice.
1t Is a Porto Rican prison. There are
heavy bars in all the window frames.
The doors are Of massive oak and iron.
A notice chiselled into one OF the stones
below the old Spanish cornice tells the
tale OF when the institution was con-
structed for the confinement of male
factors.
In the rectangular front yard OF this
prison lounge a score Of men in all
attitudes of comfort, listening to the
guitar and the song. They yawn and
declare 1t is too nice a night to go to
bed. They watch the moon dreamlly.
They talk as though their next move
ments would be made in accordance
with their own choice. They are all
convicts.
In the shadows a few feet away.
separated by a dilapidated stone fence,
stand a man and a woman. He Is a
prisoner and she is his sweetheart.
They have been talking soft love things
for two hours, leaning across the stone
barrier every now and then to kiss.
Their tender words occasionally reach
the ears Of the other convicts. who wink
and smile. This two hour love talk
has not contained q single when l
