HOLD MORGAN MOVE
|SOF SLIGHT IMPORT
Friends of administration Say
1t Will Not Alter Program of
Antitrust Legislation.

The banking house of J. P. Morgan &
Co. in retiring from a number of di-
rectorates is being subjected to close
scrutiny here by men close to the Ad-
mInistration. 1t is being carefully an
alyzed, for the purpose of finding out
just what it mears in the way Of &C
tually Iessening the strength Of the grip
of the house of Morgan on the business
world.
The result Of that scrutiny TO date.
as interpreted here, -rGkes the retire
ment of the Morgan partners from di-
rectorates of less Import than appeared
when the first announcement WAS made.
That is to say. t appears doubtful
whether the power Of the great house
is at all Iessened by its action.
A prominent attorney and trust
authority who is in the inside con-
fercnces of Administration circles on
the trust legislation question, said 90
day that the action OF Morgan & Co.
would not alter the Administration S
legislative policy regarding trusts and
combinations, and that he saw little
reason to believe the Morgan firm had
relaxed its grip on business. He point
ed out that the vital thing was the i'll
fluence of Morgan & Co on the banks,
and that, while members of ,hc ;3rm
have retired from four different banks,
nevertheless the company still retains
its connection with every one OF these
banks.
This Administration counselor took
the position that the Abandonment Of
directOrships announced is an extremely
clever move to gain 2ubIic support and
sympathy. but that it in no way alters
the general situation or lessons the need
for far-reaching legislation.
On the other hand. while it is being
insisted in Administration circles that
the antitrust program will be in no
way altered, there is a strong element
among the Democrats in Congress that
is convinced that a halt should be called
on trust Legislation.
Radical elements in Congress take the
view that the demand for stringent leg
islation against interlocking directorates
and trust evils Is greater than ever.
They say that unless there is legislation
the country will see a series of reor-
ganizations under sanction Of the De-
partment OF Justice which will be mere
halfway expedientS and will give the
public no relief. Various progressive
elements in Congress are bent on an
antitrust campaign of great vi;or after
the holidays.

POWERS, LEADER IN
WESTERN LAW, DEAD
Jurist Made Wide Fame by His
Defense of Mrs. Bradley,
Who Killed Senator Brown.

Orlando W. Powers, former associate
justice of the supreme court of Utah,
chief counsel for Mrs. Annie n: Brad
ley in her sensational trial for the
shooting of United States Senator
Brown of Utah at the Raleigh Hotel
in this city, December g, 1906, and the
jurist who later is credited with refus-
ing to defend Harry K. Thaw, Is dead
at his home at Salt Lake City, Utah.
Judge Powers death deprives the
West of one of its greatest legal IightS,
and lawyers throughout the country. to-
day are sending messages of coincidence
to his family.
Washington knew Judge Powers best
as the man whose powerful eIoqucnce
was chiefly responsible for The verdict
of not guilty that was returned by the
jury in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict, at the close of Mrs. Bradley s
trial for the killing OF Senator Brown.
The Brown-Bradley affair was one OF
the most sensational cases in the Capt.
tails police history.
The relations Of Mrs. Bradley and
Senator Brown extended over a period
of years before the shooting. Secure
divorce his wife and marry her, Mrs.
Bradley divorced her. own husband and
then patiently waited.
Although all Utah, practically, knew
Of the relations between Senator and
Mrs. Bradley, his wife refused to allow
him a divorce, and for nine years Mrs.
Bradley and the Senator lived as man
and wife and she bore him two children.
Mrs. Brown eventually died, and Mrs.
Bradley then urged upon the Senator
his obligation to her and to her chill
dren. When he temporized and evaded,
she packed up a bundle of their CORE
spondence and came to Washington.
At the Raleigh Hotel, where they met
and quarreled, Mrs Brown shot Brad
ley. He died five days later.
The trial was sensational in the eX-
treme. The acquittal was generally
expected after the mastery plea of Mr..
Powers, and after the trial Mrs. Brad
ley took her children and went back to
Utah. -.

SONS second division, reached the field.
AS he galloped up the hill, where the
gunners were bravely holding on in aid
of Ransom's line, his horse was shot
under him. and he, with two Of bis
staff officers, fell wounded. The diyi-
sion, under General Robert A. Cam
eron, came upon the field at double
quick before the enemy had swept the
clearing of Ransom's valiant soldiers,
but it was too late to save the day.
The retreat had begun, and there was
no stemming the tide of Mouton's men
and the Confederate cavalry which
swarmed on the TANKS of the retreat
ing troops.
Unfortunately the road Of retreat
was narrow, and about a mile back
from the battlefield it became blocked
by a train of baggage wagons, which
had become tangled up and stuck In a
swamp. The advance Federal battery
under Captain Minis had lost half its
horses in battle and could only haul
three of the six guns from the ridge 1t
had so CALAMITY defended. The three
remaining guns were lost at the wagon
wreck, and in the same tangle the
Chicago Mercantile, Klauss' Indiana
and four other guns were abandoned,
making a loss of twenty-five Federal
guns in all. In the same hopeless jam
ITO Federal wagons and 1000 draft an
imals were caught by the enemy.

The fatal obstruction at the crossing
of the swamp turned the %retreating
army of Ransom's and Cameron's divi-
sions into a formless mass of men,
wagons and horses, crowding to the
rear. Three miles from the battlefield
these battered remnants were met by
a fresh division under General w. H.
Emory. Already the pursuing Confed-
crates were peppering the fleeing mass
with bullets, but Emory threw his line
of battle across the road into a clear
ing upon which the enemy was advanc-
ing.
Luckily for Emory the Confederates
stopped to loot the wagons at the jam,
and this gave him time to deploy the
