He gave out a statement in which he SAID
referring to the trade commission bill:
This bill is not an antitrust measure

TURN ABOUT.

discussing woman's status in India,
New York suffragette, on her return from
a tour of the world said at the Colony
Club:
"I WAS surprised to learn while in Bonn
ba.y that woman's position In lnola Is
the means Of depriving all natives-eVeh
rative princes-of membership in the
smart English clubs
"Most OF us attribute the exclusion OF
Indians from English clubs to snoobish-
ness; to contempt for an inferior, sub
iect race. In this we are mistaken. The
reoson for this exclusion is revealed in a
discussion between British army oncer
and a married Indian nobleman. me
army officer, annoyed at the Indians at
tentlons TO a young English girl, said TO
him irritably:
".How would you like il II we firted
with your women as you frt with ours!
"'Ah.' the Indian replied. with a sneer
we see to it that you have no chance to
hirt with our women. II you don't take
the same precaution you have only your
selves to blame
This is the explanation of the exclu-
sion of the Indian from English club life
High caste Irdian women are not per-
rlitted to mingle with English women, let
alone with English men; they are not
taken by their husbands and fathers into
society Therefore the English club ofli-
GERS decided. and think they were wlse
that the Indian has no right to expect en-
tertainment from the English women at
club balls, dinners. etc, when he takes
good care that his own women shall never
as much as be seen by Englishmen."

POWER In CONGRESS
Southern Railway Counsel
Opposes Provisions of
Rayburn Bill.


Washington June ga. p. Thorn, gen.
eral counsel for the Southern Railway
to-day argued against some Of the pro-
visions of the Rayburn bill, regulating
the issue of stocks and bonds by railroads
and other common carriers, before tue
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee.
He declared that should Congress enact
this bill into law, as It passed the House.
giving the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion entire discretion as to the issue OF
securities by the railroads, as proposed
by the measure, Congress would go pe-
yQnd its proper powers.
Mr.. Thorn warned the committee that
il stringent regulations were adopted
against railroads, regulations which would
prevent their growth and development 20
meet the needs of the public. the time
wolld come when government ownership
would be demanded But he said, he had
become convinced that the people or the
various states would eventually be strong
ly opposed to government ownership De-
cause IL would remove from taxation
property which now pays the country
over s19s,OOOOO0 in taxes each year.
Nothing should be done to shock pub
Ito confidence in the railroads as proper
fields for investment" continued MI
Thorn. 81 believe that you have reached
the parting Of the ways and that hence
forth you have got to build wisely IN
your legislation"
Representatives Of the Chamber Oh
Commerce of the United States appeared
before the Senate committee also to ex-
plain the attitude of that organization
toward proposed trust legislation.

Bills Passed by House,
However, To Be Amend

MEASURES REFERRED
WITHOUT CONFLICT
Republican Member Deprecates
Forcing Work on "a Worn Con-
greSS" at This Time.

Washington, June 1.-TWO important
steps in the matter of trust legislation
were taken to-day. The Interstate Com
merce Committee ordered a favorable re-
port on the Newlands substitute for the
trade commission bill drafted by sub
committee of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The substitute eliminates
the holding company and interlocking di-
rectorate features of the subcommittee
draft.
The other important step was the ref
erence to the Clayton bill supplement-
ing the Sherman antitrust law to the
Senate judiciary committee when ii came
over from the House to-day, and the ref
erence Of the Covington and Rayburn
bills, providing for trade commission
and for the regulation of the stock and
bond issues of railroads and other com
mon carriers TO the Interstate Commerce
Committee.
A conflict over the reference of these
bills had been predicted, but none oc-
Cured. Senator Overman. acting chair
man Of the Judiciary Committee, said
later that his committee would take up
the Clayton bill, which, among other
things, prohibits interlocking directorates
and holding companies, as soon as pos
sible He added that he hoped and ex-
pected that the bill would be passed
and become a law at the present session,
Programme To Be Pushed.
This statement by Senator Overman is
taken to indicate that the Senate Demo-
cratic leaders are getting in line to put
through the Administrations trust legisla-
ton programme. though the Senate prob
ably will amend in many respects the
bills as passed by the House.
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee, gave
out a statement in regard to the trade
commission bill as follows:
The committee determined to-day 10
segregate the trade commission from the
supplemental legislation referred TO- ana
have authorized me TO present an amend
ment in the nature of a substitute Tor
my original bill, providing for trade
commission. The committee concluded to
name the trade commission the Federal
Trade Commission instead of the Inter
state Trade Commission in order clearly
TO distinguish it from the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
THE fear that has been expressed that
this bill will inaugurate wholesale in
ouisition of the $4,000 corporations Of the
country is groundless. Power to investi-
gate is given with reference TO such cor
porations as the commission may deslg-
nate This power is substantially the
same as is now possessed by the Bureau
of Corporations, and certainly the powers
Of that bureau have not been exercised
in such a way as to anoy the honest bust
ness of the country. Reports are re-
quired only from such corporations or
classes of corporations as the commission
may designate. The range Of this re-
qCirement will be comparatively mod
crate.
