clared his confidence in the ability OF
Paul NJ Warburg. of New York, and
Thomas d. Jones, Of Chicago, and ex-
pressed the hope that the Senate
would confirm both men as members
Of the Federal Reserve Board The
President said that he was endeavor-
ing to have Warburg reconsider his
decision asking that his name be
withdrawn and was hopeful that he
would agree to this.
President Wilson said: 1T would
be particularly unfair to the Demo-
cratic party and to the Senate itself
to regard it as the enemy of busi~
ness. big or little. / am sure that it
does not regard a man as an object
of suspicion merely because he has

By The United Press.


LONDON. July appearing today
at the Womans Social and Political
Union for the first time since her Jail
release. June 2S, Mrs. Emmeline
Panhurst. militant suffragist was
promptly rearrested. The authori-
ties committed her to Holloway jail,
where she had been freed under the
"cat and mouse act following a hun
ger strike.
Mrs. Pankhurst was permitted 10
remain in the offices of the Woman
Political Union for a short time, but
as soon as she left TO go to lunch,
was seized by the police.
The appearance of the militant
leader was evidently the signal for
renewed demonstrations on the part
of the suffragists. Miss Grace Roe
and Mrs. H. F. Alice Hall created
such a disturbance by kicking fight
ing and throwing papers when ar
raigned in the Central Criminal Court
on conspiracy charges that they had
to be carried out by officers. Miss
Julia Jameson and Miss Ellen Armes
entered pleas Of not guilty. but Mrs.
Hall and Miss Roe refused to plead.
They loudly denounced the officials
of Holloway Jail from the prisoners

TO carry them out of the courtroom.

To Define MONOPOLY
I9v The United Press.


WASHINGTON, July s.---President
Wilson got Chicago's views on
trCst legislature today. Ten repre-
sertGVves Of the biggest mercantile
hrms in the Middle West visited him
as the White House and explained TO
hi1s in some detail just why they be-
lieved a drastic antitrust program
was unnecessary. They spent an
hour with the President and brought
the report of a special committee,
which in behalf of the Chicago Asso-
citation Of Commerce, has investigat-
cd the operations of the Sherman an
ti-truet law. This committee believes
that tse Sherman law as it stands is
easily workable. All that is needed
IN the opinion OF the committee is
that the law be amended so that ma
chiBery is furnished to make it easy
bf operation.
But there is no need in the opin-
ion Of the committee of the proposed
Clayton antitrust law which gives a
bill of rights TO labor, fraternal, CO.
operative, farmers and horticultural
societies and certain legal authorities
allege, sanctions DOycOtts.
Todays business" conference was
the second at the White House and
differed materially from the first. AT
the latter delegations representing the
Ohio and Illinois Manufacturers AS
EOciation demanded that the President
order Congress to adjourn and aban-
don any trust legislation at the pres
ent session. This the President very
emphatically refused TO do and short
" afterward exposed the manner in
which the sentiment against antitrust
legislation was being fOstered by GER
tain influential merchants in various
sections Of the country.
The Chicago visitors today told the
President that they fully realized thai
certain antitrust legislation was
needed If the pledges OF the Democ
racy were TO be kept They favored
\ trade commission which would have
authority to define Just what consti
tuted monopoly and to say when th'
antitrust law was being violated
They favored provision for enforce
ment Of the antitrust law that woul'
define IN exact terms how business
was 20 be conducted under it, Blu
that was rs far as they believed Con
