ANTITRUST BILL
FIGHT BEGUN IN
EARNEST in THE
SENATE MONDAY
Giving Private Parties
Benefit of DEGREES
Is at Issue

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE first fight in
the Senate on the Clayton antitrust bill
began in earnest today over the question
of giving private parties bringing dam
age suits against a trust the benefit of
DEGREES won by the government in a sue
cessful dissolution suit against the same
combine.
Consideration of the bill had been sim
plified by striking out the sections for
bidding discrimination. This was done
by Senator Culberson at the decision of
the judiciary committee so that these
subjects might be dealt with exclusively
in the trade commission bill now in con-
ference.
Senator Walsh of Montana led the de-
bate in favor of making such a decree
conclusive as to all facts and law in is
sue In private suits for damages.
The bill was laid aside before a final
vote was taken, but in perfectng the
committee amendment the Senate voted
to make the "prima facie" value to be
given dissolution DEGREES apply to DEGREES
witherto entered. This was done by a
vote of "a to 49, Vice President Marshall

Apparent Good Faith

President Wilson replied that he
saw no reason to question Japan's
good faith in that connection, but
carefully refrained from expressing
any opinion on the merits of the ulti-
matum or Japan's attitude. Published
reports to the effect that the President
had expressed himself as satisfied with
Japans course were promptly denied
by Secretary Tumulty tonight at the
direction of the President.
Army officers discussed among them
selves whether Japan might not also
take the German possessions in the
Samoan and Caroline islands, which
are on the American line of commune
cation to the Philippines and how this
eventually might affect the possess
slons of America in the Pacific.
It was explained that in the event
of Germany's refusal to meet the Jap
anese demands, and of Japanese sue
cess in war, the conditions imposed
upon Germany might be extended so as
to include the cession to Japan and to
her ally, Great Britain, of all of these
island groups gathered in by Germany
during the past quarter of a century.
Germany recently has tried to indi-
cate to the United States government
the community of interests that exis
beween he wo in their Asiatic hold
ings. Last week this took the form
of suggestion that the eastern wa
tiers and shores be neutralized by mu-
tual consent.
The Japanese belief is that the Ger
man government will take full ad-
vantage of the weeks time allowed in
the ultimatum for a reply. The inter-
Vening time, it is believed, will be
spent in Fastening the defences of
Tsing-Tsu, the single German naval
station; in planting mines in the sea
and in placing the German fleet in Sc
cure position under the guns of the
short fortificati tons.

Same Passing House

elimination of the effort to enact
this legislation followed reputation by
the Senate of the conference report on
the measure, which previously had
been radically amended in the Sem
ate. AS it goes to the President the
bill is the same as it passed the House
more than a week ago.
The conference report met defeat in
the Senate by a vote of 40 to 20 be-
cause of determined opposition to the
provision which would have admitted
to the American coastwise trade all
foreign built vessels taking American
register within two years.
Twenty Democrats and 20 Republi-
cans voted to reject the report which
was submitted and championed by
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
inter-oceanic canals committee. Seven
teen Democrats, Senators Borah and
Jones, Republicans, and Senator Poin-
dexter, Progressive, voted for it.
AS finally agreed to the bill besides
providing for the registering of for
eign- built ships, authorizes the Presi-
dent, in his discretion, to suspend pro-
visions of the law requiring all watch
officers of American vessels in the for
eign trade to be citizens of the Unit
ed States and requiring survey inspec-
ton and measurement of vessels ad-
mitted to registry by officers of the
United States.

Enthusiasm ran high at the Repub-
tican meeting at Island Park Monday
when the first gun of the campaign
was fired. 1t was as the Democrats
feared a big meeting and everybody
was glad that he was a Republican.
The rally had the appearance of being
a celebration of the winning party af-
ter an election There was also a con-
spicuous fact that there were people
there who had been Democrats and
felt good at a Republican meeting.
The forenoon session was intended
for a conference of the town commit
tees of Kennebec county but before
noon several hundred people had gath
cred and before the afternoon meet
ing had closed it was estimated that
1000 people were there. Over 100 au-
tomobiles were on the grounds.
Encouraging Reports
Following a brief address by Frank
Ham, Kennebec member of the State
committee, in which he assured the
crowd that the Republican prospects
We're better at present than in years,
reports were given from the various
committeeman. These were given with
an idea to find out conditions in the
particular locality. Chairman Park
hurst told the committees that he
wanted to hear the bad as we'll as the
good, if there was any. Only two towns
reported anything but he best condi-
tons for the Republican ticket and
each representative gave facts to prove
his statements.
Albion was the first town heard
from One of the committees said:
We are coming alright Interest is
greater than 1t has been for years. We
will get much larger vote this fall. !"
Blaine S. Viles, chairman of the coun-.
ty committee, reported for Augusta
and he said: The Republican party in
Augusta is better than it has been for
a long time Augusta has manufac-
turing industries and they have been
damaged by the Democratic tariff and
the people realize 1t. The report from
Belgrade was that the Progressive
vote would be very small and that the
Democrats were dissatisfied with the
national administration The commit
tee from Benton said: I'VE are going
70 get some Democrats to vote for us
This fall. Several have already told
us that they were going to vote the
straight Republican ticket. Progress
sives are coming to us every day and

with the Progressive party and that
they should vote the Republican tick

he said: I'VE are in first-class sled
