OF the member banks are situated 80
remotely that Il will take more than O
month to complete the election of the

COMMITTEE UNDECIDED
The Senate judiciary Trio Worried
For Report On Clayton Bill.


Washington. June 24.-After ten
days consideration Of the Clayton anti
trust bill, passed by the house. the
senate judiciary committee tonight ap-
parentiy was no nearer a conclusion
as to what 1t shall report to the SEN
ate than 1t was the day 1t took its
first look at the measure.
Members Of the committee have
found little common ground for pro-
hibition Of interlocking directorates
and holding companies. and they have
not finally agreed on how to prevent
price fixing. The sO-called labor Sec
tions have led to endless arguments
The prospects for an early agreement,
some members OF the committee say,
Is not encouraging and sentiment
against reporting any such measure
al this time is growing
new complication in the situation
came tonight when Senator Cummins
offered five propositions which he
asked the judiciary committee to ap-
prove and report as amendments to
the federal trade commission bill.
These amendments would make in
terlocking directorates and holding
companies among railroads or other
corporations unlawful where they re-
strain commerce. and would give the
trade commission or the interstate
commerce commission power to deter
mine when they restrain commerce.
There was talk again today about
an effort to have the president agree
to limit the amount of antitrust leg
islation at this session.

al forest reservation commission to-
day approved for purchase by the gov
ernment number Of tracts in Virgin
la, West Virginia. Tennessee. North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia,
totalling more than $1,000 acres.
About 1850 acres are in North Caro-
line. principally in the Mount Mitchell
region. about 1000 acres In Tennessee
and 5000 aofes in West Virginia.
This will conclude the purchases
for the fiscal year closing June 80
1914, during which the areas approved
for purchase have totaled nearly
SOC GOO acres. The lands selected Tor
acquisition by the government for
national forest purposes in the east

gurated In 1910 now total 1,105.000
acres, having purchase price of $5.-
100000.
One of the best tracts, from tim
ber standpoint, that the commission
ever has concluded to buy, contains
more than 1000 acres and Is In the
Mount Mitchell region, North Caro-
lima. It's purchase was decided on
today. It averaged more than 5000
feet of saw timber and other products

RE|CHSTAG CLOSED
IS FOREIGN RIDDLE
German Political Experts Have
So Far Been Unable To An
swer Conundrum
(Py Associated Press)

Berlin, June A. The action of the
| government in closing the Reichstag
instead OF adjourning 1t, has furnish
| ed cOnundrum which the political
experts have not yet been able to an
| swer. The governments object is not
known, and its action is wondered at
| the more because 1t meant the extinc-
tion OF numerous pending measures
desired by the government, most of
which were certain to be passed, on
| all which must hard work had been
done. Equally mysterious was the
governments covert threat to dissolve
the Reichstag, making new elections
necessary If 1t adopted. as 1t seemed
for g time likely to do. Socialist
measure providing an increase in pay
OF $24 yearly for certain postofnce,
employees. Even the newspapers
friendly to the government ridiculed
the idea Of going to the people on an
issue so trivial.
Foremost among the measures
thrown into the basket by the
closing Of the Reichstag WAS the pc
troleum. Others to suffer the same
tate were the measures to regulate
bookkeeping. to define the rights and
duties OF aviators, to establish ju-
venile court. to sharpen the laws
against filth in word and picture"
to regula Sunday employment, to es-
tablish colonial court, to amend the
business law, the new excise bill, and
many others. Against this list Of un-
completed work the accomplishments
OF the late Reichstag are very small.
So long as 1t had to deal with broad
national questions, such as the arr
mament and taxation bills, where the
non-Socialist parties were united
against the Socialists, the work went
ahead smoothly. but as soon as these
were out of the way, shifting ALLAN
ces Of factions prevented any real
work from beirg accomplished.

JUDGE EMORY sPEER

The report OF the congressional
committee that Investigated the con-
duct OF Judge Speer Is one of the
most amusing things we have ever
seen. 1t proves more nearly than any
thing else in recent months that there
should be some kind of recall OF
judges. Some recent decisions In
this state show clearly that the ju.
dietary OF South Carolina should have
some string to 1t.
AS to Judge Speer, the committee
In stating that he could not be i'm
peached. made this amusing declara.
tion:
IAN examination of the record
shows the fact that Judge Speer
ascertained the limit to which he
go before liability to impeach-
ment or official misconduct would
accrue and went as close to the
line rs safety would permit" says
the report.
THE committee finds that the
record presents a series Of legal
expressions and an abuse OF ju-
dicial discretion, which demand
criticism and condemnation. These
hang as pretentious cloud over
his court, impairing his useful
ness. impeding the administra-
/ tion ~ justice and endangering
the integrity Of American institu-
tions."
1t seems to us that the very fac,
that Judge Speer with intent uset
his office arbitrarily right up to the
point OF Impeachment ia the mast
convincing argument that he should
be impeached.
