drives a centrifugal pump that

the bottom of the tanks, forced
upward through tubes, and final

it is supplied with oxygen and

this purpose are furnished with

Washington, Feb. 20.-The hand OF
David Lamar. who recently was active IN
bringing about an investigation OF the
United States steel Corporation was seen
to-day I'm the propose TO mold up the
hands Of the Department Of Justice In the
settlement of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad case.
William r. Lawrence, a minority stock
holder I'm the New Haven. issued a state
ment to-day denouncing the PROPOSED
tlustceship plan as a suoterfuge OF capl-
talists to continue that control Of the
road which the Department Of Justice
was trying TO break up. Lamar IS SAID
to have taken much interest In the ne
gotiations and to have announced IN al
vance that Mr.. Lawrence would shed
light on the real situation.
Senator Clapp offered an amendment TO
the Norris resolution to-day directing the
Department Of Justice to lay the proposed
plan before the Senate before 1t is agreed

nothing about Lamsrs interest In the
pending negotiations. but others suspect
that the Wolf OF Wall Street Is quietly

Governor Walsh, IN his inaugural
placed himself squarey on record as III
favor of genuine and complete separa-
ton of these two New England railroads.
IL is most gratifying TO know that the
Governor has steaofasty adhered to THIS
|, position throughout the conference tnat
has been held at the Department or JUS
tice during the last few days. The Gov
ernor insists that the men who have
wrecked the Boston & Maine Railroad
should not he allowed to remain directly
or indirectly in control Of this property
Whatever the Wall Street representa-
tives may say TO the contrary, they dare
not defy the expressed will OF the Gov
ernor To Governor Walsh comes the
opportunity. and upon his shoulders lies
responsibility OF restoring the indepen-
dence Of the Boston & Maine Railroad
and giving back to New England men the
control and management CT that system.
T. W. Gregory, special assistant to the
Attorney General, left Washington to-
night for Boston. He will spend several
days in the home country Of the two rail-
roads and will go as deeply as possible
into many OF the details OF the separation

divorce was agreed upon. With Mr..

Washington. Feb. eo-The attitude Of

Forty Senators were recorded in opposi-

which provided that All questions relat-

Of aliens into the territory of the United
States and Of alien children In the puplc
schools and the Monroe Doctrine be spe-
officially exempted from the operation Of
the treaty.
The defeat Of the Chamberlain amend
ment. which was offered as a modification
Of the Spanish treaty, was interpreted as
the beginning OF the end OF the fight. the
vote disclosed a large majority IN taVor
of the ratification of the agreements as
they stand. 1t is not probable that more

BANK DIRECTORS
House Committee Asked to
Modify Interlocking
Prohibition.

Washington, Feb. 20.-That the provision
i'm the administration antitrust bills pro-
hibiting interlocking directorates among
banks is too drastic was argued before
the House judiciary Committee today by
Thomas g. Patton. counsel for the Amer
lean Bankers Association. who suggested
that 10 the Federal Reserve Board ne
delegated authority to handle the inter
locking directorates question.
But" objected Chairman Clayton, the
Presidents message relating 10 interlock-
ing directories has been referred 10 this
committee, and the party has also eX-
pressed itself on this question. ] do not
see Now legislation can be postponed
under these circumstances"
"In that event" said Mr.. Patton. II
suggest an amendment to the bill provid-
ing that there shall be no restriction re-
garding interlocking directorates among
banks. if the institutions are not in the
same city or town. and also removing the
restriction in case of banks in the same
town, unless the aggregate capital OF all
exceeds sl0cO. 900 each"
&. T.. Hunt. banker OF Waterbury,
Conn. urged that mutual savings banks
he excepted from the interlocking di-
rectorates provision, and members Of the
committee seemed I'm sympathy with this
suggestion.
The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce to-oay decided TO complete It's
revised draft of the interstate trade com
mission bill within a few days. The fin
ished draft. Il was stated, will be sub
mitted to President Wilson and Attorney
General McReynolds before the committee
reports it to the Senate, and conferences
also will be held with members of the
House subcommittee working at the
same task.
To-day the committee is understood TO
have dropped consideration of Ali amend
ments which would limit the size OF cor
porations that would come under the
jurisdiction OF the proposed commission.

but The Tribune still lives new
every morning. but. unlike other Man
haitian sheets, not renewed every
evening. The question remains, now
ever, can journalists or newspaper
men plead immunity from punishment
for refusal TO answer questions which
they think would trench on their right
Of secrecy and on their obligation to
confidence from informants or from
contributors?
