new TRADE PACT
WITH CAR LIKELY
Diplomats Expect Treaty
Giving American Jews
Passport Rights.

Washington, Sept. %. Russia's man
Hesitation Of friendship for the United
States expressed in her announced in
tention of signing a peace commission
treaty may lead to negotiations for a
new treaty OF commerce and navigation
between the two countries TO replace
the one abrogated during the Taft adj
ministration.
This was the view Of many diplo-
matists and officials when il became
known that Secretary Bryan had re-
ccived word OF the intention Of the
Russian government TO negotiate a
treaty along the same lines as those
with Great Britain. France, Spain and
China. reported favorably by the Sen
ate to-day. These treaties would sub
nit all disputes that cannot be set
tied BY diplomacy TO a permanent COM
mission for investigation during q pc
Rod of one year and are regarded BY
the Washington government as a prac-
teal safeguard against the sudden out
break Of war.
Officials expressed the view that Rus
sia's reported modification Of stringent
regulations against the Jews because
of their loyalty to the government in
its struggle in the present European
war might pave the way for an under
standing for a new treaty. The treaty
was denounced by Congress and became
imperative January I. 1918. because IL
was interpreted BY Russia as permit
ting the exclusion OF American Jews
from her dominions.
Afterward Russia remained infeXiole
and it came TO be understood here that
any negotiations for new pact must
be initiated By the United States. The
Russian government gave no indication
that il would recede from its practice
Of excluding American Jews from Rus
STA, and it was intimated that should >
new treaty be entered into it would
omit any references to free travel or
Americans in Russia.
Secretary Bryan announced tonight
that Sweden had agreed to sign a peace
commission treaty along the lines OF
those previously signed with other ma
tons. This brings the number of peace
treaties up to twenty-eight. including
those negotiated and in process Of con-
summation. Neither Germany nor
Japan has signifed a willingness 10
sign similar pacts as yet, but the sub
ject is under consi deration by them.

COMSTOCK AGAIN
FAILS AS CENSOR
District Attorneys Office
Approves of "The Beau
tiful Adventure"

Anthony Comstock, who complained
to the District Attorneys Office about
the alleged Objectionable scenes in
1.-THE Beautiful Adventure" has again
failed to qualify as a dramatic censor.
Assistant District Attorney William
A. Dc Ford and his secretary, Lloyd
Willis, attended the performance of the
play at the Lyceum on Monday night
to determine if Mr.. Comstock's nllega-
tions were we'll grounded. As result
the play is praised for its dclicacy and
spirit.
The following section Of n letter
which was sent TO Mr.. Whitman by
Mr.. De Ford and Willis was made
public at the Office Of the District
Attorney:
1.-THE play is spriGhtly comedy Of
the French type, and contains no oo-
jcctionable matter, either in lines or &C
ton, unless it be a discussion of sex
and social problem. presented in the
last part Of the second act. The lines
OF the part of the second act referred
to portray phase Of romantic love OF
nature so delicate and intimate as
permits either its expression or por-
trayal without vulgarity.
"The action Of this part Of the play,
as distinguished from the dialogue, IS
marked by restraint and delicacy, and
has in itself no Objectionable features:
The play is neither indecent, immoral
or improper within the meaning OF the
provisions OF our penal law as they
have hitherto been interpreted and ap-
Tlicd." -,
The District Attorneys Office will
take no further action IN the matter.

The Vaudeville Comedy Club, as the
name suggests Is or was all organiza-

men. Whatever the reason for the
financial depression that caused the
club TO run into debt. it might be
stated that the bar certainly was not
at fault, for it contained a variety OF
beverages that any late at night club
could be proud Of and which gave no
excuse to any member to "go out for a
drink"
Included in its assortment were

ANTITRUST BILL
In FINAL FORM
ConferreeS Agree on Amended
Measure To Be Presented
To-day.
rFron The Tribune Buresu.l

Washington, Sept. .23.-The Clayton
antitrust bill, the second of the ad-
ministrstion antitrust measures, in
the final form in which it will be pre-
scented to both houses tomorrow, was
agreed on by the eonferrees to-day,
Republicans voting against it.
The measure differs greatly from
the bill passed by the Senate. The
Senate provision directed against ty-
ing clauses covering the sale of ma
terials and supplies for use with
patented articles is entirely rewritten
and the penalty eliminated. The tying
clause is forbidden only in case the
agreement is such as to substantially
lessen competition"
The Senate provision making court
DEGREES in antitrust suits brought by
the United States prima facie evidence
in private suits is made applicable
only to DEGREES hereafter rendered.
The House provision prohibiting in
terlocking directorates, among bank
ing institutions restored with
slight notifications. To enforce COM
phance with the prohibitions regarding
interlocking directories the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Federal Trade
Commission and Federal Reserve
Board are clothed with authority to
bring the necessary proceedings.
The labor and anti-injunction sec
tons of the bill are substantially the
same as those approved by the Senate.
The Senate provision for the re-
ownership and dissolution of corpora
tions adjudged to be monopolies is
omitted from the final draft of the
bill. II is probable that there will be
protest on the part of some Demo
Gratis against this. as well as
against the section relating to patent
monopolies, but it is expected that
tn measure will be approved and
signed as it now stands.
