 STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS,.
Alleged That the Terms Imposed by the State Are impossible-Receiv- ersship Is Denied.

Washington, July 16.-New York, New Haven and Hartford Railway Company directors at a special meet ing today decided unamuosly to stand by their decision not to sell 10 the state of Mass. their Boston and Maine railroad stock under the terms imposed by that st1.
 These terms contain the provision that each certificate must bear the stipulation on the part of the pur- chaser that he will sell his shares to the state of Mass. at any time named The New Haven directors say compliance with this condition would render the stock undesirable as a purchase on any fair basis.
 Emphatic denial was made Of rumOrs that application for a friend Fly Feceigership was contemplated.
 President Jame Hustis. who pre- sided at today's meeting, declined to amplify the formal statement dealing NtAU ENE ffbBhyH AtAl atAfAAF 1ftk1AASALr It was inferred. however that the New Haven directors has reopened negotiations with the department of justice on this point and that furth- er extension of time might be grant ed pending an adjustment of this question.
 AS q matter of fact, Attorney Gen eral gave the New Haven directors until midnight of yesterday to ar rive at some agreement regarding the sale of the Boston and Maine stock. This time was extended when 1t was learned a special meeting of the board had been called for today.

ANTITRUST BILL
 .ONLY "HALF BAKED''
SENATOR sRENOIGER ATTACKS CLAYTON MEASURE AS ONE
 TO BE AFRAID OF.
Another Unsuccessmul Attempt Is Made by Judiciary Committee Co Report the Measure.

Washington, D. C, July IG.-An- other strenuous effort was made to- day by the senate judiciary commit tee to perfect the Clayton antitrust Ibill Some progress was reported and lit is hoped to have the measure ready early next week.
 While the committee was at work on the Clayton bin the Interstate Trade Commission bill was again un- der discussion in the senate Senator McCumber of North Dakota insisted that the term unfair competition was improper and that the proper
 phrase to use was The stflng Of competition by unfair methods Sen
 ator Williams agreed with him. Sen
 etor Sterling tSoutl Dakota1 said the term unfair c0mpetltion'' was ! grossly indefinite and certain to un- settle business just at time when the business world had learned the meaning by court interpretation of
 the Sherman antitrust law. He pro- posed an amendment conferring on the courts the power to enforce or to suspend the commfssions orders.
 Senator Newlanas replied that the words unfair competition" estab- lished sufficient rule of action for the commissions guidance, and that
 1t was desirable to give the commis- sion all the freedom from the courts that could be given constitutions ly
 Senator Brandiger bitterly attacked the proposed legislation as half baked" and said the country was Iairaid to attempt to find out anything about it.

ARE MAKING A SPECIALITY OF
THIS FEATURE OF THEIR
BUSINESS.

Matthews Bros. have made some
splendid sales of saddle horses In the
past few days, and have also bought
one or two good ones. They sold a
sorrel saddle horse to G. C. Caruth-
ers, of Centreville, for 1925; a bay to
w. G. Daniel, Of Humphreys county,
for 1925, and a roam saddler to Davis
Roberts, of Centreville, for 5000.
They bought fine walking horse of
J. Lem Thomas.
Matthews Bros have made quite a
feature of their saddle horses, and
there hardly passes a week that they
do not sell several to parties outside
Of the city. They handle strictly good
ones, the best that are to be bought
and dispose of them to foreign par
ties. They always have several good
ones in their barns to show to buyers.

INDEPENDENTS WILL HAVE A
CONVENTION ON NEXT
SATURDAY.
REGULAR Committee ON MONDAY
Generally Believed that the Latter
Will Accept the Resignation OF
Chairman PEBBLES and Name Dele.
gates to May Convention.

Maury county usually follows one
political affair with another political
seance. The bond election, the re-
publican convention, the PEBBLES re-
signation and the county court being
in and of the past, the folks are
getting ready for two more political
meetings.
On Saturday, pursuant to call
of the state committee, the independ-
ent democrats will meet at the court
house to elect delegates to the state
convention to meet at Nashville next
Wednesday. 1t is expected that there
will be a large crowd in attendance
as the Independent democrats who
are supporting Gov. Hooper have
been active in working up interest in
the convention.
At this time the Independent demo-
Gratis, like the regular democrats, are
divided in the county. There are the
independents who will support Gov
Hooper regardless of future develop
ments and there are the Independents
who believed that the precedents of
two years ago and four years ago
should have been followed and no ac-
ton taken at this time. They will
I not be bound to support Hooper, for
they hope that the regulars will make
a platform and nominate a candidate
whom they can support. For this
reason the Independents Of this per-
suasion will not participate in the
coming meeting.
Close upon the heels of the indie
pendent pow WOW will come the
meeting of the regular" county COM
mittee on next Monday to act on the
now famous resignation Of Chairman
PEBBLES. Two weeks ago the chair
man resigned because he was not
certain that he would support state
wide platform and an "unregenerate
ally" of Gov. Hooper for governor.
No action was finally taken on the
resignation, but the matter postponed
until next week.
1t is the general opinion that the
committee will accept Mr.. PEBBLES
resignation and provide a method for
the selection of delegates to the May
convention.

and O. B. Parsons, for the laity. The
next session of the presbytery will be
held in the fall with the Howell
church in Lincoln county.
Rev. M. M. Rankin, of Fayetteville,
was chosen moderator for the meet
ing. One night session was devoted
to the woman's missionary interests,
able and interesting addresses being
delivered by DR.. T. E. Wiggirton, OF
Nashville, and Miss Alexander. mis-
sionary to Japan. An excellent SER
mon on the Grace of Giving" was
preached by Rev. E. c. Orr.
One of the best reports made to
the presbytery was that submitted by
probably the Youngest church in its
bounds, Central church at Culleoka.
This church made the best report OF
all for it's woman's missionary work.
The petition of the official board OF
the church that it be made a station
was approved and Mooresville church,
which has hitherto been grouped
with Central, was grouped with How
ell in Lincoln county.
This action means that in the fu-
ture Central church will have ser
vices at IL o'clock every Sunday. No
church organization in all this sec.
ton has made greater progress than
Central during the past three years
