 That question Commissioner Jo- seph E. Davies, of the bureau of corporations. declared, in his annual report made public today. a federal investigation now under way hopes to answer
 In a review of working program for the bureau Commissioner Davies points out that aside from an econ omic study of the trust question, re- tail price maintenance is one of the questions to be taken up. Trusts, their efficiency and reforms, how ever, are to comprise the principal W ork for the coming year.

 In his report he discussed the monopoly question at length, saying in part
 This question is whether the trust form of organization is really efficient. If it be found that small CT competitive units in industry can produce commodities more cheaply, or even as cheaply as monopolistic units, and that they have other and greater advantages than those claim ed for the monopolistic or trust sys- tenn, then the problem is finally set tied in favor of the competitive sys- tenn, and the chief argument for the regulation of monopoly is destroyed TlLs is a scientific question of fact, Continued on Page Eighty

Posses Are Speedily Form ed, But Owing to Wild Country Capture Will Be Difficult-Other Bandits Are Sought
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl


 BELLINGHAM, Wash, Feb. 20.- The northbound Great Northern pas senger train due here at 7:50 was held up at Samish, south of here, and three men killed.
 When three passengers on the train bound for Vancouver undertook to resist, one of a trio of hold-up men who entered the day coach when the train was running along the edge of a bay nine miles south of here, the robber pulled an auto matic pistol and shot the men dead in their tracks.
 It is believed that the bandits boarded the train at Burlington, few miles south of the place where the hold-up occurred. They were seen to leave the smoking car and enter the vestibule between 1t and the day coach, where they tied white handkerchiefs over their faces.
 One of the men then entered the day coach and walked to the rear door. a second one stepped just in side the coach, while the third re- mained in the vestibule. As the first man reached the rear door and started to lock it, the three men who were killed leaped from their seats and started grappling with him. The robber killed the men, then turned and started back to the front of the coach. The robber in the front end had shot out the lights, and a half dozen women tainted. AS he passed along several women passengers held out their purses in the aisle. He gathered up handful and ran.
 Posses were speedily formed but owing to the wild country capture will be hard.

steps. With the assistance Of the
Souductorsn and the brakeman, the old
lady made the ascent safely. II was
evidently her first ride on the cars,
and we madeit point to watch her
after the train bad started. Again
we saw the courtesy Of the railroad

took great pains to put her at ease,
sad answered every question kindly,

her destination.

questions put to them, from the
