TRUST BILL
Is APPROVED
UNTERNIYER SAYS 1T Is BEST
YET PRESENTED BE-
FORE CONGRESS-.
Criticises Some Portions of Ii and
Says II Should BE
Passed Soon.

WASHINGTON. May s.-SamueI
Untermyer. who was counsel for the
house money trust investigating com
mittee. to-day dissected the pending
antitrust bill before the senate inter
state committee. He approved in
general the ideas in the bill for curb
ing trusts. declaring that IL was the
best bill so far introduced at this ses.
sion OF congress. Many changes in
phraseology were suggested. however.
and In several instances Mr. Inter
myer criticized the scope OF the meas
ure's provisions.
Before he concluded Mr.. Inter
myer made IL clear that in his opin-
ion the bill should be drawn as
tightly" as possible. and that con-
gress should go ahead and put Il
through without delay. lie said bust
ness was waiting for the uncertainty
surrounding trust legislation TO come
10 an end. and warned the Democrats
on the committee that this feeling
might be reflected in the November
elections.
Forces Competition.
suggesting that the day would
come when competing corporations
might come 10 the proposed inter-
state trade commission and BE- per
mitted to merge so that there might
be regulated monopoly. MIR. Inter
myer said this bill forces competi-
tion TO the point OF ruin"
Some OF the contentious OF the wit
ness Were that the measure should b.
broadened so as To prevent the use
OF dummy directors: that no corpora
tion should be allowed to hold the
stock OF any other corporation under
any conditions: that private parties
should be permitted TO bring dissolu
tiOn suits under the antitrust &C;
with the federal government as a
party TO the action.

MEDIATION, CONFERENCE
PLANS In PREPARATION
HUERTA'S CAUSE WEAKENED
BY CONTINUED REBEL
SUCCESSES.
Mediators Have Completed Plans
For Conference u. S.
Delegates Not Named.

WASHINGTON. w II. C. May e.
While the Mexican situation was out
wardly calm to day. pending the for
NAL opening of the conference of the
South American mediators at Niagara
Fails. Ont. on May Is. there continued
an active undercurrent of discussion
and preparation for the peace plans.
and at the same time definite reports
reached the Constitutionalist head
quarters here Of sweeping victories OF
their forces near San Luis Potosi and
other points far south of Saltillo.
where II is thought the next big battle
viii occur.
The news of the Constitutionalist
successes reached here in dispatches
from General CarranZa TO Raphael Zu-
Daran. minister of the interior in the
Constitutionalist cabinet. who had a
direct wire set up TO the headquarters
of General Carranza in chihuahua to-
day. General Carranza's messages
showed that three converging cam
paigns were in active operation. each
within 800 miles of Mexico City. Gen
eral Obregon. with $4,000 men. oper-
ating IRON the Pacific coast side. had
captured all the intervening territory,
was besieging Mazatlan. and was
threatening Mexico City from the
west.
Another division. General Carranza
reported. had fought a battle at Pen
zaeos, near San Luis Potosi. which Is
500 miles north OF Mexico City. This
- the southernmost point which the
Sonsututionalists have reached in
central Mexico. and with the army
now attacking Tampico. they declare
tnat the general advance on the Mexi-
can capital Is 20 be made within a few
weeks from three sides.
Significance OF Victories.
The significance OF these constitu-
tlonalist successes lay IN the fact that
San Luis Potosi is FAR south OF Sal.
uillo. and. only 800 miles from Tam
pico on the west and Mexico City
on the south. General Carranza's re
port OF the desperate condition OF
The federals at Mazatlan was coinci-

Howard, who stated that a land and
sea engagement was carried on there
throughout yesterday. and cOnstitu-
uonalists firing rifles and field guns
from Piedra Island. while the federal
gunooat Morelos was supported by the
federal shore batteries.
Aside from the notable constitution
aNst successes. the chief military d..
velopment OF the day was the author
lzation to General Funston TO extend
his lines at Vera Cruz as might be
required for defensive purposes. with

came from General Funston that ne

Coal Lands Revert to State.

Denver.-A decree was entered in
the suit of the government against
the Northern Colorado Coal Company
in the United States District Court or
dering the return to the United States
of five tracts of land of $50 acres each
in the rich Routt county coal belt and
filed on by Annie M. Skinner, Mary L.
Brown, Kathlyn E. Brown, Mary Nc
Donnell and Alexander X. Mcdonnell.
The land had been conveyed to James
Riach, representing the coal company.
The government failed to have can
celed the patents of e. R. Miller, John
Peters and H. W. Smith, which also
had been conveyed to the coal COM
pany. The lands involved are worth
about $1O0O,000. The government
charged the coal company procured
them by fraud through the dummy en-
trymen system.

Colorado Springs.-Colorado gold
for Colorado, is the policy of John T.
Milliken, president of the Golden
Cycle Mining Company, who has re-
turned to Colorado Springs after an
absence in Europe and the East
The Golden Cycle mill output
amounts to about s500,00O month and
the money will be held in Colorado,
according to Milliken, who declares he
will not listen to any proposal that
will remove the gold from this state,
even at premium to himself
1--WE owe nothing to the Eastern
men," said Milliken. 81 am deter
mined that if worst comes to worst,
our Colorado gold shall be used to
help our Colorado banks and other
institutions. No doubt, gold will be
at premium before the effects of the
war are over, but 1 prefer to have the
banks in this state handle it, rather
than circulate it outside"
MillilSen declares the European war
is ian outrage on civilization and nor
NAL conditions will not be restored in
generation" Had the New York
stock exchange remained open three
days longer, Milliken believes this
country would have witnessed the
greatest panic in it's history.
He fails to see where the struggle
in Europe will help American inter-
ests. The countries of the world are
so closely related these days, ex-
planned Milliken, that one section can
not suffer without the world suffering
in some degree.

HOSPITAL BOARD MEETS
Decides To Install Water System To
Remedy Present Conditions.

The Board of Managers of the Fred
erick City Hospital, at their regular
monthly meeting, Tuesday afternoon,
decided to solve the question of an in
sufficient water supply on the upper
floors of the hospital by installing
system rather than rely on the city
supply.
The question of getting water on the
upper floors of the institution has
been one Of some months standing
and the lack of sufficient supply has
caused great annoyance at the 'insti-
tuition. The nurses are compelled to
carry water in pals to the upper
floors and thus lost much time, be-
sides being put to much inconveni-
ence in caring for patients.
The report of the hospital showed
that 81 patients were treated during
the month of October, Al being adj
mitted, one dying, So discharged and
27 remaining in the institution. Of
these 10 were full pay patients, AZ
part pay, and 20 free patients.
The report of the committee in
charge of the fair recently held in
Company A Armory stated that "but
for the liberal donation of a local
banker, and the great generosity of a
few who attended, the earnest work of
the Hospital Guild and donations
from Frederick florists the fair would
have been a dismal failure"
AS it was, the report stated, it prov
ed a success and Company A was
highly praised for it's allowing the use
of the Armory and the assistance of
its members.

MADE IN FREDERICK EXHIBIT

Plans for Company AS Bazaar to be
held in the Armory during Thanks
giving week are Undertaking.. The
frame work of booths on one side of
the armory has been erected and the
woodwork on the opposite side will
be in position by the latter part of
the week or the first of next. This
promises to be one of the biggest baz-
ars ever held in Frederick.
Oyster and meat suppers will be
served to patrons in the five booths
erected in the armory. Suppers will
be sent around town and will be de-
livered by the Boy Scouts Of the city.
The charge will be twenty-five cents.
In Charge of Booths.
Those who will have charge of the
booths are:
Mrs. S. Lewis Motter, the Misses
Wilson, Miss Lucy Thomas, Miss Ma
bel Kindley, Mrs. Lloyd G. Cutler and
the Domestic Science Department of
the Girls High School. Each of these
supervisors of eating booths will Sc
lect and appoint about ten assistants.
These appointments will be. announ-
ced later. Mrs George Salter will be
in charge of the kitchen, which is
suitably equipped for this purpose.
Mrs. George Salter, Jr., will have
charge of the supply table.
The Camp Fire Girls are preparing
to make an onslaught on the secrets
of the people of Frederick and the
events that are to happen in the flu
ture. The girls, under the supervis-
ion of Miss Pearl Eader, will have
charge of the fortune telling tent.
They are now making extensive re-
search into the mysteries of palm
reading. One of Company AS tents
will be pitched on the armory floor
and will have a suitable background.
This promises to be one of the most
attractive features of the baZar.
made In Frederick Exhibit"
Much interest is being shown in the
made In Frederick" exhibit, which
will occupy prominent section of
the armory. This will be the first
exhibit of this character displayed in
Frederick.
Farmers are showing much enthus-
iasm over the agricultural display
which will be made by the Ere lericll
County Farmers Association. Choice
products will be shown.

Mayor Checks Police Work.

Unconsciously the night shift of the
Frederick police force measured up to
requirements on Wednesday morning.
1t was the fisrt time in the history of
the present administration that Mayor
of Frederick was directly in touch
with the work of the police of the
city late at night and early in the
morning. Until o'clock yesterday
morning Mayor Fraley sat in police
headquarters and checked up each
officer as he reported from his post
and as he reported at the headquar-
tiers to take his turn at Office work.
For. more than a year the police
force of the city has been the object
of criticism. Often complaints have
been lodged with the Mayor to the
effect that the officers sleep on their
posts; that they fail to report at po-
lice headquarters and that they fail to
make the required inspection of their
beats. The Mayor is now satisfied
that in chief these criticisms are with
out cause; that the members of the
night force do cover the required
route and do report at headquarters
at specified hours.
InpsectiOn Was Secret.
The Mayor took no one into his
confidence. On Tuesday night he had
occasion to go to police headquarters
and then he decided to see personally
the night force at work. Not a men,
Der of the force, even the sergeant,
knew of the purpose of the Mayor.
For this reason the Mayor feels that
Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
ing could be used as a standard for
the work of the police.
officers report by telephone from
all sections of the town. The Mayor
received an "all's we'll" from the vi
cinity of the Norris Iron and Steel
Company plant, in the extreme north
east section of Frederick, and reports
from the outskirts of all parts of the
city
This is probably the first time that
a mayor of Frederick has made it his
business to conduct an investigation
of the police force that reached far
into the morning hours.
