House judiciary subcommittee. Sem
ator Newlands and his conferees have
conferred with the President on that
measure and are now engaged in per-
fecting it. Jurisdiction in the House
as to the trade commission having been
transferred from the Judiciary to the
interstate commerce committee, Rep.
Adamson, the chairman, has appoint
ed a subcommittee to draft another
bill ON the same subject. Thus the
House eventually will have under
consideration one measure while SEN
ators are at work on another, unless
influences are brought to bear to have
the committees cooperate in their
deliberations before the revised meas
ures are reported. President Wilson
may be appealed to in an effort to
straighten out conditions in the inter-
est of harmony and to expedite ac-
ton.
Hearings on the pending bills were
resumed today in the House. Louis d.
Brandeis of Boston before the judi
ciary committee praised the President
for his suggestion for legislation to
give individuals injured by monopolies
the benefit in equity suits of DEGREES
against offending corporations.
Mr.. Brandeis said the constitutional
ity of the Clayton Interstate Trade
Commission bill was absolutely clear
in this respect. taking sharp issue
with President Charles Van Hisse of
the University of Wisconsin, who tes-
titled recently. He advocated legisla-
tion that would prohibit interlocking
directoyates.
''All kinds of corporations" he said,
fought to be subject to the enforce
ment of the principle that no man can
serve two masters"
The House interstate commerce COM
mittee will begin next Wednesday the
hearings on the proposed legislation
for control of railway stock and bond
issue. A general invitation was given
today to all interested to appear.

TAKES
MouLTON'S PLACE:
IN SHERIFF RACE.

Portland, Feb. l6.-After giving the
matter considerable thought, former
Sheriff William NJ. Pennell Friday con-
cluded to enter the primaries for the
Democratic nomination for sheriff. In
speaking of his decision Mr.. Pennell said
that so many members of the party had
presented the. proposition on the ground
that his candidacy would, bring about
status calculated to place the Demoera-
cy of the county in good fighting condi-
toin, he felt under such circumstances as
a man who had the interests of the party
at. heart, and who believed loyal men,.
ber of the Democracy should stand ready
to do his full duty, it was incumbent
upon him to place himself at the disposal
of his party.
Moulton Not to Run.
Sheriff Lewis w. Moulton, who has for
some little time past been doubtful of
seeking denomination, has decided not
TO do so. Mr.. Moulton's health has not
been of the best this winter, and he has
viewed an active campaign the present
year with misgivings as to the effect it
might have upon him physically. He
states his decision in the following letter:
IT wish to inform the Democrats of
Cumberland county through the Ar
gus of my decision not to be a can

sheriff l find that my health is such
that it would be unwise for me to at
tempt to participate in two campaigns,
as the primaries and the general cleo
ton to follow would demand. And fur
thermore, since returning to my home
in Standish | have found life more
worth the living than it was while in
my official capacity.
MY purpose to retire from official
life for the present, at least, applies
to all other positions as well as that

mocracy. however, it will be a great
pleasure to do my full duty.
Permit me to thank the Democrats
of Cumberland county for the honers
conferred on me. and also ] wish to
express heartfelt appreciation to the
many good friends who have made
known a desire that I should enter the
primaries onethe. present occasion.
