MRS. CARMAN NOT ALLOWED
TO TELL STORY TO JURORS
DISAGREE
Administration Leaders In Senate Are
Wide Apart on General Prlnei-
pies of Trust Legislation.

WASHINGTON. u. c.. July To-
That administration leaders in the
S~nSe still are unable 10 agree on
tho general principles OF trust leEisla-
ton now before them vas emphasized
to-day in spirited debate between sen
ator Hollis. OF New Hampshire. and
senator Reed. OF Missouri. over the
interstate trade commission hill.
The wide divergence OF views over
the trust program was further indi-
Gated IN Senate committees. the Judi
ciary committee falling after a solid
week OF labor TO perfect the Clayton
hill, which they had expected TO com
plete last Monday The interstate
commerce committee failed again to
meet TO resume consideration OF the
Rayburn bill TO requisite Issuance OF
railroad securities. and u was stated
ty member OF the committee that no
meeting could be held before Friday.
II was asserted also that practically
no progress had been made since last
week, the committee having traversed
In circle and returned 10 the original
starting point
The difficulties the Senators are on
counterinE in committees, together
with open disagreement as to princi-
pies evidenced on the floor. gave some
administration leaders concern over
the fate of the trust bills and served
70 increase the growing belief that
the various measures pending should
be consolidated into one measure.
