cun1AIls TRUST BILLS
Senate Decides to Pass Only One
Measure, With Feature Of Others to
Be Considered as Amendments.
House Passes Three Administration
Bills.

Bills,
Washington. June 6.-The senate
interstate commerce committee today
voted to report out only The trade COM
mission measure Of the trust bills. The
action was construed by many as an
indication Of Limitation Of the admini-
stration's program at the present ses-
sion Of congress.
There was no record vote. In a gen.
eral discussion some senators opposed
the motion and others declared them
selves opposed even to the bill at the
present time. Chairman Newlands said
the committee later might take ur
supplemental legislation. and issued
this statement: II
THE committee determined today tc
segregate the trade commission from
the supplemental legislation and au-
thorized me to present an amendment
in the nature Of a substitute for my
original bill for a trade commission. The
committee concluded to name the trade
commission the federal trade comis'
sion instead Of the Interstate trade
commission, in order to clearly dis
tinguish 1t from s.ne Interstate com
commerce commission.
Tho fear expressed that this bill
will inauguarate a wholesale inquisi
ton Of the 100000 corporations Of tht
country is groundless. This power i.
substantially the same as is now pos
sessed by the bureau of corporations
and certainly the powers Of that burea,
have not been exercised in such a way
as to annoy the honest business Of the
country.
"The committee will continue its con
eideration of supplemental Legislation
regarding interlocking directorates
holding companies, railroad securities
ETC., and its action may be the line o
amendments to the trade commission
bill or to separate legislation
Some administration senators declare
the committees action did not fore
shadow a curtailment of the trust pro
gram at this session. Those inclined t
the view that it may. pointed out tina
the committees action came after con
ferences with some of the members will

sure for an adjournment before the fal

Physically King Albert looks hard

he is decidedly shy and he apologzeo
for his English. which, however. was
very fluent
Modestly the king praised the cour
age of his soldiers, speaking Of then.

He then wrote in English the fol.
lowing message: The magnificent
generosity of the American people in
forwarding immense quantities OF

touches me very deeply.
In this my countrys hour of trial
nothing has supported me more than
the sympathy and the superb generos.

desire TO offer my deepest thanks and
at the same time convey a message

HAVE NO USE FOR LOCKS.
Since No One There Would Steal, Why
Fasten the Doors7

A land of almost utopian simplicity
IL described by writer in the London
Field. who few years ago started on
foot from Innsbruck and went by way
of Landeck 10 the Stelvlo pass and
back across the Tyrol TO Welschnofen.
One of the joys Of Il walking trip In
the Tyrol, he says. lies in the friend
ship of these exceedingly simple, hon.
orable and religious peasants.
They leave their agricultural imple-
nents lying all night in the field. COW
cred with heavy cloth. for the dew
is as dishonest among these holy
mountains as elsewhere. They have
no locks on their barns. They lift
cross with Il cry for prayers and the
remembrance of God at every quarter
Of a mile. These crosses mark the spot
where some poor soul has died during
the wild storms of winter. How dread
full those tempests are can be judged
from the fact that we found six such
homely wooden monuments. not one
more than ten years old. within half
mile.
At Longarone, which is over the Ital
ian border. we discovered that our
chamber. the best in the inn. had its
lock screwed on topsy turvy. so that
il could not be fastened. Out in the
hallway | beloved for Maria. She
came. all surprise. But the honorable
herr cannot have another bedroom
with better lock, for that's the only
lock In the hotel. the only one in the
village" The landlord bought II because
the foreigners insisted. but he had
never seen lock before. IL the hon
orable herr will wait until tomorrow,
perhaps-ah, but every one in town
knows the honorable travellers are here.
every one knows that they go Il long
trip and must need much money. so no
one could be wicked enough TO at
tempt TO deprive the honorable herr
aud his honorable frau Of thing they
need so much.
