 It was shrewd thrust and one that Godfrey might well have winced under He himself had been accused more than once of a too luxuriant ina agfnation.

 Please understand that I set this down in no spirit of criticism. I had known Godfrey intimately. admired sincerely his ready wit, his quick in- sight and his unshakable aplOmb.

MANY SUGGESTIONS
 FUR TRUST STATUTE
COMMlTTEEMEN RECEIVE MANY SOLUTIONS OF THE MoNoP-
 OLY PROBLEM.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Problems facing leaders in congress who are to pilot antitrust legislation through both houses were emphasized today when floods of suggestions poured in by mail and telegraph to supplement provisions of the tentative bill al ready made public.
 Every mali brings to Senator New lands of the interstate commerce committee, Chairmen Clayton and Adamson of the house judiciary and interstate commerce committees and to other members of congress ideas of how to curb monopolies and pre- vent ruinous competition. With each suggestion comes the request of the originator to give testimony at pro- posed hearings.
 The first problem facing the com mittees is the method of procedure with regard to public hearings Some limit must be fixed. it is felt, upon the character of testimony to be talk en. To throw the doors open to ev- erybody manifestly would be impos- sible but it is proposed to get the views of representative men in vari- ous spheres of business life and to entertain suggestions from members of congress of all parties.
 Before agreeing upon a definite program a review of all trust hear ings recently conducted by commit tees of congress is proposed to avoid unnecessary duplication, Whether it will be feasible in order to expedite the legislation to have joint hearings of the senate and house committees has not been determined but seemed more likely tonight than heretofore.
 Representative Murdock, progress. i've party leader in the house, asked the judiciary committee today to hear three leaders of the party outside of congress who will voice the progress i've view of antitrust legislation.
 The entire trust legislation outlook will he the subject of a joint con ference Sunday at luncheon given by Senator Newlands to democratic members of the senate and house in- terstate commerce and the house judiciary committees.
 Senator Newlands late today intro duced the interstate trade commis- sion bill previously presented in the house by Representative Clayton. Its appearance in the senate had been delayed by debate on the Alaskan railway measure.

LONG LINE OF EVIDENCE IS BE. ING OPENED UP BEFORE
 COUNTY JUDGE MOONEY.
ONE NIGHT SESSION IS HELD
Hundreds of Names Are Brought into the Record and Challenged Because of Not Being at Addresses, but No Proof Offered.

After grind of eleven days in the county court, including a night ses- sion last night, there is little yet to indicate when a decision will be reached in the matter of the petitions for the issuance of saloon licenses in Garland county.
 Judge Mooney yesterday devoted the day to hearing challenges made on the part of Attorneys Sumpter and Mcdonnell for the remonstrat- ors The evidence being given could hardly be called evidence in itself, for it is the merest of hearsay, but the remonstrators are putting it into the record, hoping later to get cor roboration from other sources. and thus put it up to the attorneys for the other side to present evidence later on the same subject.
 c. H. Campbell, one of the process servers for the Temperance League, remained on the stand yesterday un- til the noon adjournment of court. By that time he had gone over lists
 
 testified that some of these he could not find at the addresses; others he had heard lived out of the city: some heard, were visitors, and some of the addresses, he said, given on the petitions could not be located at all
 The attorneys for the petitioners did not delay the proceedings with objections or Interruptions rather permitting the whole of this evidence to be presented so long as Judge Mooney cared 10 indulge it. and leav. ing the subject as a whole for his consideration as to which was rele. want and which went to the purpose of removing names from the peti tions.
 At the afternoon session the sec ond process server, Leon Bradfeld was put on the stand, and he will probably remain there indefinitely unless the case takes some other | trend. He had visited more than double the number of addresses giv- en in the petitions, it was stated and, therefore. it was not believed he would get through his testimony in one or two days, though Judge Moon- ey made some changes in the matter of evidence taking later in the pro- ceedings that would facilitate the work.
 Everywhere about the streets the question was asked "When will the decision be reached?" The answer is far from being in sight if the pres sent proceedings are continued Judge Sumpter and Attorney Mcconnell have their work laid out, and they are rather of the opinion that it will take until some time late in Febru- ary for them to make the proper proof that they are prepared to make in the case.
 The attorneys for the petitioners are not making any guesses in the matter, but are following the pro ceedings closely. and hoping that as soon as possible the work will be ter minated and a decision reached,

FEDERAL LEAGUERS
 HAVE SIGNED l27
OPTIMISTIC REPORT OF PROG RESS IS ISSUED BY NEW
 LEAGUE MANAGERS.

Chicago, Jan. 24-Federal league magnates after two secret committee sessions today issued two optimistic reports-one that 127 players had been signed, S3 of them major leaguers, and the other that the con struction of all stands would be un- der way next week.
 Among the S3 big leagusrs are Hol- lie Zeider of the New York Amer jeans, who it was announced signed 8 contract last night to play with Tinker's Chicagoans and Wm. Brad ley of the Toronto International league team who signed to manage the Toronto Federals. Zeider ac- cepted the federal terms last night after Arthur Irwin, the Yankees representative. had declined to prom. ise him a $5.O00 salary and a chance at playing third base. Bradley gain. ed fame as an infelder with Cleve. land.
 Everybody concerned denied a re- port that the St, Paul American As sociation team, to be purchased by Weeghman, would be transferred to Chicago. Weeghman said he would stand by the Federal league and President Civington declared there would be no change in the associa- tion.

Big Rapids, Mich, Jan 24.-"The guilty parties should be punished" ," said Gov. Ferris at his home here to- night, after he was informed by the Associated Press of the action of the grand jury at Houghton that inves- tigated the Mover incident.
 q cannot say whether I am satis- fled with the result of the grand jury's investigation, because I don't know what evidence was laid before it," said the governor.
 The law was violated when Mover and Tanner were forcibly deported. and cannot say tonight whether the work of the grand jury in this particular matter is satisfactory to the state.
 ''If it Is necessary to go further to punish the guilty. the incident can be made the subject Of an investiga- tion in the courts, but trust the grand jury's action has been com plete"

HoUGHTON COUNTY JURY FAILS TO FIX BLAME FOR MoY.

 Der 26 and then deported him was
 identified to the satisfaction of the special grand jury and a mo true bill' was returned in the case this
 afternoon.
 Geo. E. Nichols, the special pros- ecutor decided that there was no
 law under which the men alleged to
 have forced Mover or the train could
 be punished, even if they could be identified.
 He so informed the jury. He pre- sented the names of seventeen prom inent men, all members of the Clti- zens Alliance, who were alleged to have been involved in the affair and sought their indictment on charge of assaulting Mover with intent to do him great bodily harm"
 The jury made thorough inves- tigation of the case. Twenty-seven witnesses. including Mover and Chas. H. Tanner, another Federation off eial who was deported with Mover, were examined None of them, 1t is said, was willing to swear positively as to the identity of any members of the crowd.
 T have no comment to make" said Tanner tonight, when informed of the grand juTy's action. William Da- vidson, member of the executive council of the Federation, who is in charge of the forces of the copper mine strikers, also declined to dis cuss the case.
 Other union leaders expressed no surprise that the jury had failed to return any indictments.
 Four other mo true" bills were re- ported, all being in miner cases. One felony indictment wa sreturned, but 1t will not be made public until an arrest has been made.
 The grand jury asked the court for more time within which to consider the several other cases. Judge OBrien announced that he would re- ceive final report Wednesday.
 The January term of the Houghton circuit court will begin Monday and the strikers arrested under the con- 'piracy indictment are under bond to appear at that time. Sheriff Cruse still holds warrants for Mover and he six other union leaders who are outside the state. No steps have been taken to extradite them.

HUERTA BETRAYS
 ND UNEASINESS
MEXICAN PRESIDENT SHOWS NO SIGN OF YIELDING UP THE
 GOVERNMENT.
Treasury Is Empty, but He Seems to Be Getting Along Somehow, and Is Not Worrying.

Mexico City, Jan. 24.-Presldent Huerta bertays no sign of yielding although he is cognizant of :he in. creased strength of his enemies in. triguing within the capital and those in the field. He is handicapped by inability to procure money.
 Personal and political friends and the highest officials of the Catholic church in Mexico, who have been en- deavoring by discreetly indirect methods to bring about his elimina- tion, are seemingly convinced tonight that they have failed.
 Gen. Huerta talks enthusiastically of the outlook and displays pride in the size of his army he estimates at considerably more than 100000 men. and appears to be optimistic also SIS to the final outcome of the -evolu- tion.
 No one, not even President Huerta himself, attempts to disguise the fact that the Mexican treasury is empty. In the capital the government pay rolls are being liquidated with equal promptness. but it is no secret that diplomatic representatives and con suls abroad in many cases have not been paid for weeks and taIht troops outside the capital often receive their pay long after 1t is due. Tn most cases the funds are derived from local souTces sometimes they are from forced loans, levied on in- habitants where troops are stationed.
 Extraordinary taxes have been lev fed in the capital as well as outside | points, and there are rumors that | other decrees soon are to be issued | that will exact still greater tribute | from the people.
 There is little change of import | ance since last week in the military | situation and residents of the capital | are expecting that the rebel chief | Gen. Villa. who has appeared out | side of Torreon. will reach here at | an early date. One of the disquiet- | ing developments has been the in- | creased number of rebel bands be- tween Orizaba and Vera Cruz, and | south as far as the Isthmus of Te- huantepec.
 The question as to whether there | Is some big directing force behind | this movement is giving officials et the palace moments of uneasy spec | ulation There are some who be- lieve that Gen Felix Diaz and Gen. | Mondragon, his chief lieutenant m the uprising in the capital almost a year ago, are behind this latest ris- l ing. The rebels in this region have not been called upon so far to test the strength of the federals, but it is anticipated that he coming week will see an engagement, since a consider able force of feTedals has been sent to tho Isthmus of Tehuantepec to take part in the campaign.
 The chief fear is that the rebels 1 may cut communications between | the capital and Vera Cruz They now are raiding the districts through ] which the Inter-Oceanic and Mexi. | can railways extend and neither line | Is adequately guarded.

Mover Not Surprised,

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan 24.-'I am not at all surprised" said Chas. H. Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners, when told to- night that the special grand jury at Houghton, Mich, had returned "no true bill'' after it's investigation of the alleged Kidnapping of MT. Mover from the copper strike zone.
 "The personnel of the grand jury was the best evidence to us that there would be no indictments re- turned against members of the Citi- zens' Alliance" he said.
 Mir. Mover said he did not care 10 make any further statement until he had more particulars. He is. here at- tending the convention of the United Mine Workers of America.
