When Nudge finally finished going up
toward the ceiling the Frenchman ex-

Our LONGEST River.

Our longest river is the Mississippi.
There is no other stream within our
borders that can stand moments
comparison with the ''Father Of Wa
ters." To be sure there are some who
claim that the really great river is the
Missouri, that that stream is the main
one, of which the Mississippi Is only
tributary But the claim is without
foundation. The Missouri. from Its
source in the northwestern Rockies to
its junction with the Mississippi at st.
Louis, is a distinct stream from the
one into which it empties near that
point. 1t is quite true that from the
headwaters of the Missouri to the gulf
the distance is greater than it is from
the headwaters of the Mississippi to
the gulf. but in the one case it is two
streams. in the other only one.-New
York American.

asked in a suit filed in the supreme
court here.
The action is brought by Whipple,
Sears & Ogden, representing minority
stockholders of the company.
The suit, in which the attorneys re-
Gently demanded taht the directors
join, is designed to force restitution
from those responsible, of funds al
legged to have been illegally expended
in building up the New Haven sys-
TEN.
Judge Brady issued an order of no.
tice, returnable on Friday of next
week, to show cause why receiver
should not be appointed and why an
injunction against the disposition of
the defendants stocks should not be
issued.
The defendants, who include various
New Haven directors since 1903 and
estates of deceased directors, are:
William Rockefeller, Charles NJ. Pratt,
Lewis Cass Ledyard, H. Nick. Twom-
bly,, George Nice. Miller, George j.

as having been directors since 1909,
| but as to whether their failure to
| cause the road to institute rest1tu-
| ton suit has made them liable on ac-
count of negligence and violation OF
| fiduciary duty, the plaintiffs state that
they are not advised and make no
| specific averment.
The litigation is in the form of an
equity action entered by the attorneys
| as trustees under the will of Ole Bull
| Vaughn, the violinist. They own fifty
| shares of New Haven stock and bring
| the action Gin behalf of themselves
and all other stockholders of said cor

The bill of complaint declares that

VIII. SON TRUST
BILLS FLAYED
Senator Fears Worst if BusL
ness is Dishonest.
HE CALLS ACTION UNJUST
Works Declares If Trade Is Oppressive
Enough to Justify Such Legislation
Conditions Are Hopeless.

Washington, July IS. = Senator
Works, of California, Republican, fay
ed the administrations antitrust pro-
gram on the floor of the senate. he
declared it filled him with amaze
ment.
az the business of the country is
dishonest enough and oppressive
enough to justify such legislation as
is proposed by the three bills, our
condition would seem to be hopeless
and to remedy conditions by law i'm
possible" said he.
"To attempt it would work no prac.
teal good and add to the burdens of
the people who deal with the business
concerns sought to be regulated. Such
legislation as this is more than likely
to be as futile as it is unjust"
Senator Works also attacked the
exemptions in favor of labor organi.
cations.
The senate committee made some
progress On the Clayton bill, the
measure to regulate securities of com.
mon carriers and the trade commits
sion bill.
While the interstate trade commits.
sion bill was under discussion again in
the senate, the interstate commerce
committee had it under advisement
and practically agreed to amend the
section which would make unlawful
unfair competition"
Much criticism, even within the
party, has been made of the vague
ness of this section, the claim be-
ing advanced that it is too general in
it's terms and that it would result in
endless court action for interpreta.
ton.
The amendment proposed, and &C.
cording to Senator Newlands, chair
man, practically agreed upon in com.
mittee, would authorize the proposed
trade commission to determine what
constitutes unfair competition" and
to order it stopped when determined.
In each case there would be a full
court review as to the facts and the
law.
The question whether the interstate
commerce commission should be en-
powered to determine to what use the
funds realized by carriers from issues
of securities had been used still is I'M
determined 1t will be several days be.

The judiciary committee in its con.
