WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.--Presideni
Wilson will continue work on his pro-
gram for antitrust legislation soup
after he returns from Pass Christian
Miss. tomorrow. The president Will
arrive here on his private car at

Cabinet members have been inform
ed by White House officials that the
president expects to meet them 10,
the regular Tuesday session.
In the presidents absence a sum-
mary OF all pending antitrust bills
has been prepared for him by Assist
ant Attorney General Todd. 1t is un-
derstood that conservation Will be the
outstanding characteristics of the
presidents antitrust message. 1t is
expected that the same will be true
of the recommendation which the at
torney general will make, at least AS
far as changes in the sherman anti
trust law are concerned.
Scope Undetermined.
Until the president has had oppor-
tunity to confer with his cabinet and
leaders in congress. the scope OF the
antitrust message will not be fully
determined
Until President Wilson speaks out
on the subject the antitrust program
will not be framed in congress. Some
Democrats oppose action, while Others
advocate a conservative course. The
radical position Is outlined in a state
ment made public tonight by Repre-
sentative Smith. OF Texas, a Demo

ment is being made that anti-Arust

In last Sundays game an error was
given to Griffin on his throw to first
to Shuttleworth to catch Jack Bergfn
on his hit towards second. At the
angle at which the scorer was sitting
it appeared that SmiIum had made a
wide throw, but upon taking the
question up with the umpire and
other officials it appears that the
throw was perfect. Shuttleworth fail
ing to touch the bag. This error,
therefore, has been taken off Smiluin's
record and charged to Big Louie for
failure tc touch first on the throw.
