ANTITRUST BILL TO
ADD $4,000, TAX
Chicagoans Protest Provision Re-
curing Corporations to Make
Annual Reports.

WASHINGTON. May 9.-One provision OF
.he administration antitrust bill threat
ens TO put an indirect tax on the Ameri-
can neople of $4,000 900 a year, according
IN statement made to-day before the
senate Interstate Commerce Committee
nv II W. Shaw, editor OF business mag
azine.
Mr.. Shaw, representing the Chicago AS
ISOLATION OF Commerce, said That IN MS
opinion the provisions requiring annual
REPORTS from corporations engaged IN
interstate commerce would entail an an
nual expense of this amount. and he was
Inclined TO believe that ultimately IT would
be borne by the consumer. Senator Lip
nitt. a member of the committee, said that
he considered Mr.. Shaw's estimate far too
low.
The committee heard other representa-
tiyes Of the Chicago association and re-
ceived bill drafted by the association
as a substitute for the Senate measure
II will hear protests from railroad men
Monday and Tuesday. and may finish
its deliberations late next week.
]. f. Bennett who said he represented
several small concerns. protested against
the power granted the trade commission
10 examine the books OF corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce. He de-
oiared he believed it unconstitutional. He
said the provision aimed at interlocking
iirectorates would lead TO the use OF
dummy directors in many corporations
and would work a hardship on small
concerns.

"Outrageous," Says Whitman.

District Attorney Whitman was much
incensed at the action OF, THE Globe"
He characterized ii as outrageous"
and a violation of good faith.' He
said he had merely followed the custom
Of years in the District Attorneys Of
fee in giving out an opening address
to the papers in advance, subject, Of
course, TO release when 1t was de-
livered. In the interests Of justice, he
declared, the violation Of such a re-
lease should be vigorously prosecuted
He said he didn't see how 1t could in
terfere with the progress Of the trial,
and that he would vigorously oppose
any motions by the defence which
looked toward a delay.
The District Attorney went into con-
ference with Justice Seabury, In the
latter's chambers, at the adjournment
Of court. Following the conference JUS
tice Seabury sent for the newspaper
men and told them that he had in
structed the District Attorney to insti-
tute contempt proceedings against the
editor Of THE Globe" for the publica-
ton of the article. Assistant District
Attorney tombstone was assigned to the
case by Mr.. Whitman. Mr.. tombstone
drew up the necessary citations and
Justice Seabury signed them in his
chambers in the Emigrant Savings
Bank Building later in the afternoon.
The processes were made returnable
before him at ; p. m. tomorrow in the
Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court,
where the Becker trial is being held.
The citations called upon Henry J.
Wright, editor; George 7. Hughes. city
editor, and Charles T. Brodhead. re-
porter, to appear and show cause why
they sould not be adjudged in con-
tempt.
The court has summary power 10
fine each defendant 500 and commit
him TO jail for thirty days If adjudged
In contempt. II the court considers
the contempt a particularly serious
one the case can be presented TO the
grand jury, and in the event of in
dictments being found the defendants
would be liable to a fine OF $500 and
Imprisonment for one year, or both.
Mr.. Wright appeared at Justice Sea-
burys chambers in the Criminal Courts
Building shortly after court adjourned.
He came. he said, TO make personal
apology to the judge. and ne afterward
saw Mr.. Whitman for the same pur-
pose. He declared he felt very much
mortified at the occurrence. In ex-
planning how IL happened. he said:
Il did not know when Mr.. Whit
mans address appeared in our early
edition that 1t had not been properly
released. Our city editor told me that
our reporters at the trial informed
him that Justice Seabury, District At
torney Whitman and Becker's counsel
had told them there would be no
change In the jury and that Mr.. Whit
man would proceed at the opening Of
court with his address to the jury.
