ONE TRUST BILL
TO COVER ALL

Bill Introduced In Houss-senate
Measure Creating a Commits

ton bill, instead of several, as origin.
ally proposed, has been determined
upon by the Senate subcommittee on
Interstate Commerce as the policy the
administration should adopt in perfect
Tag proposed legislation to supplement
the Sherman law. This announcement
was made after the introduction in the
House Of the revised bill to create an
Interstats Trade Commission.
Although the new House bill has
the approval of President Wilson and
Attorney General McReynolds, mem,
bers of the Senate Committee on InteY.
state Commerce did not hesitate to
assert that they had completed Z
measure to create a trade commission
with broader powers, and that they
would urge the acceptance of the pril,
eiples of their bill in any legislation
to provide for trade commission.
The Senate bill, it was stated, would
empower the proposed commission TO
institute Investigations on its own
initiative as to whether corporations
operate in violation of the Sherman
act, and its champions declare that
elimination Of the initiative in the
House bill would rob the proposed
commission of effectiveness.
"A trade commission which could
undertake no investigation except by
direction Of the President, Attorney
General or either house of Congress,
as the House bill proposes, will be of
little value" said Senator Robinson.
of Arkansas, a member Of the Inter
state Commerce Committee. eff the
proposed commission is to have no
more authority than that, why have
one? The bureau of corporations as
now constituted is capable of carrying
on such investigations very we'll"
1t is considered probable that no
report on the Senate bill will be made,
because of the practical decision to
incorporate all contemplated trust leg
islation in one measure Besides pro-
viding for the trade commission, the
prevalent idea at this time in the Sen
ate committee Is to add a section to
prohibit certain forms of interlocking
directorates, and one to prohibit or
regulate holding companies Bills
originally proposed to define acts
which would constitute restraints OF
trade and destructive competition
practically have been abandoned.

A THOUSAND LIVES
LOST IN TIDAL WAVE
Two Russian Towns Swept BY
Sea of AZOV Waters.
HURRICANE WITH DISASTER.
Greater Part OF city Flooded and
Many Persons Drowned In Addi-
tion To Hundreds Who Perish
ed In the Tidal Wave.

Ekaterinodar, Russia.-Over 1000
persons perished in the inundation of
the towns of Stanitza and Achtyra-
skaja by a tidal wave from the Sea of
Azov.
The wave struck the town during a
violent hurricane, which swept the
Province of Kuban.
Over $50 persons were drowned also
in the floods Of Yasenkaja.
A dam collapsed in the town Of
Temryuk, on the Taman peninsula, 9S
miles northwest of this city, flooding
the greater part of the city and drown
ing many persons.
The sea washed away $50 build
ings in Achtyraskaja.
Temryuk is a historic town with a
population of $4,000. It once was the
seat of the Turkish Fortress Adass.
The towns of Stanitza, Achtyraskaja
and Yasenkaja do not appear on any
available maps and probably are small
places bordering on the Sea Of Azov.
The province of Kuban, in which the
stricken towns are located, is in
Southern Russia, and has coast lines
on both the Black Sea and the Sea of
Azov. The population Of the province
aggregates about 100000 persons, Of
whom two-fifths are Cossacks. The
