TRUST PROGRAM is OPPOSED
Legislation May Be Delayed by Con.
fiict Between Two Houses Of
Congress.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Determina-
ton yesterday of the house interstate
and foreign commerce committee to
disregard the Interstate Trade Com
mission bill pending in both branches
of congress and to frame an entirely
new measure, may result in further
complications in the administration
antitrust legislative program.
Thus far the senate and house in
terstate commerce committees have
not been cooperating in consideration
of the trade commission proposal,
the senate committee having under
consideration for amendment the orig
nal Trade Commission bill drafted
by the house judiciary subcommittee.
President Wilson may be appealed
to in the interest of harmony and ex-
peditious action, The President Is
said to believe that the country ex-
poets and is awaiting early action on
trust regulation, and to feel that all
differences relating to the powers Of
the proposed trade commission can
be adjusted without friction.

ACCUSED OF MOOASAINIA6
Brister Under Arrest al
LeayenWOrth for Making
and Selling Booze"

Le%avenworth, Kas., Feb. 18.-Num-
rou requests on the part Of veterans
in the National Solditrs' Home here
to be transferred to Company NJ
aroused the suspicious of Capt. Chas.
knox, in charge of the barracks. Upon
investigation he found that James
Brister, a member of the company,
had established a "moonshine still'
in the basement. With the aid Of
drugs and powders he was making
squirrel" whisky.
Brister was arrested and taken bS
fore Governor Cooke. The governor
probably will hand him over to the
county authorities for prosecution. II
the veteran does not pay a govern,
ment tax, he also will be prosecuted
by the United States authorities.
Further investigation today revealed
the fact that several veterans had
been sent to the home hospital to re-
cover from the effects Of imbibing
too freely Of Brister's whisky. Some
Of the old men are in = dangerous con-
dition, according to their friends.

pened. All the injured were brought

TO USE CLUBS ON SLAVERS
With Successful Fight Waged Against
Gangsters, Officials Believe Cadets
Can Be Driven Out.

New York, Feb. 17.-Facing the
startling fact that no fewer than 961
New Workers have disappeared in
three months, 397 Of them being girls
and women, and that only 1870 OF them
have been found by the police, the
head Of the police department has or
dered the police to divert their at
tention for a time from the ~gangsters
and gunner to the cadets and white
slayers.
With eight young girls Of good fam
lily on the missing list at one time,
the police awoke to the un~deniable
fact that white slavery with all its
horrors is a real institution in New
York.
The police, therefore. have under
taken a campaign Of vigorous rough
handling against the white slaversr
similar to the wal they recently waged
against the gangsters Of the East Side.

MRS. BOND WEEPS
As AWYFR Talks
Evidence All In, the Attorneys
Begin Marathon of High
OratOry.
GORE GETS MANY TELEGRAMS
Nine Jurors May Fix Mrs. Bonds
Damage at From One Cent to
$4,000; Judge Clark Gives
Rules About Testimony.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 1S.-With tears
streaming from her eyes, Mrs. Minnie
z. Bond sat in the District courtroom
and heard Everett j. Gliding, her
counsel, plead with a jury of youths
to return her a verdict in her $50. 900
damage suit against Senator Gore.
While closing arguments we're in
progress scores Of kilograms were de-
lvered to Senator Gore in the court
room. They came from friends
throughout the country, expressing
sympathy and rendering aid.
Under the charge to the jury Of
Judge Clark, nine jurors may return
a verdict for Senator Gore or fix Mrs.
Bonds damages at from one cent to
$4,000.
The plaintiffs counsel decided that
they would not put on any more wit
nesses in rebuttal and so the testl-
mOny ended with Mondays session.
Judge Clark outlined the allegations
OF Mrs. Bond that Senator Gore had
tried by force to attack her and that
he was only prevented by her resist
ance and that as a result she had
suffered degradation, contempt and
ridicule; that her life had been blight
ed. He outlined the contention OF
Senator Gore that it was conspiracy
to force him to indorse appointments
TO Office or destroy his political fu-
ture and defeat him for election. The
Judge instructed the jury that the
burden was upon Mrs. Bond to prove
by a preponderance of evidence that
an assault was attempted.
Testimony Of her bad character
must be considered by the jury in
making up its verdict, as well as tes-
timony Of her good character" he
said.
The opening argument was made by
E. j. Giddings, attorney for Mrs
Bond it would brand her as a strumpet
six hours on a side for argument,
twelve hours of oratory.
Giddings made a eulogy on woman
the love light in her eyes, and the
goddess of the home, during which
Mrs. Bond removed her glasses anC
pressed her handkerchief to her eyes
as she sat facing the jury.
He closed by asking for justice. He
said if the verdict was against Mrs
Bond it would brand her as a strumpit
and outcast, and Mrs. Bond sobbed
aloud.
