AE|NzE BEGINS
PROCEEDINGS
WANTS FEDERAL COURT TO DE.
CLARE THE OHIO COPPER
COMPANY INsoLvENT.
SCHEME TO RUIN HIS INTERESTS

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Augustus
Heinze began proceedings in federal
court here today to have declared sol
vent the Ohio Copper Mining company,
which has mines and offices in Utah
and offices here.
HeinZe declares he owns more than
81 100000 worth of the company's out
standing bond issues and stock and
hat the bankruptcy proceedings, in
which the company became involved,
were part of a collusive plan to ruin
his interests.
These and other allegations are set
forth in an affidavit submitted through
his attorneys to United States Judge
Mayer, who signed an order requesting
the company and several of it's credit
ors to show cause on October 13, why
the adjudication of the corporation as
bankrupt should not be set aside.
The corporation is solvent, accord
ing to three creditors, who supported
Heinze in his action today-the r. J.
Glendenning company of Salt Lake
City; the Stewart Mining company, a
subsidiary of the Ohio Copper Mining
company, and John l.. Williams of this
city.
Three creditors and Heinze declare
that the federal court here is without
jurisdiction inasmuch as the company's
principal offices are in Utah.
Judge Mayors order acted as a stay
to meeting of the creditors, which
was to have been held here today at
which trustee was to have been ap-
pointed.
simultaneously with these proceed
ings Edwin Gould's suit to recover
from Heinze proceeds of notes aggre-
eating $1,000,000 given in payment for
stock of the Mercantile National bank
of this city, was on trial in the state
supreme court where it will be con-
inued omorrow.

TRADE COMMISSION
BILL Is CONSIDERED
Senate Committee Probably Will Re.
port Measure This Week. with
Few Changes.

The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce had another meeting yester-
day on the bill creating an interstate
trade commission. The bill probably will
be reported to the Senate this week
without material modification. The other
trust bills probably will be considered In
the committee for some time.
Most of the time yesterday was de-
voted to the consideration of three
amendments proposed by Senator Cum
minis. OF Iowa. One of these proposed
to bestow on the new trade commission
the power to reduce the size of an inter-
state corporation when 1t had acquired
proportions that were a menace to COM
petitive conditions. Another amendment
gave the commission power over the cap
italization of corporations engaged in
interstate commerce. with the right to
reduce swollen capitalization. The third
amendment authorized the trade COM
mission to make regulations to prevent
unfair competition in trade and to pre-
vent price cutting.
1t was the sentiment Of the commit
tee that all of these amendments had
merit. but that they should not be put
on the trades commission bill or en-
cumber II. and they may be considered
and reported later as independent meas
ures.

ONE VIOLATION OF EXCISE LAW

been reached by the subcommittee
which Investigated the alleged viola
tions Of the excise law the night OF
the last Georgetown-Virginia football
game. Tho report probably will be
signed and submitted to the full Dis
trict Committee early this week.
The report does not recommend the
revocation OF the license OF the Eb-
bitt House. nor does II suggest any
drastic remedial action. II contains
no legislative recommendation at all.
One violation OF the excise law Is
reported as established by the inquiry
conducted by the committee. This vio-
lation Is in the case of a young boy
who. according to the defense. was
framed by officers of the Anti-Saloon
League to bring about the violation.
The report does not comment upon
the circumstances of this case. No
cognizance is taken in the report OF
testimony touching upon the class or
condition of patrons of the hotel.
The committee finds that the hi
larity which followed the Georgetown
victory was of a pretty rough order
at times. but does not comment caus-
ticalIy upon this. The first report the
was asked to sign. prepared
by Chairman Caraway. called for the
revocation OF the Ebbitt House bar
