the methods by which American marines

The treaty has to do with the acquisi-

Der OF Central Americans, partly ON the

Meantime new backgrounds had been
opened. Electric lighting was in its in

Gaulard. two engineers who had recently
obtained patents on the alternating cur

was far cheaper than the direct current
system then in use. which was much too
costly for general Introduction as a means
of lighting. He bought the Gibbs eau
lard patents. On his return to the United
States a corporation known as the West

wealth that the airbrake had brought

The Fight of His Life.
Electrical industry then was small in
this country, but 1t was headed by Thorn

powerful financiers. These men never
had been known to give up anything with
out a fight and the opposition to West
inghouse and the new system cropped out
everywhere-in state legislatures, in mu-
nicipal council chambers-even in Con-
gress and the courts.
But he met his adversaries at every
turn. and contracts kept coming in.

was exacted from the President of Mica
ragua that the right to build a canal
through his country would be granted to
the United States for 100000
In this letter it is explained that since
no such agreement was ever confirmed
Nicaragua was then ready to sell the
proposed canal zone for Sc, 900, 900. with
the restitution of revenues which the
Nicaraguan government formerly en-
joyed.

Terms to Define Differences.

Terms will be found by the congress
sional committee, the President thinks, to
define the differences in the processes Of
the two kinds of companies SO that bust
ness which is actually administered as
unit would not be considered a holding
company in the same sense as corpora
tons whose stocks were held for voting
purposes and not for administrative pur-
poses.
Attention also is being given at the
White House to the proposal to wipe out
identity of interest in corporations
through interlockins stock ownership. The
President admitted today that In his
trust message to Congress he had re-
ferred to this In the interrogatory from

before Congress without expressing any
opinion as to its merits. He had not de-
cided, he told callers. just how evils Of

SEEKS SUBSTITUTE
FOR TRUST MEASURE.
President at Work on Specific
Bill to Prohibit Hold
ing Companies.

President Wilson has indicated to some
of his callers that what is known as the
trade relations bill. one of the trust group
that defines monopoly. may be abandoned
and in its place substituted a bill de-
bility for specific acts intended to re-
strain trade and establish monopoly.
The President is determined not to i'm
pair the efficiency of the Sherman law by
additional legislation that might inter-
fere with interpretations already made by
the courts.
Studying Draft, of Bill.
Mr.. Wilson is studying the draft of a
bill to prohibit holding companies but
has not reached mature judgment about
IT. He asserts, though that this feature
of trust legislation will not be abandoned
despite the fact that it presents great
difficulty in finding language in which to
draw distinctions between legitimate and
illegitimate concerns
The President believes that companies
formed to control a group Of corporations
are materially different from what he
terms owning corporations" necessi-
tated by the variety of laws in the
states of the Union He cited as an in
stance the fact that if a corporation in
New jersey chose to build factory in
Pennsylvania it would have to be rein
corporated. because no foreign corpora
ton could own real estate under the laws
OF Pennsylvania. This duplication of
companies, he explained, might have the
same directors and apparently would
constitute a holding company, but there
was no intention on the part of the fed
eral government to interfere with such
