EDMUNDS OPPOSES
SHERMAN LAW CHANGES
Former Vermont Senator Says ''Epi-
demic OF Notions Prevails
in This Country.

BAY HEAD, n. J., June 1S.-Ex-
Senator George F. Edmunds of Yer
mont. under whose charge as chairman
Of the United States Senate judiciary
committee Of 1890 the So-ealled Sherman
antitrust law of that year was en-
acted, expressed frankly his views of
the pending supplementary antitrust
legislation He avCwed strong dis
approval Of the attempts to insert new
applications and exemption into the
law.
Mr. Edmunds, despite his Sc years,
is as keen as in his senatorial career,
which ended % years ago.
:" The old law Mr.. Edmunds said,
- does not require a particle of change.
No phase of business is outside its
reach if we want to have equal rights.
MI that you hear about Legislation be-
ing necessary is n fuss over details,
s,hich the courts are already able to de
eide, and have decided
S'The seventh section Of this act (thc
labor amendment is evidently intend
ed to exempt the classes named from
the prohibition of the act of 1890,
against conspiracies in restraint of in
terstate trade, and conspiracies to ere
ate monopolies, and to authorize the
particular classes named to violate the
provisions of that act. II these opera
tions are not in restraint of trade, they
eed no special protection. II they are.
why chould they be permitted when all
other classes of the community are
subject to the equal law? Equality of
right before the Law is the fundamen-
tai principle and the very foundation
stone of Republican and Democratic
government.
''This question was fully considered
and deliberated on when the act of
$50 was under consideration and upon
| passage
Mr.. Edwards explained emphatically
that he is not by any means an enemy
| Of labor or an advocate of any "aris-
/ tocracy of capital. But he is I'M
swerving in his belief that only in
equal rights for all can constitutional
government prevail.
Opposes Trade Commission Bill.
Regarding the proposed interstate
trade commission bill, the ex-senator
said:
cit will merely upset things. The
present plan proposes To jump the pow
er of the secretary of commerce into
a commission. As framed, the inter
state trade commerce bill would give
a tremendous power Of tyranny which
i could easily employ itself in greed ant
corruption. 1t would concentrate pow
er really in the President, who would
have the power to control the whole
business. The proposed commission
would prove meddlesome, adding moth
ing to the merit possessed by the oldel
bureau of corporations.

San Francisco, Jan. 17.-Miss Tessie
Wise. al attractive manicurist of 20
summers. is under arrest here on a
charge CT attemptin to defraud the
First National Bank of this city.
Elmer Spencer, ball player and UNI
pire. has also been arraigned on the
same charge.
The plot, which private detectives
declare Miss Wise has laid bare by
confession, is a most extraordinary
one. Beginning in the barber shop
/ at Turk street, where Spencer
spent his winter vacation in cutting
hair. the plan is said to have in
volved forgery. masquerade and other
peculiar features.
TIL prize, say the detectives, was
the bank account of Mrs. Florence
Anderson Spencer wife of the hero
of diamond. Miss Wise is said
to possess so strong a resemblance
to Mrs. Spencer as to be practically
her double. The Spencers had been
married since September.
At the barber shop, the detectives de-
clare. between customers Spencer used
his time in prevailing upon Miss Wise
the manicurist, to aid him in his plan
Detectives say that the girl confessed
to having gone with Spencer to San
Jose on December Is, and that there
Spencer instructed her to initiate his
wife's mannerisms and to tell cor
rectly the story # his wife's life.
The next step in the plot was when
the First National bank of this city
received a wire, signed Mrs. Flor
ence -nderson," reading: Instruct
First National bank of San Jose to
honor my check for $1,000 and waive
Identification
Assistant Cashier Bryant, the de-
tectives continue, was on duty at the |
San Jose bank when a woman ex-
actly fitting the d, scription of Mrs. |
called and pre- !
scented passbook and a check for
81 900. Bryant had not received the |
notification from San Francisco, and |
was suspicious, but so perfectly did |
the woman fit the tests that he in.
structed her to return later Mean
time, the cashier secured Mrs. Ander-
sons description and the code ques-
tons from San Francisco. and when I
the woman returned she fitted the tests
perfectly.
Still Bryant was suspicious and only
gave her 5000. The detectives say
she returned with this TO San Francisco;
that Spencer gave her $40 and with
the rest departed for Stockton, where
he was arrested
The girl at first was inclined to
talk freely, but later became silent,
and now refuses TO make any state
ment.- The bank cashier declared, on
seeing the real Mrs. Spencer, that the
resemblance was complete even %
gold tooth, a southern accent and a
of curling back ths lips
