Many Conferences


 It was pointed out tonight that President Wilson, in his trust message. sought merely to suggest to Congress evils of big business which needed reg ulation. Since then he has had many conferences with members of the House and Senate committees which from time to time have submitted tentative trust lregulation bills
 Sometime ago subcommittee of the Senate interstate commerce commit tee was appointed to incorporate into one measure all features of the Vari- ous bills contemplated. Since that com mittee has been at work, many stumb- ling blocks have been encountered as to how far Congress should go in en- acting legislation supplementary to the Sherman act; just what would strengthen the provisions of that act and just what might weaken il.
 After many conferences of demo- cratic and republican senators, who in turn have conferred with members of | the House interstate commerce and ju- dietary committees, tentative amend : ment to the Senate bill to create an interstate trade commission has been | drawn, designed to take the place of proposed bills to prohibit or regulate | interlocking directorates. holding com panies, stock watering; to provide for government regulation of the issuance | or railroad SecufllleS anu to soiNt inc problem of destructive price dscrim- ination.
 It would provide that all these prob | lens be referred to the proposed inter- state trade commission, directing an eX- | haustive study of the subject for the in | formation of Congress.

M. Va White House officials declined to comment on the reports.
 Senator Joseph T.

There are some radical differences, said Senator Robinson. between the trade some part in the preparation of this bill, | commission bill soon to be reported by the House committee on interstate and Tor | eign commerce, and that which the Senate | committee has tentatively agreed on.

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, April 11.-Although press dispatches and of ficial messages describing incidents at
 Tampico, in connection with the arrest
 of American marines were before Pres
 ident Wilson tonight, he divulged no
 information.
 After playing golf in the forenoon
 and taking. a blackboard ride in the aft ernoon, the President secluded himself in his suite of rooms with his family
 and no one saw him.
 At first the President showed dis inclination even to receive any news about the Mexican situation, sending word that he came here to break out of business. seeking rest and did not
 care to discuss official business Later press dispatches were shown him saying Admiral Mayo's complete re - port of the incidents at Tampico had been forwarded here to determine if the United States was satisfied with the
 Huerta apology, and informing him that salute to the flag had been de- handed
 Makes No Comment The President received the news without comment.
 While the President held aloof from | everybody spending his time with Mrs. Wilson. who is improving rapidly, Secretary McAdoo and Miss Eleanor Wilson. future White House bride and bridegroom, played several sets of ten his with.

Doubt Expressed

Some doubt was expressed as to wheth- CT the salute could he demanded for what
 was termed an irresponsible act' by Il subordinate officer. especially In view of
 the prompt apology from Huerta. One official. an authority on naval precedents, go i'd he knew of no instance in which 8
 salute had been given the American col ors in like circumstances
 This officer. delving into archives for a precedent, found nothing more closely
 resembling the Tampico case than Civil war incident in which a British man-of- war enforced a salute from Confederate shore battery and then declined to re- turn the courtesy for fear such action would be construed recognition of the confederacy. Other Mexican reports were neagre.
 There was nothing definite concerning the Torreor situation. Secretary Bryan said he felt the outlook for the safety of foreign oil properties at Tampico was |

 Every possible Argument that can

 In addition 10 the general opposi- tion to absolute repeal, there will be arguments by democratic senators who agree that exemption for American

 hope the means of bringing this result about can be tempered with an amend

The 1 ella atises is identical with one in a pre- viousIy negotiated. but never enforced. ltreaty with Colombia which Great Brit 1 ain approved. The argument will be
 made if Great Britain conceded the

 When captain Kolb stood before the Henderson mass meeting today and de- clared his allegiance to Charles Hen derson for governor his words were greeted with storms of applause
 Captain Kolb, in words that expressed intense feeling, declared his deep ap- preciation to his loyal and abiding friends throughout the state who had stood by him in his fight for the gover- ship.
 II have reserved the thing that is upoermost in my mind and nearest te my heart to say last said Captain kolh.
 ..It is the message of love and grat- ituae to my loyal, abiding friends throughout the state. who have stood by me in this fight with a fidelity that oyerwhelms me with feelings of emo tion."
 Captain Kolb's statement is as fol lows:
 From the reported returns of the vote in the primary Monday 1t appears that I have failed in receiving suffl- cient number of votes to entitie%me tc enter the second primary.
 From my view of the conditions prevailing throughout the campaign ur to it's very close. a very different re-

 aIt. however, is a disappointment thai shall present to my mind no predicate for the saying of hard and bitter things, regardless of what my con yiction may be as to the contributing causes to my defeat. There would bs nothing of substantial interest to tho people served by attempting an analysls of these causes, nor could my inter pretation of them prove Of any cohcerr to the matters involved in an unfin- ished political conflict.

Leaders Agree Practical SO- luti0n of Problem Has
 Been Suggested
PLAN TO CREATE A
 TRADE COMMISSION
Commission After Investigation Would Recommend to Next Congress Legislation Deemed Advis-
 able-Wilson Approves

Washington, April 11.-Antitrust leg islation supplementary to the sherman act probably will not be undertaken at this session of Congress on the broad scale originally outlined by the administration. This became known here tonight democratic Senate and House leaders agreeing that practi- cal solution of the vexatious problem to cope with evils of big business through legislation had been suggest ed.
 The plan. it was asserted, is to pass one bill which would create an inter- state trade commission with broad powers to investigate affairs of cor porations and with specific authoriza- ton to inquire into the relation to commerce of interlocking directorates, holding companies, stock watering the issuance of railroad securities and price determinations which tend to destroy competition. The commission would recommend to the next Congress what further trust regulative legislation it deemed advisable for the welfare of the country.
 Such continuation of antitrust leg islative programme originally suggest ed by President Wilson in a special message to Congress has been working out in conferences between the Pres ident and Senate and House leaders for many weeks. The task tentatively out lined in bills proposed assumed propor- tions that precluoed it's accomplish- ment, leaders believed. in view of other legislative problems confronting Con gress and also because of the many conflicting opinions of men in the coun- cils of the dominant party as to just what should be done.

 Statement Frank

Officials at the state and navy depart nients considered Huerta's s statement full and frank. It promised an immediate investigation of Colonel Hinojosa's action in arresting the marines and parading
 them publicly through 'he streets, and the official statement issued by the state department added that General Huerta
 had promised that If the investigation should develop greater responsibility on the part of Colonel Hinoiosa, the penalty applicable to the case will be imposed by the competent legal authorities.
 General Huerta's good faith was ae- cepted, apparently without reservation, and it was pointed oth. that it was but fair to await the resuls or the promised investigation and disc.pnne of the Mex ican officer responsible for the humilia- ton of the American navy. The navy
 department, 1t was said, has issued no instruction to Rear Admiral Mayo direct ine either the withdrawal or enforcement of his demand for a salute. Onicia k here are disposed to rely on that officer g discretion and are ceifain he has been informed of the unqualified terms of Gen eral Huerta's explanation.
