The nominees name is to be sent te

A fight for the inspectorship began
when charges filed against dorsey

tiles, and which were vigorously
prosecuted by Congressman Mcclellan,
were sustained by the Department al
Washington. James M. Thompson
and c. E. Patton, of Memphis; George
NJ. Green, of Nashville, and Captain
Matt Downs, of Pine Bluff, Ark, then

PRISON TERN FOR MEN WHO
VIOLATE RULES OF FED.
ERAL COMMISSION
Commercial Crime Is An Effect Not
Cause, Argues Boston
LAWYER.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Louis D.
Brandes, of Boston, advocated before
the House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee today the inn
position of Jail or prison terms AID
heavy fines for officers and directors
of corporations who fail to follow
orders of the proposed federal trade
commission.
Chairman Adamson said he wanted
to hold heads of corporations per-
sonally liable for any offelse of the
corporation.
"Juries will not convict" objected
Mr. Brandeis, unless there is a
moral faint involved in the offense.
In enforcing the the antitrust law
we have never been able to put any
one in Jail because the juries re-
spond to public sentiment against put
ting man in Jail unless some moral
liability is shown.
Explaining difficulties of the gov
eminent in dealing with railroad
violaters of the law Mr.. Brandeis
said:
1--WE have found we should make it
cheaper for railroads under penalties
of fines, to obey the law than to
violate it. am in favor of individual
but we should rather devote our eff
forts toward preventing abuses.
Commercial crime is an effect and
not a cause. We should prevent con
ditions that lead to- crime and resort
to the criminal courts as little as pos
sible."
MIR. Brandeis suggested many
changes in the wording Of the trade
commission bill to strengthen and
clarity it.

SOME Big fights
Rebels to Move on Torreon
Within Week is Pre-
diction.
HUERTA TO BE QUIET.
Dictator Will Not Take the Field
Expects to Secure Arms Himself
From Great Powers.

Washington, Feb. 4.-"Torreon
within the week." is the slogan of the
rebel army in Mexico under General
Villa, according 10 advices received
at Constitutionalist headquarters
here today.
Captain Sherry Hopkins, Constitu-
ti0nalist agent in Washington, said
that Villa is awaiting the arrival of a
shipment of rapid-fire cannons and
about So 900 rounds of small ammuni-
| ton.
Advices received here from special
agents in Mexico City ar to the eff
feet that Huerta has no intention of
leaving the capital to take the field
General Bliss, in command of the
army on the Mexican border, was
photographed today by Secretary of
War Garrison the important details
of the Presidents proclamation, lift
ing the embargo on arms and ammu-
milton of war destined to Mexican
sources.
The question of reducing the force
on the border has been left to the
discretion of General Bliss, but the
army sentiment is that as the troops
were seat there primarily for inter-
withdrawn.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels will
not make any change in the great
concentration of ships and marines
in Mexican waters. The army and
navy officials here regard the lift
ing of the embargo as a mistake, bu,
will only discuss tae subject pri-
vately. They say it is evident that
in case of Intervention Huerta's
forces will be we'll equipped with
arms by foreign nations and that
rebels regularly enrolled and every
bandit and male Mexican will be
found with "a first class gun in his
hand of American make.
Secretary Bryan, however, said to-
day that he approved of the procla-
nation lifting the embargo, but de-
clined to make any prophesy as tc
the cessation of hostilities in Mexico
So far as the State Department dis
closes, there will be no change OF
policy regarding the thousands OF
federals and rebels now held at Fort
Bliss and in California as refugees

border and elsewhere were today Of

America Has Hard Problem.

With John Paul Jones graduated and retired from the cinder path it would be hard to select a team of 1nilers from among all the colleges of the United States whose records would warrant their being even favorites against this marvellous quartet now martriculater at Oxford. If any col lege or university in the United States has at this time four runners ready to test the Oxford team to the limit the average college trainer is unaware of the existence of the team. Yet these are the conditions which must be complied with at the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival. Unless Cornell Pennsylvania or Michigan the home of long distance college runners can develop a sensational four for this international contest. the odds will be long on Oxford late in April Even the best American records for similar racing exceed 17.30.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TRADERS CAUTIOUS.
Volume of Business Not Large for
 Various Reasons.

New York, Jan. 1.-The advance in the stock market was resumed today. A majority of the speculative shares overcame the effect of the reaction late last week and established new high prices for the upward movement. Gains in many instances ran from one to two points, although profit taking in the final hour cut into the advance.
 Traders moved cautiously and the volume of business was not large. It was felt that professional buying had been overdone recently, and that the slight setback which the market re- cefved was due to that cause Op- orators, on the long side. in conse- quence, moved slowly today, and this tendency was emphasized by the fact outside buying of investment stocks, which supported the market last week, played only 8 small part in the days transactions. Added restraint was i'm posed by the disinclination of traders to take on new lines on the day be- fore delivery of President Wilson's message to congress on trust questions, which Is expected to be of large influ- ence upon sentiment in the financial world.
 Reading was the conspicuous excep- ton to the days movement It was consistently under pressure and it's backwardness was drag on the gen. eral market. The coppers were strong. being influenced by increasing activity In the metal markets here and abroad Steel shares also were in good demand London buying of steel and the cop pers assisted the upturn in these shares. In other quarters of the mar ket. however, London sold stocks
 Although demand for the high grade investment stocks fell off, the bond market preserved . strong tone Traders referred to the continued ab- sorption of bonds at rising prices as one of the best iudica lions of imnrove ment in the general situation Offer ings this week of the New York state issue of 1-2 per cent. bonds will af- ford 8 clear test of the investment sit uation, with all indications now point ing to 8 successful outcome Total sales par value, 52,soo.0oO
