SENATE PASSES
 ONE TRUST BILL First of Series of Trust Laws Advo. cated By Administration Pass
 es the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The first of the trust bills advocated by Pres ident Wilson and the administration have been passed by the Senate. The bill provides for a trade commission similar to that of the Interstate Commerce Commission to inquire in- to and regulate the big trusts and pre- vent the exorbitant prices charged by the trusts and to prevent the big interests from securing a monopoly by driving out small competitors by rate cutting.
 The remaining bills regulating trusts are expected to pass this week, as the Republicans have withdrawn their opposition and will not aid the Democrats who are fighting the ad- ministration.

JAIL GIRL WHO
STOLE TO KEEP
MOTHER ALIVE
The Latter, Who Is Bedridden, Required
Delicacies That Were Beyond
Reach of Daughters
Purse.

New York, July 9.--In North Hacken'
sack, N. j., is an s0-yearold woman,
bedf fast, the victim of paralytic
stroke, ignorant that her daughter, who
has shaved for years that she might be
made comfortable, is locked in a cell in
the Tombs as a thief.
Catherine Van Houten, tall, thin, al.
most emaciated, and dressed only in the
cheapest clothing, is the daughter. She
worked for a cloak and suit manufac-
turer, receiving $l3 week, and from
this meagre pay endeavored to purchase
the food and delicacies physicians said
her mother must have if she was to be
kept alive. She found it was impossible,
no matter how much she denied herself
Then she began to falsify the pay rolls
Of her employer, until now it is charged
she took $4,000 during the last two
years.
81 knew it was wrong, but knew my
mother would die if / didn't do it,"
sobbed Miss Van Houten in her cell yes
terday. 81 had no choice and | would
10 it again, but now it is all wasted.
Mother will die now. She will never get
over my arrest and then there will be
no one to look after her"

President Wilson Hopes He
Will Reconsider With
drawal
DEMOCRATS NOT
ENEMY OF BUSINESS
Strongly Urges Warburg to
Accept Position Of
fered Him

Washington July 9,-Declaring II
would be unfair to regard the Demo
cratic party as the enemy of big or lit
tie business President Wilson yesterday
gave out statement in support of Paul
Warburg of New York and Thomas ID
Jones. his nominees for the federal re-
serve board.
President Wilson's statement follows;
at would be particularly unfair to
the Democratic party and the Senate
itself to regard it as the enemy OF bust
ness, big or little.
Il am sure that ii does not regard a
man as an object of suspicion merely be-
cause he has been connected with great
business enterprises.
at knows that the business of the
country has been chiefly promoted in re-
cent years by enterprise, organized on
great SCALE and that the vast majority
of the men connected with what we have
come to call big business are honest, in
corruptible and patriotic.
"The country may be certain that it
is clear to members of the Senate as it
is clear to all thoughtful men that those
who have tried TO make big business
what it ought to be are the men to be
encouraged and honored whenever they
respond without reserve to the call of
public service.
Il predict with the greatest confidence
that nothing done by the Democratic
majority of the Senate of the United
States will be of sort to throw suspi-
cion upon such men.
"AIr. Jones and Mr.. Warburg in man
ifesting their willingness to make per-
sonal sacrifices and put their great
experience and ability at the SER
vice OF the government without thought
of personal advantage in the organiza
ton of great reform which promises
to be so servieeahle to the nation,
are setting an example of patriotism,
and Of public spirit which the whole
country admires.
1T is the obvious business of states
manship at this turning point in our de-
veopment TO recognize ability and
character, wherever it has been displayed
and unite every force for the upbuilding
of legitimate business along the new
lines which are now clearly indicated for
the future"
The president said yesterday he earnest
~ hoped Mr.. Warburg would reconsider
his decision not to accept the nomina
ton and that he was urging him to do
so. He expressed confidence that Mr. |
Jones would be confirmed.
The Senate banking committee had |
no meeting yesterday but an opportu- /
nifty will be afforded to-day for for I
NAL motion to withdraw the invitation /
that Mr.. Warbrg appear to be ques-
toned.
II was said yesterday by members I
that majority probably would oppose
it Acting Chairman Hitchcock said no
suggestion had reached him from adj !,
ministration officials for withdrawal of
the invitation.
The nomination of Thomas D. Jones
of Chicago also will be taken up to-day
1t was not certain yesterday that Mr..
Jones would be approved by majority.
1t became known that several mem
bers of the committee are not so much
interested in the American connections Of
Mr. Warburg as in any interest he may
have in foreign banking houses and in
his foreign investments

New York, July "a special cable to
the Times from Rio Janeiro says: An
important treaty project has been pre-
scented to the Brazilian chamber of depu-
ties. 1t is proposed that Brazil shall be-
gin negotiations with Argentina and
Chile for an offensive and defensive all
lance. The treaty would guarantee the
territorial integrity of the countries con-
cerned and their political independence,
and would also deal with the question of
selling dreadnoughts and reducing and
thereafter limiting armies and nayies.
Arbitration of all questions between the
states concerned would become obliga-
tory. 1t is reported that Argentina and
Chile approve the proposed treaty.

MONSTER LOG DRIVE MOVING.
Biggest on the Connecticut River, co..
100000 Feet, Passing Over i5-Mile
Falls Near East Barnet.

! North Stratford, n. H., July 9.--The
| biggest log drive ever attempted east OF
the Mississippi-a trife less than co.
100000 feet-worth S2l per thousand
at the mill-passed over Fifteen Mile
falls, on the Connecticut river near East
Barnet. VT, last night. This is the hard
est and most dangerous portion of the
2lS.mile course between North Stratford
and Northampton, Mass, its destination.
When this is over the husky drivers
of the Connecticut Valley Lumber Co.
are certain to rejoice in consequence.
Behind the big drive, waiting for the
course to clear bit, 10000 cords of
pulp wood owned by the American Real
ty Co., bound for Bellows Falls to be
turned into paper, and behind all this,
as we'll lies 5000 cords of the same ma
terial, doomed" at South Lancaster, un-
til the other fellows get out of the way.
The smaller lot of pulp wood is owned
by Joseph Bouville of North Stratford,
who expects to eventually deliver it at
Fitchdale, VT.
Many experienced lumbermen declare
that the chances seem a bit dubious OF
the big log drive getting down to North
ampton without having some 100000
feet or so tied up somewhere through
low water. In any event, the "drive"
will be weeks behind its regular sched-
ule. Yet this year the mammoth pro-
portions of the drive have to be reck-
oned with. Nothing approaching its size
has ever before been carried out in the
East-that is, in the way of logs. The
Androscoggin has seen some big drives,
particularly in connection with pulp
wood. but the latter are cut in four
foot lengths, while in the big Connect
cut river drive this year the logs are 80
feet and in many instances 40 feet in
length.
East Barnet is only about 80 miles

drive was started on April %, so more

the executive board OF directors in re-
jecting the conditions imposed by the

indicate that they are opposed to the
