CAUTIOUS
IN MOVE ON TRUSTS
President Wilson May be Call
ed Upon to Line Up Those
Who Oppose Action.

--N4ASIIINGToEr-~ Fahr--l4.-Eearful
that their present program of anti
trust legislation would, in operation,
upset business, the Democratic leaders
are proceeding cautiously In handling
the pending bills that have been en-
dorsed by the Wilson administration.
As the leaders dig deeper into the
measures they find an increasingly
large number Of objections. Serious
consideration has been given a pro-
posal that the entire program of legis-
lation be redrafted. There are OBJ
stacles in the way of such an arrange
ment. but If the leaders decide that
1t must be done they will can on
members who are disposed to stand
out against 1t.
In recommending the enactment of
laws supplemental to the Sherman
antitrust act, President Wilson dealt
only In general terms. He outlined
certain practices that he thought
ought to be prohibited and left con-
gress to attend to the details. Many
conservative leaders are still of the
opioion that Sherman aw would prove
adequate If vigorously enforced, but
they are committed to some enact
ments on the question. and are trying
TO find a way to proceed without do
ing harm.
Objections are urged against all
pending antitrust bills. They are
approved in whole by very few of the
responsible leaders in congress,

In the first place Horsley did not
know how many bulkheads there were
in the vessel. The plans of the ship,
and Captain Johnson's testimony,
showed there were five. Horsley
thought there were only four
He caused sensation when he
declared that he had never seen
any boat drills ON the Monroe, where
the boats had been lowered far
enough down TO allow their keeis TO
touch the water.
When questioned more closely re-
garding the bulkhead matter, Horsley
declared he had himself inspected the
bulkheads ON the morning of jan

him then, he said.
AS for the life RATS, he said, there

dashed to the deck. he said. the upper

TO withhold Anal decision on the
justice OF prosecuting criminally OFF,
Gals OF the New Haven responsible
for the organization of the alleged
transportation monopoly which Chair
man Elliott has agreed to dissolve
until after the dissolution agreed upon
has become effective. 4e7
The attorney general denied today
that he already had decided not .sto
prosecute these officials.
This denial wSs Forthcoming when
reports recently circulated ~ having
authoritative origin to the effect that
such a decision had been reached
were called to MIR. McReynoldS at
tention.
Although the attorney general. in
making this denial. said nothing to
indicate his state Of mind in the mat
ter. there are reasons for believing
that, at the end OF the period during
which he will keep an open mind, the
Indictment of certain officials of the
Mellen administration OF the New Ha-
ven road will be sought under the
criminal sections of the Sherman anti
trust law.
There are close friends of Mr.. Nc
Reynolds who believe that his consid-

gathered by the government inyestiga-
