ATTACK OPENED
ON TRADE BODY
Senator Borah Begins Denun-
citation by Republicans of
Commission Plan.

Washington. June 27.-Republican
attack on the federal trade commits
sion bill was opened in the. senate last
night by Senator Borah, who told his
colleagues that passage OF the meas
ure would Eedd not to certainty, among
pusrness men as to what theyemIght
lawfully do but to another period of
uncertainty such as followed the en-
actment of the Sherman antitrust
act.
Senator Borah criticised particularly
the provision in the bill which says
that unfair competition" is unlawful
He declared that leading lawyers in
the senate were unable TO agree on
what that term means, and insisted II
was unjust to ask the business of the
country to determine a matter where
the national legislators had failed.
You are putting business in a
straitjacket," said Senator Borah.
You should define what shall con-
stitute unfair competition. The Sher-
man law bids business TO be competi-
tive. and lays down the rule that COM
petition is the life of trade. Competi-
tion is the primal element of interstate
The bill provides that
there shall be no unfair competition.
When we say competition is the life
of trade and is essential to the public
and business welfare, and on the 9TH
er side we say that it shall not be un-
fair, 1t is certainly due to the business
of the country that we lay down rules
for competition and say what unfair
shall be-"
Senator Newlands urged that 1t
would be almost impossible to define !
practices that constitute unfair COM
petition, and Senator Lewis said that
If such definitions were put III the bill
practices not named could be INDUCED |
IN which were admittedly unfair but |
which would not be unlawful because !

CHAPTER TX.

went to bed early that night.
What with worrying and being alter
nately chilled by tramping through the
snow and roasted as if | was sitting
on a volcano with an eruption due,
| was about all in.
l guess it was about four o'clock in
the morning when hand slid over my
face, and l sat up and yelled. The
hand covered my mouth at that, and
something long and white and very
thin beside the bed said: Ssh! For
heavens sake, Minnie!"
1t was Miss Cobb! I lighted q
candle and set it on a chair beside the
bed and took a good look at her. She
was shaking all over, which wasn't
strange, for I sleep with my window
open, and she had key in her hand.
Here" she gasped, holding out the
key, here, Minnie, wake the house
and get him, but oh, Minnie, for heav-
ems sake, save my reputation!"
Get Who?" ! demanded, for I saw it
was her room key.
Il have locked a man in my ROOM"
she declared in a terrible voice, and col
lapsed ineo the middle of the bed
Well, leaned over and tried to tell
her she'd make a mistake. The more
| looked at her, with her hair standing
straight out over her head, and her
cambria nightgown and high collar
and long sleeves, and the hump on her
nose where her brother Willie had hit
her in childhood with baseball bat,
the surer I was that somebody had
made mistake-likely the man.
l sat down on the side of the bed
and put on my slippers
what did he look like?" / asked.
Gould you see him."
She uncovered one eye.
"Not--not distinctly" she said. CT
think he was large, and--and rather
handsome. That beast of a dog must
have got in my room and was asleep
under the bed, for it awakened me by
snarling."
There was nothing in that to make
me nervous, but it did. AS | put on
my kimono l was thinking pretty hard.
l gould not waken Mr., Pierce by
knocking, so | went in and shook him
Mr.. Pierce! Mr.. Pierce!"
1t was two or three minutes at least
before had him sitting ON the side
of the bed, with blanket spread over
his knees, and was telling him about
Miss Cobb.
After he seemed pretty we'll walk
ened / went out | waited in the sis-
ting-room and heard him growing as
he put on his clothes. He was quiet
when we got to the bedroom floors,
however, and when we stopped outside
Miss Cobb's door he was as sober as
any one could wish him.
l gave him the key and he fitted 1t
quietly in the lock. Arabella, just out
side, must have heard. for she snarled.' /
But the snarl turned into a yelp, as if |
she'd been suddenly kicked.
