Police Have Several
Clues in Murder Case

Steelton police are trailing down
several clues which they believe will
aid them in learning the murderer of
1850 Bake, who was found dead yes
terday morning beside an empty beer
keg at 72S South Third street.
Revenge has been fixed as the mo-
tive for the crime, but whether one or
more persons took part in the murder
the authorities are not sure. Several
officers who had been watching Bakic
immediately after his arrival in the
borough have some information which
they believe will help them in locating
the man or men who killed Bakic.
No funeral arrangements have been
made. Coroner Eckinger will hold an
inquest next week.

GERMAN LEWIS
 TAKES CITY PLAN
 MEMBERS TO TASK
Wants to Know if the Comnlis- sion Is Going to Do Any
 thing Except Talk.

Are you simply talking or is this City Plan commission going to do something?'' Alderman Henry A. Lew is. asked Charles D. Davis Of the City Plan commission after the latter had given a talk on City Planning and the aims of the commission before the Mems Brotherhood of the First Bap- list church last night.
 Tn the last 10 years, continued AL derman Lewis, i've have been going down hill. We have been retrograd- ing instead of improving as far as our city is concerned We are now per- hitting the erection of three decker tenement buildings which are nothing better than fire, traps. Our bankers are furnishing money for the building of these structutres. What is your commission doing to remedy these conditions ?''
 In reply MT. Davis said the oommis- sion had been in existence only short time during which it's members had raised $3,so0 to carry out the purpose for which it was created and St, ,00O had been given by the city. MT. Davis said school children should be instructed in the work of city planning.

 s.Acid'' stonachs are dangerous be- cause acid irritates and inflanres the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to probably nine-tenths of the cases Of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Ordinary medicines and medi- cinal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid%in the stomach, as damgero rous as ever. The acid must be sneutraiized.sa and it's formation prevent ed. and the best thing for this Purpose is a teaspoonful of bicurated mag nesias a. simple antacid, taken in a little WarIa1s or cold water after eating which not only neutra1izes the acid. but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed.

An attempt to force an entrance into the building occupied by the S. E. Lee Piano Go, 84 Cannon street, was re- ported today at police headquarters. Though the back door had been pried open and was discovered by a police man on patrol, nothing was taken. Manager Edward J.

A MUCH ABUSED ACT

The Sherman antitrust law has
been much maiigned and much
abused statute Every mistake of the
law department OF the government
has been charged up to that efleient
measure. whose functions have been
oVerworked and provisions mlsap-
phed. But Il n somewhat encouraz-
ing that the legal branch OF the ad.
ministration has reached a mora cor.
rect conception than Il has recently
had OF the nature OF its responsible
Ties under the Sherman law. This
change OF attitude has provoked one
foolish commentator 70 heap contume-
ly on the law and the methods by
which IL has been enforced. and TO
declare that lust now there Is great
wonder pervading the whole country
as TO whether the Sherman antitrust
law has ever brought about one sin
gle practical beneficial result I'm its
entire history" This outbreak would
appear to come from someone IL re-
ally had hit. Fundamentally Il is a
foolish and false observation that OBJ
viously contradicts itself.
Nothing could be more fatal 10 the
interests OF legitimate business than
To entertain belief such as that ex-
pressed above. IL was such inter
ests that called the act into being.
and Il Is In their interests that IL has
been enforced. a competent defend
er of its utility calls attention TO the
statement made by the man whose
name IL bears. who. in speaking Of
the wrongs the bill proposed to rem
edy, said that associated enterprise
and capital had ceased to be satisfied
with partnerships and corporations
competing with each other, and had
invented a new form Of combination
that sought to avoid competition by
combining the controlling CORPORA
tons, partnerships and individuals en-.
Eaged In the same business. and plac-
ing the power and property OF the
combination under the guidance Of a
few individuals and often under the
control OF single man called a trus-
tee. chairman or president. The
sole object OF such a combination was
to make competition impossible. Il
could control the market. raise or
J lower prices as would best promote
its selfish interests. reduce prices in
particular locality and break down
competition. and advance prices at
viii where competition did not exist
Senator Sherman believed that II we
would not endure a king as a political
power. we should not endure king
over the production. transportation
and sale Of any OF the necessaries OF
life. This is the sane meaning and
object of the Law. n Il has been per
verted Il r. not the fault OF the law.
