DISSOLUTION
 OF EIOnOPOLIES
 0NLY SOLUTION
National Conference of Lib erals Reaches This
 Conclusion.

St. Louis, Dec. 1O-Dissolution of monopolies is the only solution of the economic and industrial problems fac ing the nation, according to the report of the program committee, submitted today to the national conference of liberals in session here.
 The committee said it's report was designed to eradicate poverty and squalidness."
 The two principal political parties are arraigned and while it was said the conference was not called to form a new political party, the report de- clares that the growing control Of basic resources and industries by the trusts has created the conviction that no relief can be secured except by the formation of a new party"
 There is a widespread feeling." the report continues, that there is no real difference between the old par ties; that both are controlled by financial interests which constitute an invisible government, unrepresenta- tive of the people; and for this req son an effective program in the public interest will not be formulated by either of them at the coming national conventions.'

Jenkins, American Consular Agent at PuebIa, in which it is asserted that Jenkins desired to be Kidnapped. The letter says that Jenkins wanted to be kid mapped for the purpose of proving that President Carranza was una abIe to afford personal protection to for eigners.
 The letter. which is displayed on the front page of Fl Democrata, in part says:
 There was no kidnapping in the case of Consul Jenkins. because 1t was his own desire, and he volunteer ed to come with me. We would not accept the money which some one sent to us. This will prove that 1t was not a case of kidnapping and holding for reward on my part.

bARNUM HEIR NOW ADyUDCED AS SINCONlPETENT Late H. B. seeley Mentally Incapable of Assigning
 Interest.

That the late Herbert Barnum See ley was mentally incapable of assign ing his interest in the estate of P. T. Barnum was the claim made today in the superior court when the suit started by the Connecticut Trust & Safe Deposit Co. of Hartford against Clinton Barnum Seeley, administra- tor, and others was brought to trial before Judge Webb.
 The Trust company had charge of the trust fund created by P. T. Bar mum for his widow, Baroness D'Ore- gani. Herbert Barnum Seeley was entitled to a one-ninth interest in the principal of this fund but he made so many assignments. which caused so many conflicting claims for the money that the Trust company start ed these proceedings to have the court decide who is entitled to the money
 It was between 1910 and 1912 that most of the assignments were made by Herbert Barnum SeeleJ-. It is claimed by the administrator of his estate that he did not receive enough in return for these assignments. It is also alleged that because the assign ments were made in New York state they are invalid.
 The principal of the trust fund amounted to $598, ,267, excluding prop cray in New York state. The one ninth interest of Herbert Barnum See- ley amounted to S66 497. It is expect ed that the trial will continue for two days.

RED STREAMS

 ARE INSPECTED
Introduced As Exhibit Tn Criminal Superior Court
 Today.

The lining of an automobile door upon which certain red streaks ap- peared was introduced as an exhibit in the Criminal Superior court this morning when the trial of Arthur W. Pratt of Darien, charged with the theft of an automobile from Charles Coppola, was resumed before Judge Reed and a jury. Coppo!a has never been found since February IA, 1919, when his car was taken and his pa rents are conrjnced that he is dead. Testimony was given today to indi- cate that the lining had been shown to an expert in an endeavor to dis cover what the nature of the red streaks are but his report was not in- troduced at the morning session.
 John s. Armstrong, a detective att tached to the New York police depart ment, was on the stand this morning to finish his testimony regarding the capture of Pratt, who was found in New York with Coppola's car in his possession. Armstrong said he was called to the Rhinelander garage on 65th street, New York on the night of February IA. He found Pratt there trying to sell the car for S4OO. When asked to explain how he got the car Pratt said he bought it from a man named Rosenfeldt. The detective and several other officers started with Pratt to Rosenfeldts address when Pratt tried to escape. He was re- captured after a short chase.
 Lizzie Coppola, sister of the missing man, said Pratt visited her brother in September, 1919, in company with some other men. The last time Cop pola's family saw Charles was 1 p. m. on February, 1919. The trial was resumed this afternoon.
