Last night he told officers he
had driven two men, one of them
a Chinese and a woman to Tay-

killing, and that he had received
5000 for this work.
Fields asserted that after the
party dispersed he went to Kan

Buffalo. At the time of his arrest
there, he wore suit purchased in

Senator King Declares
Industry Controlled
by Duponts and AL
lied Company

Washington, Feb. 20. - The
senate committee investigating
the alleged existence OF dye and
chemical monopoly was told today
by Senator King, democrat, Utah,
that the American dye makers
had become a "highly integral
ed" industry and that they were
exercising monopolistic powers"
By means of charts, the Utah
senator showed the component
parts Of two great concerns in the
industry, the Allied Dye and
Chemical company and the Du-
Points, saying they had obtained
control OF the industry. He added
that many of the corporations
absorbed" by the groups were so
large that they might in them
selves be called trusts. The assets
Of the allied dye and chemical
company, the senator said, were
$282,743,000 in 1921.
The DuPonts, according to SEN
ator King, controlled industries
with assets of $1,018,32S,000 In
1921.
The Utah senator said he had
no intention of saying anything
directly derogatory to the DUPONT
company, but desired to show that
they were in no position to ask
congress for special legislation
that would give them further
control"
