Hope Abandoned

Hope for his recovery was aban-
doned shortly before midnight. Since
late Sunday afternoon he has been
gradually failing. He has been I'M
conscious for the past few hours and
his heart is weakening in spite of the
powerful stimulants administered as
q last resort to prolong life.
In addition to his regular physician
DR.. w. w. Bolster of Lewiston, who
has been almost constantly with him
since his illness took serious turn
several days ago, Doctors Emery,
Thombs and Mitchell of Portland
were called in conference last night.
They agreed, it is said, there was
nothing more that could be done ex-
cept to make the patient as comfort
able as possible.
Early Sunday his condition seemed
slightly more hopeful. He had rested
quietly during the night and the heart
action was quite as strong as it had
been at any time for the past few
days. But following an ll-turn late
Sunday afternoon he began to sink.
Alarming symptoms have been de-
velOping until now the end seems
very near.

Antitrust Policy
Termed Joke by
Attorney Untermyer

Yonkers, n. Y. Aug. 22.-(R-The
administrations antitrust policy was
characterized as a "joke" in state
ment issued today by Samuel Inter
myer, noted lawyer.
The claim that the administration
is, in the words of an semi official
statement, protecting open COMPETE
ton and vigorously enforcing the
antitrust laws is the most colossal
and cynical piece of temerity and
humbug ever concocted," Mr. Inter
myer declared
His statement was ELECTED by re-
ports from the summer White House
at Paul Smiths, N. Y, that the presi-
dent felt that the record of the de-
partment of justice enforcing the anti
trust laws during the past 10 months
was sufficient evidence against the at
tack of Senator Borah that the admin
istration was ignoring big trusts and
displaying friendliness to Wall
Street.
'The laws are being openly flouted
in every direction" Mr.. Untermyer
asserted. 'They are intended as GRIM
inal statutes and experience has
shown that when there is an honest
effort to enforce them they are readily
enforcible as such by lawyer of av-
erage capacity who has the will to
do So"
Mr.. Untermyer ridiculed the report
ed intention of the president to confer
with owen d. Young, chairman of the
General Electric Company, concerning
strengthening of the antitrust laws.
He declared that the General Electric
not only is ''one of the largest Nor
gan trusts" but has been and is one
of the most consistent and conspicu-
Gus offenders against the antitrust
laws"
