Works replied that he would not re
sign and added that the people who
demanded his resignation were not
even republican. It is understood
that Senator Works leans very
strongly toward Governor Wilson.
An Associated Press dispatch says:
A bill amending the Sherman anti
trust bill in many particulars will
be included in the report of the
majority members of the house
special committee on inquiry into the
United States Steel corporation. One
amendment will bo directed against
the interpretation of the supremo
court in the American Tobacco com
pany case that a corporation must
bo in unreasonable restraint of trade
in order to be held in violation of
tho law.
The proposed bill would provide
that in any suit alleging that a
corporation or trust exists in re
straint of trade "the burden of proof
to establish the reasonableness of
such restraint shall be upon the
party who contends that 3aid re
straint Is reasonable."
Another provision would grant to
persons or concerns claiming to haVe
been injured by a corporation ad
judged guilty of violating the law the
right to damage without bringing an
independent suit.

August Belmont testified before
the senate committee investigating
campaign contributions to having
given $250,000 to the democratic
fund in 1904, the year of Alton B.
Parker's candidacy.
William Marshall-Bullitt, of Louis

The senate reached an agreement
to vote upon tho wool tariff and other

Postmaster General Hitchcock who
was chairman of the republican na
tional committee told the congres
sional investigating committee some
things about the 1908 campaign fund.
Mr. Hitchcock said the total col
lected through various agencies of
the committee in 1908 was $1,655,
518.27. Of this amount $620,150
was collected in various states and
handled b'y the local states commit
tees. The latter sum never was
turned into the treasury of the re
publican national committee, al
though that committee kept account
of it.
Mr. Hitchcock promised to furnish
the investigating committer with
copies of the financial records of the
campaign.
No. contribution was received from
a corporation, Mr. Hitchcock said, as
congress had just passed a law pro
hibiting it. He told of the only near
contribution he could remember hav
ing rejected.
It was offered by General T. Cole
man Dupont of Delaware, then a
member of the republican executive
committee, actively assisting in the
.management of the campaign, and
amounted to $20,000.
"He turned it over to the treasurer,
George R. Sheldon," began Mr. Hitch
cock. "When I learned of it I told
Mr. Dupont I did not think we would
accept it because the government had
a civil suit against a corporation in
which he was interested. I instruct
ed the treasurer to return it and he
did so."

The senate rebuked President Taft
for his comments on the Lorimer
case. The Associated Press tells the
story in this way:
The resolution was originally
framed by Senator Bailey, who had
arraigned President Taft asserting
that ho had been "officious and
meddlesome" in endeavoring to line
ur regular senators in the Lorimer
case.
Tho rcaoiutioji, as adopted, read:
"Resolved, That any attempt on
the part of a president of the United
States to exercise the powers and in
fluence of his great office for the pur
pose of controlling the vote of a sena
tor on a question involving a right
to a seat in the senate, or on any
other matter within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the senate, would
violate the spirit, if not the letter, of
the constitution, and invade tho
rights of tho senate."
Not a democrat voted against the
resolution, but six republicans voted
for it. Republicans who voted for it
were Senators Bourne, Clapp, tail,
Gallinger, McCumber and Works.
Democrats who voted for the reso
lution were:
Ashurst, Bacon, Bailey, Bryan,
Chamberlain, Culberson, Fletcher,
Gardner, Hitchcock, Johnson, John
ston, Martin, Martine, Newlands,
O'Gorman, Overman, Percy, Pomer
ene, Reed, Shively, Simmons, Smith
of Arizona, Smith of Georgia, Smith
of Maryland, Smith of South Caro
lina, Stone, Swanson, Thornton and
Tillman.
Those republicans who voted
against the resolution were: Borah,
Brandege, Bristow, Burnham, Bur
ton, Catron, Crawford, Cummins, Du
pont, Gronna, Jones, Kenyon, Mas
sey, McLean, Nelson, Oliver, Page,
Perkins, Root, Smith of Michigan,
Smoot, Sutherland and Townsend.
