Orleans telegraphed to Chairman
Pujo his resignation as associate
counsel for tho house banking and
currency committee in the conduct
of the so-called "money trust" in
vestigation. His reason was that he
was unable to spare time from his
own affairs to serve the committee.
The lines in which the-"money trust"
investigation "Will proceed were in
dicated in a telegram to Chairman
Pujo. Lacking the power to conduct
a thorough examination of national
banks, the attorneys agreed upon a
line of investigation, Mr. Farrar said,
that would go into every feature of
tho control "by a handful of men in
New York."

An Associated Press dispatch says:
Officials of the department of justice
declined to grant a further personal
conference to W. H. Gray, an attor
ney of Houston, Tex., to urge the im
mediate arrest of John D. Archbold,
H. C. Folger, jr., and W. C. Teagle,
of the Standard Oil company, on
their indictment At Dallas, Tex., for
the alleged violation of the Sherman
anti-trust law. Mr. Gray issued a
statement criticising Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham for not having
served the warrants on the Stand
ard Oil officials. He was requested
to present in writing all evidence in
his possession in connection with
the case to the department.
An important decision was handed
down in the bath-tub trust case by
the United States supremo court. The
court laid down the "broad principle
that there can be no monopoly' in
the unpatented product of a patented
machine without violating the Sher
man anti-trust law. Justice McKen
na delivered the unanimous opinion
of the court.
Referring to this opinion the
"Washington correspondent for the
Philadelphia North American says:

Four years successful eperatlen.-
arrest practically simultaneously of
173 persons in the principal cities of
the country, was made by post
office inspectors and United States
marshals upon doctors and drug con
cerns., charged with misuse of the
mails to solicit criminal medical prac
tice, or to dispose of medicines or
I instruments connected with such
practice. The jaid, the, most' "exten
sive and far-re,aching ever made by
any department of the govehment,
was under the personal direction of
Postmaster General Hitchcock and
Chief Inspector Robert S. Sharp of
the postoffice department. So care
fully had "its details been guarded
that until the first of the arrests were
made at In.dianapolis, early in the
day, practically nothing was known
of the government's contemplated
action. Working with clocklike pre
cision, the inspection forces spread
over twenty-two 3tates, carried out
the prearranged plans, and at an
early hour 'the postoffice department
had received word that practically
all of the designated persons had
been arrested.
well as anti-trust suits already filed
against the moving-picture trust and
the United Shoe Machinery company.
The decision is regarded as vitally
important because of the govern
ment's claim that the -'patent license
agreement" plan was being adopted
by many concerns as a result of the
judicial bah upon the "pure trust"
plan, as exemplified in the case of
the Standard Oil company, o, Ohio;
the "holding company" nlan, as de
clared invalid in the Northern Se
curities case; and the combination of
a holding company and a manufac
turing Company, as snowan;in the
Standard Oil and tobacco cases.

Following ia a dispatch to the Lin
coln, Neb., Journal: Agricultural
lands in forest reserves amounting to
over. 1,200,000 acres have been
listed for segregation by Director
Graves of the forestry service, and
will be opened for homestead entry
in tho near future, according to an
announcement just made by the chief
forester. Mr. Graves has just re
turned toWashingtpn after several
months' absence in the west, during
which time he has been making a
tour of inspection of the national
forests. The trip was undertaken
immediately at the close of the last
session of congress.
"I gave special attention to the
work of classification of agricultural
lands in the forests." s&id Mr.
Graves. "Since authority was
granted by congress in 19 06 for the
segregation of agrlcultural'lands w
A special dispatch to the Louis
ville Courier-Journal says: The ques
tion of holding primaries in their
districts, to decide who shall get
federal Jobs under the Wilson ad
ministration is dividing democratic
members of congress. Representa
tive Jack Beall, of Texas, and Ben
jamin G. Humphries, of Mississippi,
who are taking the lead in advocat
ing that all democratic congressmen
adopt that course, were today op
posed by Representative Robert L.
Henry, of Texas, that President-elect
Wilson, who, after all, will make the
appointments, will be asked for an
opinion on the perplexing problem.
Mr. Henry received a petition from
some of his constituents in which it
was stated that the patronage ques
tion is worrying the democrats down
in the cattle country. The document
concluded with a plea that Mr. Henry
stand by, tho old system and recom
mend his friends for appointment as
postmasters, revenue collectors, dis
trict attorneys, etc. Mr. Henry re
plied that he took no stock in the
new fangled idea.
As Mr. Henry is a progressive
democrat, and was one of Mr. Wil
son's earliest supporters, his attitude
on this advanced primary idea is
regarded as important.

Public Ledger says: The opening
attack upon the constitutionality of
the sections of the recent postal ap
propriation act, requiring newspapers
to publish a list of their subscribers,
stockholders and bondh.olders, as
well as to label paid political articles
as advertisements, was made before
the supreme court of the United
States in a. printed brief filed by
Robert C. Morris and G. B. Plante on
behalf of the Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin, of New
York. The case is set for argument
oraUy on December 2.
The attorneys for the newspaper
contend principally that the act
violates the constitutional liberty of
the 25..000 newspapers, magazines
and periodicals published through
out the United States.
Unlike public service corporations,
the newspapers, the attorneys claim,
possess no elements which give the
government a right to regulate their
business except in so far as the
public morals or public welfare is
concerned.

patch says: The ..vexing. questions of
