RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF FRAME FOUR BILLS a H MEASURE APPROVED BY WILSON HAS NO ESCAPE LOOP- HOLES. TO BECOME LAWS VERY SOON Penalty for Restraint of Commerce, Unfair Business and Interlocking Directorates Ample Provisions Made for Trade Commission. Washington, Jan. 23. Thu adminis tration's trust bills, embodying the program laid down by tho president In his recnt ineBBUgo, have been presum ed to congress. The bills have received the approval of Mr. Wilson and tho Democratic leaders of both houses of congress. With llttlo modification they will be enacted Into law. Their purposes are: 1. Definition of unlawful monop oly or restraints of trade. 12. Prohibition of unfair trade practice. 3. Creation of ati interstate trade commission. 4. Regulation of corporation dl doctorates and prohibition of in terlocking directorates. Unlawful Monopoly Defined. Unlawful monopoly is dutlned as any combination or agreement be tween corporations, llrms, or persons designed for the following purposes: 1. To create or carry out re strictions in trado or to acquire a monopoly in any Interstate trade, business, or commerce. 2. To limit or reduce tho pro duction or increase the price of merchandise or of any commodity. 3. To prevent competition in manufacturing, making, transport ing, Belling, or purchasing of mer chandise, produce, or any com modity. 4. To make any agreement, en ten into any arrangement, or ar rive at any understanding by which thoy, directly or Indirectly, undertake to prevent a free and unrestricted competition t among themselves1 or among any pur chasers or consumers in the sale, production, or transportation of any product, article, or commod ity. The penalty for violation of the law (s fixed at not more than $5,000 or Im prisonment for one year or both. Guilt is made personal through a ectlon that whenever a corporation hall be guilty of the violation of the law the offense shall be deemed to cover the Individual directors, officers, and agents of such corporation, as authorizing, ordering, or doing the prohibited acts, and they shall bo pun ished as prescribed above. A ' paragraph prohibiting 'holding companies is to be added to this meas ure. Covert Unfair Trade Practices. The bill forbidding unfair trade practices declares that to discriminate in price, between different purchasers of commodities, with the purpose or Intent to injure or destroy a competi tor, either of the purchaser or of the seller, shall be deemed an attempt to monopolize Interstate commerce. It is specifically declared that, the law is not Intended to prevent" dis crimination In price between purchas ers of commodities "on account of difference In the grade, quality, or quantity of the commodity sold, or that makes only due allowance for difference In the cost of transporta tion." Further, it Is prescribed that noth , lng contained In the act shall prevent persons from selecting their own cus tomers, "but this provision shall not authorize the owner or operator of any mine engaged In selling Its prod uct in Interstate or foreign comjnerco to refuse arbitrarily to sell the same to a responsible person, firm, or cor poration, who applies to purchase." An attempt at monopoly also is de clared to exist for any person to make a sale of goods, wares, or merchandise or fix a price charged therefor, 'or dis count from or rebate upon such price, on the condition or understanding that the purchaser thereof Bhall not deal In the goods, wares, or merchan dise of a competitor or competitors of the seller. Deals With Damage Suits. A Judgment against any defendant In a suit brought under the anti-trust law the bill provides shall constitute as against such defendant conclusive evidence of the same facts and be conclusive as to tho same Isbucb of law In favor of any other party In any other proceeding brought under and Involving the provisions of the law. For the benefit of parties Injured in their business or property, by any per son or corporation found guilty of vio lating the law the statute of limita tions applicable to such cases shall be suspended. Injunctive relief Is accorded against threatened loss or damage by a viola tion of tho act under the same condi tions and principles that Injunctive re lief against threatened conduct which will cauBe loss or damage is granted by courts of equity. It is required that a proper bond hall be executed against damages for an injunction improvldently granted, and It must be shown that tho danger of Irreparable loss or damage is im mediate. Hits Interlocking Directorates. Concerning directorates, tho bill on that subject, which Is to beconio ef 10 CURB IKUblb fective two years from date of ap proval of the act, provides: "No person engaged as an Individ ual or as a member of a partnership or as a director or other ofllcer of a corporation in the business of soiling i'allronil cars or locomotives, or rail road rails or structural steel, or min ing or selling coal, or conducting a bank or trust company, shnll act us a director or other officer or employe of nny railroad or other public servlco corporation which conducts an Inter state business. "No person shall at tho same time be n director or other ofllcer or em ploye In two or moro federal reserve linnks, nntlonnl bunks, or banking as sociations, or other bunks or tniRt companies which nre members of nny reserve hank; nnd a private hanker and n person who is n director In any stuto bank or trust company not oper ating under tho provisions of the re cent currency law shnll not he eligible to perve us a director In nny bunk or banking association or tniBt company operating under the provlblons of the law." Vlolntlon of these sections Is made punishable by a fine of $100 a day, or by Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both. If any two or more corporations have common director or directors, tho fact shall bo conclusive evidence that them exists a real competition between such corporation and such elimination of competition shall be construed us u restraint of Interstate trado and be treated accordingly. The trade commission bill provides for commission of five members, with the commissioner of corporations ns chairman, nnd transfers all tho exist ing powers of tho bureau of corpora tions to the commission. The principal 'and most Important duty tho commission besides conduct ing Investigations will be to aid the courts when requested In tho forma tion of decrees of dissolution. With this In view, the bill empow ers he court to refer any part of pend ing ll.tlgutlon to the commission, In cluding the proposed decree, for infor mation and advice. Much Criticism for Bills. The trust bills as framed will be the subject or sharp criticism on tho part of progressives of all parties who claim they do not go far enough. It will be declared that the definition of monopoly remains inadequate that the prohibition of unfair trade practice does not cover this evil In our econ omic life that interlocking stock con trol is not covered and that the pow ers of the proposed trade commission are insufficient. It Is interesting to note that the proposal to place the burden of proof upon a combination believed to be vio lating the law hus been omitted. No attempt Is made to prevent or destroy monopoly based on patents. The great est difficulty exerienced in the effect ive enforcement of the law has been found to be In the unwillingness of the courts to impose Jail penalty. It remains optional under the proposed measures wiht the courts to fine or imprison. Trade Board May Disappoint. In connection with the trade com mission President Wilson declared in his message that the country "de mands such a commission only as an Indispensable instrument of Informa tion and publicity aa a clearing house for the facts by which both the pub lic mind and the managers of great business undertakings should be guided." The bill prescribes that the commis sion acts are to constitute a "public record" but the body Is authorized to make public the information "in such form and to such extent as may be necessary" or "by direction of the attorney general." It Is apparent that the publU mind cannot be guided unless it has the facts, and then It will not get unless the commission or the attorney gen eral deems It politic. In other words, public hearings will not bo held as they are held by the interstate commerce commission. Settlement of Differences. The most Important feature of the bill Is that which legalizes the policy of the administration of terminating an unlawful condition by agreement between tho combination attacked and tho attorney general. This feature Is comprehended under a section which requires the commis sion, upon the request of the attorney general or any corporation affected, to Investigate whether a combination is violating tho law. In case the com mission should find the violation to exist it must teport to the attorney general a statement of the objection able acts and transactions and the readjustments necessary for tho of fending combination to conform to the law. These conclusions are to be "ad visory to the attorney general in ter minating by agreement with the cor poration affected or by suing the said unlawful conduct or condition." In other words, whatever may be the agreement made by the attorney general with the combination Investi gated, it will give the reorganized combination legal standing, so long as It conforms to the term of the agree ment. Thus it Is proposed to place by law a tremendous power In the hands of the attorney general. This power has been assumed to attorneya general, and particularly so by Mr. McRey nolds; Will Give Courts Advice. In a statement accompanying the bill made by Congressman Clayton, chairman of tho house Judiciary com mittee, it is said that the "principal and most Important duty of tho com mission, besides conducting Investiga tions, will bo to aid the courts, when requested, In tho formation of decrees of dissolution, Charming Afternoon BBsONPlSBr r idBBBBBBBBBBBBk.

Ono of the latter is pictured In the illus tration here. The skirt Is of black charmeuse with a little coatee of black velvet and a bodice of plaited chiffon. The skirt is a marvel of clever ad justment to the lines of the figure by means ot shaping and the least possi ble draping. It is made in one with the corsage which includes the little coat and bodice effect. A more prac tical development of the toilette would manage to make the coat separate, because It could be removed indoors or worn as a separate coat with other gowns. , The coat Is trimmed with fashion able skunk fur in a fine silky grade. This fur varies bo much In quality that some sklnB are worth twice as much and more than others. It la used on practically every outside garment which women wear. This gown should be chosen by those of plump figure who wish to wear velvet Like other pile fabrics velvet must be carefully managed and COMBINATION OF WHITE WITH BLACK CREPE APPARENTLY the combination of white with black crepe haB come to stay. In those shops that special ize In this branch of apparel one sees a great deal ot whlto crepe used In millinery. In the winter time It ap pears in facings or borders, or in made ornaments. It Is In facing hats of black crepe that It Is best liked. For summer mourning, white crepe is used more extensively. All-white hats, and combinations of black and white crope, in which the latter pre dominates, gives ub a new kind of mourning millinery 'in which it Is pos sible to be comfortable and to look cool as well. The method of draping veils varies with the season and with Ideas that eater the realm of fashion and suc ceed In remaining there. The veil ot crepe Is only moderately long now end usually draped In a box plait at the back. It may bo widened to hang from the sides of tho shape as shown In the Illustration, or narrowed to hang straight down. Tho cropo veil la, In fact, not worn BBBBBBBft ' i-'SBBBBBBBWv VbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbBVbbHbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbHsbW V LbbbbbbbbbbbbbWbbbbbbbbbbbbbbV Ml JbbbbbbbbbbbbbbWWbbbbbbbbsbbbbV Gown by Paquin Is best made up along plain and s vero lines, like those shown In the model pictured. There Is not much warmth in an outside garment which leaves th chest uncovered, and therefore simi lar little coats are shown with wide, revers to turn forward when one la outdoors and away from the chest In? doors. But the lovely Paquin model,, which we are studying, was not de signed so much with reference to Its practical side as to its picturesque and novel appearance. The clever banj dling of tho fastening In front, whero ribbon is wrapped about the fur and we arc left to wonder how thq wear er gets into or out of the gown, is most attractive. The standing and full riff of tulle is a wonderful touch In the finishing of the costume. In keeping with it, and not taking the attention r.t all, the fur trimmed turban of black velvet with its little nosegay of gay flowers is just the hat for this gown. The ensemble leaves nothing to be desired, It Is simple enough to please the most quiet taste and distinctive enough to suit the most discriminating dresser. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. NNWV-WWVV as a veil but as a part ot the com position of hats for first mourning. Small face-veils of net, with narrow border of crepe are supplied on the models that carry the long crepe veils. All models in mourning millinery are made up In the fashionable shops In either white or black, except In cases where the character of the design calls for a combination of the two or for one color alone. The manufacture of crepe has been so perfected that It has become prac tical for peoplo of moderate means. The waterproofing processes have made it among the most durable of fabrics instead ot fragile, as it uspd to bo. Wo are Indebted to the Eng lish manufacturers for this fine achievement. Crepe used to be a luxury which only rich people could really afford. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Comforter Slip. Make your comforter in tho UBua'i way, using white cheesecloth next to the cotton. Take your sllkollne or other goods; steam it up in tho usual way, sewing tho edges together to-' form a slip; now slip It on tho white comforter and tie enough to hold it in place. When comforter becomes soiled, take the slip off and launder; hang tho cotton on the line. Deat lightly, with the carpet beater; you will havo a clean comforter without tho usual' hard labor of lifting a heavy wet comforter, and your cotton will stay, soft and fluffy much longer. Los An geles Express. New Chiffon Bags. The newest thing in bags to carry In the afternoon and evening is made of figured chiffon with a brown back ground, figured with yellow roses in an indistinct design. This Is mounted over cloth of gold and silver stripes and has a silver clasp and chain. Another bag is mado of mauve and groen chiffon mounted over silver cloth. Silver cords are used for draw strings at the top and a silver tasslo Is fastened to the pointed end of the bag. IS BHEI COUNTY STATE HISTORICAL 80CIETY MAKES APPEAL FOR A HOME. GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAl Items of Interest Gathered from Re liable Sources and Presented In Condensed Form to Our Readers. Wi'stt'in Nenp.ipor Union News Service. Is there nn Arthur county In (Nebras ka? This Is a question which tho bu promo court of tho statu has been called upon to decide. Twenty-ono years ago there was nn Arthur county, it was adjoining Mcl'hcrson county In tho sand hills region. At that tlmo an election was hold to seo If tho voters In tho two counties wanted to combine them Into ono county. Residents woro scarce. Thoro wcro thirteen voters In Arthur county and cloven voted for annexation with McPherBon county, two voting against It. All the fifty two votors In McPhorson county voted In the atllrmatlve, no Arthur county ceased to exist. About a year ago eomeono dlscocrcd that tho records show thnt only ono voto Is recorded ugalnat annexation, nnd It was con cluded that rIuco thoro were two such votes cast tho Job of Joining tho coun ties was not legally done. To settle tho mutter tho present case was brought by Attorney General Martin questioning tho right of a sot of offi cers selected to govern Arthur county, tho legislature having authorized tho organization of it at tho last session of tho lawmakers. Historical Society Wants a Home. An appeal for a building In which historical material of Nebraska should bo preserved for ages to como and a scoring of tho state for not providing such a structure, wcro delivered uy John Leo Webstor In his address at tho annual meeting ot tho Nebraska State Historical society. Ho declared that the state, while making largo ap propriations for hog serum and fish, soldiers nnd criminals, was Indifferent to the society which would have died but for voluntary contributions and membership fees. "Tho same legislature appropriated four times as much money, or $28,000, to cultivate fish In little ponds," said Mr. Webster, "and four times as much, or $30,000, for hog serum, as if both llsh and hogs wcro four times as precious In the estimation of our peo ple bb the history of our pioneers, or tho founders of our states." Want Camp Re-established. A petition Is being circulated among tho cadets of tho university In tho causo of reestablishing an annual mili tary camp. Tho custom of holding a enmp for tho university cadets In the spring was disbanded ono year ago,, because of disorder and disregard -of rules. Tho officers' club is behind the movement, and will present the peti tions to tho university senate In the hope ot securing permission to hold an encampment this spring. Red Cloud After Reformatory. The city of Red Cloud, which has noarly 2,000 population, would like to have the new state reformatory for Junior criminals located there. Mayor Saunders called on the board of con trol recently a.nd mentioned tho ad vantages of his' town, Including fine climate, good material for making brick and concrete, good land for farm ing and a general record of good crops, To Head Off Tubucular Cattle. Steps to prohibit the importation ot sattlo from New York, and Ulnols may be taken by tho Nebraska Dairy Breeders' association. While no offi cial action has so far been taken on thlB specific matter, a committee was appointed to confer with the sanitary board at tho state house. On this com mittee E. W. Badger of Coutral City and L. Tomplln of Palmer were named. The association members expressed tho belief that dairymen In New York and Illinois are attempting to unload their tuberculosis cattle on Nebraska and other middle weBt farmers and thoy Intend that this practice shall be stopped. E. G. Maggl or tho state pardon ooard has gone to Anamosa, In., to at tend a session of tho Iowa board of iardons.
