PRESIDENT OPPOSES COMMISSION Hopes Clvle Federation Measarc Will Del Throngs. WASHINGTON, D. C. April W.-Presl-dent Roosevelt stated today that ha would oppoaa any bill providing a commission to consider tha subject of amendments to the Sherman antl-truat law. The Mer chants' association of New York and sev eral other business organisations are send ing circular letters throughout tha country suggesting a commission to consider the whole subject and make recommendations to tha next session of congress. .Tha presi dent takes the position that congreaa and the country, fully understand the question and he believes that there should be action at thla session. The president, as Is well known, favors tha Hepburn bill, which was prepared by the Civic Federation, and he la. of tha opinion that this bill", Wu.ch waa prepared after long deliberation by the federation and governmental and congres sional leaders, fully covers tha demands of the times. The opinion at the White House Is that a commission would merely delay action. The Hepburn bill is one of the measures that Representative Watson, tha repub lican "whip" of tha house, told tha preil. dent probably would not be reported by the house judiciary committee before ad journment. There Is no information avail able as to whether the president's oppo sition to a commission on this subject would extend also to the proposition for a com mission to consider the currency question.

EX-SENATOR THURSTON INVOLVED Testimony that Anonymans Missives Were Written on Similar Type writer to One In Lake Com pany'a Office. , WASHINGTON. April 1.-Handwrltinf experts Were called todey before the spe cial committee of the house which Is in vestigating the charges brought by Repre sentative L-llley of Connecticut that mem bers of the bouse had been improperly In fluenced by the Electric Boat company in thd matter of submarine boat legislation. Chairman BoUtell stated at the outset ef the session that of the many charges brought before the committee the most serious was that corrupt means had been used to secure or defeat nomination and election of members of the present con gress. "Such a charge reflects upon the Integ rity of the house and deserves the most exhaustive examination by this commit tee." he said. "The only case of the kind which the testimony has disclosed Is the cowardly attempt that has been made, partly through an anonymous letter, to blacken the name and ruin the career of Representative Loud of Mlchlgsn. As no one has had the courage to admit the au thorship of these dastsrdly communica tions this committee feels that the burden has been laid upon It to discover. If pos sible, the authorship of these communica tions." Mr. Boutell stated that the letters had been turned over to Experts and he then called David N. Carvalho to the stand. Testimony of Kxperts. Mr. Carvalho said he had examined the two letters in question, one received by the Washington correspondent of the Detroit Free Press and the other by Frank Edln- borough, state senator from Michigan, and now a candidate for congress against Mr. Loud. He also had examined a great many of the typewritten documents and com pared them with the anonymous letters, taking photographs and preparing charts showing his deductions. Unquestionably, he said, the two anony mous letters and certain of the papers were written by one and the same machine. These documents, it has been testified, were dictated by former Senator Thurston and written by Aimer R Neff on a typewriter In the Washington office of the Lake Tor pedo Boat company. The documents In ques tion were questions and statements pre sented to the committee by Mr. Ulley and signed by him. The witness said that the Identity of the typewriting machines on which two or more papers were written could be de termined more readily than the genuineness of handwriting. 'I know absolutely nothing as to the au thorship of the anonymous letters that have been Introduced In the Investigation of the Eelectrlc Boat company," said Repre sentative George L. Lilley. under whose resolution the Investigation Is being con ducted, to a representative of the Associ ated Press today, while David Carvalho, the handwriting expert was testifying. The four documents which Mr. Carvalho saya were written on the same typewriter as were the anonymous letters, were sub mitted to me by an agent of the Lake Tor pedo company.- I algned them and sub mitted them to the committee. They were not written on any typewriter belonging te me." "' " , ATTITUDE OF IRISH (Continued from First Page.) will afford accommodation for Catholic students.

WASHINGTON, April 18. Should the plans of the American government be ac ceptable to Mexico, the cruiser Albany will be utilised to convey Ambaaaador Creel and W. I.
