HANCOCK. Mien July 21. "Big combl
nationa like the Standard OH coiniiany and
the tobacco truxt are going to ba 'split
up into a number of separate and 'distinct

powera." This was llio prediction made
la an address here today by Attorney Gen

ar ayin tbe decisions of tlie supreme
court du not r. al.y infill anything."
'Don't believe any such talk," tbe at

here for Haacock a "home coming" celebra
tion. Criticisms seeking to minimise the value
of the sjpreiue court decisions corns
largely, he added, from those who would
tike to embarrass the administration with
the sort uf "general assault oa all business
which would compel every lJujiness man tj
turn to the othe. party for relief."
Incidentally Mi. Wickerahatu took occa
sion to trace the guiding band of President
laft in the policy of the Department of
Justice, concluding his speech with the re
u.ark that "no matter who should be at
Hie head of the department, so long as
William Talt is president no oilier policy

iit the activities of "tbe people law of

rlrsi at aui," lie said, "there are the
;ieai trusts ciues, in which you, in com
mon with the whole country have been
so much interested. The government scored
at tat vicloiiee there. Do not let anybody
uecelve you as to that. If the court bad
held that every . contract that put any
le.tialot of any kind upon commerce among
tne stales, however sag tit, was a violation
of the bnerniaa law, the Department of
Justice would have bad to -Illustrate the
truth of what Ldmund Burke said, "you
can't draw an indictment against nation."
' For there axe not lawyers enough In the
government nor, for that matter. In toe
country to draw Indictments against every
body who makes any contract that in any
respect ' implies la soma measure te re
strain interstate commerce.
.Hut when the supreme court said we
. must read this statute as reasonable men
and give It an interpretation that will not
strangle ail trade, but which will prevent
any undue restraint, prohibit all contracts
and combinations that are Intended to in
terfere with tbe natdral course of trade,
or which will have that necessary effect-
then the court gave us a means of pre
venting those evils which led to tbe enact
ment of the law And this la especially so
in view of the fact that the court gave full
force to the prohibition of monopolies, and
by its decrees has ordered the breaking up
of the two largest and most successful
monopolies or trusts which ever have ap
peared In this country.
Bla- Cassekaatioas Mast Divide.
"But some people are saying that these
decisions don't really mean anything; that
the big trusts will simply re-organlsa under
other forms and go on Just as before. Don't
believe any such talk. Take my assurance
for It that those big combinations are
going to be split up into a number of sepa
rate and distinct parts, no one of which
shall have any connection or control over
any over, and no one of which shall have
so large a percentage of the business as
to be anything like a monopoly. That Is
whatj I understand the court to require,
and nothing less will meet my Interpreta
tion of the decisions of the supreme court.
"Well, you have put in the bands of
your Department of Justice a great many
other laws to enforce, and we have been
enforcing them and we shall go on enforc
ing them unless congress next fall shall

SEW YORK, July n. "AH such wrongs
right themselves," was the assurance John
E. Parsons gave the sugar trait Investi
gators today when they asked him how
to curb the big corporations. When the
former attorney of the American Sugar
Refining company took the stand again
Representative Asher C. Hinds Inquired:
'As probably the world's most eminent
expert on these matters what would you
suggest that sovereign government can
do to prevent these great combinations of
capital from the extravagances tbey have
exhibited" In tbe pest?"
"My theory la and It Is supported by the
greatest economic writers, that all such
wrongs right themselves," replied Mr.
Parsons. "If there Is too much water la
the stock that wlrl take care of Itself. Tbe
government cannot In equity Interfere In
private affair. There should bo no limit
to capitalization so long as It la not In
jurious or fraudulent."
"I certainly claim to be the pioneer In
the formation of tbe American trust," said
Mr. Parsons. In answer to another ques
tion. "I am very proud of It."
At the atart of the congressional investi
gation today Charles R. Heiks, former sec
retary of the American Sugar Refining
company, declared his Ignorance of the
mysterious resolution passed by the board
of directors, in which H. O. Havcmeyer
said the company should take action rela
tive to "Injurious litigation and hurtful leg
islation and appeals from each of the 'po
litical parties."
Helke aaid that the late John E.
Searles was tbe secretary and did not tarn
over to him records of the action taken
on that resolution.
Mr. Parsons opposed the law which per
mits the government to examine the books,
question the officers and obtain the secrets
of a corporation.
Mr. Parsons repudiated the many state
ments which havs been made that H. O.
Havemeyer was the one power la the

V.T. Parsons Insisted that the American

Under the monarchist regime all Portu
guese regiments were kept far below their
normal strength to save expense. The pro
visional government, however, called the
reservists to the color. These numbered
about 22.000 and were more than were

furthermore, they entailed great expense.
Accordingly all but S.4U0 were dismissed,
but ordered to be in readiness to respond

, . JKwar-y Interest.
WASHINGTON, , July SL Assailing the
press of tho United Btatea for its support
of the Canadian reciprocity bill,. Senator
La Follette of Wisconsin made his closing
speech against the bill In the aenate today.
He expressed the belief that newspapers
would suffer In loss In Influence for the
support tbey have given to legislation. In
which, he said, they have a direct money
Interest
"The press has failed In Its duty to the
public in regard to this legislation," be
said.
Dealare Attltade at Papers.
Mr. La Follette rererred to testimony
given before the finance committee of tbe
senate that a newspaper organisation had
sent out a communication to many papers
urging them to favorably treat tbe re
ciprocity agreement. He deplored this atti
tude of tho .newspapers.
"We have senators on this floor who are
bankers," said Senator La Follette; "sen
ators who are woolen manufacturers and
cotton manufacturers; senators who are
Interested In lumber and mine. Let no
newspaper hereafter assail any senator bo
cause he supports legislation in his own
peculiar interest."
llltcaeock of Nebraaka Meatlea.
Senator La Follettee referred to Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who bad In
terrupted him. as a "newspoper owner"
who had a direct Interest at stake.
"I it not Just aa fair for ms to criticise
the senator from Wisconsin," retorted
Hitchcock, "for advocating a duty on paper
in the interests of the great paper mills of
Wisconsin, to which the whole country
pays tribute T
Senator La Follette sold that ha did not
favor a duty on paper; that ho was In
favor of free print paper and would pro
pose a measure in that interest aa a direct
tariff measure. He objected to tho reci
procity bill, ho aaid, because tho news
papers would get free paper at the ex
pense of tho farmers, whoso duties oa their
product would be removed.
Bill Belteo It Title.
Mr. La Follette defended progressive re
publicans from the charge that they have
cnanged front oa tho tariff and are now
opposing a partial tariff revision as era
bodied in the reciprocity bill. He said the
progressives stood Just where they did in
the tariff fight of 0. but that the red
procity bill was not a true republican
measure.
"I oppose this bUI because It belie Its
title." said Senator La Follette. "It Is not
reciprocity. It violates every principle of
reciprocity as defined by republican prin
ciples and republican platforms."
Senator La Follette declared tho demo
cratic party had violated It own princi
ple In tho vote It had cast in the ssnate
oa the reciprocity bill by aligning with
the republican high tariff force.
"The democrats will havo to answer for
their Inconsistencies," said Mr. La Follette.
Freed aad Deeeeittoa.
Senator La Follette further denounced
the reciprocity bill as a fraud and decep
tion of the voter Ho said ho always had
been taught to believe that one of the most
reprehenslbls things In the category 0f
politics waa to cheat the voter, who had
seen ths opportunity to vote but a few
times for presidential candidates He ar
raigned tho party for not living up to its
creed as laid down in tho repub'lcaa cam
paign text book. Holding up that docu
ment he aaid it had been conspicuously
Ignored la the senate. He cited declara
tions of the party oa reciprocity principles
ar.d excoriated tho supporters of the pact
for not adhering to the party's oxpresbcd
declarations on reciprocity.
He called1 tho whole proposition a "con
fidence game." and cited what he said
would result in a loss of S40.j0.00 alone
