PACIFIG TRUSTS ARE SOUGHT Congress Leaders Think Leg Nation on Subject Now Should Be Limited. CURRENCY BILL HASTENED Passage by Senate Before December 20 Xow Kegarried as Certain, Two Weeks' Holiday Kc ss Even Iosible. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. President Wilson's views on trust legislation are to be sought this week by Concres- vional leader. The last week has de veloped a pronounced view among Democratic members of the Senate that the anti-trust acts of the present sea slon of Congress should be few and fchould affect only the more obviously need'-d reforms in tiie lield of com hination and corporation activity. While the PresMent has announced his purpo.se to send a special trust messace to Consress In the near future. the scope of the communication has not yet been outlined. The demands of Democratic leaders for speedy action on the currency re form bill have had a marked effect on the Senate. Conlident predictions are now made that the bill will pass that body before December 20 end that an adjustment of differences between enatend Honse can be reached abort, ly after that time. Itcpoollcana Avoid Chars;'. Republican members have made it i l.'ar they do not wish to bo charged with delay of -currency reform. The House .will have before it the rominff week Alaskan railroad legis lation; the Hensley "naval holiday" resolution. immigration regulation, high cost of living Investigations, the lobby committee's report and numerous other matters of compelling Interest. It is the hope of House leaders now that the Senate will be -able to com plete the currency bill so that a two weeks' recess can be taken for the holiday season. The early trust bills probably will be aimed at the abolishment of in terlocking directorates and holding companies, and possibly of voting trusts and "fiscal agencies." Legisla tion strengthening the rights of minor, ity stockholders will also be asked for and attempts will be made to strengthen the Sherman law as to get rid of the effect of the Supreme Court's decision that "reasonable" restraints of trade are not unlawful. Aatl-Trast Bllla Xaameroos. Chairman Ncwlands of the Senate interstate commerce committee favors the creation of an "interstate trade commission" as one of the most -important steps toward tthorough con trol of "big business." He baa a bill that would give this commission gen eral oversight over corporations, with power to make original Investigations and report conditions to the Attorney General for any necessary prosecutions. The commission also will carry out Supreme Court decrees dissolving con victed trusts. Some of the other bills now before the Senate, however, go much further in the rigid control they would impose. The Brlstow bill would give an indus trial commission power to determine In advance whether a corporation's stock was "watered." whether it had paid too much to the fiscal agent who financed it. whether its prices were unreasonable or its methods of stifling competition Illegal: and authority to keep out of Interstate business any corporations whose methods it did not approve. E CUTTERS NEEDED Pl.t A MADE FOR SERVICE ON OfEAX, LAKES AND RIVERS. oaamaaaaat Polats Oat That Property aved llai Beea Large la Fro aortioa to An. oa at Kspeaded. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. An earnest pica that Congress have more regard for the needs of th revenue cutter scr-vli-e an'd that it provide more vessels to cite aid on the high seas, the Great Iikes and the Ohio and Mississippi riv ers has been made to Secretary McAdno by Captain E. II. Bertholf. commandant of the service. 'upturn Bertholf set forth in detail ?me of the things done by the service In the last fiscal year in saving lives and property endangered by shipwreck ;md disaster. By its efforts, he re ported, 337 lives were saved. S7B5 per sons on board vessels In distress were assisted and vessels valued at $10,607. 710 were assisted in time of need. The cutters removed or destroyed tl dere licts. All' this was done for JI.i71.531. about 12000 less than Congress appro priated, although IS cruising cutters and IS harbor vessels were employed. Figured on a monetary basis the ser vice saved about $4.30 for every dollar expended. The report urges the replacing of the cutters Perry. Woodbury, Manhattan and Winona with modern vessels esti mated to cost about 1925.000 In all. The Perry was lost In Bering sea in 110. The Woodbury is a veteran of 49 years, the Manhattan of 40 years, and the Wi nona of S3 years' service. The point is made by the command ant that the service Is in a critical situation regarding the recruiting of its commissioned personnel. Seven va cancies exist which cannot at present bo filled. Congress Is urged to author ize seven additional cadet ships in ISIS and to make permanent authorisation In the following year for twelve cadets and cadet engineers. Captain Bertholf commends the pro posed consolidation of the revenue cut ter and Ufesavlng service Into the coast guard, declaring It would result In increased efficiency.

Derlaloaa Are Likely fcooe. Judge Galloway probably will render decisions in both cases from the bench and appeals will be taken Immediately. However, it. is not probable that the cases will be finally adjudicated before the middle of January. As proof of their contention that pro hibition does prohibit, the anti-saloon element calls attention to the fact that not a single person was arrested last week the first week, in the history of the city the saloons were closed on a charge of intoxication. Heretofore, it is said. Intoxicated persons were ar rested dally. Several of tho saloons are onen. but only soft drinks are being sold, the owners hoping to make enough to meet expenses during the legal fight.

JAPAN TRADE Lower Nipponese Tariff Prom ises Wider Market for Various' Products. COMPETITION TO BE KEEN United states as Whole In Better Position to Prorit Than Rival, but May Be Forced to Ac cept Small Profits. TOKIO. Dec. 7. Negotiations are un der way between the Japanese Foreign Office and Thomas Sammons. United States Consul-General at Yokohama. for an Informal understanding where by Pacific Coast products may be in troduced into Japan in large quanti ties as the result of a proposed lower ing of Japan's tariff. Thet-e negotia tions are closely allied with the study by both countries of the effect of the opening of the Panama Canal on com merce. If Japan accords reductions to Pacific Coast products, especially In canned goods. California wines, nuts, dried fruits, wheat, flour and lumber, Japan will expect some sort of recipro cal treatment. For Instance. Japanese merchants are specially desirous of obtaining more favorable schedules from the United .States on silk fabrics, and It was understood here that the new tariff bill provided for some reduction. Japaaeoe Market Kb la reed. With Japan looking forward to a big extension in trade, both In North and South America, the Investigations here indicate that the United States on her part should be benefited greatly by the opening of the Canal In an increased trade to Japan and its colonies. The exportation of products from the United States to Japan Is augmenting more quickly than from other parts of the world. The principal products, includ ing raw cotton, metals, machinery. Iron and steel products and kerosene, come to Japan chiefly from the Atlantic Coast by railroad and ocean, and the Panama waterway, with reduced freight rates and reduced time of transit, should enlarge the markets consid erably. Experience here shows that the American trader usually succeeds In the Far East, but owing to the keen competition It will be necessary for him to accept small profits In certain lines, and above all keep continually In touch with prevailing conditions and trade opportunities. An enlarged market for American goods will be found in Corea after the Canal's opening In consequence of the lower freights and quicker delivery. The importation would Include Amer ican machinery for mines and railways, steel for bridges, automobiles, cotton manufactures and rice from Texas and Louisiana. Despite the enormous rice crop In Japan, the harvest Is not suf ficient to feed Its population, and im portation is necessary. East to W'la Cracked Crabs. Investigation In Hokkaido, the north ern Island of Japan, shows likelihood of a considerable Increase of export to the United States, especially, beans, canned crabs, shrimp and sardines, which are in great demand In the At lantic Coast states. For two years there has been a spirited competition between the European and the Amer ican buyers for the canned crab of Hokkaido. On account of the better shipping facilities the European buy ers have been enabled to pay a higher price. Aa most of these crabs go to New York, buyers will no doubt ship by direct steamer from Yokohama to New York. The same is true of the bean trade, the demand in the United States for Hokkaido beans being larger every every year. There also is a big de mand in New York and the Atlantic cities for Japanese oak and timber. This Is now bought by the Germans and the British, shipped to Europe i Sues and reshlppcd to New York. With the opening of the Panama Canal American buyers will doubtless purchase directly and have their con signments shipped by way of American waterway, thus saving the profit that goes to German and British merchants. Thua both In exports and In Imports the Atlantlo seaboard will benefit In trade by the completion of the Canal. FOREIGNERS HELD SACRED fConllnued From First Paita.) torest in the election.

GALE RAGING AT VKRA CRUZ Warships at Tuxpan Check Depre dations by Insurgents. VERA CRUZ. Dec. 7. A heavy north gale has been raging since yesterday, but began to abate toward nightfall.
