(Continued from page 1.) the unwillingness of the upper body to hold aftor next Friday, notifying the house of tho resolution ndopted several days ago to the effect that no bills would bo received from the lower house nfter last Saturday. McColloch urged the motion as a matter of fairness to the house. He said that the house members should know of the attitude of the senate as carlyi as possible In the day, In order that tho lower branch might take ac tion, which otherwise would be de layed in transmitting unwelcome bills to the senate, An altercation took place between President Malarkey and Senator Joseph during the debate on this res olution. Malarkey stated that he wished to say something on the resolution. "You are supposed to leave the chair when you speak, are you not?" asked Joseph. "I know when to leave the chair and when not to," reported Malarkqy, growing crimson with anger. "But I am right, am I not?" har rasscd Joseph. "Senator Joseph, you are out of or der. Now be seated. I have had enough of this foolishness from that Bide of the house." I You are going to get more of It, I too," threatened Joseph, taking hiB seat. "I know that," Malarkey answered, "that's what you are here for, to ob struct progress." Tho naval militia abolishment bill was a special order In tho sennte for 2 o'clock this afternoon.

THE presidency of the United States entails heavy burdens and hard work long before the term of olllce actually begins. The campaigns for the nomination and the election usually occupy nearly a year of organization, press work, Btump speaking and conferences. It is after election, however, that the president elect's duties really begin to approximate those be will buve to as sume after the Inauguration. Policies must be formulated, the cabinet and other Important oltlcluls agreed upon, the Inaugural address written, the In augural ceremony, parade and display organized, many of the details having to be attended to by the president elect personally, and various party questions ironed out In tho different states and in the nation at large. President Elect Woodrow Wilson has not only hud all of these heavy duties to bear, but has also been governor of New Jersey, thus giving til in a double burden, either half of which would have proved too much for most men. Nor dues this Include all of bis task. New Jersey has become known as the "mother of trusts." To remove from her this stigma and to draft and have 'passed an entiro body of nntl-eorpora-itlon laws for tho stnto is the volun tary additional work assumed by Gov ernor Wilson. To this end ho has formulated and caused to bo drafted under his personal supervision seven Important bills which lie hopes to see enacted into law before he relinquishes tho governorship. Tho mere writing f these measures Is only a small part EDWIN 8. WALKER. of tho work connected with their pas sage. Keeping tho situation In band, holding conferences with tho legisla ture, crowding the bills through tho two houses and seeing that there Is no material delay and no Injurious amend ments aro features of tho program. Tho closing of Mr. Wilson's work In the state does not end even here. Thero are several minor measures in which bo is vitally Interested, such as reform of tho procedure In drawing juries, ubolltlon of railway grad. crossings, reform of tho tnxntlon laws and tho calling of n convention to amend tho constitution of New Jersey. The "Seven Sisters." Governor Wilson calls his nntl-trust bills tho "seven sisters." What Bonio of tho trust peoplo call them is not printed hero for reasons of propriety, although the new head of the harves ter trust is reported to have spoken of them ns tho seven commandments. Tho keynote of tho proposed legisla tion Is that "guilt is personal." In other words, It Is proposed to send somebody to jail. In tho past, except In a few minor InHtunees, It has been Impossible to get a conviction under tho criminal clause of tho Sherman null-trust law. American juries will not vote to send trust malefactors to prison. That, of course, Is under the federal !uv. Under theso proposed stnto laws the crimes for which trust directors and ollleers may bo criminal ly convicted nro nmro closely defined. If the bills aro enacted tho offending corporation may lose not only lis char ter, but the directors, dummy or other wise, mny lio convicted of a misde meanor, with n maximum penalty of three yours' Imprisonment or Jl.fKK) line. Holding companies aro also pre vented in future. Tho laws are not retroactive, so that holding companies already formed mny continue, provided they do none of tho things prohibited under the new statutes. Tho definition of a trust Is laid down as follows: A trust Is a combination or agreement between corporations, firms nr persons, any two or more of thorn, for the follow ing purposes, and such trust Is hereby de clared to be Illegal and Indictable: First. To creato or carry out restric tions In trade or to acquire a monopoly either In Intrastate or Interstate business or cummoree. Hocond. To limit or reduce the produc tion or Incrense the price of merchandise or of any commodity. Third. To prevent competition In man- nfneturlnir, Trmklhg. transporting, selling A woman la more or less backward from a lltorary point of vlow when she reads the lost chapter of a novel first After a man has fooled .around a fow years and failed to hit the nail of success on the head ho breaks Into the chronio knocker classs. l V.

To fix at any standard or fig ure whereby Its price to the publlo or con sumer ahull In any manner bo controlled any article or commodity of merchandise, produce or commerce Intended for sale, uso or consumption In New Jersoy or else where. Fifth. To mako any agreement by which they directly or Indirectly preclude a free and unrestricted competition among themselves or any purchasers or consum er! in tho sale or transportation of any article or commodity either by pooling:, withholding from the market or soiling at a fixed prloe or In any other manner by which the price nilKlit be affected. Sixth. To make any secret oral agree ment or arrive at any understanding without express agreement by which they directly or Indirectly preclude to a free and unrestricted competition among them selves or any purchasers or consumers In the sale or transportation of any article or commodity either by pooling, withhold ing from the market or selling at a fixed price or In any other manner by which the price might be affected.

SNAPSHOT OF MEHIDKNT RI.ECT WILSON. ures are not only broad and sweeping, naming every trust practice that bus caused public complaint, but are defi nite and clear In their language. In other words, they have teeth. They nro an answer to those who have ob jected that the president elect's speech es have been general and vague. They show that when he comes to otllclnl ac tion ho can get down to details. In fact, It is his policy to lay down gen eral principles in his speeches, but when administrative details are reach ed to be as explicit about particular evils as the case requires. There can bo no objection that ho Is vaguo or am biguous In theso unti trust bills. Tho mensures were drawn at Gov ernor Wilson's request by Chnnccllor Edwin It. Walker, who succeeded Su preme Court Justlco Mahlon Pitney as head of New Jersey's highest court Chancellor Walker was assisted by ex Judge Helmet Van Sycklo, nn eminent lawyer of tho state. They wero Intro duced by Senator J. Warren Davis, majority leader of tho stnto senate. Four of the bills wero referred to tho Judiciary CDiiunlttee, of which Sena tor Davis Is chairman, lint tho other three went to the corporations commit tee, and hereby bungs a tale. The head of the corporations commit tee wns not particularly friendly to the governor's proposed legislation, n tit stories wero soon filiating about Tren ton that the bills In his charge Would be delayed by extensive hearings. Tho da n wns to "string them along" until after March 3, when Woodrow Wilson would no longer be governor f New Jersey. Thereupon something happen ed, and the something wns quite char acteristic of the Wilson methods. The Iieinocrnts of the legislature wero call ed together In conference, tho three bills were taken out of the hands of the corporation committee anil referred with tho other four to Senator l)uvls" Judiciary committee, anil henceforth the talk of "stringing things along" was heard no more. Hearings nro be ing hold, of course, but they lire nil In Trenton nod not nil over tho state, as tho delay advocates proposed; neither Is their secret object to block progress until nfter Governor Wilson Is out of the statu. Future With Those Who Serve, One powerful tlguro who stood with Wilson In this fight was Senator .Tames F. Fielder, president of tho senate nnd future successor to tho governorship Wo would not say that the man who combs his hair over In nn effort to hldo his bald spot Is a liar at hoart. Charity covorg a multltudo of Bins, and tho tallor-nindo suit covers a mul titude of pads, (if. I r'J") I -, .V ' Kb vs.: 5?&A"ia-:X after Mr. Wilson becomes president of the United States. In his last mossage to tho legislature the governor paid n high tribute to Senator Fielder and to Uie other loyal legislators who havo up held him In his battle for reforms In New Jersey. Other notable Items In this farewell message, aside from thoso already mentioned, including radical revision of the corporation laws, further taxa ntlon reform, eliminating grade cross ings nnd advocating a state constitu tional convention, were a recommenda tion for commission government in nil cities nnd advocacy of n "full crew" bill for railroads. It wns In this mes sage that the fine pnssngo occurred de claring that the future belongs to those who serve without a selfish purpose. Every Indication Is that the Wilson anti-trust bills will pass the New Jer sey legislature nnd thnt ho will hnve an opportunity to sign them before re linquishing tho governorship. That would be a fitting ending for his work In the state. Taking It nil In all and aside from partisanship, is there nny finer example in American politics? This Is the sort of thing thnt nppenls to the imagination and on which his torlnns love to dwell. It Is at once an nusplclous ending of Mr. Wilson's work as governor nnd a prophecy of his work ns president. This man who has written so much history is now enact ing history. Trust Question National. As to the bearing of the proposed leg islation on his natlonul work the gov ernor hns refused to commit himself. When asked point blnnk ns to whether theso bills embodied his ideas of the way the nation Bhould deal with tho trusts lie answered rather dryly: "They embody ntiy ideas of the way New Jersey should deal with the ques tion." On this point we are free to form our own conclusions. Practically all of these New Jersey corporations do a na tional business. Tho abuses of which they are guilty nro not state, but na tional. Hecauso of our dual system of government the remedles.must bo both stnto nnd national. It Is well known thnt Governor Wilson himself believes Photo by Amorlcon Press Association. JAMKS P. F1ELDRII, thnt the federal nntl-trust laws should supplement and complete the state an tl trust laws. Tho bills, In brief, provide penalties for doing any of the nets included un der the definition of n trust, prevent tho extension of present holding com panies and the formation of new ones, provide that no fictitious or watered stock shall bo Isxucd, that no stock shall bo Issued for profits not yet earn ed, that no corporation shnll purchase another corporation unless its business bo thu same and then shall not issue stock In nn amount greater than the sum actually paid In cash or Its equiva lent, that the statement of such pur chases shall be filed with the secretary of state, that any falHo statement shall bo a misdemeanor, that any purchase fur the purpose of restraining trade or creating a monopoly shall llkewlso be n misdemeanor, thnt before nny mcrg er of corporations Is permitted in fu ture the approval of the board of pub lic nllllllos commissioners must lie ob tained, and that there nliall bo no dis crimination between different sections or communities of the stale. Rising Above Self Interest. One effect of this legislation may be to deprive the stale of New Jersey of more than jf.'l.fUKi.iKHt annual revenue. It Is a hopeful fact ami n Hue com mentary on human nature that I his phase of the question has had little ef fect In the stale. The people of New Jersey nro showing the dlspnsll Ion to rise iilinve nil selfish consldenillons in the mailer and to Icglslnle only for what they tlduk right and bcnellclal to the peoplo of the entire country. It Is nlso hopeful nnd not n Utile surprising that the corpora I Inns them selves nro making Utile open light against the bills. They evidently hnve concluded to face the Inevitable nnd make the best of It, There lire only n few slates left thnt offer special Inducements to corpora tions to orgmil.o miller their taws. These nicMsnicM will take Now Jersey nut of this class and will plnco her abreast of the other slates having anti trust legislation. That these laws will go nny great way toward solving the trust question Is not contended. This Is national and must be dealt with by the nation. Governor Wilson by these bills Is nhuply clearing the ground for tin kling the bigger question, which he will meet as President Wilson.

Senator Webb of Tennessee and His Adventure In War i ONE would have to search widely In tho literature relating to America's big men, pust and present, to tlt.tl a more roman tic personality than Senator William Itobert Webb of Tennessee. Senator Webb Just recently received his high olllce, nnd it was fated to be in his keeping but a brief period, bub tho temporary honor was well deserv ed nnd fitting reward to him. "Old Sawney" Webb, ns he is known to thousands of men he once taught In school, is little short of an idol In Ten nessee. This picturesque personnge. seventy one yenrs old nnd vigorous for his ad vanced years, was In the thick of fight ing when tho fighting wns good and hns been n dynamic force for advance ment in his state. Ho wns elected to the senate for the short term from Tennessee to fill the sent made vacant by the death of Rob ert Love Taylor. As a captain in the Confederate army Senator Webb onco had one of the oddest adventures thnt could befall a soldier. Three days before the surren der of Lee at Appomattox, in April. 18(15, Webb wns held as a prisoner of war In the stockade about Castle Wil liam on Governors Islnnd. He had been brought north from Virginia only ono day before. Webb could look over the stocknde toward the lower end of Manhattan and could see the city easi ly. Although he hnd been so bndly In jured thnt ho could not march with the Infantry nnd hnd changed to the cav alry nrm, he seemed to see only tho city wharfs nnd not tho -100 yards of water In the channel between. After dark ho climbed the stockade nnd slip ped from tho wall Into the buy. Tho chill of early April wns still In tho water. In spite of It Webb swam ncross to a point Just below Castle Carden, now the Aquarium, nnd lifted himself upon tho dock. Ho wore a faded Confederate uniform nnd found himself enjoying the doubtful freedom of a hostile city chid in this garb and wringing wet. A citizen spoke to him In Iiattery park. "Who are you?" ho snld. "How did you come to fall In?" "I swum across from the islnnd." Webb nnswered. "I escaped from the prison stocknde over thero. I nm Cap tain Webb of tho Confederate army." Tho citizen laughed and passed on. Thero with the lights of tho prison Photo by American Press Association. HKNATOIl WILMAM ItOlllllIT WII1III. twinkling just across the channel sev eral other loungers and pnsscrshy ask ed Webb tlio sau.u questions and got the same answer. Most of them, too, laughed. Ono told the bedraggled stranger that he wns lucky to get out of the water If he hnd fallen in when he was drunk. Webb stayed lit thu idty for three duys wearing bis uni form nnd telling every one who asked for Ills story the plain truth. Iioubt less if the war had gone on for some time, he might have been retaken. As II, was be went free. To Webb's old buys the honor done their schoolmaster will be a delight. Ills scholars are scattered fur. but are Idckest In middle Tennessee, vhcie he has been leaching now for forty three years. Webb's methods lire a by word In all that part of the n try, carried by the thousands of buys bo has taught nnd sent out, llrst from Culleoliii d, since ISStl, from Hell- buckle. Head what ouu of thoso boys said about him: "'Old Sawney's' learning didn't liavo any frills," he snld enthusiastically. "No, sir! Vou went ninl sat on n hard bench, and be taught you with a I lor me In one hand and a Humor h) the other, and it good selection of thrash ing sticks behliiil him. If you dldu't work and obey ho stood you up and thrashed you and sat you down : the hard bench again." Ills liilluciico upon education In Ten nessee litis been tremendous. It Is Inrm'ly owing to bis efforts, and those nf his pupils who have gmio out ns teachers, that thero are so mill y good preparatory schools In middle Tennes see today. Webb has been buck of much of the belter selusil legislation that has been enacted in his blnto ill recent years.
