Anti-Trust Law O. K. In discussing the anti-trust law, the President says it needs no amend ment. "The object of the law is to sup press the abuses of (business, and not KTrrSto one organization, has reduced the costs of production and made profits thereby, and took no advantage of its size to stifle competition.

Favors National Control. Therefore the President recom mends the enactment of a law for the formation of corporations engaged In interstate trade under a Federal portion bringing the entire forestry license, protecting them from undue ' service into the scope of the Investl interference by states, and providing i gallon he stricken out. for the issuing of slock only for the Would Cleanse Newspapers. paid in value in cash or property whose value has Deen ascenaineu Dy the Federal authorities.

He also proposes to prohibit cor porations from acquiring stock In other corporations. In discussing the possible objection to his plans, the President says re cent decisions have been so sweeping that only three doors are open to corporations. They must resolve themselves Into tiheir component parts with loss to themselves, "and to the country." They must run In defiance of the law or as a third pos sibility they can accept his charter plan.

Pincbot's Letter to Dolliver Stirs Administration FORESTER'S JOB IN DANGER Congressman Fitzgerald Says Tall is Trying to Climb on Band Wagon Haywood Spouts Special to The Evening Review. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Another special meeting of the Cabinet has been called for this afternoon to further consider steps to be taken In connection with the letter written to Senator DolMver by Forester Uifford Pinchot, upholding L. R. Cilavis. who was deposed as chief of the field di vision of the General Land Olllce by Secretary Ballinger of the Depart ment of the Interior. This matter has become the absorbing question of the day. and the anticipated out come Us the dismissal of Pluchot from the Government service. Ballinger was closeted with President Taft Mils morning, and while no Information as to the con ference Is obtainable, no one doubts that Plnchot's letter was the subject of discussion. Tuft Rising From 1,1(1. The House today adopted a special rule allowing Immediate considera tion of the resolution calling for an Investigation of the so-called 1ml llnger-I'lnchot controversy. Repre gen.tatlve Fitzgerald, In opposing the resolution, declared' that Its real object was to allow President Taft to get on the band wagon "Taft has sat on the lid as long as he dares," said Fitzgerald. He demanded that the investigation be narrowed down to lliillingcr and Pinchot alone, proposing that the Representative Murphy today In- traduced in the House a bill seeking to -bar from the malls all publications containing accounts of divorce suits. trials for assaults or seduction or other offenses against morals. The measure fixes the punishment for violation at imprisonment from 3 months to 2 j'ears. GLAVIS OPENLY VI'HKLD I1Y FORESTER PINCHOT. Letter to Dolliver Causes Meeting of Taft and Cabinet, and New Forester May lMl Ri'sult. WASHINGTON, Jnn. 6. The reading in the Senate today of a letter from Gilford Pinchot, Chief Forester, to Senator Dolliver, of the Senate committee on ngrlculture. in which a direct slap at President Taft takes the form of a positive endorse ment of L. R. Glavis and an intima tion that the President did not know what he was doing when he ordered the removal of the special agent, put a new face on the Balllngor-Plnchot controversy. It was followed by a hurried meeting of the Cabinet, and It is said In Washington tonight that some action as to Mr. Plnchot's course Is not unexpected. Karly Removal hxiMM'tril. This is taken to mean that the President will remove Pinchot at an early date. The President Issued some time ago an order that no subordinate In any Government de partment should disclose any infor mation to Congress except through the head of his department. The letter of Pinchot addressed to Dol liver clearly is a violation ot this order. Pinchot in his letter upholds Glavis. He describes him as the most vigorous defender of the peo ple's Interests," despite the fact thai the President has declared mm mini to remain In the public service. The former assertion is made that the Cunningham coal lands were about to go to fraudulent claimants until Glavisi and the Forestry Bureau offi cials took a hand. This impugns the intentions of high officials or tne in terior Department, and Is said to have aroused Mr. Taft's keen re sentment. Haywood's Oratorical Jug. LYNN. Mass.. Jan. 7. "Theodore Roosevelt would shoot a Spaniard In the back and them write a book about it." Tills and many other declarations were included In a speech made here today by William D. Haywood, former secretary of the Western Federation of Miners. He also characterised Governor Drrap r of Massachusetts, as a "pink and whtte politician like some of the former executives of Idaho, like whom he also lacked nerve." Hay wood declared that Draper did not dare remain in Massachusetts during the Ludlow strike, but quickly "beat It" for Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Hamilton have returned from Berkeley, Calif. Dr. W. S. Hamilton was in Port land Thursday. SCHOOL DISTHIST CHANGES ARK MADK. County Court Also Appoints Several lloud Supervisors, Two of Them in One District. School district matters occupied most oif today's sessiou of the Coun ty Court. In one of these, invulving the division of District No. 45, on Hubbard Creek, near Millwood, there was a spirited controversy between 10. 13. Eimultt, heading the petition ers for the division, and K. R. Clarke, representing the remonstrat ors. A compromise was finally ef fected, and the petition was granted. With 13 children obliged to go 4 miles to the present 6chool, the peti tioners asked for a division east and west directly through the center of the district, comprising 60 sections of land. The remonstrators, with an Indebtedness of $1500 hanging over the new school house in the dis trict, objected to giving up so much taxable land. They linally agreed, however, to the formation of another district after a modification of Its proposed boundaries. The new dis trict announces Its Intention of building a $500 school house at once. Continued from the previous term of court, tho proiiosition to divide School District No. 39. embracing tho new town of Sutherlln, again came up before the court,, but In such a shape that the court was un able to Hike definite action, and the matter was postponed until the next term. Taxpayers living on the west side of the S. P. R. R.. track that penetrates the district are attempt ing to have a district set oft for themselves alone. Those living in and near Sutherlln on the east side of the track are figuring on a new school house and therefore objoct to any taxable property being cut off from them. The court granted the petition of O. H. lleyers, changing the bound aries of the Canyonvllle school dis trict, No. 8, so as to throw Into Dis trict No. 15, Days Creek, all of Mr. lleyers' property not already In the latter district.
