The antitrust-bill debate which opened
the House yesterday did not develop
much animation, although .there was a
fairly larse attendance in the galleries.
The rule under which the Houco was
to operate, however, precipitated a
lively dlfcwelon. The Democrats pro
tected 'lecrouelr against the rule be
cause it did not permit them to secure
a record vote on a substitute.
The bill to expedite antitrust prosecu
tions occasioned no debate. It passed
the House, as it did the Senate Tester
day, without a word of debate.
Powr (Ilep.. Mass.) made the open
In? argument for his side of the House
on the Judiciary Committee bill, and
Clayton (Dem.) opened for his side.
The others peakers were Thomas (Rep.,
N. C) and Talbert (Dem.. N. C).
The postofnee appropriation bill was
passed before the trust bills were
taken up. .The antitrust debate will be
resumed today.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. Grosvenor.
from the committee on rules presented to
the House today the special order for the
consideration of the anti-trust bills. It
provides for the consideration of both the
bills to expedite cases under the Sherman
law and tho Llttlefleld publicity bill.
Underwood (Dem. Ala.) urged the Houso
to vote down the previous question on the
rule, so as to afford an opportunity to
emend it.
Grosvenor said the terms of tho rule
were by no means unprecedented. The
majority, he said, would be held responsi
ble for whatever legislation -was enacted,
and that responsibility It was willing to
assume. The Democratic position, ho
said, could be developed In committee of
the whole. He was wllllnsr that tho coun
try should see the differences between the
conservatism of the bills to be presented
And the radicalism of the opposition.
"If you are certain that we shall offer
radical amendments, are you not willing
to co on record against our folly?" asked
Thayer (Mass.).
"We ore not willing to take up the
time of the House," answered Grosvenor,
"to allow some Individual gentleman on
the other side to make his own platform.
When any respectable number on the
other sldo get together, we will be willing
to meet them here or elsewhere,"
Clayton (Dem. Ala.) thereupon an
nounced that If It were a matter of saving
the time of the House he was willing to
surrender an hour which had been allotted
him for debato If the other sido would
permit the minority to qffer a substitute
or make a single motion to recommit.
"Tho gentleman knows I have no power
to accede to such an arrangement." said
Grosvenor. "and if I had I would not
do It."
Tho rule was then adopted. 10 to 107
a strictly party vote.
In accordance with the provision of the
rule, the Senate bill to expedite cases un
der the anti-trust law first was laid be
fore tho House. Llttlefleld offered a' ver
bal amendment to make It conform to the
bill as reported from the Judiciary com
mittee, and It was adopted. The bill then
was passed without a word of debate.
Under the rules, the House then re
solved Itself Into committee of the whole
and took up the publicity bill. It Tiavlng
been agreed that Llttlefleld should -control
the time on one side and De Armond
on the other. The rule Is for ten hours'
general debato and three hours under tho
five-minute rule, at the end of which time
the previous question Is to be considered
as ordered on the bill and pending amend
ments to its passage.
Xot a Party Measure.
Powers (Rep. Mass.) opened the debate.
He declared the pending bill was not a
party measure. Both sides of the Judi
ciary committee, he said, had labored
earnestly on the subject of trust legisla
tion. For 15 years there has been a grow.
Ing and increasing demand for some act
for the control of the great Industrial com
binations. Free and un trammeled com
petition did not exist The public was
convinced that the great transportation
companies gave favors to tho large pro
ducers which the small producers did not
enjoy. The pending bill, he said, might
be entitled properly "A bill to defend tho
American people In their industrial lib
erty." The combination of .industry, ho
Bald, was. the result 'of an economic evo
lution and could not be stopped. All that
could be done was to Insist that these
combinations should be kept well within
certain limits; that no advantage over its
smaller competitors should be allowed tho
big corporation In the shipment of goods.
He believed there was no trust that could
not be reached under the commerce clause
of tho Constitution.
The proposition of the other side to
reach the trust by removing the tariff, he
said, was futile, since there are trusts In
169 articles on the free list. In this con
nection. Powers said he-believed the time
had come when there should be a general
revision "of the tariff on other grounds,
not as a remedy to regulate trusts.
In concluding. Powers pointed out tho
fact that there was a growing socialistic
sentiment In this country, as evidenced by
the Increased vote of the party In Massa
chusetts last Autumn from 4000 to 40,093.
There were, he said, many Intelligent peo
ple who believed the Government should
proceed to take charge of the railroads
and other means of Interstate commerce.
It was Important, ho said, that these peo
ple should be made to understand by the
enactment of a bill like the pending one
that Congress proposed to hold these gi
gantic combinations in check.
Use Toxins Power.
Clayton of Alabama, a member of tho
Judiciary committee, who followed Pow
ers, agreed with him that there had been
no politics in the consideration of the sub
ject of regulating trusts In the commit
tee, but be Insisted that the methods pro
posed by Republicans and Democrats dif
fered radically. He and his associates, ho
said, believed that, in addition to the In
terstate commerce clause of the Constitu
tion, the taxing powers directly and In the
levying of customs duties could be and
should be Invoked. His side was not op
posed to publicity, but they did not regard
It as a cure. Clayton created much amuse
ment by recalling the attitude of the Re
publicans on the trust questions in the 56th
Congress, when they Insisted that they
were powerless to deal with the question
without Constitutional amendment. He
predicted that "corporate greed" would
never permit certain sections of the pend
ing bill to become a law. In conclusion.
Clayton described the pending bill as tho
"soothing stroke or a friendly hand.
What the Democrats wanted was action
that would mean something.
When the corcmlttaA am tVu. T-ai.
dent's veto of the bill to establish addi
tional terms oi court in the western Ju
dicial district of South Carolina was read.
When the House met today the question
was on the motion of Talbert (S. C) to
amend the motion of Underwood (Ala.)
to recommit the postofnee appropriation
bill so as to add .Instructions to the com
mittee to eliminate the appropriations for
special faclltles from Washington to New
Orleans, and from Kansas City to New
ton, Kan. Talbcrt's amendment was voted
down. 100 to UL
Underwood's motion then was defeated
without division, and the bill was passed.
HItt (HI.) presented the conference re
port on the diplomatic and consular ap
propriation bill, and It was adopted.
The Army general staff bill was sent
to conference. Hull (la.). Parker (N. J.)
and Sulzer (N. Y.) were named as con
ferees. Klutz (N. C) then announced the death
of his colleague. .Moody, which occurred
yesterday at Waynesvllle, N. C Appro
priate resolutions were adopted, a com
mittee appointed to attend the funeral,
and, at 5:10. as a further mark of respect,
the House adjourned.
SEW BAMCITUPTCY LAW SIGNED.
It Relieve Conditions anil Provides
New SnfcfirunrJ Anlnst Fraud.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S. The President
today signed the bill which amends the
bankruptcy law of 1SSS.
The bill modifies the existing law In sev
eral Important particular, the principal
one of which is a provision in regard to
pi ef erred creditors. Under the existing
law, those who had received payments
from a person who had soon afterward
been declared a bankrupt could not have
other claims posted upon without sur
rendering the amount received. This pro
vision was modified so as to allow the
creditors to retain the money received un
less the payment was fraudulent. This
change is in conformity with a decision of
the Supreme Court.
Another amendment provides four new
objections to a discharge, intended to
prevent persons from going through bank
ruptcy, the most Important of which are
the giving of a falee mercantile statement
and the making of a fraudulent transfer
of property. The bill nlso irovIdes that
It shall be an objection to a discharge If a
voluntary bankrupt seeks to go through
bankruptcy more thin once In six years.
Another amendment provides that the ap
pointment of a receiver for a corporation
which Is Insolvent Is an act of bank
ruptcy entitling the creditors to choose
til el r own trustees.
Another Important change Is one which
gives the 'Federal Court concurrent Juris
diction of suits to recover property which
has been fraudulently transferred. Other
amendments allow the wives of bankrupts
to testify In the proceedings: provide for
an Increase of the fees of referees and
trustees to an average of about SO per
cent over the' fees allowed by the present
law, and prohibit the courts from allowing
greater fees than the law permits In any
case, and add to the list of debts from
which a bankrupt cannot be relieved by
a discharge from bankruptcy. The new
liw Includes debts to wife and children
and alimony. The list of corporations
which may go Into" bankruptcy Is in
creased by adding mining corporations.

POWER OF MORMONISftl
SEXATOnS DEBATE ITS BEARING
OJf STATEHOOD.
AntUPolysramy Amendment May Be
Adopted President of Church
Controls Candidates for Office.
Discussion of the statehood bill in the
Senate yesterday turned on the ques
tion of polrzamy. and a( number of
Senators participated.
Galllnrer, replying to McComas. said,
that he was -m -favor of an amendment
to the statehood bill covering the ques
tion of polygamy as strongly and firmly
as possible.
The Influence of the Mormon Church
over polities occupied a large and
harp debate. Hale characterized the
debate as lnterestinc, valuable and
startling, because it had disclosed a
powerful religious organization "exert
ing Itself as a dominant, Totentlal
force" over the mind and action of Its
followers, which should be taken Into
account In f utcre' legislation.
Before Kean resumed his speech la
opposition to the bill the Senate went
Into executive session, and adjourned a
few minutes afterward.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. During the con
sideration of morning business In tho
"Senate, today a bill was passed authoriz
ing the Pittsburg. Carnegie & vestern
Railroad Company to construct a bridge
across tho Alleghany River at Pittsburg.
Quay then objected to tho passage of
any further bills by unanimous consent.
McCumber C. D.) moved to consider
the pure food bill passed by the House,
and on an aye and no vote the motion
prevailed. 40 to 18.
The bill was read, and an amendment
was agreed to providing that nothing in
the act should be held to apply to sub
stances or materials manufactured and
sold exclusively for use In the arts and
Industries, but only when manufactured
and solds as drugs or, foods.
Consideration was not concluded' at 1
o'clock, when the statehood bill came be
fore the Senate. The debate turned on
polygamy. McComas started It yesterday
by criticising the pending bill as being too
liberal. Galllnger. replying today, said
he was willing that as strong an amend
ment as could be drawn prohibiting po
lygamy should be Inserted In the bill.
Hale cltitlctsed th.e exercise of power by
the Mormon church. Warren asserted that
the Mormons exercised no control In his
state.
Dubois declared that no polygamist
could occupy any high political place with
out the consent of the first presidency of
the Mormon church. The same Influence,
he said, was exercised in New Mexico and
Arizona. He said that Idaho could con
trol the Mormon people whenever It so de
sired. If the Mormon people should open
ly, through their first presidency, interfere
In the politics of Idaho, he would guaran
tee to take the stump and disfranchise
every Mormon In one campaign.
Hale replied that the matter was a dark
clement that could not be penetrated by
the light that usually Illuminates and en
lightens communities generally .in the
states.
Teller said that the Mormon church is
all-powerful, and that whenever it spoke
through Its first presidency the great
body of the church responded to the de
mand that was made.
Rawlins (Utah) sp'oko of the proclama
tion of' the head of the 3Ionnon church
in 1SS0. declaring that there should be a
cessation of polygamy and that the Mor
mon church should be taken out of poll-'
tics and that Mormons -were free to ex
press their political preference ns they
saw fit. . Thereupon, he said, opposition
to the admission of Utah as a state was
removed. Ho declared, however, that the
Mormon church influence In politics In
Utah Is still an Important, factor.
Spdoncr Inquired if It was true tbit the
first presidency could dictate whether or

DENT IN 1904.

OF APPEALS.
not a Mormon should hold a public polit
ical office. Mr. Dubois answered the ques
tion by stating that no Mormon would run
for a high political office without the con
sent of the flrat presidency. v
Rawlins said that, when the approval is
given, the man goes forth with the bene
diction of the church.
"While the other man," Interjected Mr.
Hale, "rests under the frown of the
church?"
Rawlins, replying to Hale,, said he did
not know that this was the case with any
other church.
Answering Spooner, Rawlins said he did,
not care to enter 'upon the question as to'
whether the full scope of the power of
the Mormon church ever came to the
knowledge of the public.
Rawlins declared that there was a large
element which would overthrow, the
church domination in the affairs of the
state, because it was obnoxious to them.
The disposition to do this, he said. Is
growing, and in Utah conditions were im
proving. Replying to McComas, he ad
mitted that a majority of tho Legislature
V-
are members of the Mormon church, al
though, he said, they have not discrimi
nated against non-Mormons on religious
grounds.
Hale remarked that So, debate had been
Interestingly valuable and startling. It had
disclosed, he said, a powerful religious
organization exerting Itself as a dominant
potential force over the mind and action
of Its followers.
"It la. the power to bind and, loose." he
said, "if thero Is anything In the spirit
of American institutions. It is." he con
tinued, "that it' is never permissible on
the part of the authorities of religious or
ganizations to exercise control In temporal
matters over Its followers and to Influence
elections. This day has not been III
spent," he declared. "In bringing out
conditions that obtain where tho Mormon
church has secured its" lodgment." He
said the lessons taught ought to sink
into tho minds of Senators and should be
taken Into account In future legislation.
Patterson of Colorado said the chief de
sire of tho Mormons is to remain in favor
with the party In power. Patterson de
clared that If any sect was large enough
and strong enough to become a factor In
the political life of tho country, that
church would pursue tho same course as
the Mormon church.
McComas cited ,the law making Utah a
state, and said that. If tho (Mormons
"could be rid of this dark shadow, they
would reap the rewards of their toll and
of their trials. The abolition of polygamy
and the domination of a secret hierarchy
would meet with the applause and ap
proval of our people."
Quay said he "was not Just now pre
pared or authorized" to accept an amend
ment to the bill embodying the Edmunds
law and applying it to -Arizona and New
Mexico. The best way to settle that
question, he said, was to fix a day for a
vote on the bill.
McComas, continuing, characterized the
prohibition as contained In the Utah en
abling act as an Impotent pretense- of re
striction without any legal efficacy. He
hoped Congress would not -pass such a
bill and thus be recreant to the moral
sentiment of our country and mankind.
Kean, who had yielded the floor to first
one Senator and then another during the
entire day, started to continue his remarks
begun yesterday, when the Senate at 4:30
P . M. went Into executive session and at
5:40 P. M. adjourned until tomorrow.

Dr. Miles' Nervine
Cured Me.
Has
There li nothing so rood In cases of
chronic headache as Dr. Miles' Nervine. It
restores the disordered nerves to their nor
mal condition and banishes headache forever.
"My. trouble was headache,' chronic so as
to be almost continual. I had been in this
condition ever since I could remember and
I am now forty-seven years old. My father
was a great sufferer from the same complaint
and my son has shown signs of similar affec
tion. When the attacks would appear, my
stomach would often become affected and I
would grow dizzy and flint and often had
to quit my work and lie down. I am a sta
tionary enjineer and found it hard to hold a
place with "such a heavy handicap. About
sir years ajo I bejjan taking Dr. Miles' Re
storative Nervine and since that time I have
used in all. fourteen bottles. The number of
v bottles taken was not really required as I
.i " t i.i cl . - j r.
loinx: inc cure was compiciciy cuccicu aucr
taking the second bottle. Having scarcely
seen ths time in thirty years I was free from
headache, I could not believe the perma
nent cure to be made so soon, so I continued
its use until 1 was thoroughly convinced, b'i:
persons to whom I have recommended the
remedy have experienced equally gratifying
results, the only difference between tieir
case and mine Iving in the severity of the
trouble cured-" Edoar. W. WltsON, Alcott,
