Impervious to challenge for cause. The completion of a jury Is therefore considered a matter of weeks. Only a half session of court was held today, because of a l.os Anreles pri mary election.

Preston said that he had read extensively about the cases and bad an opinion that the Times was destroyed by sympathisers of labor unions, which It would take much evi dence to remove. He added, however, that he had formed no opinion cover ing the guilt of the defendant. "I would not want to be tried by a man of my feeling." explained Preston, and he Immediately was challenged by the defense for actual bias. Aatt-I nlnm Feeling Stroeg. Interrocatlon by the state developed that Preston formed his opinion con cerning the Times explosion, not only as a result of suit he read, but from conversations with "radical elementa" of unions before and after the disaster. "I've known several unionists very Intimately." explained Preston, "and tfcey remarked that It was too bad tt was not General Otis himself blown up. and from my experience with the unions 1 did net put such a thing be yond them."

Executive Warm in Ills Answer to Banquet Speaker Who Asserts Wholly New Policy Should Replace Sherman Law. PITTSUBRO. Oct. SI. President Taffs second swing- around the circuit came to an end here today In the most enthusiastic and by far the noisiest demonstration experienced In the 13.000 miles he has traveled. Pittsburg cele brated the centennial of steam naviga tion on Western rivers and Mr. Taft was the star attraction. The police estimate that there were loO'.OOO persons at the wharf on the Monongahela River when the President was taken aboard the steamboat Vir ginia to review the "fleet" anchored there. For five minutes after the Presiden tial automobile turned down to the river bank every whistle within several miles was tied down. The noise died down long enough for Mrs. Alice Roose velt Longworth to christen a replica of the New Orleans, the first steamboat on Western waters, which was com manded by her great grandfather, Nicholas Roosevelt. Taft Praises Roosevelt. The President spoke briefly, praising ex-President Roosevelt for his state ment In behalf of the Panama Canal, but when the Virginia, the flagship of the 'fleet, turned out Into the stream the din started again. For more than an hour and a half the Virginia, with the President In the pilot-house, steamed down the Monongahela, up the Allegheny, down the Ohio and then back to the wharf. The noise was so deafening at times that the President was compelled to retire to the pilot house to "hear himself think." He re viewed more than 40 steamboats of as sorted sixes and speeds, hundreds of motor-boats, rowboats and canoes and scores of barges and Government dredges. It was such a fleet, the Pres ident said, ss he had never seen be fore. Taft brought his visit to Pittsburg to a close tonight with a speech at the banquet of the Chamber of Commerce, where he listened to a plea for the re peal of the Sherman anti-trust law by Martin W. Littleton, Representative In Congress from New York, and a mem ber of the committee that la Investi gating the Un'ted States Steel Corpor ation. Llrtletoa Wants New Policy. Mr. Littleton quoted both ex-Presl-dent Roosevelt and Mr. Taft as at one time or another naving oeen wiumj to have the Sherman law amended. He declared that there was before the Na tion In ths solving of the "trust" ques tion the most difficult snd far-reaching problem affecting Its internal peace and progress. "It seems clear to me," said Mr. Lit tleton, "that the Sherman law cannot possibly be made effective In the ex termination of the real evil without carrying with It too large a sacrifice of the whole Industrial fabric and that It should be repealed and a new policy or scheme of legislation Inaugurated." Mr. Littleton suggested that every corporation before It entered Inter state business, be required to submit Its Incorporation. Its status. Its true condition, to a board created for that purpose and to obtain a license to do Interstate business. The charter, he said, should be formal and definite and recite the terms f the grsnC It should be made subject to for feiture for violation of its provisions. With such machinery to start with. Mr. Littleton said, "specific laws for the guidance and control" of Inter state cqneerns could be psssed by Congress. Competition Kot t Be Coddled. -The common law has been recited frequently to sustain the Sherman anti trust law." said Mr. Littleton. "But you will search In vain for any com mon law which vaguely declares that "every contract, combination or agree ment in restraint of trade shall be un- la"The real vice In the treatment of the whole problem is in the attempt to legislate solely against the result or effect of a series of acts. of especially defining and prohibiting these acts. " ... , "Competition Is not a concrete thing to be preserved, to be strangled to death by superior strength unjustly used. It must be free, but not by cod dling the Inefficient or holding every one back for the laggard. "The Federal Government is supreme in the sphere of lnterestate commerce and it should challenge every cor porate concern seeking entrance Into that field and compel It to conform to a certain standard. "If the states continue to Issue blan ket charters with no safeguards and men choose to clothe their enterprises with these charters, the Federal Gov ernment could simply reject them as unfit agencies to enter upon the great field of interstate commerce. Is seems to me that we could then proceed to enact some specific laws for their guidance and control. They should be drafted as an industrial code, prohibit ing the stifling of competition, seek ing rebates from railroads, the pur chasing bv one corporation of the stock and control of another, and all the various other means used to obtain undue advantago In trade." r,Tjrr5Trr FAR VH in tha j. visioN.; Lens -iS-i Thompson's Kryptok Lensea have no lines nor ridges in the lens.
