Formal teps to start the Administration, anti trust legislation through Congress will be taken tomorrow by the House rules committee, when it will meet to formu late a special rule for the expeditious passage of the three bills which make up the anti-trust programme. House leaders do not expect to have the ruTe brought before it before next Tuesday, but its adoption is assured. House leaders today were interested in a report that in case the Senate finds it impossible to put through all the trust legislation which the House will pass and get away from Washington about July 15, an effort will be made to effect a compromise, put through part of this legislation and go home. Compromise Plan Outlined. According to this plan, the Senate :wou3d provide nothing further than the creation of an interstate trade com mission, with authority to investigate Interlocking directorates, holding com panies, stock ownership of competitive concerns, railway capitalization and kindred subjects and make a report at the next session of Congress. There are many Democratic Senators who are convinced that the Senate can not hope to put through the sub-committee's trust bill inside of two months at the least. Kight Sessions Coming: Soon, The tolls exemption repeal debate probably will not be out of the way be fore May 24, when Democratic leader? expect a vote and there are eight ap propriation bills which the Senate has not even had a look at yet to be taken up and passed.

ARBITRATION IS ASKED SENATOR WOULD SUBMIT ISSUE OF CANAL. TOI.LS. Real Item, Saya McLean, la Cargo, and Not Coat of Carrying It Korty Milea Congrcaa Scored. WASHINGTON, May 15. Arbitration of the Panama tolls question was ad vocated in tne Senate today by Senator McLean, Republican, of Connecticut. Unless such a course was pursued, he predicted the "pretty little bird of peace the United States has been talk ing about will be known to the world as a raven instead of a dove." "If we can get our eyes above the toll-gate in the canal," Senator McLean said, "we will see at once that the item of real consequence is the cargo and not the pittance paid for bringing it 40 miles. The item of consequence is the cargo, who produced it, who owns it, where it is to be sold and at what price. We can endure the trans portation of our merchandise in for eign bottoms to be sold at a profit; we can -All afford to transport foreign goods in our own ships to be sold in our own markets for less than the cost of manufacture in our own factories. "It seems to be generally conceded that confidence has left this country for the present," the Senator said. "Is it not about time we should acknowl edge the cause of its departure? Is it not . about time we should admit that it is a clear case of too much Con gress? And now, is it worth while for Congress to deprive us of our confi- aence in our neighbors? Tou cannot get confidence abroad if you sidestep your treaty obligations." oriental mm HELD UP AT RONDO Mail Car Dynamited by Two Highwaymen but Nothing of Value Is Obtained.
