CLAYTON BILL DISCUSSED Provision IegalizIng- Leber and Ag- ricultural Unions Vigorously De fended Stock Ownership Section Criticised. i WASHINGTON. May 23. President Wilson will bo satisfied with nothing less than the passage through both houses of Congress, at the present ses sion, of the anti-trust legislation re cently agreed on. This was made clear today by officials close to the Admin istration. His attitude was made known in answer to suggestions that some leaders at the capital believed it would - be sufficient to pass the anti-trust bills in the House and only agree on a time for a vote next session In the Senate. In the House today the Clayton bill to supplement the present laws against trusts, the second of the Administra tion anti-trust measures, was dls 1 iissed. General debate on the bill Jjrobably will be concluded on Tuesday. Jt will be followed by the railroad se curities bill. Plea for Delay Is Made. A plea that the writing of the anti trust programme into law be delayed until next session, or, if possible, until the next Congress, was made by Rep resentative Dyer, of Missouri, in the debate on the Clayton bill. Representative Floyd, of Arkansas, a member of the judiciary subcommit tee which framed the Clayton bill, vig orously supported the measure and urged Democrats, Republicans and Pro gressives to vote for it. He particu larly defended the section of the hill legalizing the existence and operation of labor and agricultural unions, say ing It was what labor leaders had asked for. He quoted from the testi mony of President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, before the Judiciary committee to show that Mr. Gompers had asked for Just' what was put in the bill. . Holding Companies Bill Criticised. Representative Nelson, of Wisconsin, Republican member of the Judiciary committee, said that while he would support the Administration trade com mission bill, he was opposed to the Clayton measure. He reviewed the bill In detail and said it would weaken the Sherman anti-trust law and would joave the enforcement of the law en tirely in the hands of the Attorney General instead of making it self-enforcing. The bill, he insisted, would not dissolve holding cnpanies now organised. In forbidding interlocking director ates, he contended the measure did not reach the root of the evil, but would permit common stock ownership of pseudo-competing corporations to stifle competition. IAUNI IU tit HthUltU Sl'FFRAGISTS TO DISPROVE' RACE SUICIDE CHARGES. ly Bona Fide Mothers to Have Part In Proceedings at Grand- Cen--trnl Palace Exhibits. . NEW YORK. May 16. (Special.) An anti-suffrage man, who dropped in yes terday at the Grand Central Palace, where carpenters and painters were at work on the booths for the Better Ba bies Contest, glanced at the signs above two of the booths and nearly gave way at the knees with surprise. "The Woman Suffrage Party," read one ffign. "The Woman's Political Union," said the other. - "What." asked the anti-suffrage man, In a dazed way, "have suffragists got to do with babies?" The two organizations promise to produce during the seven days of the show so many real, live proofs that suf fragists do have babies healthy ba bies, prize babies that no anti will ever again dare to hint that votes for women make for race suicide. ,.The Woman's Political Union has even barred from the committee In charge of the booth all women who haven't babies of their' own. Mothers will make speeches each afternoon, tell ing how mother needs the vote to se cure pure milk and better schools and more playgrounds for baby. Among the speakers are Mrs. John Rogers, Mrs. Charles Beajd, Mrs. Nora Blatch de Forest. Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse, Mrs. John Winters Brannan and Dr. Josephine Baker. The only one of these who is not a mother Is Dr. Baker. As she is director if child hygiene for the City of New York, the Woman's Political Union thought she might be asked to speak, nevertheless. "' Mors than 1500 babies were entered 530 from Manhattan. 570 from the Bronx, 400 from Brooklyn and 60 from Queens County. These en tries are culled from the better babies contestB that have been held in the four boroughs during- the last few months. Iany clubs and organizations are to be represented. The School of Mother-' craft will show a model nursery. One arcade Is reserved for the judging, which will be dono by physicians. Prlies are offered for the best babies, among them one of J5 for the finest baby with a suffragette mother. HAWTHORNE LETTERS SOLD l'.lght Written A"hen He Was Consul at Liverpool Bring 2-79.50.

"I am unable to account for it," said Mr. Ronald; "it is an amazing, mys terious gift he possesses." Young Ferrero was taken to Marl borough House to see Queen Alexan dra. When her Majesty entered the room where the boy was waiting with his father and mother, Willy gallarjtly kissed the Queen's hand. She respond ed with a salute on his forehead.

With a rab bit's hind leg for a thumb bone and a quart of another man's blood in his veins, Bertrand Williams, 35 years old, is just recovering from what physi cians say was one of the most delicate operations of its kind ev"er performed here. Last Fall Williams came to Glenvilie Hospital suffering from a peculiar bone malady. A few weeks ago Wil liams returned to the hospital with the same peculiar affection In his hand. It was found that his blood had also been poisoned. The hind leg of a healthy rabbit was obtained and the bone put In place of the affected bone. The wound healed rapidly. The phy sician feared that the tained blood would carry the affection to another spot, so it was decided to replace most of Williams' blood also. Jacob Mahring. a friend of Williams, volunteered to give a quart of his blood. A like amount of Williams' blood was drained off and Mahring's transferred to his friend's veins suc cessfully. A few days later Williams left, practically cured, . Bay City Dock Beln gPushed. J3AY CITY. Or.; May 23. (Special.) The first unit of Bay City municipal dock is under construction. C. D.

Ad v. Ma. A.N JJ ilKS. THOMAS C. SMITH. If : CRUELTY OF BALKAN Atrocities Called Unparalleled by Carnegie Peace Commis sion After Inquiry. ALL NATIONS ARE BLAMED Story of Massacres and Burning of Towns in Conflict Zone Told In Exhaustive Report Prob lem Held Hopeless. NEW YORK. May 23. Results of an exhaustive Investigation into the' con ditions In the Balkans during and fol lowing the wars of 1912 and 1913, with a view to. clarifying public opinion, which has been baffled by conflicting reports and unauthentic detail, were made public by the Balkan commission of inquiry of the Carnegie Endowment tor International Peace. Pessimism based on the terrible moral consequences of a war which was a series of unutterable atrocities, characterizes the conclusions of the commission as to. the possibilities of immediate peace or stability among the Balkan nations. The situation at present, in the final judgment of the commission, is hardly susceptible of a pacific solution. "Under present con ditions," reads the . report, "the case seems well-nigh hopeless." The report, which contains sevsn chapters and a preface by Nicholas Murray Butler", Is the work -of the fol lowing members of the commission: Dr. Josef Redlich, professor in the University of Vienna, ' Austria; Baron d'Estournelles de Constant and M. Jus tin Codart, lawyer and member of the Chamber of Deputies of France; Dr. Walther Schucklng. professor at the University of Marburg. Germany; Francis W. Hirst, editor at the Econo mist; Dr. H. N. 'Brailsford, journalist, of Great Britain: Professor Paul Mil toukov, member of the Russian Douma. and Dr. Samuel T. Dutton, professor In Columbia University, New York. This formidable document considers every conceivable aspect of the Balkan situation, beginning with a short his tory of the Balkan people and conclud ing with the moral and social conse quences of the war. Stabbing through the glamor of war fare which attended the triumphant demobilization of Servian troops and all the customary glorifications of the Victors, the commission found condi tions of desolation, utter wretchedness and social and moral disintegration which defied full portrayal even in its comprehensive report. This moral and social chaos is the direct result, ac cording to the commission, of the un speakable practices of the contending forces. , The recital of these barbaritii which forms a principal part of the re port," is the first detailed and collec tive presentation of facts which has so far been offered to the world, prin cipally in the form of newspaper re ports, and charge and counter-charge. The list of horrors compiled from the statements of eye-witnesses for whose reliability the commission vouches, is at times more startling than the unsupported rumors which formerly were received with Incredul ity. Atrocities by All Incredible. In this Indictment brought by the commission against all the contending forces, no one of the Balkan nations is spared. Atrocities committed pon the con-combatant Moslems in Mace donia surpassed in many instances the crimes committed by the race from which the Christian nations were sup posed to have received their education in the refinements of cruelty. The- barbarous acts and inhuman re prisals performed by Bulgarians, Ser vians and Greeks against each other would be incredible If they were not supported by unquestionable . evidence. From the data supplied by the commis sion it is impossible to argue that one of the nations was less violent than another in its ghastly warfare. The commission gives three causes of the war which followed the demand of the allies for autonomy of the Euro pean vilayets, and redlvision accord ing to nationality. These were the weakness and want of foresight of Turkey; the powerlessness of Europe to impose on & constitutional Turkey the reforms she had Introduced into an absolute Turkey; and the conscious ness of increased strength which al liance gave to the Balkan states.' The occupation of Macedonia by Greeks' and Servians and the threat ened decapitation of the Bulgarian na tion fostered the germs of discord among the Balkan allies, which had not been stifled by treaties, the terms of which were In continual dispute. Alleged Bulgarian violations of treaties and Servian transgressions followed by mutual demands for con cessions and extensions of frontier, precipitated a war between the allies which for wanton and wholesale demo lition is almost unparalleled. The second chapter of the report. under the heading of "The War and the Non-Combatant Population. Is a re cital of these horrors. In a review of the acts committed by the Greeks against the Macedonian Moslems xthe commission had at its disposal docu ments of undoubted veracity which re ported frightful massacres and a sys tematic proscription of Moslems which It found typical of the Greeks' mur derous practices. "The burning of villages and the exodus of the defeated population is a normal incident. What they have suf fered themselves they inflict on others." One -band, under a certain Doncheff, a notorious guerilla chief, was said to have burned 345 Turkish houses in one day, shut up the men is mosques and burned them alive or shot them as they attempted to escape. Xatlniw Suppress Own BnrWrit-. In weighing the charges made by the Greeks against the Bulgarians which have already become familiar through the newspapers, the report says: "The Greeks as usual suppress all mention of the provocation which the inhabitants had given. The Bulgarian account is silent as to the manner in which their reprisals were carried out. Both narratives contain inaccuracies and . neither of them tells more than a part of the truth." "The case against the Bulgarians which remains after a critical examina tion of the evidence is sufficiently grave. In each case the- Bulgarians acted under provocation and in each case the accusation is greatly exagger ated, but their reprisals were none the less lawless and unmeasured." The commission's judgment on re ported excesses committed by the Greeks among the Bulgarian peasantry was founded on vivid narratives told by eye-witnesses for whose veracity the commission holds itself responsible. Evidence gathered regarding the vil lage of Akanjeli satisfied the commis sion that, although the village sub mitted frenv the. first, it was sacked and burned; the Greek troops gave themselves up openly to a debauch of lust; and that many of the peasants were Killed wantonly and without prov ocation. , . v "What then is the duty of the civil ised world in the Balkans," concludes the report, "especially of those nations who by their location and history are free from international entanglements. It is clear In the first place that they should cease to exploit these nations for gain. They should encourage them to make arbitration treaties and insist upon their keeping them. They should set a good example by seeking a ju dicial settlement of all international disputes. "The consequences of the recent war, economic, moral and social are dread ful enough to justify any honest ef fort by any person or by any nation to alleviate the really distressing situ ation." RICH LAMER DFENDANT MRS. 9. M. THOMAS, MARRIED 14 YEARS, SUES.. After Advent of First Child, Husband Beslns to Treat Wife as Menial Servant, Shev Says. ST. LOtJIS. May 14. Mrs. Sallle M. Thomas filed suit In Circuit Court for a divorce from Morris S. . Thomas, a Chicago lawyer. They were married in Chicago, April 27," 1S92, and separated June 30, 1906. Both are reputed to be wealthy. Mrs. Thomas alleges that shortly aft er the advent of their, first child, her husband began to treat her as , a menial servant. ' Her petition sets out that he "dictated unto her in minute details and with exacting superiority how she should live,- and even how she should dress, designating the ap parel she should wear and provide for the children." . , Mrs. Thomas asserts that at the time of their marriage she was 18 years old, and her husband was 30, and shejjould not combat his " strong will, "but en deavored to comply with his demands, only to have him find fault and im pose greater restrictions on her free dom." The petition alleges that Thomas "entertained theories of a woman's place in the home, quite Incompatible with the standards of enlightened, re spectable people of the present 'day, and Inconsistent with the demands made upon the plaintiff in the social sphere in which she and the defendant moved, and which their circumstances justified." Mrs. Thomas 'asserts that her hus band resented any manifestation of affection on her part toward their children, and at all times did all in his power to foster in the children a disrespect for her authority. The allegation Is made that her hus band insisted on his wife attending personally to the affairs of the house hold, objecting to the employment of servants, and insisting on the manage ment and direction of every detail nimselr. , Mrs. Thomas alleges that her hus band insisted "that she adopt his meth ods, and attempted to designate what she should do, eat, drink and wear, where she should go, what friends she should have, what company she should entertain- and what her amusements should be. The petition alleges that Thomas dis approved of everything !his wife was fond of, and that his tastes were al most diametrically opposed to hers, But that he Insisted on her conforming her tastes to him, and his persistence in compelling her to do so knew no limits. Mrs. Thomas charges that, "although she, from her own fortune, without consuming her income, dressed herself and their children." her husband ac cused her of extravagance. Sh charges that, though her husband was finan cially able to provide for her, he com pelled her to pay all household ex penses except the rent. She says he refused to allow her to employ a nurse to care for the children. The wife asserts that Thomas wa.t so rude to her friends that she ceased in viting them to their home. She char res that his nagging was "intended to re duce her to a state of complete subjec tion and rob her of her Individuality." Mrs. Thomas asserts that she was "carefully educated and enjoyeS- the re fining influences of delightful home surroundings before her marriage, and had been trained to a high appreciation of home life and motherhood, as well as a polite social status, which, by na ture, disposition and accomplishments, she was qualified to enjoy. Her huB band'anreatment, she alleges, drove her to contemplation of suicide, and that she would have been driven to It had she remained with him."
