With His Bare Hands.
London, Jan. C Annual service of
epiphany, at which the king's offering
or incense and myrrh Is made, was
fold In tho royal chapel of St. James
today. A draught blew the flame of
tne candle against tho Christmas dec.
orations, wl lch blazed up and threat
ened a most valuable window. A
joung clergyman extinguished the Are
lth his bare hands.
Washington, Jan. 6. The senate
today listened to a masterly discus
sion of the trusts problem. George
P. Hoar, the venerable senator from
Massachusetts, opened by saying that
he acknowledged that his bill was
imperfect, being of a tentative and
experimental character.
He contended that with the exeep
tlon of the coal strike the country
hadn't suffered from the trust evil inn
any way to affect the genertU prosper
ity. The condition of workmen was
better than - In other countries, and
better than in any other period of
American history.
Trust legislation should be enacted
with a view to the future rather than
to the present. Such terrible money
power as Is concentrated In some
cases Is gi eater than the power of
many states; greater then the power
oi any nation except ours on tnls
continent. They enn make or preven
wars, threaten a community witli
coal famine or wheat famine and ex.
ecute those threats.
Evils of Trusts.
He thou enumerated the chief evils
of trusts as follows: Destruction of
competition; management of local in
dustries by absentees in interests of
absentee capital; destruction of all
local and public spirit; fraudulent
capitalization; secrecy of manage
ment for private benefits of officials
power to corrupt elections and in
somo cases corrupt courts; want of
personal responsibility to public sen
tlment; absence of persopal liability
for contracts or wrong doing; hold
ing of vaBt properties in mortmain or
the dead hand of the ancient English
law.
Approved of Combination.
The speaker approved of the com
blnatlons of capital and paid a trib
ute to Morgan's .genius, "but," said
he, "I do not want American trusts to
dominate the world at the expense
of the American local, and- public
spirit," H" said socialism never ac
complishes anything and would de
stroy American manhood,
