That tho fioverntnent'H suit against

that there are endless political fea
tures attached to It, Is tho general
opinion anionic party leaders today.
Tho Democrats claim the credit of
forcing tho administration to act
through the house investigating com
mittee, which, with Representative
ugustus O. Stanley of Kentucky as
t chairman, held sittings in Chicago
and New York, to investigate the
methods employed by tho trust in
conducting its business. They charge
that tho Republicans, by a bold
stroke, are endeavoring to forestall

I.OS ANGKLKS, Gal., Oct. 27.
William C. Sellg of Chicago, presi
dent of the Sellg motion pictures,
was shot mid probably fatally in
jured, and Francis Hoggs, general
munngor of tho local branch of the
company, was shot and killod hero
today by a Japaueso gardener, Frank
Mituilmatsu, who had run nmuck with
a 4G Colt revolver. Tho shooting oc
eurred In tho offlco of the company
at Kdoudalo, a Miburb, about 11 a. in.
Tho Japanese was arrested.
Sellg arrived in Los Angelos this
iiioruliiK from Chicago for a confer
ence with his local staff. Among
those present at tho tlmo of the
tragedy were J. L. McGoe, business
manager of the Sellg company; W.
Santsht, an actor, ami 1 lobar t Ilos
worth and Hoggs.
While tho eonforonco was on In
Hoggs' offlco, the Jnpnnoso, who had
been eniplojod as a gnrdener and
Janitor In tho motion picture devel
opment plnnt, without warning burst
through the door, llo held a lingo
army revolver In his hand. Without
a word ho opened flro with deadly
effect. The flit hhot brought Hoggs
to the floor with a bullet through
tho heart. Tho next two bullets took
effect In Sellg's body, ono plorclng
his arm, tho other lodging In the
bend. The occupants of tho room
ovorpowered the Japanese nnd ho was
arrested. Ho is bolloved lnsano.
Sellg was rushed to a local hospital
where It was said that his condition
la critical.
"Grandstand Piny."
Those In sympathy with President
Taft's administration claim that tho
(suit proves tho sincerity of tho ad
ministration's trust-breaking plan,
whllo tho antl-admlnlstrationlsts call
tho filing of tho suit a graudstand
play.
Tho Washington Post, John R. Mc
Lean publisher, which has always
been n warm supporter of President
Taft, roasts tho suit today. It says
In part:
"The suit Is tho most spectncular
niece of trust busting thus far at
tempted. Its effect upon tho honesv
business interests of the country will
probably bo raot Injurious. War
between the government and its own
pcoplo cannot last long. Such strife
Is anarchy, and must cease."
Chamberlain's Views.
Senator George K. Chamberlain,
Democrat, of Oregon, declared; "I
bellovo that tho suit has already been
too long delayed, and In nil human
probability It would not have been
bogun now If It had not been for tho
porslstent courso of tho Democratic
house In prying Into these combina
tions In restraint of trade. They
ought not only to proceed with this
suit, but should prosecute every anan'
connected with It who Is responsible
for violation of tho anti-trust law."
