If, In the earlier stages of trust

the powor of this groat government
to euforco tho anti-trust law, It
would havo saved tho peoplo tho 'pay
ment of hundreds of millions of dol
lars wrongfully taken from them in
excessive transportation rates and In
exorbitant trust prices which thoy
have had to pay for tho necessaries
of life. Had UiIh been dono before
these combined monopolies acquired

Can tlio unjust burden of fraudulent

The trusts and combinations, tho

Home action by tho government

State Department Believes Mexican
Rebel Commander is Deliberately
Tryfnrj to Provoke American Inter
vention by His Actions.
Issues Announcement Which Is Direct
Insult to United States Treat
'! Consuls as Citizens.
WASHINGTON', April 23. That
rflenernl Pnsctml Arrrcco, commander
in chief of the Mexican rebel forces
is trying deliberately to provoke
American intervention by hit action
in breaking off official relations with
the United States consuls in Mexico
is tho belief here this afternoon of
state department officlnls. Confi
dential dispatches receiver from
Mexico today give in detail the af
fronts to the United Stntes purposely
made by the rebel commander.
State department officials point
out that General Orozeo realizes thnt
his revolution is crumbling and pre
fers to fake chances of personal ag
grandizement in a conflict with tho
United Stntes than to lead a forlorn
hope in his effort to bring about the
fall of Madero government.
Orozeo has openl" announced that
hereafter he intends to regard Amer
ican representatives merely as citi
zens. This attitude is regarded here
as a direct insult to the Unifed States
and the state departm'ciil is ponder
ing on how to offset this attitude
without falling in with'Orozco's plans.
