PRESIDENT INDICATES
WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS
ON TRUSTS HE WILL MAKE
IIV ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Washington, Jan. 17.—President
Wilson announced today he would
read his message on anti-trust re-
form to the joint session of congress
next Tuesday.
The president has left to congress
the task of framing detailed reme-
dies. Beside® a provision for an In-
terstate trade commission,prohibition
of interlocking directoraties and re-
duction of the "debatable area" of
the Sherman law, three hitherto un-
announced features of the president's
plan are :
New Features
1—Prohibition of holding compan-
des. Corporations would be for-
bidden to o*n or hold shares or be
interested in the business of ac-
tual competitors, and the acquisi-
tion of stock or interests in non-
competitive concerns would be pos-
sible only with the consent of the
inter-state commerce commission or
the proposed inter-state trade com-
mission.
Control of Stock Issues
2—Empowering the inter-state
commerce commission to regulate
and supervise the isssuance of se-
curities by railroads that public
would exercise through commissions,
a certain control over the future
uses to which money obtained from
the issuance of stocks or bonds
would be put
Simpler Procedure
3—Wherever the instance of the
gvernment either in civil or criminal
proceedings, courts have erndered
judgment of unlawfulness of any
combination, individuals or concerns
aggrieved ^ through the combination
would have the benefit of such ad-
judication, and not be required in
their suits to prove again the illeg-
ality of the combination.
SHOPS ARE
BOARD WILL PLAN
NEW KANSAS PEN
ti V ASSOCIATED PRESS
Topeka, Kans., Jan. 17.—The gov-,
ernor has appointed a commission of
five, headed by Professor Blackman,
to prepare plans for a new penlten-!
tiary at Lansing and report to the
1915 sessln of the legislature. The'
other four are R. W. McCiaughry,
•former warden of the federal pris-
on, W. H. Haskell, former warden of
the state prison, J. E. Porter, mem-
ber of the state penal boaird, and
John E. Mulvane, a banker.
The Hock Island shops at Shaw-
nee are not closed, contrary to what
appears to be the general belief of
those not informed. As a matter
of fact there has been what it is
huped will be a temporary cutting
down of i.ne shop force, cue reason
for which has not been announced,
hut which is said to be the same as
that which has influenced all rail-
roads of the southwest to take simi-
lar action.
There are now 115 men employed
on the Rock Island pay-roil in
Shawnee. From an authoritative
source the information was gained
by the News-Herald today, it is un-
certain whether the force will be
materially increased the first of the
month. The necessary repair work
is being done, and a considerable
force Is kept busy In the round
house, Aside from that, all depart-
ments are practically idle.
.Causes Alleged
"The cause for the railroads of
the southwest, including the Rock Is-
land, cutting down their shop
forces," said a Rock Island official
the past week, "Is slack business on
the roads, and consequent decrease
in income. The Rock Island's pas-
senger revenue in Oklahoma alone
fell off $103,000 the past month.'
The Rock Island appropriations
are now made a month at a time.
A certain amount is allowed for tie
district, which is apportioned at
the El Reno offices to the various
divisions. The appropriation cannot
be exceeded, consequently the size
of the force is regulated by the
amount of expenditures.
Jio "Open Shop" plan
Those in a position to know scout
ed the idea that the Rock Island
was planning an "open shop" basis
for their shops. It was pointed out
that the railroads are now needing
money,and it would be foolsh to es-
sume that at this period they would
undertake a change that would prob-
ably cost them millions before it
was affected.
Carranza will join in a campaign up-
on the capital is causing appre-
hension.
Jiew Cabinet
A report is curren that Frederico
Gamboa will be recalled to the for-
eign office, and that Querido Moheno
will be appointed minister of fin-
ance, succeeding , dolfo De-La
Lama, who recently resigned be-
cause of lluerta's repudiation of in-
terest payments.

Spitzka, one of the most noted brain
experts In America, whose works
have tyeen- used in the courts for
years In insanity cases, died just
at the time a date was being set by

two years of age, was accused by

the affections of his wife. Gersh-
gall wanted $50,000. The lawyers
were in an office arranging that
the doctor should testify, when they
received word over the telephone
