GIILLS DEGREE IN TDBilCCO CIIMPIINY CASE II FARCE Washington, Nov. 18.—A general attack upon the decree of the circuit court of New York In the dissolution of the American Tobacco Company and a specific comparison of the ac tivities of Attorney (Jeneral Wicker- sham and former Attorney General Judson Harmon In enforcing the Sher- m&n anti-trust law against great com binations enlivened today’s hearings of the senate committee on Interstate commerce which Is Investigating the trust problem with a view to new legis lation. Senator Pomerene of Ohio, In vlg orous questions directed toward H. B. Martin, a witness before the commit tee, asking If he knew of “any jusU- flcatlon for the head of a department of the government .to take the posi tion that he will not enforce the-crim inal provisions of the Sherman anti trust law.” “There appears to be little effort In the department of justice to en force the criminal provision of the law,” said Senator Pomerene. “Do you know of any statute or other authority which justifies au attorney general In taking the position that he may en force the statute in the civil courts but decline to enforce its criminal provlsloiis? I regard the course of the department In Its failure to enforce these provisions as most reprehensi ble.” Senator Oliver was the only mexn her of the committee who replied to the attack-on the attorney general. Also addressing the witness, he want ed to know what the latter thought the “comparative reprehenslblllty” of an attorney general “who actlvlely and successfully enforced a law like this, who resurrects It- and makes It effec tive, and proceeds^at least toward suc cessful civil prosecutions; as compared with one of his predecessors who did not and who practically 'declared the law a dead letter.” “I refer to former Attorney General Judson Harmon, of Ohio,” said Sen ator Oliver, looking across the table to Senator Pomerene. Signs of Outbreak. The committee showed signs of an Incipient outbreak. Senator Pomerene declared It was not Mr. Harmon, but his predeceaaor, Richard Olney, who had said. In substance, that the law was a dead letter. Mr. Harmon, he sa d took up and pushed to a decision In the supreme court the' traas-Mlswurl rate cases and made every effort to revivify the Sherman law. Other mem bers of the committee refrained taking part in the discussion and it was quickly dropped. The dissolution decree In the Amer ican Tobacco Company case, dividing the trust into fourteen separate organi zations was characterized at several times during the hearings as a con struction of the Sherman law that failed to restore competition or meet the spirit of desired trust control. . ^«nator b«W iw, lleve there could be actual competi tion enforced under the present Sher man law. “There are clearly two movements under way. for changes in the. Sher man law,” said Senator Cummins, “the first for a mitigation of the provisions of the law; the other toward amend ments and suppllmentary acts that will make it a more efficient Instru ment few the preservation of competi tion.” He expressed his sympathy with the latter. The effect of a law prohibiting di rectors of steel and coal companies from sitting In the directorates of ralW 'roads, was .briefly discussed during the hearing. Senator Townsend of Michigan declared he favored such an act, but he believed the one offered to the committee would permit of the same end being accomplished through dummy directors.

Connor, of the state hlstor-, leal commission, has completed and there Is being distributed throughout the state the program for the exercises that are to be held In all the public schools of the state December 22 In observance of “North Carolina Day.” The booklet Includes much especially valuable material that the teachers are to use in preliminary historical work for the children and for reading that will pave the way for the most ben eficial observance of, the day.

Then there follows an out line of suggestions for the Writing of historical sketches of countries with the idea of having different students write sketches of their countries. Also there Is a most valuable grouping of countries showing the origin of' the man names of each and important dates In history of formation as well as the coumtrles out of which- each was formed. There Is alsp a paper on North Carolina and North Carolina’s history from the pen of the lamented Matt W. Ransom; this being followed by the historical song “America”. As an ap pendix there are given the governors of the state, the chief justice of the supreme court, presiding officers of the general assemblies, members of con tinental congress from this state; United States senators, and North Car olina’s representatives In the Confed erate congress.

Y. Joyper and Gen J. S. Carr, the latter being in charge of the move ment for the Raleigh statue which It Is Intended tP, erect In Nash Square, Raleigh. - With the tendency of the modem dramma running to political themes.
