Washington, July 27. Following an attack by Senator Borah, ot Ida ho, upon the enforcement of tbe Sherman anti-trust law, in the twenty years that it has been in existence, the senate yesterday adopted a reso lution offered by Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, calling for an Investiga tion into the operation of the law, to determine what changes or amend ments are necessary to make It an adequate protection against unlaw ful monopolies and trades. The' resolution of Senator Clapp gives authority to the senate inter state commerce committee, of which he ts chairman, to conduct a search ing inquiry into the operation of the law and to make recommendations tc the senate of any chances It may think necessary "relating to the crea tion and control of corporations en caged in Interstate commerce." "Either the Sherman law is a fail ore." declared Senator Borah, "wrong In contemplation of law, and inexpe dient aa an economic proposition or else there has been the most remark able trifling with the execution of the law .that has eyer been noted since law waa first placed upon the statute books to be regarded and obeyed, by man. Mr. Borah declared tbe Sherman law had been in effect for twenty years with four apparently "simple, efficlene and drastic remedies" aralnst illegal combinations or trusts "Yet everyone knows that the last twenty years have been years in which the most remarkable progress has been made by these combina tions," be said, "and not an embar rassment has been placed upon them. to far as tbelr ultimate success was concerned, although this simple, ef ficient and drastic law has been upon the statute books all tbat time." Without specifically mentioning the United States Steel Corporation, Senator Borah declared that the Sherman anti-trust act was permit ted to remain a dead letter during the time ot the formation, which he added, haa now apparently passed beyond the control of the federal government Mr. Borah stated, that it he mistook not. this powerful combination "places the stamp of ap proval or disapproval upon many an ret of legislation In tbe congress of the United States."

It became known here late yeaterday that Sec retary of Agriculture Wilson In a report to President Taft had recom mended that Dr. Harvey W.

Secretary Wil son, It la understood, declares lenien cy must be shown Dr. Wiley because t bis valued services to the govern ment in the past and his usefulness for the future. For thla reason, be apparently does not believe that "con dign punishment should be meted cut in the case. Under the recommendation of Sec retary Wilson the president will be able to retain Dr. Wiley in his posi tion, aa it has been believed all the time be would do, without seeming to Ignore the advice of hia attorney general. Thus an embarrassing situ ation will be avoided. Secretary Wilson declines to dis cuss the nature of hia report before the president sees fit to make it pub lic. What little be has bad to say indicated tbat he. had not advised 'turning down" flatly the recommen dation ot bis department personnel edmmlttee and - Attorney General Wickersham thst the pure food cham pion be allowed to resign. From what was learned It appears tbat tto secretary upholds the charge of the tjommlttee that Dr. Wiley com mitted a grave erorr and violated the law, but suggests that In view of the doctor's splendid work In the past nd his value to the department he should be admonished and retained ; in the service.
