J. | O'Mara, who arrested him late yos. | terday afternoon on the charge of evading responsibility. i Testitying in the case before Judge Saxe in police court today, the sergeant said he was given the reg- | istration number of the car and in- | terviewed Leden, who was doing carpenter work at 25 Russwin road. | Leden denied all knowledge of the | accident, the sergeant testified. but when an examination of his car dis- closed marks which plainly showed it had been in some sort of collision, Leden admitted his guilt. Asked by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein whether he | wished to say anything, Leden re- plied negatively, but Mr. Greenstein | insisted that he answer some ques- | tions. He admitted that his car had sideswiped Lehrer's imachine and that he had driven away in the hope © fescaping detection. Judge Saxe fined him $50 and cods, remarsing that the offense was serious and Leden might have saved ' himself considerable trouble and expense by | stopping as soon as possible after the collision.

Monopolies And Anti-Trust Laws During the last seven years, un der republican rule, the anti-trus! laws have been thwarted, ignored and violated so that the country is rapidly becoming controlled by trusts and sinister monopolies form- ed for the purpose of wringing from the necessaries of life an unright- sous profit.
