Washington, Dec. 5—A vigorous de- njal that he had in mind infivencing Robert Archbald as a judge of the commerce court when he recommended the sale of the Kaydid coal dump to E. J.

He gave as the reason that litigation was threatened by persons claiming an in- terest in the dump. Under cross-examination, Willtams testified that Wiliam G. Boland had asked him to get Judge Archbald to write the letters to May and that Bo- land had been promised an interest in the property. POSSIBLE DISMISSAL G OF OIL TRUST CASES.

The letter was not received by Mr. Wilson until after he arrived at Ham.. fiton. In replying he said that he would be pleased to meet his distin- guished friend when he returned to the United States. Thi is the extent of the correspondence on that subject between ie two democratic leaders since election. Steamers Reported by Wireless.

TRUST LEGISLATION Judiciary Committes Expects to Get at It Early in January—Prospects of Income Tax Amendment. Washington, Dec. 5.—Tariff and the trusts soon will be receiving attention in congress, as a sequel to the recent elections and for the purpose of pre- paring the ground for the actual work of legislation on these subjécts by the next congress. The ways and means committee will hold its Initial meet- ing next Monday to lay out plans as to the tariff. It {s expected that a series of hearings will be sef, be- ginning’ about January 8 and extend- Ing over six weeks. Hearings by Schedul The hearings will be by schedules, a date being set for hearing those in- terested in the chemical schedule and subsequent dates being arranged for hearings on the various other sched- ules and the free list. In this way it is expected that most of the pre- liminary work may be in hand by the eng of February so that the work may then begin on the drafting of the measure or measures for tariff reduc- ton in readiness for the extra session beginning April 15. Trust Legislation. As to the legislation affecting trusts and the Sherman law, Judge Clayton gzmgtgam, el;;:’m“ of the house ee on judiclary, is preparin to give spectal attention fo the mate ter as soon as his duties as prose. outor of the Archbald impeachment in the senate are concluded. He said today that early in January the ju- diclary committee would begin consid- eration of the trust question, having hearings, and preparing the ground for the trust measures to be urged before the next congres: Trusts and Tariff to Be Kept to Front. “There is no doubt that trust leg- isiation will be one of the most im- portant subjects before the - coming lemocratic _ congress,” sald Judge Clayton. “Public opinion has come to Place the tariff and the trusts in the very forefront of questions urgently -requiring attention and remedy, and our platforms have given special em- Phasts to theso twe subjects. As mem- bers' of_congress have returned since the recent election, fully realizing the significance of that Dolitical overturn- Ing, the cancensus of opinion among them 15 that these two subjects—tar- iff and the trusts—must be kept stead- fastly to the frent until remedial measures have been devised and enact- ed into law. No New Trust Legislation Needed. “The tariff remedy is a plain one— downward revision. But the trust remedy 18 not o plain, for many plans are proposed and the trust evil is one of vast magnitude and ramifica- tlon. But there is no doubt that some further supplementary legislation will be hed to make more effective the laws designed to prevent private mon- opoly. I do not think it will be neces- sary to embark on the sea of new legislation. What is needed s the en- forcement of the law as it now stands :n&:u&p}en:ntllfl ]ixlslutlon strength- n e existing law and r its defects.” i s Income Tax Prospects. An income tax is also being looked forward to-as one of the importar® measures to be framed, probably in connection with tariff legislation. Thirty-four states have ratified the income tax amendment to the con- stitution and the votes of two more states will suffice to make the amend~ ment a part of the organic law. Mem- bers of the ways and means commit- tee are rather expecting that Presi- dent-elect Wilson's state, New Jersey, will be one of the two to cast the decisive votes favorable to ratifica- tlon. When ratified, the questions of &n income tax in accordance with the constitutional authority, would come before the ways and means committee 28 & part of its authority over rev- enue producing measures.
