WASHINGTON, Deo. 14.—Pursuing President Taft's recommendation that an @Mooutlve bureau ‘be created to euper-- Vibe corporations chartered under a Fed- @al incorporation act, Attorney-Gen- @rai Wickersham, in bis annual report GPmitted to Congress to-day, sugeests | @at the Bureau of Corporations be Faleed to that dignity, even in the ab- @ence of the proposed Federal {ncor- Deration statute. This branch of the Department of Commerce and Labor, the Attorney- @eneral urges, should be brought Into eloser relation with his Department, and eG¢s that it might well be “avatied of as the nucleus for an administrative Deard, under whose supervision consol. @mions or mergers for lawful purpores Might be formed.” fn enforcing the Sherman anti-trust law the Attorney General points out that the Department of Justice and the courts are confronted by oconomto rather than legal problems when it mes to working out methods ofdis- {Stegration after a corporation has been declared an iilegal combination. BOARD SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND REPORT. The Department enlisted the assist- e8ce of the Bureau of Corporations in the dissolution of the Tobacco Trust, and {€ would be of great value to the legal + abe of the Government, Mr. Wicker- share says, if the funetions of the Wireau @hould be #0 larged that {t Ould be called upon oMicially to make investigations and report its conciu- #fone with respect to plans for the vol- tary or enforced disintegration of| nopolietic combinations. | ‘The Attorney-General reviews the rec- ord of @ year of intense activity in) Federal prosecutions, and points out | that the Department of Justice finan-| cially sustained iteclf as the result ot the contribution of $420,115 to the United States Treasury in hape of fines collected, custome duties recover- | « Wigy The expense of the Depart-| rece; ineluiding the office of the At- topney-General, all of the district-at- eys and assistants throughout the try, lagsregated $3,224,713. @ comprehensive review of the ant!- trget prosecutions the Attorney-General shows that the seventeen anti-trust civil pending at the boginning of iam fiscal year were augmented by tional actions, while the eleven cr! * jaf} prosecutions under the mame stat- vite were increased by twenty-three wire prosecutions during the last flecal ir. "Bien civil suits and « similar number of eriminal trials were brought to con- r uring the year. In four of the civ prosecutions judements were ren- dered in favor of the United States, while three were lost and one was dis- cdatinued. Four convictions were se- eyted under the criminal stitute during ‘wote either qu Declaring that he appri 1G interest in the Sherman Ant!-Trust law was “even greater” than it was at the date of the last report, the néY-Generel set forth the following ca: ‘being prosecuted or pending for final jement: cotton corner; alleged towing monopoly; beef packers; Southern Pacific merger; bituminous coal combination; naval stores suit; Bathtub Trust; Lw Mik Trust; all paper co Sugar ti Transat {p pool; ne Trust; Shoe Machinery Trust; combination of coal roads; elevator suit in Oklahoma, and Wood Trust Emphasising his satisfaction with the decree of the New York Circuit Court In the tobacco trust dissolution, the Attorney-General has this to say of independent tobacco interests who have T on of terms gration whic’ a ‘ent, succes’ ment impossible, about @ receiversh and forced judicia ens readjust. have brought f the property jon, resulting in not only to those tnterested In the combination but to usiness {interests of the country we, and in the end would have benefited only the very snd! 1 had been dominant in the formation of the combination, as they are possersed ruin which would have followed. In my opinion, the plan which has been approved by the court will accomplish the objects of the law.” Forty-six prosecutions @or illegal die eriminations and rebates wore instituted againet rattroads during the year. The Attorney-General urges the amendment of the twenty-clgh-hour law governing the rafiroad transportation of lve stock by tmporing an imprisonment penalty for ite viotation, ‘The vigorous enforcement of the cus- toma laws, the Attorney-General says, resulted In the recovery of $2.120000 tn duties out of which the Government had been defrauded. ‘The white slave traffic act, now a year and a half old, is heving @ salutary ef- fect, in the judgment of Mr. Wicker- sham. Mr. Wickersham calls attention to the discovery of extensive irregularitics and In some oases actual dishonesty In offices of clerks of the United States courts. No effective reform, the de- clares, ean be accomplished until the power of removing the clerks !# taken from the judges and lodged in the Presiient and the clerks paid a specific sum, instead of by the feo eystem. —_—_—___—_— “JOHN STRANGE WINTER,” FAMOUS NOVELIST, DEAD.
