To bring about a change in tile Sher-
man anti-trust act and the Interstate
commerce law that woald result In
more effective enforcement of the gov~
ernnlent regulations was said recently
by a lawyer engaged in extensive
federal pnrcllce to be contemplated by
representatives Ill Congress. It Is also

sham is at present studying. freelroal
interruption. the two laws and the de-
cisions under them. This was taken as
significant of the determination to slig-
geet changes that would be more eco-
nomical and more facile in controlling
arllroads and private corporations.
Any change In either act would not
mean a weakening of government con-
trol. It was said. The purposed legisla-
tion would take from the Sherman act
any povVer involving the enforcement
of laws regarding common carriers.
This would be transferred to the Inter
stale Commerce Commission. The Iat-
tcr would be changed into a purely by
dlcial body. with powcr to enforce its
decrees. all criminal castle and investi-
gations of alleged criminal acts to be
absolutely in the hands of the Depart-
ment of Jutslce. This ullght Involve a
transfer of the commission to tan De
partment of Commerce and Labor, it
was said. so that it. might command
a larger force to aid It in Its work.
By giving the interstate Commerce
Commission control of the railroads it
was said that their affairs would be
under the supervision of experts. There
would be no division of power. no mn-
illct and no division of the labor of en-
forcing the law. A reporter asked J.
W. H. Crom, the assistant to United
States Attorney Wise. about the pros-
pective changes. He has had charge
of preparing the cases of the govern-
ment here under the two acts. Mr.
Crim said:
“A change would simplify alld make
more effective each act, It to true. Now
the interstate Commerce Commission
will investigate charges at great.
length. will find that they Involve
criminal prosecutions lilltl refer the
case to the Department. of Justice. It
Is the!) necessary for the officers of
the latter to males another Investiglv
tloll before prosecution is begun. if
lhe commission's jurisdiction were
conflned to civil platters altogether It
would do more effective work—that Is,
if It had the power to enforce Its lic-
cross.
"The llci of 1887 was based on ltll
English law passed about fifteen years
before. Tile commission was estab—
lished with the Idea that if a shopper
found that it was being discriminated
against In rates he could make a com
pinint. which the commission would
investigate. If Illt‘ complaint was
found to be based on facts. It rectifica-
tion would be ordered. But it had no
power to enforce Ils decisions. it had
to go to the courts. where a fine and
imprisonment or either could be 1m
posed. in 1008‘. aocalled ‘Elkins
law was ensctcd.’ hich took the Im-
prisonment clonedt out of the original
act. in 1906 the Hepburn act gave the
commission power to enforce its do
cross .and the only recourse the rail-
rosds hall was to get injunctions. The
Odd imprisonment clause was» re-insert‘
e .
. "‘if changes are to be made the most
emotive would be, as reported to be
gating function “from the interstate
commerce commission and make it a
ludicici‘body. and to take regulation of
common carriers out of the Sherman
act." Mr. (‘rlm said. “If the commis-
sion had the power It is purposed to
confer upon it. at the time of the or-
ganization of the Northern‘Securltics
company, it could have ordered the dial
solution of the company without more
ado. The change would place the na-
tioual highways under the control oh
experts.
”‘The Sherman not should apply to
private corporations. With :the com-
missions' scope made as is pnrposed. a
state would be able to apply to it for
relief in the enforcement of reasonable
regulations with much more. hope of
speedy relief tbatat present. A state
gives s railroad the right of eminent
domain. and for this It should give res»
sonsble rates. if it failed: to do so the
cornmission could quickly determine
upon a remedy. The change, it seems
to me, would be a reasonable and logi-
cal thing. It would certainly not die-
turb business affairs. but would re-
ceive the support of business inter-
eats.
“'No set of congress can be called a!-
- ‘fectlve. of course, until the courts cont
strue It. There have been about 25
decisions in case sander the Sherman
act. and theree momentous decisions
may be handed down before congress
meets. those in the prosecutions of the
Standard Oil company. the American
Tobacco company and the so-called
Powder Trust. There should be little
doubt as tothe effectiveness or scope
of the not after these decisions, show-
lng Its Weakness and strength. where
It can be strengthened or where the
weaknesses may be eliminated."

Types of Each Rapidly Changing in
the British Navy.
(Cassler’s Magazine.)
The day has gone by when the wr-
pedo can be regarded as an llnrollll-
bIe instrument of war of strictly Illll-
itcd use. Today the British lulvy is
about to be equipped with ll torpedo
which will carry ll destructive charge
of upwards of 200 pounds. and will
possess illl effective range of over 7.~
000 yards, which it will be able to
cover at tlll nvel‘nflc speed of III
knots. I
Such a weapon In bound to illl'lu-
once battle tactics owing to ltsrnngc
and the accuracy with which It runs.
The new torpedo in association with
improved gunnery methods has- al-
ready banished the familiar six-inch
gun from the newer battleships alld
battleship cruisers. One of the ur.
gent navnl‘problenls of today Is how
to employ the new torpedo to the
best advantage.
It Is realized that it Is necessary to
blliid special vessels for its use; It is
also realized that In“ view of the dan-
gerous character of the service which
will devolve upon these craft It is es-
sential not only that the British flcct
should possess the best type or tors
lwdo craft, hilt that it should how
these vessels lll sufficient number to
provide a margin of safety Ill view of
the. inevitable casllulties of war.
The new destroyers differ from any-
thing which has hitherto been seen in .
the British navy. They are to have a:
displacement of "0111.300 to 1.030
tons. with a speed of 27 knots only:
they will mount five lfl-pounder guns,
and be fitted with two torpedo tubes.
The building of a destroyer is a spe-
cial trade based upon scientific data.
and carried out with a delicacy and
accuracy of workmanship which is}
not to be found. because It is not re-
quired. In larger vessels. The catch.
lishnlents which devote themselvesto.

Thi- ulckcl has become sacred In
this country as a unit of street-car
fare. Its convenience rcsultcd ill its
adoption at a time when 3 cent, 6‘
cent and 8 cent fares were familiar
and as a nun It. was well enough
adapted to the conditions of the late
’805. Some strl-ct car companies un-
doubtedly made it good deal of money
in those days. Dividends of 20 and
even 25 per cent. were. not unknown.
it was then that the popular notion
of the lucrativelless of street railroad-
ing grew up.
It Is now a question. whether the
flat-rate plan of charging which is
universal ill the United States may
not have outlived its-usefulness. . An
analysis recently made by the Boss
ton Elevated Company has proved
that it carries at a loss passengers
who ride more than four and onehalf
miles. With the growth of popula-
tion greatest ill the suburbs that are
more than five miles away from Ben:
con HIII,‘it Is hard to see why the
Idug haul traffic will not contihue to
be built up.
.The zone plan of charging, whichl
ulsts ill most European cities. works
better among thrifty Scotchmea or
Germans than among freehanded
Americans, who would rather not die
bothered with loads of copper coins.
Nevertheless there is this to be said
in favor of the zone plan, that It att-
tolnatlcally provides an increase of.
revenue as the length of haul h-
ereases. The manager of one.of the
English tramway enterprises has no
dread of suburban development. if
people move awdy from the crowded
for the delights of country life.
