A general outline of the tentative draft of anti-trust legislation pre pared by majority members of the House Committee on the judiciary for action by-the full committee, subject to a conference with President Wil son , became known \ Ih Washington JTrhUy night. While members of the committee talked with ttfe president SOipe-weeks ago, the proposed bills so far have x 4K>t the administration stamp, and the^will be discussed at a conference between the president and the committeemen immediately following tho president’iK^turn. • The bills, drafted after conferences between Chairman Clayton, Repre sentative Carlin, of Virginia, chaTi^ man of the trust sub-commtttee, .and Representatives Floyd; Arkansas, Mc Coy, New Jersey, and others, cover these three main points First—Interlocking directorates. Second-^Trado relations and prices. Third—Injunction proceedings and .^^kv/nage suits by individuals.

Smith to determine the dif ference In spinning value between the various standard cotton grades, have pioceeded far enough to Bustath ~tBe~ senator’s theory that this difference is by no means so grestt aa^ould he thought from the price paidTTre pro ducer of the staple. » j /. Out of this Investigation, which is being made by the department of agriculture under the supervision of its cotton expert, Dr. N. A. Cobb, re sults are accruing which will be of vital importance to the cotton grow ers of the South. The experiments have been carried on with a total of about fl20 bales, half of eastern and half ot western upland cotton, which was k pht through the Danville, Va., mills under the regular process used for commercial cotton. . ...

An at- t tempt to define x coriTbinations and conspiracies in resj^alnt of trade, as far as possible, has been made in the bills already prepared.,, n. TJie bill to inhibit interlocking di-’ rectorates is regarded as the most important of the three. It applies to hanks and trust companies and to every industrial corporation engaged in Interstate trade. The tentative drfift of thla measure provides that: "After the 23rd day of December, 191 4, an officer or direcor of a Fed eral reserve bank, a branch bank, national bank, or banking assqcla- ^ 4ion, or any State bank, banking as- - eociation or -trust company admitted to membership on a Federal reserve bank shhll not be an officer or direc tor of any other hank, banking asso ciation or trust .company, or of any financial corporation, institution of association engaged in the business of banking.

This part of the meas ure was drafted by Representative McCoy, and is understood to have the approval of other judlcarj mem- ben. The effect of the Industrial corpor- tlon feature of the Interlocking dir ectorate hill, the committeemen say, would be of the most sweeping char acter, ohttlng out the interlocking arrangements and enabling dlrector- ahlps and control to pass to a large army of new men.

V* Twenty-eight hundred Mexican Federal soldiers, six generals, 200,- 000'rounds of ammunition, two/can non, four large field pieces and 1,600 civilian refugees were in the custody of the United States army border patrol Sunday as the result of the Federal evacuation of Ojlnaga, Mex ico, and the occup^ion of the Mex ican village by Gen. Francisco Villa’s rebel forces. The distress of the refugees is in tense. They have scant food and no chelter. Men, women, children, dogs, chickens and cattle are packed to gether in a space covering several acres. Al^out them are scattered-all the goods and belongings and bag gage brought in the flight from D^tnaga. Other results of the rebel successes that place Gen.

He said ge of the r is soldiers only hail 78 cartridges eachr*:. After the confusion incidental to pvacuaJJon thfl* battlefield opposite esldio at daylieht revealed a scene of^lpsolation. The whole sween of land Tending to the heights of O.lin- oga had been ploughed by the frantic rout of thKFederal army and the eager scramble into the village by Gen, Villa’s rebels. A cannon toppled muzzle down ward. a blood-stained sabre sticking in the muddy river bank, rifles thrown in heaps, the crumpled forms among the cactus and mesquit?; atnd the eyes that peered here and there from among the glazed racks were ■among the muto-s^ggestions of what had gone before. Those who went across in behalf of_ the Red Gross found many wounded who for hours had remained uncared for. Many were traced in the-trenches by their .groans. It was the belief of the American army physicians tharmnn'y soldiers died because neither Fed erals nor rebels had a hospital corps. The J.500 civilian refugees who rushed across the river when Gen. Mercado went through the streets of Ojlnaga, telling the people to flee, suffered as much distress aa the sol diers. Scores of women camp fol lowers had lost their children in the scramble and were crying piteously In the corr provided for them on the American side. Others were without sufficient clothing and all were drenched from wading through the river. The scene of disorder on the American aide was almost as bad as on the Mexican. Scpres of Federal guns had been thrown Into the river and were protruding from the mud. Federal and rebel wounded, who had tolled him too highly, explained that ho had come" South for a complete rest that he hnd Jbeen benefttted rreaUy and was goieg back to Wash ington both phvsically and mentally prepared for a period of hard work. He referred to tariff and currency reform as having heon accomplished by congress through Himuty ' sawinz wood” and going ahead with an out lined program. The thing that pleased him most, he said 1 , Was the wgy thq business .interests of the country seemed to be acting. He made no reference to the recent dis solution agreement of the American Tolenhpno and Telegraph company or-the w1*hdtawaI*of ffie Morgan’ company from many of its director ships, but fhose whfi fiffilTfl the presi dent went away with the impression that he had these things in mind. The president said he expected to read his anti-trust me^shge to con gress as soon as possible after his re turn to Washington. He remarked ♦hat he could riot overstay his vaca tion In the South, as he expected to confer with Democratic leaders in congress as soon as he arrived at the capital. The meeting with the committee was private. Representative Har rison. who accompanied the visitors, said the president’s sneech was sig nificant in Ms attitude, ioward big business, that the chief executive seemed to have a disposition to work out theteust finest ion in a peaceful constructive wgv^and in the spirit of common counsel.
