Washington, July 17.?Senate com
mittee took another Arm grip today
on the administration'!-, anti-trust leg
islative program and made progroes
curitics measure and the trade corn
on the Clayton Dill, the railroad bo
mission hill.
While the trade' commission hill
was under dlrcussion again in the
Senate, vigorously criticised by Sena
tor Works, of California, tho inter
state commerce committee had it un
der advisement and virtually agreed
to amend the section would make un
lawful "unfair competition."
The amendment proposed would
authorise the proposed trade, commis
sion to determine what constitutes
"unfair competition" and to order it
stopped when determined. In , each
case, there would be a full court re
view.
While the committee, made some
progress on the railway securities bill,
the question whether the Interstate
Commerce Committee should be em
powered to determine to what use
ifund realized by carriers from issues
.of securities had been used, still is
undetermined.
The judiciary commlttoo decided
I the section of the Clayton measure re
lating to holding companies should be
1 made stronger, but it has not been
'able to amend the section to Its sat
isfaction. The matter will be con
sidered further tomorrow.

phone and Telegraph Company to turn
over to Mrs. John W. Nelms, of this
city, mother of the missing women,
all telegrams which mny have passed
during the last'three yenn between
Mrs. Dennis and Victor E. Innes, for
mer assistant United States district
attorney/ of Nevada. Tho order in ad
dition included any other telegrams
which might aid in solving the mys
tery.
The court also appointed Mre.
Nelms temporary receiver of the es
tate of Miss Beatrice Nelms. The
latter has large property holdings and
it was npserted in the receivership
petition that her interests would 'be'
placed in Jeojardy unless & receiver
was named.
Innes was Mrs. Dennis attorney in
Heno, Nov., in 1912 when ehe obtained
a divorce. It was reported he .bad

make investments for her in Mexico,
but' in a statement mad? in Portland,
Oregon, tho attorney denied the report
and said he had no bunlness relations
with the woman other than as her
counsel In her divorce proceedings.
No trace bas been found of either
Mrs. Dennis or Miss N?lms, who left
here early in June on a business trip
to Texas. An investigation was
started when a letter, mailed In 8an
Francisco on July 3 to Mrs. Nelms
and signed with Mrs. Dennis' naine,
indicated that she had . killed her
sister.

At ono timo during tho speaking the
drizzle of rain was so heavy that Sher
iff Charley Lyon, of Abbeville, held au
umbrella over Senator Smith, that the
speaker might continuo: There was
little demonstration today. Tho meet
ing was practically devoid of the bols,
lorous heckling that has character
ized so many of the meetings in the
Piedmont.
This county went against Jones by
a majority of 9G2 in the gubernatorial
campaign cf two years ago. It is a
striking fact that thhvcounty was car
ried by Senator Smith eis years ago
airo by 9G2. Senator Smith had a

In answering the charge of his op
ponents today, that he was a man with
a single idea, Senator Smith said he
would not be so unkind as to pray
God to give his colleagues one origina'

TO WORK MONDAY
The Operatives Accepted the
Proposition Submitted By Mr.
Parker?Ettor on Scene ?
Special to The Intelligencer.
Greenville, July 17.?The opcrativee
of the Monoghan1 nulls will return to
work Monday morning, according to
a decision which they reached today
after a conference with Lewie W. Par
ker. committee representing the
operatives called up Mr. Parker Fri
day morning and in the afternoon an
nounced that they had accepted the
proposition which he made to them.
This proposition was that the return
to work, make up the 35 minutes or
dered, and then treat with the man
agement with reference to the over
time rule.
The operatives, the management
and the general public appear de
lighted that matters have taken this
turn, for with the arrival of Joseph
J. Ettor yesterday, some became ap
prehensive that trouble might arise.
Ettor is a high man in the "I. W. W."
and it is this organization which gavo
rise to the difference between the mill
management and the operatives, tho
latter contending that the labor or
ganization did not permit the over
time, while the rules of the company
.required that- certain lost time be
made up.
On Wednesday the 8th a storm caus
ed the power at Monoghan to be shut
off for a time, and when the opera
tives declined to make up the time,
' the walkout occurred.'' For tho past
two' days the mill has* 'fctftn^ttoife?
' Ing, but not to its full capacity.
Perfect order has prevailed throug:
out the differences. So far as could
be learned Ettor has taken ho part In
th? developments today.. Last night
Ettor advised the operatives to go
back to work and save their money
until the I. W. W. could be more
strongly organized, and after the or
ganization could be effected to con
sider a general cotton mill strike.
This'advice was given at a closed
meeting; b?t one who attended 1b au
thority for the statement attributed
to Ettor.
The fact that some of the operatives
have declined for several days to work
will not be held against them, accord
ing to the agreement today. .?

believed, however, that Huerta and
Blanquet would go aboard tho Dres

It was a day of sharp anxiety, cs

Before it is tiled the Attorney Oeu

Mr. McReynolde' ears are not clos

There was no intimation of any plan

It was reported to night that tho
New Haven will not fight the govern
