4 Sayings and Doings ol Our Public Men at Sprlffglield. I 5 THE DAILY FREE PRESS ftNTI-TRUS? Bill II MEASURE "QXrEEBING" COMBINATIONS IS ifrTBODUCED. ILLINOIS SESSION IS WARM Courts, Primary and Yates- Deneen Squabble Are Attract. ing Great Attention at the State Capital. Spring-Held, 111..

Illinois, is amply protected from the trusts and un-. lawful combinations by the drastic antitrust bill which Representative M. L. McKlnley. ot Cook county, introduced Into the house last This latest measure provides in tne penitentiary of from one to ten years for any person-found-guilty of promoting' any combination in restraint of class of business being exempted.

It is made obligatory 011 state's attorneys and the attorney general to begin quq war- ran to proceedings against any persona 'in- corporations accused of violatLng'the law on the sworn complaint of any citizen, The only valid anti-trust law now on the statute books of Illinois is the act of 1891, which is declared by Mr. McKinley to be harmless; as 1C is so easily; evaded on technicalities: No one could be convicted under It. THe act 1SS3 was declared unconstitutional because it contained a clause exempting agriculturalists and Jive-stock raisers from its provisions, llils clause being designed to protect fanners' combinations. Mr. McKlnley's bill leaves out this exemption anil 'is more severe by increased punishment and the provision compelling state's attorneys to begin proceeding under It when requested, instead ot leaving it optional with them.

'''The ViOltaess displayed by the combination of tile coal dealers during the late coal the apparent helplessness ot Norton, who, under the limitation of our lame statute, only fined tlie do-- femlants J500 after they have made niil- Tions of dollars in profits by their illegal transactions, cal Is for a more strlct-anti- trust act, making the punishment ot trust magnates more severe, and that nothing less than by imprisonment in the penitentiary," said Mr. McKinley. "Nothing than trie penitentiary," said "and the right of every citizen to prosecute this kind oi'cases independent of the wishes of the state's attorney incl the attorney general' in the matter ever deter the modem trust vampire from continuing in the i liegal plunder ol the people." Causes Excitement. Great astonishment pervades legislative circles because of the clause; which IDenecn inserted in the primary election bill, recently brought into the house, providing for the expression of preference for United senator-toy voters-ol' both parties. In view ol the promises -which are supposed to hsve been passed between Denoen and Tales whan the former was allowed to be made candidate for the governorship of Illinois at the republican state convention, by the 'withdrawal of the latter, action is looked upon by Yates men n's an unexplained move, it is supposed that a-sort of verbal agreement, was veach'ed between the Yates party should cast tlieir ballots in convention for Deneen the c-x-eovornor should be considered''-the senator to the United States body.

The question asked is what will tbe gov- do. should'the bill be passed, it Vates does not. under Its provisions, re- -a- majority of the votes? Some sook upon l.hn movfi as an attempt to jhift the blamo II'-the Yates candidacy for tlif office should prove unpopular with the people. 1C the latter answer to question is true, Mr. will bo relieved of a debt, which, if it should be (ialit, might so in dellance of public opinion.

Eyes on Primary Bill. AH attention In tlie lower house -of the Forty-fourth general assembly now Is directed toward the administration primary bill. If it becomes absolutely accessary the speaker's gavel will be used to pound the measure to third read- i ng mid then he party lash will be wielded vigorously to pass Speaker tun-Heft will evade the issue if tlie gavel Is last resort, and in his absence if (viil be handled by Representative Chester W. Church, chairman of the house steering committee. There is considerable opposition -among many of the members to various provisions In the bill as if was hurried out of the committee, and especially to the amendments providing for the nomination of United States senators by direct vote.

This is said to be Gov, Oeneen's cherished feature in the bill.
