lK As Last Resort It IsSaldTiat One More Appeal WiU Beada to Presi dent to Let ths Clayton Bilf Go Oyer No Hope Is Expressed That He Will I Consent I Hopeless differences of opinion In the Senate committee have brought the Presidents trust prpgram to the pojnt where it seems about collapse After ten days consideration of the Clayton antl trust pill as passed by the House jthe Senate judiciary committee lasVnight apparently was no nearer conclusion as to whit It shall renort to the Senate than oh the day when flrst took up the measure go desperate appears to be the situation that another appeal Is to he made to the President to permit the Senate to enact the Newlands trade commission bill and Congress then adjourn Meanwhile leaders saV the whole subject of trust legis latloncan be studied and senators return xo Washington prepared to legislate intelligently No Faith in Appeal Nowhere is there any belief however that he President can he persuaded to listen to this appeal The Senate committee is badly divided on many of the subjects in thebill Membershave found little common ground for prohibition of Interlocking directorates and holding companies and they have nt een able to agree on any plan to prevent price fixing One I of the big stumbling blocks Is the remarkable exemption from prosecution granted to labor organisations In the House bill Letters and telegrams In protest against this are coming to senators from every section of the country They are particularly emphatia from the South One of tha most influential Southern Democrats In the Senate yesterday received a long telegram from a leading Democrat of his State a business man of affairs who characterized the provls ons of thfpendlng bill as the most atrocious piece tof class legislation ever proposed compared nlth which anything the Republicans ever fostered was harmless Imperils Democratic Tarty He asserted that such a law would drive the Democratic party from power shock the intelligence and common sense of al self respecting men and in the end work untold harm upon labor Itself The Clayton bill which carries the anti injunction provisions ia one of the most important and far reaching of all he measures before the judiciary committee Lat night again round the members hooelessly deadlocked over the exemp tions Relative to labor and cooperative associations determined however to reconstruct them but unable to come together regarding details All work thus far done has been tentative Changes agreed upon one day are reconsidered the next Eery paragraph brings up a maze of conflicting opinions and while there Is much talk the commit lg makins no headway So manifest was the condition in the committee yesterdayyesterday that Senator Heed jocularly suggested that the committee adjourn to Atlantic City where the cool sea breezes might aid concentration ot thought and produce definite results Trust Legislation Lags During the past week trust legislation generally lagged Senator Newlanfls has not yet bad the trade commission bill mads the unfinished business but expects to this morning When the Indian bill was passed last night he attempted to call up his bill hut Republicans objected owing to the absence of Republican members pf the committee and Mr Newlands gavel notice that he would move this morning to give the measure the right of way The Interstate commerce committee has made no attempt for several days to make progress on the railroad stock and bond bill Realizing that the varying views of committeemen cannot be amalgamated the Democratic members of the judiciary committee will shortly carry their troubles to the White House and urge the President either to direct specifically what legislation jhe wants attempted or try to convince him that the Clayton bill and the kind of legislation it represents should be passed over until tha next session ADMIRAL EMORY STRICKEN Retired Naval Officer Suffers Para lytic Stroke in

Roberts of Nevada at the home of the brides parents the Raymond apartment house 1493 Monroe street northwest The triumph of Cupid over this famous champion of the diamond was the immediate sequel of the finest exhibition of hia prowess he has ever shown but few of those who saw the masterly skill with which he won victory from the worlds champion Athletics were aware of the romantic event to follow a few hours later From a special box at the baseball park a pair of bright eyes watched him in the culminating achievement of his career on the mound just as they had followed his success so often since the evening about a year ago when he met his future bride at the Hotel Dewey where the Nationals at that time made their headquarters and the member of Congress from Nevada with his charming family made his home The tumult and the shouting which greeted his wizardlike prowess the baseball park were tn striking contrast with the exclusive and simple ceremony at the home of the bride where the Rev Dr Prettyman chaplain of the Senate officiated There were no bridesmaids and no best man only members of the brides family witnessing the ceremony The bride came to Washington three years ago when her father was elected to the Sixty second Congress Johnson though a veteran in the baseball world is only 26 years old His home Is in Coffeyvtlle Kans and he owns a ranch Bride in Cream Dress Last nights bride wore at the ceremony a cream lace dress covering a cream taffeta skirt She carried an Inv mense bouquet of pink roses Scarcely any one but those In the Immediate neighborhbodr was aware that anything unusual was to take place when the Nationals pitcher arrived In his automobile at the Roberts residence last night at 8 oclock He was unattended Shortly after he was followed by the Rev Dr Prettyman who performed the marriage ceremony according to the Methodist Episcopal service Surprise to His Friends Until yesterday at the second game at the ball park none of the immediate friends or teammates of the pitcher knew that the marriage was to occur last night When it was finally known the ceremony was to take place the pitcher was avalanched with questions but he was reticent He wouldonly say Youll have to take that up With Miss Roberts llridecroom Anto Play Pranks When the couple left the Raymond apartment last night an incident occurred that created

SENATORSdEMANDTHE JR00P Attempt to Fasten Apology on Shoulders of Taft Administration Fails in Its PurposeNow Asserted That Approval of Du Bois Memorandum Was Never Givenby Republican Regime The attitude of the Secretary of State in attempting to shoulder upon the Taft administration responsibility for the apology to Colombia in the treaty submitted to the Senate recently seems to have had the opposite effect Intended by that ofllcfal Of course It is well known that the reasoning of the Secretary of State convinced him that If he could show a Republican administration originated tha proposition he has written Into the pending treaty all those Republicans who supported the repeal of ther toll exemption law would again rally around the President and make the ratification of una ircaiy possioie Senators who are given to a milder form of speech say the Secretary was disingenuous in his statements both to the committee and to the press when he compared the treaty of 19H which he negotiated withCoIombia with the DuvBois memorandum and publicly stated that that document had the approval of the Republicai administration Call for the Proof Nowlt is asserted that approVal ct the Du Bols memorandum was never given by President Taft or Secretary Knox It la the purpose of Republican members of the foreign relations committee to cajl upon the State Department to produce the note containing the alleged Indorsement Instead If winning Republicans over to him the attitude Of the Secrets i nt Stnt has Incensed Republican senators who soyereiy criticise mm for attempting to mislead the committee and the country As stated In The Post yesterday It Is asserted by ofllclajs of the last administration that Instead of approving the Du Bois memorandum President Taft flatly refused to conslder such an prnrpsslnn if regret and that Secretary Knox heartily concurred witn mm If the Secretary of State declines to submit all the correspondence to the committee It Is understood It can be obtained elsewhere and thnt fore the treaty is acted upon in the Sen ate all the facts In their correct sequence will be made public When this is done one senator stated yesterday it will then be shown that the officials of the State Department haver placed themselves a most embarrassing if not humiliating position Dubois Ready to Testify Former Minister Du Bois reached New
