A practical icrMnitmt wan reached to-doj' by Prcal ilit Wilson and Democratic leader of th Judiciary Committee of tho Senate nzi llouso as to tlto anti-trust legisla te n to be enacted at the presont session o?

It I expected a uftvinl circle that tho consideration ef -ho hill will bo (nought to an Issue atii-f.o lory to Mr. Wilson. Why Wllaon Wnnt Hill Hashed. Tho ic;i30iih nctuato tho President In dfflring to procure the enactment of the measure with all practicable haste. Tho one is that tho last unsettling element in tho business situation may be removed o far as Congress Is concerned. Tho other reason Is that Congress may ad journ early enough to allow the Demo. male Congress candidates to mako thor ough canvasses. Tho importance of the latter aspect of the situation wits Impressed ' on tho President by the committee member who conferred with him to-day. The President gave over tho entire day to tne Initiation of his nntl-trust pro CMinmo. In tho morning he conferred slth tho Dimocriitlc members of the Hen a'e unnUtteo on Interstate Commerce, of uhl'h Senator Ncwlanda of Nevada is the chairman. Thin nfternoon he saw Itepresentntlvo Clayton, tho chairman, and Ilepresouta tlvs fnrlln. Webb and Floyd of the Jl 'iis' Judiciary Committee. The President disclosed to these mem ber the contents of hi message to be leiivere,'l to Congress next week and then asked their views on Uio specific provl ions which should be drawn to anibody llu) ricoinniendatlons. Tin- prevision In regard to interlocking 4u morales will be extended to Cover all trividual who exercise monopolistic con t olover combination of business, whether or 0't their names appear a directors. The President Is convinced that In many " but business men havo not found It Wcifsiry to como out Into tho open as 'f Iclala of tho corporations component of monopolies In order to maintain their runt, and he has no thought of allow mj tlio lurthcomlng bill to be so loosely 'If an a us to permit nuch persona to e clIo prosecution. Criminal Provision of Hill. Til" criminal provision of tho measure will apply with ciual force to Individu al c.tirdslng Uielr Influence through In-"sflo'-.,n? dlrectoratoi, and to those whose spv" nihility for combinations In re lra nt of conipetltlon is mora evidently i. t. Tho provtalons for tlio punlsii " ' of such Individuals will bo dras ' ' v drawn. T o provision Intended to remove tho '1' tablw ati" around tho present "h.e ian law will have many Important r't tl :atluns. Suggestions designed to ' ' '.'then thn law by additional aeotlons i lofa which the Vrosldcnt ha In mind " li! entertained freely. Three of these of outstanding Interest. One will bo to permit Individuals to " ntr rvene" III nntl-trust suits brought by Hi,, ;oernrneiit against corporation. Ultheitu It haa been Impracticable for an individual to bring suit against a corpora' tion for violation of the Sherman law wws to the cost of such litigation. t'nckr tho now provision Individual or independent corporation who may havo sunercd from tho combination complained n&'iUnst may participate with the Oovern- "ii nt in tho prosecution and get adequate operation for the offence committed. A second phase of thl provlalon will bo 'hi extension of the atatute of limitation or criminal prosecution from two to flvo ears after the commission or tho iKed lolatlon. This will allow the Gov- "tnmunt fuller opportunity to search out the Instance of tho exercise of monopo listic powers. Dot measure also will adopt Senator ka Kollttto'g plan for placing upon the 'pennant tne burden or proor wun re' card to the "reasonablenene" of the re trn!ht of trado In question.

Rear Admiral 1 Griffin of the burenu of steam engineer- 1 Ing, Navy Department, testified before the t House Naval Committee to-day that tests demonstrated that Herlng Hlver (Alnska) coal could not bo used In the United State navy easel.

He explained to tho commute that the bureau Of mines of the Interior Depart ment was bringing out t'OO tons of coal from the Matamtiska field nnd that thin would lx tested In the snino manner. "If this coal disappoints us, I am afraid we will have to give up the Idea of using Alaskan coal altogether," ho concluded.

The ques'lor. may be decided within a short time. Ti..i ..f Al.l.,m,n, nod nlmtrro.in ,f tho, special committee of the Hoard of Ball."" 11111 "'" "''" mate, admitted last night that there was under consideration the proportion of lifting thn building a few feel to the (outward of tho exact spot originally se lected : that the questions Involved were merely thoto of economy and the saving cost In construction. He would not say whether the change of position meunt the purchaso of more real estate; in fact hn did not think It would. It was ascertained that the prcsont slto hnn proved un,itlsfaetory in several ways, but no vote yet has been taken on the question of making any radical change as to thn site. The land alono cost tho city more than $5,000,000, and the rumor jesturday was that It yet inlKht bn deemed advisable, to soil the western part of the land or else to 11m It for a park. Ono of thn reasons why there I dis cussion now over tho desirability of con structing tho court house 011 tho slto is that It will be dltllrult, If not impossible, to get a rock foundation except hi tho southern part of thn iroMed sit-. The land Is hounded by Leonard street on tho north, Uifayette 011 thn wtst. on thn east by Haxter nnd l'ark streets and on tho south by the open spaces between Chambers street and tho Junction or Lafayette and Park streets. Once Wa the Collect Pond. Tho land covers what wa part of tha old Collect Pond many year ago. There is a layer of soft mud. formerly the bottom of the pond. Thn quality of thn upper layers I" Indicated by tlio settling of the I'lluilnal Courts llulldlng to the north. What Is down decimr Is not known, for the oily Wiring so far made were dug by the subway company. Those borings go down only forty feet below til" level of the subway anil ill that distance no rock was struck. Furthermore, geologists and engineers say that tne layer 01 rocK nips mou vt..nuin,i null. tin, - directly under the sharply to the northward It wa found Impossible to build the northern part of the Municipal Huttdlng on a rock foun dation because of that declivity, F.xpert- say that If a roek founda tion was deired for tlm new court house It might bn necessary to go down more than 1100 feet. Horlligs, however, have been authorized by the Hoard of Estimate to determine the exact geological forma tion. That fact shows that tho land was bought without n careful and scien tific investigation a to tho building con dition. 11 i.-iiM Admitted esterdav that the gen- 1 logical formation has something to do with the doubt now raised. It was as- serted. however, by engineers that it Is perfectly possible to construct a bulldlm; of no great height and of tho character of the proposed court house on such n soli. There Is a prosltioii under discussion to build tho court house on the southern part of tho plot, where solid roen can oe found. There is another to construct It to tho east of Centre street, thu leaving unused two block thnt the city bought. It Is reported that several unglnceiv have disapproved of thn Idea of putting thn building where it whs planned nt Hint to place It. Sil Site Will He t'acd. When Mr. McAimny was united concern ing the proposition Inst night hn s.ild em phatically: "Tho city Wnight the land as a slto for a couit house and thn court house will bn constructed 011 that site. Whllo there Is a suggestion before the committee of tho nature you outline In regard to hnvlmr tho building to tho enMiuird of Centre street, It Is merely a suggestion. No uctlou has been taken.
