March 12. Announcement was made to-day from nn official source that the Administration has abandoned Its plan for trying to amend the Sherman Inw so ns to define by legislation what shall constitute "monopoly" or "monopo- llsatlon" of trade. Thtt rnnrlualnn ha been reached by tho President appar.ntly arter a inrmcss effort to bring order out I chaos In the trut legislative gramme. So mmy difficulties were en-, countered In on effort to frame legislation that would define Just what the Admlnls- uciiiiilu'ii vi mc t-ouns nn tney nave con- structl the Sherman law in punishing i monopoly, Some of the ablest lawyers on the Senate nni1 House committees which have ii-t-u ivusiuui ihk mi jirujHj&eu irutii legis lation have been very sceptical as to the constitutionality of some of the proposals put forward by the President and his ao vlscra In tho executive departments. The nlfln for mjiktntr nH. it I .u. plml... tlon as between different purchasers of commodities a penal offence was probably ono ' the most troublesome feature of d - - the sltua- .? - P'emcmary legitiaiion oi a aennmvo cnar- acter should be confined to making a per sonal application of guilt for the creatln of the monopolies as described by the present law and Interpreted by the Su preme Court. The President let It be known to-day that he had accepted this view. It was learned also that the President believes a distinction should be drawn ty the Judiciary Commlttoe between holding companies, on which the ban Is to be placed, and what the President terms "owning" companies. Mr. Wilson considers that perfectly legitimate cases may exist where a cor poration In one State may find It nocca aary to Incorporate In another State In order to do business there. Tho mere fact that the parent corporation owns the subsidiary should not, In the opinion of the President, be accepted as proof of restraint of competition. RADIUM ORE BILL REPORTED.

In the meantime the others had run to 105th street, then to Manhattan avenue, back to 104th street and Into the apart-1 ment house at No. 27.

When tho police came to question him he could assign no reason for the attack on him nnd the detectives con cluded that It must have lieen a case of mistaken Identity and that the gangster had got the wrong man. Later the contractor remembered nn affair of a few days before when he had been threatened with nrrett by a woman because of tho death of the bulldog, He told the police that the bulldog, sent by the woman from downtown to her sister's house uptown, had been put on tho roof one night and was found In the street next morning, dead.
