Washjngton, Dec 14. The house of
representatives by a vote of 300 to 1
passed the Sulzer resolution, which

Morgan's
Former Partner
Suggests
Jail Sentences.
Washington, Dec. 14. Prison sen
tences for individuals violating the
regulations of a proposed "business
ot controlling commission,"
were suggested by George W. Per
kins, former partner of J. Plerpont
Morgan, before the senate interstate
commerce committee. Perkins said
that the relocation of licenses would
not be sufficient and that a "business
court," to be effective, should have
power to send malefactors to jail,
Ho suggested the "business court"
as a means of immediate relief in
the solution of the trust problem,
and said It should be composed large
ly ot experienced men and be a part
of the department of commerce and
labor. This body, he said, should
have power to license corporations
doing an Interstate or International
business.
