Special Washington Correspond ent of The Times. By Clydf H. Tavenner. Washington, June 27. Why has the government been unable to con the trusts? While this question has not as yet been definitely answered, the House investigating committee are bringing out testimony which tends to throw light on the subject at least to the end of showing that the great trusts of the country have at some time or an other had most of the government prosecutors on their payrolls. United States Attorney-General Wickersham heads the list. Under oath he admitted that the last thing he did before taking charge of the prosecuting machinery of the nation was to draw down his share of a $26,000 fee from the sugar trust as a member from the New York law j firm of Strong and Cadwallader. the Democratic Congressional com' mittee and as such assumes general supervision of the campaign in every district in the United States. He is also chairman of the standing com' mittee on accounts and closely scrutin izes every item of expenditure in the lower House. He is also' chairman of the special committee on organiza tion, or clerical force, a job with i world of detail. In addition to all these and his oneorous duties as a congressman, Mr. Lloyd delivers numerous addresses before societies, schools, etc., and is always to be found in his seat when the House is called to order. Speaker Clark Against Gag Rule. Speaker Champ Clark is opposed i to the gag being applied to govern I ment employees. President Taft is j endeavoring to enforce a Roosevelt J rule which prohibits government em- ployees from giving information even I to members of Congress. The em i ployees are also prohibited from cal ling the attention of members to any Henry P. Taft, brother of the Pres-, finances. Speaker Uark denounc- ident, is still a member of this firm u. - uC- whose specialty is to show the sugar !clarf he will listen to grievances of trust and other great industrial coi"T- ' , C " ucauc lu .j porations how to evade the law and """""" """ escape prosecution. That Frank B. Kellog, special coun sel to the United States and widely advertised by the Republicans as the I great trust buster, has received thou sands of dollars from the govern ment at the same time that he was re- : fere. Bread Trust Has Easy Sailing. A $25,000,000 bread trust which j will operate, to start within 21 large j cities, has been formed in New York ' under the name of the General Bak i ing Company.

The $171,000 bond issue of Drain age District No. 1, floated in order to provide means for paying for the ad ditional work to be done on the main ditch, will be sold, in accordance with an oruer ot tne county court, on Tuesday, July 18, 1911. In all, 342 bonds of the face value of $500 each will be issued, the entire issue to bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. Bonds will fall due on January 1st of each year as follows: No. 1 and 2 3 " 4 5 " 6 to 9 inclusive 13 " . 7 10 " 14 " 21 " ' 27 1 1 37 " " 65 " 97 " " 131 " " 167 " " 201 " " 235 " " 271 " " 305 " " 341 " There is no issue will be premium, one 20 26 36 64 96 130 166 200 234 270 304 340 342 doubt sold bid. 1914 1915 1916 1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 the entire substantial having already that nt a ney for subsidiary concerns steel trust, was developed in testi mony before the Stanley committee. It appears that Mr. Kellogg, be sides pocketing the $30,000 recently paid him by the goverment for serv ing as trust buster under Roose velt, also received from the steel trust $15,000 extra compensation for legal services rendered their corpor ations. On October 29, 1907, Mr. Kellogg was proven by his own testimony and documentary evidence in posses sion of the committee to have receiv ed a second $15,000 for extra ser vices, j These sums were received by him j in aciaition to tne regular salary re ceived by his firm from the trusts for many years past, and the last pay ment was made in the midst of the panic and only two or three days be fore the famous conference of Gray and H. C. Frick (ruling spirits of steel trust) with President Roosevelt, whereby they gained the permission of the president to commit criminal violation of the laws of the United States by absorbing the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railway company, there by exterminating their principal com petitor. This situation becomes more re markable when is it recalled that the man who appointed Kellogg Philan der C. Knox, now secretary of state was the man who went from the employ of the steel trust to the office of attorney-general and who refused in 1901 to prosecute the steel trust when convincing evidence of its vio lations of law were laid before him by the anti-trust league. Bristow Leads Reactionaries. Senator Bristow, of Kansas, assist ed by the solid delegation of special privelege senators, succeeded in tack ing an amendment to the resolution providing for the direct election of senators, which greatly endangers the information that absolutely noth ing was known there of'the formation of "any bread trust." The reply was not unusual, as the Attorney Gen eral's office is generally the last place in Washington to go to for informa tion which might be construed to ad mit the existence of any trust..

Walk to Cemetery Completed. The concrete walk to the cemetery is finished, thanks to the efforts of the Commercial Club and other pub lic spirited citizens. The building of this walk was an enterprise which, although it will return no financial benefits, speaks volumes for the spirit of improvement manifested by our citizens whose desire it is to make Butler one of the best little cities on the map.

The Drainage District contains about 41,300 acres, the assessed val uation of same in 1910 having been approximately $400,000.

The Bristow amendment is the same used by Sutherland of Utah and the ring of Wall street buccaneer in the Senate in the last session to de feat direct senatorial elections. The men who worked hardest for the Bristow amendment were Lori mer of Illinois, Guggenheim of Colo rado, Cummins of Iowa, Lippitt of Rhode Island, Clapp of Minnesota, Smoot of Utah and Stephenson of Wisconsin. The Bristow amendment was fought by LaFollette, Gronna, Borah, Poin dexter and Works, Republicans, and every Democrat in the Senate save one. Lloyd a Hard Worker.
