the dlsputt over the giving up of

to the armistice because Turkey re

WILSON GOING 10 MAKE
BHD 1RUS IS BE GOOD
Trenton, Jan. 21? Woodrow Wil
son met a number of leading demo
crats last night and expressed his
views on contemplated legislation.
He roundly scored the existing cor
poration laws, and said that he
would advocate sweeping changes In
all governing trusts and giant cor
porations as soon as he had assum
ed the ret 'is of power. If his Pro
gram Is carried out, he will make
it a criminal offense to organize
trusts, and those who promote or
enter into combinations for the pur
pose of freezing out others, or for
the purpose of restraining or grab
bing all the business of any kind,
will receivo jail sentences and noth
ing less.
Mr. Wilson reiterated that hon
est business need have nothing to
fear at his hands, but dishonest
business would have to go. Trusts
and restrictive corporations are
classed as dishonest business by the
incoming president.

of Clarence Harrow charged with
Jury bribing. Much difficulty is be

prejudices jurors from the fact that
the previous trial had been attend
ed at some time by nearly the
whole population of the county,
many of whom formed opinions
which takes evidence to remove,
consequently the attorneys have no
hope of obtaining a Jury for many
