First of Series of Trust Laws Advo
cated By Administration Pass
es the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—The first
of the trust bills advocated by Pres
ident Wilson and the administration
have been passed by the Senate.. The
bill provides for a trade commission

vent the exorbitant prices charged
by the trusts and to prevent the big
interests from securing a monopoly
by driving out small competitors by
rate cutting.
The remaining bills regulating
trusts are expected to pass this week,
as the Republicans have withdrawn
their opposition and will not aid the
Democrats who are fighting the ad
ministration.

TIME AS BEING TRAITOR
j GENETVA, Aug. 8.—For the first
time in history a native Swiss has
been accused of being a spy In his
own land on behalf of another coun

attaining this unenviable distinction
is a member of the National Council.

name and most of the facts in the i
case, Ff>r which Swiss papers are
loudly clamoring. It is stated, how
ever, that the man, who was arrest
ed in Zurich, had been suspected for
some time past, and that a search
of his house disclosed convincing
proofs of his guilt. He had been
particularly active in getting and dis
posing of Information concerning the
Swiss defenses on the Italian fron
tier, say the authorities.
