BILL OF SENATOR MATTHEWS.

He Pays He Believes Tlut TrustCompanies Are Driving Small

Dealers and Lawyers Outof Business.

nErt nuc special.Jefferson City. Mo , Jan II Senator Mat-

thews of St. Louis County introdjctd a billin the upper branch of the General Asem-b- lj

y at the trut companies.In brier. It amends the law bj prohibiting

trust companies from buyi'ig and sellingr?al estate and from acting as executors ofwills. As the trust companies draw a greatpart of their revenue from this source un-der the jirent statute, it is not probablethat thej will see this privilege taiten awayfrom them without a hard fight for recog-nition.

The Matthews bill, which was read for thefirst time Jo-da- y, strikes out all In section17. Revised Statutes of ISiW. between theword "act" in line 2S and the word "for"where used for the serond time In line Z.This clause relates to real estate and per-mits trust companies to act "as agent orattorney in fact for any person or corpora-tion in the management and control of realor personal property and the fcale or con-veyance of the same and for the investmentof nones."

The other clauses which are stricken outread iv follows:

"To accept from and exercise trusts formarried women in respect to their separateproperty, whether real or personal, and toact as agent for them in the managementof such property, and generally to have andexercise such powers as are usually hadand exercised by trust companies Sixth, toact as executor under last wlil or as ad-

Senator Matthews, In explanation of thebill, said that ho believed the trust com-panies were driving the small real estatedealeis out of business

"Only the lanse firms are able to copewith the trust companies under the presentlaw." he said. 'Under the present sjs-te- m

nearly all of the property is being soldby trust companies, whereas in the past thebusiness was cuttered among a host ofcompetitors, who saw that the lncrests ofth"ir clients were attended to in just agood shape as the large companies are do-ing rt present

"You can go down to the Probate CourtIn St. Louis and there "ou will find trustcompany lawjers representing estate afterestate. Why should the bu'iness of the ej

Formal Declaration of Election ofHopkins Was a Gloomy

Ceremony.

HE EVADES THE MAIN ISSUE.

His Position on Election of TJnitt'd

Undefined.

ltcrura-i- c srcci l.Springfield. Ill . Jan. 21 Congressman Al-

bert J. Hopkins was declared elected UnitedStates Senator in joint secsicn of the Illi-

nois Legislature at high noon Hedelivered a set speech, which was remarka-ble, chiefly for the omission of all referenceto Cullom and Maon, the present' Senatorsfrom Illinois, and his evasive declarationregarding his position on the election ofUnited States Senators by a direct vote ofthe people.

On the latter point he declared he had nointention of stating that he would "supportor oppose any specific legislation" in theSenate. He thought his past record wouldfurnish an indrx as to, his views on everysublcct of nublic interest.

The Sherman and antl-Tat- elementamong Senators and Representatives weresullenly silent all the time.

For twenty jears I have witnessed elec-

tions of United States Senators by the Illi-

nois Legislature, and I never saw one thatwai as dull and uninteresting. There wasnot a particle of enthusiasm displajed bymembers or by the galleries.. Had it notbeen for the two or three cues furnishedby Lleuteuant Governor Northcott therewould have been no applause.
