Judiciary. By direction of President Wilson the I Bnti-trust program, heretofore made I up of four tentative bills, is embodied. in one measure. It is the opinion of | Hie Administration's leaders that it; will be easier to pass one antl-trust j bill than a series of four. The revised program softens the re- , strictive features of the original bills i in some respects. This is notably the i ease in the provisions dealing ' with i holding companies. Other fpatures of! the revised program are more drastic' than those provided in the first in-1 stance. This is true in the matter of the I prohibitions against interlocking cH- I reetorates. In the anti-trust bills as i originally presented subsidiarv con ferns representing the legitimate growth of corporations were prohibit ed. Under the revised program the holding company prohibition does not apply to subsidiaries of this character. The new feature of the new anti- j trust program that is expected to cause ! a lot of trouble in a political way is to be found in the provisions dealing with labor.

ODD FELLOWS PI TO IKE IIS CITY LODGE HEMRTEDS Old Fight to Transfer Grand Lodge Offices Will Be Resumed at Session in May 1,200 DELEGATES ARE COMING Argument Will Be Put Forth lhat Harrisburg Is More Accessible Than Philadelphia As the time draws near for the ninety-first annual session of the grand lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, to be held here the week of May 17, Intimations that there will be a renewal of agitation to transfer the grand lodge offices from Phila delphia to Harrisburg are again rife in Odd Fellows' circles. It is said to-day that there will prob ably be a strong effort to bring the offices to this city, and that if the movement gathers the strength that it appears to be gaining, the Harris jburg Chamber of Commerce will be asked to co-operate in s uring a site j for the erection of : building. I Such an attempt was made some years ago, but was not successful. It has grown out of the alleged difficul ties of the management of the offices in Philadelphia on the grounds of ex pense, and also the ai.rment is ad- I vanced that the offices should be lo cated in a city more accessable to all parts of the State, thus economizing time and money of officers who have to do business with the order. Also it is advanced that there are more past grands within a radius of fifty miles of Harrisburg than in any other section of the State, and as these men have Jurisdiction of the various schools and homes of the Odd Fellows, that it j would be a great deal more convenient : for the management of affairs to have the grand lodge offices located in Har risburg.

It is said that the constitution is capable of a different interpretation, but even If construed so as to permit o r no other site for the official head quarters than Philadelphia then, ac cording to the plans of the insurgents, a move io amend- th<s eon«o«t»t-MHt atl as to permit of the removal of the offices will precede the direct attack toward getting the headquarters here.

A paraffin wax bath, heated to 125 degrees Fahren heit. Is a new treatment for rheuma tism, sciatica, gout and kindred ail ments, as described by Dr. Barthe de Sandfort at the Academy of Medicine last night. The physician, rinding that super heated wax applied to wounds, burns and ulcers removed all pain and caused them to heal rapidly, was led to believe that it might, be advan tageously applied to the whole body. Accordingly he went to an oil refinery and got into a vat containing 100 gal lons of wax at a temperature of 140 degrees. Not only did this cause no burning, but it resulted in a pleasant sensation. A number of patients suf i fering with various aliments were then put through" the same process, with results that exceeded the physician's ! expectations. Dr. Sandfort communicated bis dls j coverles of the properties of hot wax I to Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute.
