seminary, who Is charged with holding
views at variance with thc doctrines of the

error when interpreted in their natural and
intended sense.

INQUIRY INTO CORPORATION LAWS.
Testimony About New Jersey and
West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S-The Industrial
commission today heard testimony bearing
upon the corporation laws of the states of
New Jersey and West Virginia. C. II. King
of Jersey City, representing the New Jersey
corporation agencies, stated that his COM
pany represented several hundred corpora
tions which were registered in his office. He
declined. however, to give full list of tho
companies. Mr.. King attributed the popu-
larity of New Jersey for the Incorporation
of trusts to the effect that the state granted
a more liberal charter than do most other
states. He thought, however, that under tho
New Jersey laws not only the stockholders
but the public as well were amply pro-
tected
A. p. Neyin. a New York attorney, who
represents several corporations originating
In West Virginia detailed at length the
provisions OF the West Virginia corporation
laws. He said that companies incorporated
In that state were n2t required to keep Ggen S
there or to have on nle anywhere in the

Change in the Portion of His An
nunI Report Which Refers to 1t.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Admiral Crown
inshield chief Of the Navigation bureau.
has made change in that portion of his
annual report which refers to the failure
OF the departments efforts to redeem its
promises to reward the naval heroes Of the
war. The language of the report now stands:
THE greatest among these has not as
much as the medal which was given to each
of the hundreds who shared in victory
won in an hour more propitous for reward"
The change is explained as follows in u
footnote: "In the original draft the report
reads: In an hour more propitious for re-
ward, read, Won in more propitious
hour A misconstruction of my meaning in
these words as they originally stood has led
me to make the present reading correspond
exactly with what was meant and generally
understood in the first place"

SHALL CHINESE BE SHUT OUT
Commission Considering Whether Exclusion
Should Be Applied to Philippines.
DEWEY FkV0RS THEIR ADMISSION
Question Involves to Some Extent In
auirics United states is Making
of Powers Regarding "Opcn
Door Policy in china.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-whether The
Chinese exclusion law should be
applied to the Philippines is among
the subjects engaging the attention
of the Philippine commission. Con-
siderable evidence bearing on the ques-
tlon has been collected and besides present.
ing this testimony with their full report 1t
is expected that their recommendation will
be made. which will have considerable In
fluence in shaping the course of this gov
ernment and the action of congress.
1t is understood that two members OF the
commission, Messrs. DENLY and Worcester,
have expressed themselves as favorable to
an application Of the Chinese exclusion act
to the Philippines. From the fact that Gen
oral Otis has issued an order for Chinese
exclusion 1t Is assumed that his voice, as
member of the commission, also would be
for Chinese exclusion in the Philippines
The position Of Admiral Dewey. however,
is understood to be favorable to Chinese ad-
mission. While this personal view Of the
admiral has been expressed to friends, 1t is
not known whether he would give 1t official
expression in case all his colleagues on the
commission favored a recommendation of
exclusion. The attitude of President Schur-
man has not been made known even in an
informal way.
The exclusion question is involved to some
extent with the inquiries which the United
States is now making of other powers as to
the maintenance of an open door policy IN
China 1t was stated today in an authorita-
tive diplomatic quarter that in case the
United States adopted a permanent policy Of
Chinese exclusion in the Philippines there
was little doub: such a course would cause
China to be less friendly in her cooperation
with the plans OF the United States to ex-
tend our trade in the empire.
