BEGINS IT'S REAL WORK.
Schley Court of Inquiry Considering
Evidence Behind Closed Doors
TO Meet Daily.

Washington, Nov. 10. At ten
o'clock Admiral George Dewey and
Rear Admirals Benham and Ram
say, composing the Schley court of
inquiry, met at their quarters in the
Mclean building behind closed doors,
and began the discussion and consid-
GRAFTON of evidence brought forward
in the investigation concluded last
week.
The sittings of the court are to be
strictly secret. Their present plan
is to hold daily sessions from ten to
half-past twelve o'clock, adjourn
ing at the latter hour for the day,
though this arrangement may be
changed as the work of the body
progresses. The court has two small
rooms for its work-one for the
members themselves, and the other
for the accommodation of clerical
help. At the door of the latter is
stationed a sergeant of marines
whose uniform would be the only
surface suggestion to a chance caller
that something out of the ordinary
was going on in these two little
rooms.
The court adjourned at 1890 for
the day.
Admiral Dewey said after Mon
days session that as yet he could
not foretell how long it would be be-

New York, Nov. 12.-In his forth
coming message to congress Presi-
dent Roosevelt win take strong
grounds in favor of legislation to
compel trusts and vast industrial
combinations to change their atti-
tude toward the public, says a WASH
ington dispatch to the New York
Herald.
Mr.. Roosevelt desires to safeguard
the interests of investors by requIr-
ing great corporations like the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, that do
an interstate business, to make
known facts as to the intrinsic value
of their securities. He may also adj
wise congress to pass laws that win
protect employees in their right to or
ganize, and he is expected to favor
an amendment to the Sherman anti
trust law that win enable the de-
partment of justice to get evidence
of the existence of monopoly with
out employing detective methods.
Safeguard Against Fraud.
publicity" is to be the watchword
of Mr.. Roosevelt on this important
question. He will recommend that
congress pass law that will guaran-
tee the public against fraud and
enable investors to know exactly
what they are buying when they
purchase individual stocks. This will
appeal with strong force to thou
sands who have been led into maxi
ing investments in securities only to
discover that they have been de-
ceived by financial freebooters and
that the stocks they have acquired
are not worth the value of old paper.
just how congress can carry out
the presidents wishes is question
that is not yet clear One member
of the cabinet has suggested that
provision be made in the statutes inn
posing a heavy internal revenue tax
on corporations that do not disclose
facts the public are entitled to know,
and RENTING the tax in the case of
each corporation that gives to invest
ors the proper information.
The president will declare that
many trusts and combinations have
been so created that are now so man
aged as to be decidedly injurious to
the interests of the people He takes
the ground that while a good trust
may be good thing, a bad trust is
exceedingly bad thing, The presi-
dents paragraph on this subject as
now written does not mince matters.

a serious one, which must be dealt

Washington, Nov 10. - The next
necessity of reducing the revenues by
$130,000,000 year, in order to avoid
a surplus that will invite reckless APP
preparations. Secretary Gage recent
ly made an estimate of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures,
which predicted surplus for the
year of $S0,000,000 The tremendous
flow of money which has since start
ed has compelled him to add $50,0o0,-
600 to this estimate. Very early in
the session the ways and means COM
mittee viii probably bring in bill
materially reducing the internal rev
enue war taxes. The purchase of
bonds absorbs only few millions of
dollars at the most and there seems
to be less and less disposition to sell
bonds. The reduction in the war rev
enues by the latest congress was
much less than estimated. The in
creased business of the country
showed itself in the increased returns
from internal taxation. If all the
war taxes, except those on beer and
tobacco, were to be abolished re-
duction estimated from S8,000,000 to
S15,O00,000 would be effected. That
is almost certain to be done. in any
event, and an attempt will be made
also to abolish the extra taxes on
beer and tobacco, or to modify them
materially. The tax on beer next
year will bring in a revenue of more
than S2O,0O0OOO and the tax on to.
