Sherman antitrust law, which is
based upon economic fallacy, has in
directly aided the very results it was
designed to prevent, so compulsory
disclosure of corporate transactions
would undermine the competition it
was intended to support. Bearing in
mind how rapidly all kinds of bus

that the competition of individuals is
last disappearing and competition in
future will be mainly between corpor-

Knapp therefore considered the pro

neither to people nor stockholders,

of giving sanction to the principle OF

Special permission for the Dutch

cruiser Giovanni Bausan ordered Prinz
Maurits away from port, but Mont

In Caracas this is held to be a dis

CHAIRMAN OF INTERSTATE COM
MERGE COMMISSION SPEAKS.
TO ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
Says Proposed Plan Would Only
Hasten the End it Seeks to Avert
Competition in Future Not of
Individuals but of Corporations
Danger of PaternaIism.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission read a paper entitled
Capitalization and Publicity before
the Academy of Sciences yesterday.
He discussed. the proposition that cor
pOratiOns under congressional control
be required to make full disclosure OF
their genesis and operations so that it
may be seen how the amount OF
money originally paid in, or the value
OF assets at any time owned compares
with the par value of all bonds and
stocks issued. Knapp said he ven
tured to doubt the sOundness of the
argument of publicity to prevent
stock watering. He held it improved
that the excessive issue of corporate
securities was a source Of such dan
ger as to excite public alarm and said
he was yet to be convinced that en-
forced publicity would not be a harm
full exercise of public authority.
He maintained that stockholders
would be harmed by the publicity and
he failed to see wherein it was desir
able or useful to stockholders. JUST
fcation for the propositions must be
found, if found at all, in the theory
that the state is charged with the
duty of safeguarding the investment
of capital in corporate securities. This
he considered a serious proposition
and thought we should hesitate before

Versal truths that enrich life and ap-
peal to old nd young alike"
After a brief discussion a chalk talk
was given by Henry Turner Bailey of
Massachusetts on Beauty in School
Work.
Reuben Post HalIeck, principal of
the male high school at Louisville,
Ky, found the temperature in Milwau-
kee a Santa Claus air, and it corrob-
Grated an impression he always had
OF Wisconsin and which he had gained
from fellow college man from Wis
consin who had a Santa Claus face.
His subject was Adolescence.

Grant human interest. Twentieth
century adolescence ought to remain

forever, SO long as teaching lasts

Prof M. V. O'Shea of the school of
education of the University of Wiscon-
sin addressed the high school and col
lege section of the Teachers associa-
ton in the afternoon on the subject
Concerning High School Teachers.
He said in part:
"A teacher who studies schoolroom
situations instead of rules would have
only the general aims of the school in
view, and would then interpret the in
dividual case before him in the light
OF this general aim, and the tendency
OF human nature. What may be good
with one class of pupils under one set
Of conditions and with one kind of
teacher may be extremely bad with an
other class of pupils under a different
set of conditions and with a teacher of
different personal qualities"

sarding Coal Shortage.

SaFuln9 GOAL shortage.
Chicago, Dec. 31.-Two investiga-
lions into the cause of the scarcity
and high price of coal in Chicago
We're begun Yesterday Attorney Gen
aral Eamlin held a conference behind
closed doors with representative of
the coal hauling railroads and a coun-
Gil committee. Neither inquiry result
ed in action by the public officials, and
both will be continued today. The
attorney generals investigation is
aimed at discovering whether there is
or has been any unlawful conspiracy
to restrain the coal trade. or to force
up prices.
Hamlin announced that he had made
rapid progress and intimated that the
greater part of the blame rests with
the dealers and not the railroads. He
threatens if he firds the coal held for
the purpose of increasing the price,
that the dealers will be prosecuted and
compelled to relieve the suffering oc-
casiored by the scarcity of coal The
fact was brought out before the scoun-
Gil committee that dealers were hold
ing vast quantities of coal merely to
keep up the prices. Their plan is to
have loaded cars recOnsigned one
railroad tr9inmaster testifying to an
instance wherein one car was recon
signed seven times.
