man Hassan. the most powerful native
leader. visited Col. Wallace and ac.
cepted the coionei's explanation OF
American policy. He has promised to
be peaceful. There has been consid.
cradle inter.,ribal trouble. but no
dc rnoustrstious have occurred lately
in Joio against Americans. Gen. Davis
has planned to locate strong military
post in the center of the island.
The general. as representative OF
the Philippine government. will go to
iolo shortly and have a conference
with the sultan. The government is
desirous OF abrogsting the Bates
treaty with the sultan. which has
proved unavoidable and which con.
ilicts with the American laws. The
government also wishes to establish
a government for the Moros and form.
ulste a definite Moro policy. At pres.
ent the military authorities exercise
general control over the dattos. The
military prevent the recapture OF
fugitive slaves and punish fragrant
crimes. but they do not interfere with
slavery. polygamy or tribal customs.

his argument when an adjournment
was taken until the next morning.
The hearing is based on the appiica-
ton os the minority stockholders for
a permanent injunction to restrain the
Union Pacific railroad. or persons in
terested in IL. from voting the shares
owned and controlled by II In the an
nual election by the stockholders Of
the Southern Pacific company al
Beechmont. suburb of Louisville.
April Sth. The restraining order is
asked for on the ground that the Union
Pacific Is using Its stock to control the
Southern Pacific property in such way
as TO prejudice the interests OF the MI
norlty stockholders, who have no In
terest In the Union Pacific. J. II.
Keene. who Is represented by Taylor
& Co.. has alleged that the Union Pa
ciic has elected board OF directors
In the Southern Pacific company which
has diverted the earnings Of the road
SO that the Union Pacific will be the
main beneficiary. No matter which
way the injunction. suit goes here. the
final struggle Will take place In Louis
Vile. Keene Is expected to be able. un-
der the cumulative voting system per-
mitted In Kentucky, to elect several
directors OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany. and In New York the feeling Is
that he has secured enough proxies to
make him a dangerous factor in SO far
as the future control Of the road Is con-
cerned

TRUST PROBLEM DISCUSSED
BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

Milwaukee. April 4.-President
Roosevelt was the guest of the Mil
waukee Merchants and Manufacturers
Association at banquet at the Plank
inton house last night, the occasion
being the climax OF the Presidents ten
hours visit to Milwaukee. Covers
were laid for $50 representative citi-
zens.
After the banquet had been served
Toastmaster Wadhams introduced
President Roosevelt, who responded TO
the toast THE President OF the United
States" The President took this oc-
casion to give his views on the sub
ject OF trusts. He said In part:
Mr.. Toastmaster. Gentlemen-To-
day ! wish TO speak to you on the
question OF the control and regulation
OF those great corporations which are
popularity. although rather vaguely.
known as trusts. dealing mostly with
what has actually been accomplished
in the way OF legislation and in the
way of enforcement OF legislation dur
ing the past eighteen months. the Pc
riod covering the two sessions OF the
Fifty-seventh Congress. Al the outset
! shall ask you to remember that
do not approach the subject either
from the standpoint OF those who speak
OF themselves as antitrust or anti-eor-
poration people. nor yet from the
standpoint OF those who are fond of
denying the existence OF evils In the
trusts. or who apparently proceed upon
the assumption that II a corporation
Is large enough IL can do no wrong.
Il think l speak for the great ma
iority OF the American people when I
say that We are not in the least against
wealth as such. whether individual or
corporate: that We merely desire To
see any abuse OF corporate or COM
bined wealth corrected and rcmedled:
that We do no, desire the abolition or
destruction OF big corporations. but. on
the contrary. recognize them as bein.
In many cases efficient economic in
strum.nts. the results OF an inevitable
process Of economic evolution. and

only desire to see them regulated and
controlled SO far as may be necessary
to subserve the public good. We should
be false to the historic principles o.
our government II We Disseminated.
either by legislation or administration,
either for or against man because
OF either his wealth or his poverty.
There is no proper place In our society
either for the rich man who uses the
power conferred by his riches to en-
able him to oppress anti wrong his
neighbors, nor yet for the demagogic
agitator, who. instead OF attacking
abuses as all abuses should be at
tackled wherever found. attacks prop
erty, attacks prosperity. attacks men
OF wealth. as such. whether they be
good or bad. attacks corporations
whether they do well or Ill. and seeks.
In a spirit OF ignorant rancor, 10 over
throw the very foundations upon which
rest our national well-being.
1T Is clear that corporations created
for quasi public purposes, clothed for
that reason with the ultimate power OF
the state to take private property
against the will OF the owner. hold
their corporate powers as carriers IN
trust for the fairly impartial service OF
all the public. Favoritism in the use
OF such powers. uniusty enriehins
some and unjustly impoverishins 9TH
ers. discriminating in favor OF some
places and against others. is palpabiy
yiolatiye OF plain principles OF justice.
Such n practice unchecked Is hurtfui
In many ways. Congress. having had
its attention drawn To the matter. en-
acted n most important anu-rebate

prohibits. under adequate penalties.
the giving and rs well the demanding
or receiving of such preferences. and
provides the preventive remedy OF In

OF this law. and II will be enforced.
will. II is hoped. afford substantial
remedy for certain trust evils which
have attracted public attention and
have created public unrest.
