Talks With Several Callers.

President Roosevelt discussed today
with several callers proposed legislation.
Among those who talked with the Pres
Bacon, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the interstate commerce COM
mission. The President is anxious that
legislation in the interest OF shippers be
enacted at the earliest practical date. and
the matter has been considered by him
with many Of his recent callers. 1t was
stated today by one of the Presidents
callers that Attorney General Moody was
now engaged in the preparation of a bill
which substantially would embody the
views of the administration on the
question, and that the measure would be
presented to congress probably soon after
the holiday recess. The President has
announced that the bill he Is willing to
support must be fair to both the railroads
and the people, so no one-sided measure
can have his approval. He believes that
the initial steps toward the desired leg
islation should be taken at the present
session of congress, and, If possible, that
the legislation proposed should be crys-
talllzed into law at this time.
Hepburn Talks With President.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho had an ex-
tended talk with the President today on
the subject of federal charters for cor
poratons doing an interstate commerce
business The senator indicated his in
tention to introduce in the senate after
the holiday recess a measure providing
for the Incorporation under United States
laws Of all interpretations doing an inter-
state business. The bill as proposed by
Senator Hepburn Will provide that cor
poratlons now in existence must take out
federal charters, and that such corpora
tions as may be organized thereafter also
shall incorporate under federal laws All
such corporations will be under the su-
perysion Of the department of commerce
and labor through the bureau of corpora
tons.
The bill has not yet been matured thor
oughly but Senator Hepburn hopes to
have 1t ready for introduction immediate-
ly after the holidays.

 They did little in the first two rounds and the crowd began to jeer. In the third they put a little more life i'll their work and mixed it up. The fourth was faster and Decker had the best of the long range work. The fifth was also fast and Decker retained his lead
 At the opening of the sixth round Goodwin copped his right over to Georges jaw and the latter went to his knees. He was up in all instant but he never fully recovered from the punch. Both were anxious and mixed fast and warm. and i'll consequence were very tired at the finish. The last round was decidedly Goodwin's, and his work in this round earned for him draw.
