Strict Limitations.

The stringent regulations of the
new bill will prevent the Incorporation
of practically all the companies such
as have been seeking charters hereto
fore. Any three men, and invariably
the same three men, have been aoeus-
toned to apply for charters for all
kinds Of companies, naming capital
stock of several millions for each com
pany. The cost OF incorporation was
about 81.
From the time President RoosevsIt
approves the bill passed today, the in
corporator of a million-doilar company
will have to pay $500 to the Recorder
of Deeds at the time of fling the GER
tificate of incorporation
This alone would be enough to deter
many incorporatOrs, but beyond that the
bill gives the Recorder discretionary au-
thority in enabling him to refuse to
record any certificate of organization
until he is convinced that all the capital
stock has been subscribed in good faith,
and not less than 10 per cent has been
actually paid in No companies can

BOARD MAY LOOSE GAG
Chance of "Graft IN Star Chamber
Meetings Causes alarm.

The Board of Education may take steps this
afternoon to withdraw the gag law resolution
adopted at its last meeting. By the resolution
the officials of the Department of Education
were prohibited from giving any information to
the press to criticise publicly anything that
had not been settled by the board. Even City
Superintendent Maxwell was silenced by the res
olution.
The Republican officials of the board believe
that the resolution, which came from Alrick H.
Man, appotntee of Mayor Mcclellan, is
Tammany scheme to keep departmental news
out of the newspapers. The department spends
annually almost S25 100000 of the city's money,
and the Tammany members have been worrying
about the highly respectable methods by which
1t has been disbursed under the commissioners
appointed in the Low administration. Many Of
the Low commissioners have been superseded
on the board, and in few months Tammany
will be in control of the board and it's funds,
The opportunity for graft" under the gag
law. it is said, has decided the Republican
commissioners to ask for its suspension to-day.
The supporters of City Superintendent Max
well and the followers of the special committee
which has been attacking the board of exam
iners under the leadership of Mr. Man for it's
system of appointing teachers, have compro-
missed on q series Of reforms. Mr.. Mans COM
m1ttee oTered plan whereby the merit system
OF choosing teachers endangered through
making possible appeals by disgruntled appli-
cants TO the Board of Education. This would
have made political influence supreme in the
lection Of teachers in the days of absolute
Tdmmany control
The outcry Of the teachers has caused the
elimination of the Objectionable plan. DR.. Max
well, it is reported. has consented to allow the
faculty Of the Normal College voice in the
preparation and the marking of future exami-
nation papers for License No /. He also may de-
eide to allow graduates of the seven-year course
