BACKS UP PRESIDENT
Measure Intended to Check
Overcapitalization by a
Graded Taxation System

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Sem
ate to-day continued the consideration
of the joint statehood bill, with Nell
son as the principal speaker. A num-
Der of bills were passed, including one
largely increasing the fees for cor
poration stock companies in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
During the early hours of the ses-
sion to-day there were several echoes
of the Presidents message of yester-
day calling attention to abuses under
the corporation laws of the District
OF Columbia. A bill intended to cor
rect the existing evil was introduced
by Senator. Platt of Connecticut The
Senate passed a bill intended to re-
strict the number of new corporations
and removing the temptation to ex-
cescive capitalization. This it is pro-
of 4 fee of 80 cents on every thous-
and dollars of capital stock of new
corporations.
While this bill was under consider
alton Bacon made inquiry as to
whether it was intended to cure the
evils relating 10 local corporations
which had been pointed out by the
President. Gallinger replied that it
would have beneficial effect in regu-

future, but would not in any way reg
ulate existing conditions. He added
that some of the lawyers of the SEN
ate were giving attention to the prob
lem as it relates TO present corpora
tions.
Following this colloquy Platt intro
duced his bill and on motion of CAL
linger il was referred to the Judiciary
Committee. In presenting the meas
ure Platt said that it did not entirely
suit his own views of the remedy.
The following bills were passed dur
ing the day:

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 31.-A quarrel with
his 15-year-old bride two years ago
led George Pellom, alias Parker, to en-
list in the United States navy. Long
ing for her led him to desert the train
ing ship Pensacola at San Francisco
On October 13, 1903, and rejoin her
in st. Louis. Fear of arrest led him
yesterday to surrender and the hope
of saving her name from connection
with the case led him twelve hours
later to deny that he was married.
To-day, however, when told that his
wife had admitted all, he told his
story, piece by piece, still attempting
To shield her.

President and Cabinet De-
eide That "Dilly-Dallying'
Shall Come to al End

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-It can be
said by authority tha, unless the cor
porations constituting the alleged
beef trust shall heed the injunction
made permanent yesterday by the de-
cision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, the Government will In
stitute proceedings against the indi-
vidual members of the corporations to
enforce the decision of the court. The
proceedings will be unSer the criminal
law, if such can be instituted The
minds OF the President and members
of his Cabinet are made up fully on
the question. They have determined
that the beef trust" shall obey the
law, and now that the highest court
in the United States has upheld the
hands of the Administration, it is said
they will permit no further "dilly-
dallying' With ythe subject
At to-day's Cabinet meeting the
President and Attorney General Moody
shared in the congratulations of the
members of the Cabinet on the result
ot the beef trust case before the
Supreme Court. The President who
made no attempt to conceal his salts
faction at the decision of the court,
united with the members of the Cabi-
net in congratulating the Attorney
GeIeTdl. L he SUBJECT was cOnSlCSfeQ
briefly at. the meeting. but no definite
conclusion was reached as to what
action, if any, the Government would
take in the future, except the general
determination to enforce the law as it
had been construed by the courts. The
President and the members of the
Cabinet regard the decision of the Su-
p1eme Court as a signal triumph of
law as they have viewed it and are
prepared to carry it into effect abso-
lutely.
Again the President emphasized his
interest in the arbitration treaties
pending before the Senate. He holds
that the opponents of the treaties are
proceeding on wrong premises in
maintaining that they may be used by
foreign countries as basis for action
against certain Southern states in the
collection of old claims.
