LiTTLEFIELD FOR CONTROL OF
BUSINESS BY GOVERNMENT

Portland, Me-, June 3O.-The conven.
ton of the National Association OF SUI
pervisors State Banks was concluded
yesterday. Congressman LittIetield
of Maine spoke. on the effect upon bank
ing of over-capitalization of corpora
tons. He said that while as rule he
opposed governmental interference in
business enterprises, ne believed there
should be a national law enacted
whereby corporations would be com.
PEELED to give true statement OF their
condition and he intended to introduce
such legislation in congress at the
next session. Justice Emory OF the SUI
preme judicial court of Maine de-
clared that the revelations in the man
agement of the affairs of the Equitable
Life Assurance society were evidence
of the need of governmental control OF
business.

WOODMEN APPEAL TO
TO SUPREME COURT

La Crosse, Wis, June 30.-Judge
Fruit has denied motion for new
trial in the case of Tanner Stevens
VS.. Modern Woodmen of America. The
action involves the question as to
what constitutes bartender. Ow
ing to the fact that Stevens was tenn
porarily tending bar when he was
accidentally killed, the WOodmen de-
clined to pay his beneficiaries $4,000
life insurance. A few weeks ago
Judge Fruit directed judgment of
$4,000 for the plaintiff, the mother of
the deceased. The defendant made
a motion for new trial. The
Woodmen refused to pay the insur-
ance on the ground chat bartenders
are not entitled to take insurance in
the Modern WOodmen. They will
appeal to the supreme court.

previously, sought the position OF CHIEF
engineer of the canal, fixing his own
salary. The secretary added:
81 am astonished that you should be
so disregardful Of the splendid oppor-
tunities of a position which would
have made you famous the world over
by the honorable performance of your
duties of chief engineer. For mere
lucre you change your position over
night without thought Of the embar-
RAISING position in which you place
your government by this action. ]
consider by every principle of honor
and duty you are bound to treat the
subject differently"
The secretary closed by demanding
his immediate resignation. 1t is ex-
pected that a successor as chief engi-
neer will be announced in few
days. The commission is in com
munication with an engineer of dis
tinguished ability and expects an an

GEORGE w. GOES SUICIDES.
President of Mating Company Ends
Life by Shooting.

Milwaukee. June 30-GeOrge w.
Goes, partner of the William Ger
ZACH & Co. mailing firm, committed SUI
icide in a malt cellar Of the plant yes
terday morning by shooting himself in
the right temple with a 32-caliber re
volver. He is said to have been de-
spondent over i'll health and to have
worried about business affairs.
Employees of the plant found the
body half hour later when they insti-
tuted a search for Goes, who was
wanted at the Office. He was dead
when found. The coroner was notified
and, after viewing the remains, had
275 Tenth street.
Mrs. Goes and her two sons, Ed
ward aged 1S, and Hans, aged II
;|1ars, were at the summer home OF
the family at Elkhardt lake.
Little reason has yet been discov-
for some time, it is said. that ffe had
been in ill health and that he had wOr-
ried over business affairs. Recently,
he had been extremely nervous. He
was at his home Wednesday night as
usual, retiring at his accustomed
hour and leaving for work at the plant
at $3.50 o'clock in the morning. Dur
ing the season the mailing business is
dull and only few of the Office force
are kept to conduct the affairs. Goes
was about the Office. working as usual
in his shirt sleeves. At 10 o'clock he
left the place by rear door and start
ed across the yards to the malt cellar.
AS Goes left the Office. he was met
by Louis G. Bohmrich of the law firm
of Bohmrich & Williams, who had
called at the office to discuss matters
pertinent to the business of the con-
Germ. Goes paused and chatted with
him for a moment before passing on.
Mr.. Bohmrich noticed nothing unusual
in his actions. When Goes had not re-
turned half hour later, employees of
the plant were sent to look for him.
They found him lying in the bottom
OF one of the large malt cellars of the
plant. Blood trickled from a jagged
opening above the right temple and
stained the floor about his head A
revolver was tightly clutched in his
right hand. He had been dead for
some time.

Secretary Taft accordingly submitted
to Wallace by cable the detailed plan
of reorganization Of the commission
and received this reply by cable:
'ePlan excellent Satisfactory. Ora
cias (thanks)."
The statement says that Wallace eX-
pressed unequivocal approval OF the
distribution Of duties and powers de
fined in the executive order. especially
those relating to the Office of chief en-
eineer,'' and during his subsequent
stay of six weeks In the United States
daily participated with his associates
in carrying out the same.
Twelve days after his arrival On the
isthmus Wallace sent the following
cablegram to Secretary Taft:
Wanted a Conference.
'Important complicated business
matters which cannot be arranged by
correspondence and may affect my re-
lations as chief engineer of the COM
mission necessitates my return to the
United States to confer with you and
others An order from you to return
for official consultation would prevent
apprehension on the part of employees.
Suggest Shonts remain until my ar
rival Please answer
Secretary Taft answered.:
'"rhe secretary of war aid Mr..
Shonts in accordance with your re-
quest and without knowledge of the
circumstances to justify, approve your
return for consolidation with them at
Washington"
Wanted by Trust.
When met at New York by appoint
ment the settlement says that
Wallace said that few days before
he sent the cable he received a cable
from prominent business men Of New
York asking if he would consider an
offer to accept an important position
in New York and he cabled reply
that it was simply question of terms
and commissions. cit proved to be a
definite offer of the position of presi-
dent of large holding company con-
trolling several corporations, with GER
tain stock benefits and other advan-
tages to himself, which, with the sal
airy, would be equivalent to $4,000 a
year. He delayed his answer for a
few days. to cable to the secretary OF
war during which the parties increased
the proposal, making it equivalent to
100000 or $4,000 year. He stated
that the position was an especially at
tractive one-such as he only hoped
to obtain after the completion OF the
canal-and afforded opportunities to
make money through investments,
ETC."
thus severing his connection with the
canal work, he was willing to make up
the annual report, and would, il de-
sired, continue to serve as commits
siOner, but not as chief engineer in
charge of the construction work on
the isthmus. He followed this person
al statement with a discussion lasting
half an hour regarding conditions on
the isthmus and work on the canal.
Taft Disappointed.
When he finished Secretary Taft ex-
pressed disappointment at Wallace's
action, adding:
"You come with the bald announce
ment that you quit your task at a crit
ical moment, on the eve of important
work and in the midst of re-organiza-
ton plans under which you accepted
your position, with your department
in organization and when
you know, too, that my public duties
call me to the Philippines for several
months"
The secretary declared that Wal

second fell on a brewery. In the walls

far there was no more firing. The

patch arrived here early this morning
from Sebastopol announcing that
squadron of battleships, the Tri
Sviatitelia, Sinope and Rostislaw,
with a cruiser and several torpedo
boats, only started for Odessa at

the non-appearance of the squadron at
Odessa, but it is difficult to cOnjec-
ture the reasons for delaying the de
parture two days at such a critical
juncture.
