mer The list is a formidable one,
and Judge Crisp may be engaged for
two weeks in holding aloft the scales

litigants will add color and aroma
to the temple, and the session gives
promise of being a strenuous one to
the finish.

KIPLING'S SOLUTION
OF YELLOW PERIL

TORONTO, October 19.-(SpeciaD-
Pump in the immigrants from the
old country; pump them in"
That is the solution Rudyard Kip
ling suggests for the Asiatic problem
on the Pacific Coast. Mr.. Kipling,
accompanied by his wife, arrived here
last night from a tour of the Cana
dian Northwest.
immigration is what Canada wants
in the west, said Mr. Kipling. You
must have laborers there. You want
immigration, and the way to keep
the yellow man out is to get the white
man. If you keep out the white then
you will have the yellow man, for you
must have labor Work must be
done and there is certain work a
white men won't do so long as he can
get a yellow man to do it, Pump the
immigrants from the old country.
Pump them in. England has five mil
lions of people to spare"

GLOOMY VIEW OF
RATE REDUCTION
Taken By President MUIR
ray of B. 0.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 49,.
(Special) -Serious consequences
threaten the railroads of the country
as result of the legislation adopted
by many States, according to Oscar
G. Murray, president of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company
eighty-irst annual report was mail
ed to stockholders Thursday. While
the best record for gross earnings of
this company was again broken Mr.
Murray does not take an optimistic
view of the future, and holds that the
outlook is entirely problematical.
Legislation particularly affecting
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was
mainly confined to a reduction of
the charge for passenger transporta-
ton to a maximum rate of two cents
per mile per passenger. Every state
through which the company's lines
pass, with the exception of Mary
land adopted such a law AS to its
effect Mr. Murray says in his report
that sit cannot be said at this time
with any postiveness the extent your
passenger earnings will be affected;
that it will be considerable admits of
no reasonable doubt. In some Sec
tions the incentive to travel may af-
ford some possible compensation, but
in others nothing of this character
can be looked for, and the result as
a whole is problematical"

to the talent on this side who had be-
gun to expect the foreign market to
support the market regardless of the
bear craze on this side. Futures
there were weak and unsettled, while
private advices held out little hope
of sustained advance The usual
Saturday dullness prevailed on this
side Again the weather was favor
able for the crop. Price brokers were
CONSPICUOUS by their absence during
the session and the hammer brigade
were not so much in evidence. A
surprising feature has developed in
the change of positions, March and
May now selling at a discount COM
pared with January. France and
Germany sent strong orders for prac-
tically unlimited amounts of cotton
to Southern buyers. Like Tennysons
Brook futures may come and futures
may go, but in the spot trade, the
trade that eventually tells the story,
there is no weakness and will .not be
during the life Of this crop. The 6ber-
ator who buys on scale down and
sticks the game to the finish will
find he has discovered acres of dia-
monds."

NOTABLE GATHERING
TO DISCUSS TRUSTS
Under Auspices National
Civic federation.

CHICAGO, October 19.-(SpeciaD-
What gives promise of being the
most important conference on the sub
ject of trusts and combinations of
capital and labor ever held in any
country, will be inaugurated here
Tuesday under the auspices of the
National Civic federation. The open
ing session will be devoted to con-
sideration of problems involved in
the controversy between the federal
and state governments respecting jur-
isdiction over insterstate commerce
now pending in several western and
southwestern states.
Representative appointed by the
governors of forty-two states and
territories, from Maine to California,
are expected to attend. Nearly all
national labor, agricultural, CONNER
cial, financial, economic and trade
organizations and many chambers of
commence bar associations and ship
pers organizations will also send
delegates. Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, Commits
sioner E. E. Clark, of the interstate
commerce commission, and other rep
resentatives of the government
will present the case of the federal
regulation of railroads and corpora
tions.
Being held at a time when the en-
tire country is aroused in regard to
the control of trusts and the many
problems arising from the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
and the amended interstate commerce
act, the conference is likely to have
a notable and far-reaching effect in
giving direction to public ointment.
The subjects outlined for discussion
during the three days of the confer
ence are as follows:
Governmental power over corpora
tons engaged in interstate COM
merce; the division of power under
the Constitution between the Nation
and the State; power concurrent in
Nation and State.
How should the corporation be
constructed? Should there be Nat
ional corporations as we'll as State?
The basis of capitalization of corpora
tions; their internal control; provis-
ions looking to the protection of in
vestors and the stockholders, as well
as fair dealing with the public, dis
tinction between public service and
other corporations.
The just and practicable limits of
tn restriction and regulation, Federal
and State, of combinations in trans
portation, production, distribution and
labor. Is the Tariff the Mother of
Trusts"
The alleged covert attempt to muz-
zle the freedom of the press by rails
ing the price of white paper to a
point where profitable publication of
newspapers will soon be rendered
impossible will be discussed by off
Gals and members of the American
Newspaper Publishers assicoation.
1t is likely that the subject of the
$29,000,O00 fine imposed by Judge
Lands on the Standard Oil Company
will become subject for discussion
at future sessions of the conference.
