Kalamazoo, Mich. Feb. 9.-At the
annual banquet of the Lincoln club
here tonight James r. Garfield COM
missioner of corporations spoke on the
regulation Of commerce and the use Of
national resources.
with the growth of corporations"
he said, great evils have come. 1t
is through them that corporations
have worked injury that officers and
directors have misused the funds 10
corrupt your representatives an1 have
used the law to shield their wrongs
Recognizing the fact that We can
not curb the corporations we must
set to work to regulate them, regI-
late them in such a way that their
influence will be for the good of our
great Industrial growth.
1--WE should work to construct and
control but not to destroy. Sta-e reg
ulation is impossible because of the
natural inclination of one state to
grow faster than its neighbor
I'VE hear much of the wrongs OF
the corporations. IT is likewise a.
true of the trades unions. 1t Is true
that the trades unions are good whcn
they seek to elevate but labor should
not seek to oyerrun capital
In publicity and its effects M. Gar
field saw remedy for existing con-

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN
P0ST0FFICE DEPARTMENT

Washington. Feb. 10.-An import
ant change in the administration of
the DostOffice department will be-
become effective about the 18th inst
when the division of correspondence
will be divided and distributed among
other bureaus of the department.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Hitchcock recommended the change in
his annual report. and it has been APP
proved by Postmaster General Cortel-
you.
'It is of the highest Importance to
people who use the mails" says Mr..
Hitchcock. that this change should
be made. Much purely legal work now
devolving up the division of cores
pondence should be transferred to the
assistant attorney general for the post
office department. This requires care
full study and application of the law,
and for an exact and comprehensive.
knowledge of many branches of the
law. 1t should fall, properly, within
the province of the principal law Of
ficer of the department.
"One function now exercised by the
division of correspondence belongs
appropriately to the third assistant
postmaster general This is the en-
forcement of the statute relative to
the limit of weight of mail matter. EX-
perience has demonstrated the unde-
STABILITY of a divided responsibility in
such cases.
Another function of the division
of correspondence to be transferred is
the mana cement of the box rent and
key deposit business. This will go to
the division of salaries and allow
anees. where it was formerly con-
Quoted"

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire
Washington, Feb. 9,---Lady Cook of
England, formerly Miss Tennessee
Claflin had an audience with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, making a plea to the
president for his support of the move
ment to give suffrage to women.
MY interview with the president
was most charming one. can un-
derstand how his wonderful popular
ity with the people. l feel that / have
been amply repaid for my trip to
America" declared Lady Cook after
the conference.
Lady Cook and Olive Logan called
on the president on a two-fold mission,
their principal object being to discuss
with him the question of suffrage for
women.
The president expressed his regret
that he could do nothing for Olive
Logan, who sought a position in the
congressional library because of a
defect in her hearing.
Lady Cook came to the relief of her
friend by providing her with a home
in England, so that her declining years
may be more comfortable.
The interview was not confined to
the question of suffrage. 1t covered a
broad range OF subjects in which the
president is interested. such as mar
riage and divorce the perpetuati0n of
the race and kindred questions.
THE president told me he had the
greatest admiration for women" said
Lady Cook. ''and declared we are the
power behind the throne"
Lady Cook stated that she pointed
out to the president that inasmuch as
aliens and the negro race have been
given the right of franchise she could
not see why women should not be ac-
corded the same privilege.
President Roosevelt led me to be-
lieve that If after a careful study of the
question Of suffrage for women he
thought 1t would advance them. he
would lend his influence, in behalf of
the measure
"The president told me he did not
see that much good came of a result
of giving women the voting privilege,
where it had been extended to them.
He could not see that the mere fact
of them having this right is going to
be their redemption"

New York, Feb. 10.-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw probably will not. as had been
expected, return to the stand tomor-
row morning when the trial of her
husband for the murder of Stanford
White is resumed.
The strain of the last few days, in
which she has been made to live again

tim of the architects caprice, has told
severely on the young woman, and to-
night it was stated that the prisoner
had come to her rescue and demanded
a respite for his wife.
On her visit to the Tombs Saturday
Mrs. Thaw told her husband that she
had suffered greatly during the or
deal when her association with White
was Laid bare and Thaw communi-
Gated the fact to his attorneys. He
told them that his wife was in bafs
shape and requested that she be given
an opportunity to recover herself. At
torney Delmas then set about to SO re-
arrange the plans Of the defense that
Mrs. Thaw's presence in court as a
witness would not be REQUIRED until
Tuesday.
If tonight's plans do not miscarry
Mrs. Thaw will not be recalled until
Tuesday and her cross-eXamination by
the district attorney, Jerome, will be-
gin Wednesday,.
Another development today that
startled those directly concerned in
the case. was the reported Illness of

Today was said to have been Thaw's
best Sunday in the Tombs. He rose
after what he declared " have been
a restful night in good SPIRITS and with
hearty appetite. He did not attend
service in the chanel. hut spent the
morning with the newspapers and in
