SECRETARY sTRAUs, IN HIS AN

RECOMMENDS CONTROL

A Less Stringent immigration Law
for Chinese Higher Classes and ar
Increasing Severity in the ReguIa

Washington, Dec. 9.--National Ecn
troll of corporations; a less stringent
immigration law for the Chinese high
er classes; defects in the contract
labor law; an increasing severity in
the regulation of steam vessels, ana
especially those carrying passengers
on inland waters-these are some oi
the recommendations contained in the
annual report of Oscar S. StrauS, sec
retary of commerce and labor, which
was made public.
He lets the whole subject of Japan
eSe immigration severely alone.
After compliment;ng the large cor.
pOrate interests of the country, which.
he says, had materially aided him in
various Investigations, and speaking
OF the publicity aimed at in corporate
affairs, he adds:
80 great has been the centraliza,
tion in business affairs that such pub
licity con only be obtained through
the general government, and that III
timately the national development oi
Industries will force the adoption of
a national system of regulation OF
as that already applied to national
banks in order that the significant
facts Of corporate management may
be correctly laid before congress and
the public as the only proper basis
for fair and intelligent action there.

He draws attention to the fact that
in 1905 China held first rank among
Oriental countries as a cosumer OF
American products, our exports to
China that year amounting to $4,000,
600, while in 1906 China imported
$44, 100000 of American products and
during the present current year only
$26, 100000.
The secretary continues in part as
follows:
"The subject of immigration is nat
urally one that has advanced to a po-
sition of greater Importance in this
country than in any other country
during modern times. The laws that
have UGSu lJdSSSO upOll CllC oubJSCNJ
while in no way hostile to immigration
as such, have proceeded upon the
general policy of selection, thereby
excluding more and more individuals

The notion that meat Is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh Is no longer as prevalent
as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a

The Spread of TEMPERANCE.

To drinking. says Lecky, must be at
tributed most of the crime and an
immense proportion of the MISERY OF
his nation; and what is true of Eng
land is true OF the United States. AS
the beginning of most violent crime
on big scale in English history is
parallel with the spread of strong
drink, so in our country crimes of vio'
lence, crimes OF debauchery, political
corruption, the waste of wages, the
ruin OF families, all have their home
aud origin in the saloon. Civilization
will not he a success until the saloon
is but a memory of what men once
endured. West and south in the Unit
ed States today the path to temper
ance is being followed with more de,
termination than ever in the history
of our country. In more territory is

Speaking Of the honesty Uf banks
and few of them cause loss through
deliberate dishonesty kennan
in McClure's pertinently, but perhaps
a little unkiudly, recalls the expert
ence OF a San Francisco bank showing
that depositors are not always to be
trusted. After the earthquake, ac-
cording to the story. the German Ma.
tional bank. which had lost all its
books. asked its customers to state
the amounts they had on deposit. The
officers knew precisely the amount
they had lost in the aggregate but did
not have record of the individual ac-
counts. The sums specified by the
hepOsitors exceeded the known dcpos-
its Of the bank by more than SIS, 900
This showed that customers were talk
ing advantage of the situation. but
rather than question their honesty the
bank charged the amount to profit and
loss and paid all demands in full
This true story should teach the aver
age man who rails against corpora.
tions that perhaps he isn't to be trust

NOTED ACTRESS A SUICIDE
MRS. CLARA sLooDeooD KILLS
HERSELF IN BALTIMORE.
Only Known Reason for Action 10
That She Feared Attack Of
Nervous Prostration.

Baltimore, Md.-Mrs. Clara Blood
good, the actress, committed suicide
by shooting in her room at the Hotel
Stafford here Thursday evening.
Mrs. Bloodgood's body was found ly.
ing on the bed with a bullet hole
through the roof of her mouth. Near.
by lay a book entitled How to Shoot
Straight" and a 3S-caliber revolver
with three chambers empty. She at.
Tended a matinee performance at Al
baugh's theater in the afternoon and
returned to her hotel about four
O'Clock, seemingly in the best Of
spirits.
Later when it was time for the cur
tain to rise for her own show at the
Academy of Music, where she was ap-
pearing in THE Truth" she had not
put in an appearance. Word was sent
to the Stafford and bellboy was sent
up to her room. Just as he approached
the door he heard a pistol shoot. Hur-
rying back to the Office he notified the
clerks and an investigation was made,
and Mrs. Bloodgood was found dead on
her bed.
Before retiring to her room she had
talk with her stage manager, John
Emerson, who declared that he OBJ
served nothing unusual in her de-
meanor. The only motive he can as
cribe is that Mrs. Bloodgood feared an
attack of nervous prostration. She
had been working very hard, he said,
and she feared a breakdown. Mrs.
Bloodgood left note addressed to her
husband, who was said to be on his
way to this city.
The audience at the Academy of
Music was dismissed with the an
nouncement that there would be no
performance owing to a sudden indis-
position of Mrs. Bloodgood.
