STATES RIGHTS DOCTRINE
! ASsA|LED BY BEVER|DGE
Senator Makes a Vigorous
Defense of a Central
Government
BLOW AT TRADITION
Commonwealth Unable to
Curb Power of Trade
Buccaneers

NEW YORK. March s.-Senator Bev-
eridge, addressing a banquet of the
Indiana Association here tonight. made
a vigorous defense of central gov
ernment as against the doctrine Of
states rights. He said:
The States could not make internal improve
ments. so the nation made them; the States
could not prevent the scattering of obscene
literature. so the nation did it; the States could
not suppress lotteries, the nation did it: the
States could not end the poisoning OF the people
by adulterated food, the nation is ending 1t ;
the States could not compel the sanitation Of
packing houses, the inspection of meats, SO the
nation Is compelling 1t; the States could not
preserve the country's forests, so the nation is
preserving them; the States could not irrigate
the arid West, the nation is working that
glorious and beautiful miracle; the States cannot
end the murderous infamy Of child labor so the
nation Is going to do 1t; and this is for the saw
ing Of the nation.
The States cannot attend to the buccaneers of
our business life, and the nation IS going to
control them, and this is for the benefit of the
enormous majority Of business men who are not
buccaneers.
The constitution is Ordinance OF national
life and not the articles of national dea tn
II was meant to free the hands of the American
people and not to shackle them. Marshall SO IN
terpreted 1t In the courts; Lincoln so interpreted
it on the battlefield. And today Roosevelt is
following in their footsteps and thus obeying the
Will Of the American people.

THE CASE.
Interstate COmnission's Report May BE
Made Public Next Week.

WASHINGTON, July l0.-The report OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission on the
Hartman case was completed to-day IL
will probably be made public early next
week. Just what recommendations the
commission makes in the way Of now iegis-
lation or whether il urges a prosecution
of the Hartman consolidation as q com-
bination in restraint Of rad cannot be
learned. The report tells the story of the
inquiry into the operations Of the Hartman
lines. how Is came to be made. h was
discovered. and it is understood that GER
tain conclusions are drawn tina will be
presented to Congress for its consideration
at the next session
Members OF the commission deny that
differences rave developed between any
of them and Special Counsel Frank B. Kel-
loeg. A member of the commission said
to-day that there was no room for a con-
troversy between II and Mr.. Kellogg. Mr..
Kellogg was employed odirect the Harrf-
man inquiry. He was not called upon to
make any recommendations in the case.
although his advice had been asked as to
whether any OF the transactions OF HArri-
man could be successfully prosecuted In
the courts. Mr.. Kellogg is understood TO
nave expressed the opinion that in at least
three instances the Hartman merger could
be dissolved by legal process, but whether
the commission agreed with him 10 another
point upon which the officials refuse TO
throw any light.
The commissions report on Hartman
WAS prepared. il is said, by Franklin X.

unless the Federal Government was able TO
control California Japan would consider
herself free to act directly With that State.
No such representations have been made
by Japan to this Government nor anything
that would indicate that Japan oontem-
plated any such course. As a matter Of
fact, more than a month has elapsed since
there has been any diplomatio oommuni-
cation between this Government and
japan upon any other than routine
international matters, and concerning these
there has been absolutely nothing that
indicated the slightest friction. The State
Department emphasizes its statement that
the relations betwesn Japan and the United
States are the same as between this Govern
ment and every other country. and that the
two governments understand each other
thoroughly.
1t was said to-day that no notes had been
received from Japan concerning any ques-
ton Of policy. and sofarasth San Francisco
matter was oonoerned the situation was
the same as IL had been since the decision
to have It taken up in the courts there.
The report that Ambassador Aoki intends
to leave Washington and 20 to Japan in
October was emphatically denied this morn
ing at the Japanese Embassy by Mr. .Miyaoka
the counsellor OF the embassy, The report
is understood to have come from Toxic,
but not from official sources. The state
ment was made at the embassy this morn
ing that the Ambassador had no intention
Of returning to Japan this fall for any pur-
pose.
The embassy also authorized q denial
Of the story that Japan had sent any cate
gorical notes to this Government on the
subject Of dealing with California or any
other matter. It was said hat whatever
dealings Japan might at any time have with
America would be with the Government at
Washington as it had been heretofore.
but that the situation was at present satis-
factory and the relations. as they always
had been. pleasant.

REPORT OF WAINWRIGHT BOARD.
Several Changes Recommended In Curricu-
Ium or the Naval Academy,

WASHINGTON. July 10.-The report of the
Wainwright board. which was appointed
by direction of the President 10 revise
the curriculum Of the Naval Academy,
is in the hands of Acting Secretary Of the
Navy Newb cry. and will be forwarded by
him to the President. The board sug-
geeted a number of changes, chiefly in
line with the recommendations of the
board Of visitors to the Academy. The
board recommends the combining Of the
six departments Of the Academy into
three departments. navigation with sea-
manship, mechanics with mathematics and
English with modern languages; also that
seagoing line officers be placed at the head
OF the departments Of ~seamanship and
languages. IL is further suggested that
there be no graduations under o u years,
that the tour Of duty Of officers be made
three years instead OF two at the Academy
and that a department of physical train
ing be established in charge of a seagoinG
officer. A revision OF the text books is
urged. .
The report says that the board has learned
from officers OF the Atlantic feet that the
graduates are unsuccessful in their handling
of the enlisted men, and believes that a
series OF lectures on ship duties would be
beneficial. A course or naval ethics is also
recommended, to impress Upon the young
men the traditions and honor OF the service.

TARIFF DISPUTE WITH FRANCE.
state Department Believes That IN Agree
meDt Will BE Reached.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-In spite Of the
discouraging reports which come from Paris
regarding the proposed commercial agree
ment between this country and France,
the State Department believes that the
matter ultimately will work out salts
factorily. 1t Is pointed out that the United
States is not seeking the minimum duty on
all our importations into France in ex-
change for the concessions under section
8 Of the Dingley law. Already the effort
to place the maximum duty on cottonseed
oil has been unsuccessful and the United
States will continue to enjoy the lower
duty on this product as well as on petroleum.
II is said that the imposition of the maxi
mum duty on Porto Rican coffee would be
Of no benefit to France, as the amount of
that product which France consumes
is so small as not to stimulate the growing
Of coffee In any French possession. IL
would simply that France would
buy more coffee in some other country,
inferior to that raised in Porto Rico.
The United States would not feel the
imposition Of a high duty on coffee, although
it would have a bad effect, doubtless, on
Porto Rico. II would mean that Porto
Rico would be forced to find a new market,
as France now about one-half
of her coffee output At the same time
the maximum duty would affect French
men more than Americans A large pro-
portion OF the coffee raisers of Porto Rico
are French subjects and the high tariff
would be more disastrous TO them a to
others, as they own the largest plantations.

REFUSED TO PAY CHARTER TAX.
Pullman and western Union Appeal From
DEGREES or Custer From Kansas.

WASHINGTON, July lO.-Appeals have been
filed in the Supreme Court by the Pullman
Company and the Western Union Telegraph
Company from the decisions OF the Kansas
Supreme Court ousting those companies
from tina State so far al domestic busi-
ness is concerned. Interstate business ts
not interfered with In any way by the de-
crees Of custer, as that would DO beyond
the power Of the State. but the telegraph
company Is enjoined from transmitting
kilograms between any two points wholly
within that State and the Pullman company
from collecting compensation for berths
or seats for purely local trafhc. Its dining
car service. however, was not included IN
the prohibition.
The proceedings were brought by the
Attorney-General Of Kansas under what
is known as the Bush law, which imposes
upon foreign corporations a charter tax
based on their capital stock for the privi-
lege OF transacting domestic business in
the State for a period OF twenty years.
in default of which the privilege was to be
denied them. Both companies declined TO
paw the tax and the proceedings followed.
In the case of the Western Union the
tax was $40, 100, its capital stock heiug $780,
900 900, while the Pullman company was
The contentious made by the two COM
panies are in the main similar-that the tar
is a burden on interstate commerce and
that it is discriminatory in taxing their
capital stocks used in States other than
Kansas, because il each State imposed a
like tax for the privilege Of doing business
therein the stock would be taxed forty
five times. The telegraph company alao
asserts that without the receipts from
domestic business none Of its 800 or 300 Of
fees would pay expenses, and the result
Of closing them would be to place %restric-
tions on Interstate business.
The Pullman company has an additional
claim against the validity of the tax in that
It violates the obligations Of its contract
with the railroads of Kansas to furnish
sleeping car and parlor car services.

HASTINGS, NOT HAFFEN'S MAN
MADE TAX COMMISSIONER FOR
THE BRONX BY THE MAYOR.

y. Murphy Scents n Battle and Goes
INTO Camp In Fourteenth street.
Hugh Hastings, for twelve years State
Historian at Albany, was appointed a Tax
Commissioner yesterday by Mayor McClel-
Ian. ellis the vacancy left by the election
Of John j. Brady to the Supreme Court
bench. AsJustice Brady was the representa-
tive from TIE Bronx on the tax board it had
been assumed that Mayor Mcclellan would
name a successor from that borough. But
the Mayor has not only ignored the recon-
mendations made to him by Borough Presi-
dent Haffen but he has rubbe 10 still
harder into the Murphy machine men OF
The Bronx by appointing a Republican.
When the breach between Mayor Nc
Clellan and Mr.. Murphy came President
Haffen stood by the Tammany Hall leader
and last year he frequently voted against
the Mayor in the Board of Estimate. Since
the beginning of the year, however, MIR.
Haffen has endeavored TO create the belief
that he was inclined to line up with the
Mayor, but he could never outside Of the
meetings Of the Board Of Estimate be in
dVced to commit himself as between Nc
'Clellan and Murphy. The appointment
of Mr.. Hastings may be taken as an indica-
ton Of the Mayors estimation OF MIR. Half
fen's hanings.
Mr. Hastings was appointed State His
torian in 1895 by 10Y Morton. Before
that time he was a newspaper man and
while he was in charge Of the political news
Of one of the metropolitan newspapers
Mayor Mcclellan served under him as a
reporter. The salary Of the new place is
1000 a year.
Charles +. Murphy came in yesterday
from his summer home at Good Ground.
To his friends who met him at Tammany
Hal he said that the upheaval in the City
Hall on Monday evidently meant that
Mayor Mcclellan intended to reope the
fight against him. He also said that be-
would not a a vacation this year. but
would remain in the. city lmost every
day OF the summer preparing 10 meet the
contests at the primary elections.
Speaking for publication MIR. Murphy
professed to have no fear as to the outcome
of the primary elections. He was sure,
he said, that the Mcclellan candidates
would not win in a single district.
He was asked IL IL was likely that tho
committee appointed TO pass on the con-
tests in the Sixteenth, Nineteenth and
Thirtieth districts might be expected to
make a report before the primaries.
Yes, very likely" was his answer.
In these three districts Mcclellan candi-
dates vera elected leaders, but they were
not allowed to take their seats on the ex-
ecutive corumittee. As the committee
to which the contests were referred is
made up entirely Of Murphy leaders il ia
Of course expected that their report will
ha adverse 70 the McClellan men.
