that wonderful progress is being

that within three years time one
will be able to board an airship

SHAW DEPLOR[S
CURRENCY SYSTEM
Declares Roosevelt Admin
iStratiOn Gave Valuable
Warning to People.

MARSHALL, Mich, Feb. 12.-Deelar-
ing that the time has arrived when
primary consideration should be given
10 the restoration OF industrial and
business activity. Leslie NJ. Shaw.
formerly Secretary of the Treasury, in
an address at the Republican Club last
night, said that there should be cur
Tency legislation which would make
impossible a repetition Of the recent
panic.
Mr. Shaw deplored the fact that for
the first time under Republican admin
istratiou there are free soup houses in
every industrial center. lie pointed out
that at the close Of a most active and
prosperous business year, with a crop
worth more than $1,000, 10000 Just har-
vested, banks in every large city sus-
pended money payment simply because
OF a defective currency system.
He declared the Roosevelt admins
tration admirably fitted to the times
and held that it had served notice and
the service had been accepted.
Mr. Shaw pointed out that within a
hort time the railroad facilities of the
country will again be inadequate and
that, although money Is now abundant
at low rates OF interest. industrial and
railroad enterprises are unable to Dor
row az any price. He said that the re-
storation Of confidence, both at home
and abroad. in the stability and security
OF property rights is a primary essential

tons taken to guard the Pope from any
danger OF violence while celebrating
the rite Of the Greek Church yesterday

were the direct result Of police warnings
or revival OF anarchistiC activity

following the assassination OF King car
los and Prince Luiz, that the crime was
oeHeVed there TO be only the first one
or q series planned By q terrorist organ

continental cities. Acting on these ad-
vices from the Lisbon authorities. as
well as on reports By outside police
agents, who fully investigated con-
dluons in Lisbon. extra care mas been
taken ever since the Portuguese tragedy
TO prevent similar attempts elsewhere.
The original intention was to have
held yesterdays services in St Peters

OF the vast crowd sure 20 assemble with
the attendant opportunities for an At

FEDERAL CONTROL
INDORSED BY KNOX
Pennsylvania Senator Prin-
ciPal Speaker Before Kala-
maZoo Lincoln Club.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. Feb. I2.-That
the Federal regulation Of the railroads
In the United States will prove to be of
great benefit TO the corporations and
to the investors alike was the subject
OF an address delivered last night BY
Senator Phiia nder G. Knox at the an
nual banquet Of the Kalamazoo Lincoln
Club.
Senator Knox declared that il rail-
road managers had respected the trust
imposed in them there would have been
no need for the regulative legislation
which began in 1887. This legislation
was made necessary, ne said, because
OF the fiagFant disregard by officers of
the railroad companies OF their otBga-
ton to the public, and their duties to
the security holders.
AS the reform instituted BY the Roose-
welt Administration progressed, the
Senator said, unscrupulous men intern.
3erately condemned every forward step
and endeavored to break down the
credit and efficiency of the railroads.
lie said that charges that the reform
would only result in disturbance OF
business had been disproved. and that
matured national legislation did not in
clude attack, enmity, or injury TO sound
business interests, either corporate or
private.
In conclusion. Senator Knox said:
There is nothing ia present condi-
lions requiring any strain upon our insti-
tutions 10 supply a remedy for any mis-
chiefs that plague the public. and here
are no mischiefs the correction OF s-hich
may not be attained without dlstu hing
the public welfare. There is enough
Federal power. II not enough Federal
legislation. 10 meet all Federal emers gen.
cies. There Is nothing affecting the sx-
ternal affairs Of the nation or such m
ternal ones as are committed 10 Its
charge that Congress cannot regulate;
there IS nothing that affects them in-
juriously that Congress should not reg
ulate. and there Is nothing which does
not belong 70 the Federal jurisdiction
that Congress should attempt to regU-
late"
