Washington, March 25.-In a mes
sage sent to congress today, President
Roosevelt urges important amend
ments TO the Interstate commerce law
and especially to the antitrust act,
which he characterizes as a most un-
wisely drawn statute. He says that
combinations are absolutely necessary
in the modern industrial world
among business mon and laboring
mon, and that it is "mischievous to
keep on the statute books, unmodified,
law like the antitrust act, which,
while in practice is only partially eff
fective against vicious combinations,
has nevertheless in theory been con-
strued so as sweepingly to prohibit
every combination for the transaction
of modern business" The president
declares modification is earnestly
needed, for the sake of the business
man. the toiler and the farmer.
He again calls attention to the
child labor evil, the president suggest

ladder against window and saw
the corpse dangling at the end of
a rope. The note was tied to one
of Benesh's shoes.
Benesh had knotted the end of
a rope. dropped it over the top of
his door and swung II shut. When
the moose had been placed around
his neck he stepDed off chair.
Mrs. Michael Vrana, with whom
he boarded, coming home late in
the afternoon, saw the end of the
rope hanging from the door. She
tried to force an entrance. but the
weight Of Renesh's body and the
tightly wedged rope held it fast.
She summoned Frank and Rudolph
Busta, neighbors, and they placed
ladder against a window Benesh IS

Benesh was in love with n
young woman employed as a do

four months ago and had to stop
work they quarreled and broke
their engagement She went ia

PRESIDENT SENDS SPECIAL
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Tariff and Finance Discussed and Amendment to
the Anti Trust Laws is Recommended.

mendatons already made by the chief
magistrate concerning injunctions in
labor disputes are renewed. The
president makes reference to strikes,
which he holds to be legal, but de.
clares nothing should be done to 10
gaize either blacklist or boycott.
The enactment of financial legisla-
tion Is urged by the president before
the close of the present session, also
the establishment of postal savings
banks. He believes the time at hand
whom the country should prepare for
tariff revision, and suggests that pro-
vision be made for the collection of
data for the benefit of the next con-
gress. He recommends one change in
the tariff forthwith, viz, the placing
of wood pulp on the FREQ list.
The message as read in both houses
OF congress follows;

WAR IN MOROCCO

Paris, March 25 The budget COM
mittee has filed with the chamber Of
deputies recommendation for an ap-
preparation of S3,2OO,OOO for the ex-
penses incurred by France in Morocco
durin gthc year 1907,
In this memorandum, 1t is pointed
out that as soon as the pacihcation
of Morocco is assured there will fol-
low in that country a degree OF civ
ilization from which Morocco itself
and all of Europe will derive benefit.

Wood pulp on Free List.

| am OF the opinion, however, that
one change in the tariff could with
advantage be made forthwith. Our
forests need every protection and
one method Of protecting them would
be to put upon the free list wood pulp,
with a corresponding reduction upon
paper made from wood pulp, when
they come from any country that
does not put an export duty upon
them.
Ample provision should be made
for n permanent waterways commits
sion. with whatever power is required
to make II effective. The reasonable
expectation of the people will not be
met unless the congress provides at
this session for the beginning and
prosecution of the actual work Of
waterway improvement and control.
The congress should recognize in
fullest fashion the fact that the sun.
ject Of the conservation Of our natural
resources with which this commission
deals, is literally vital for the future
of tho nation.
Numerous bills governing water
power rights on navigable streams
have been introduced. None of them
give tho government the right TO
make a reasonable charge for the
valuable privileges so granted, in
spite of the fact that the water power
privileges are equivalent to many
thousands of acres of the hest coal
lands for their production of power
Nor is any definite time limit set as
should always be done in such cases
! shall be Obliged hereafter, in ac
cordance with the policy stated in a
recent message TO veto any water
power bill which does not provide for
lime limit and for the right OF the
president or OF the secretary con,
cerned to fix and collect such a
charge as he may find to LS just and
reasonable in each case.

Finance and Tariff.

commission.
Finance and Tariff.
The question Of financial legislation
Is now receiving such attention In
both houses that we have a right
to expect action before the close Of
the session. 1t is urgently necessary
that there should he such action.
Moreover, action should be taken to
establish postal savings banks. These
postal savings banks are imperativcly
needed for the benefit Of the wage
workers and men of small means. and
will be a valuable adjunct to our
whole financial system.
The time has come when we should
prepare for q revision of the tariff.
This should be, and indeed must be,
preceded by a careful investigation.
1t is peculiarly the province Of the
congress and not Of the president, and
indeed peculiarly the province OF the
house of representatives to originate
tariff bill and to determine upon its
terms; and this | fully realize. Yet
Il seems to me that before the close
of this session provision should be
made for collecting full material
which will enable the Congress elected
next fall to act Immediately after II
comes into existence. This would
nccessltate some action by the con.
gress at its present session, perhaps
in the shape of directing the proper
committee to gather the necessary in
formation, both through the commit
tee itself and through government
agents who should report to the com.
mittee and should lay before 1t the
facts which would permit il TO act with
prompt and intelligent fairness.
These government agents, II II Is
not deemed wise to appoint individuals
from outside the public service, might
with advantage be members of the
executive departments, designated by
the president, on his own motion or
on the request OF the committee to
act with il.

THE MESSAGE.

To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
call your attention to certain
measures as to which | think there
should be action by the congress be-
fore the close OF the present session
There Is ample time for their consid
Grafton. A regards most IL not all
of these m tiers bills have been in
troduced into one or the other OF the
two houses, and 1t is not too much to
hope that action will be taken one
way or the other on these bills at the
present session. In my message at
the opening OF the present session,
and indeed, in various messages to
previous congresses, have repeated
ly suggested action ON most OF these
measures.
Child labor should be prohibited
throughout the nation; at least mod
el child labor bill should be passed
for the District Of Columbia. 1t is
unfortunate that lin the one place solely
dependent upon congress for its legis-
iation there should be no law what
ever to protect children by forbldding
'or regulating their labor.
Employers Liability Law.
l renew my Recommendation for the
immediate reenactment of an EN-
ployers' liability 'aw, drawn to CON
form to the recent decision of the su.
preme court. Within the limits indi.
Gated by the court, the laws should be
made thorough and comprehensive,

There was fear of personal clashes and
finally the disgruntled ones decided to
take the bull by the horns, and last
nights action was the result. Both
sides are now awaiting the final deci-
sion Of the national and supreme body.
Joseph Beard had no opposition for
sergeant-at-arms, but contests marked
the candidates. for the other offices.

Montclair Air Was Filled with
Chickens Till Negro Boy

A crate OF chickens shipped to the
United States Express Company. at
Montciair, and which arrived there to-
day, creating a Juror for a short time.
The chickens were still on the station
platform when the train that leaves
for New York a. s:15 backed into the
station.
The baggage was being hustled on
board and the commuters were skurry-
ing into the car, when in some way
the stats on top Of the crate became
unfastened, and in less than ten Sec
onds nearly $50 chickens were flying
around, perching on mems shoulders,
hitting them in the face, and, in one
case. striking a young woman's inner
ry widow with such force as to knock
It off her head ana under the cars.
The men employed around the depot
tried to catch the fowls, but met with
little success until Rasher Hooe, a

in the situation at once, and throwing
down his papers got on the job Of re-
covering the chickens like a practised
hand.
Rasher just knelt down on the plat
form and "~coo-cooed" to the chicks,
and they walked right into his arms.
All were caught with the exception of
about forty. which had run under the
train and across the tracks to Middle

F|REMEN DENIED I!
RIGHT TO ELECT
OWN OFFICERS
South Orange Village Trustees
Decide to Keep Privilege
to Themselves.

Whether or not Fire Chief Harry J.
Becker, of South Orange Village. will
be ousted from that office, which he has
held. for the last nine years, is now up
to the Village Board of Trustees. The
f1remen will not be allowed to elect a
chief and two assistants. A petition
requesting that they be allowed this
privilege yearly was presented by
eighteen out of the twenty-six members
of the department last night, but the
request was denied.
The members of the board decided
that instead of allowing the vamps to
elect d chief and two assistants they
would appoint the heads of the depart-
ment.
Chief Becker is not popular with a
majority of the men under him, and
this may lead the board to appoint a
new chief. The two assistants, James
NJ. Murray and M. A. Fitzsimmons.
have resigned, which will necessitate
appointments to fill these vacancies.
John r.. Weeks, chairman Of the fire
committee. declared that he did not
favor granting the petition. and said
that his committee believed that be-
cause there were four paid members In
the department, the chief, who is over
them, should be under the cqptrol Of
the board Of trustees. He said that,
inasmuch as there was $1,000 worth Of
fire apparatus In the department be-
longing to the village and in charge CT
the chief, he could not sanction allow
ing the firemen to elect a chief who
must be responsible to the board.
An ordinance was introduced by Mr..
Weeks which contained thirty-threa
sections providing for the establish
ment and government of he fire de-
partment." One of the parts of the
ordinance is that a volunteer fireman
shall not be employed by the village in
any other capacity. Because of this
a number of the best men will be COM
PEELED to drop out. Foremen G. P.
Nolan and John ]. Farrell. of Hook and
Ladder Company ana Hose Company
No. 1, respectively, will have to re-
sign.
The ordinance, which was passed on
first reading. all voting for except
Thomas T. Conway, was not greeted
with approval by the firernen present.
