Ft. Wayne, ind. Dec. 26-Officials

Plan as Outlined in Campaign
Speeches Will Be IncuIcated
In Whatever Changes Are
Brought About.
CERTAIN LEGISLATION
NECESSARY IN ADDITION
Revision of Powers of Inter-
state Commerce, Bureau of
Corporations and other Ser
vice Commissions.

Augusta, Ca, Dec. 26.-In reply to
numerous inquiries received here re
garding President-elect Taft's new
plan for governmental control of all
corporations doing an interstate busi-
ness, it may safely be said that Mr.
Taft will do all in his power to es-
tablish the reform as outlined in his
speech of acceptance and his campaign
speeches.
In carrying out this plan, the presi-
dent-elect will need certain necessary
additional legislation by congress in
volving a decrease of the powers of the
interstate commerce commission, an
increase OF the powers of the burea of
corporations in the department of
commerce and labor and the creation
of a practically new bureau in the de-
partment of justice.
Changes Now Contemplated.
will exercise purely and only a quasi
judicial function. The bureau of cor
porations will be b given jurisdiction
over all the corporations doing an in
terstate business, including the rail-
roads, and will have as it's duty the
work of preparing and presenting to
the interstate commerce commission
all cases brought up by complaints
from individuals and ali cases made
necessary by the bureaus own inves-
LEGATIONS.
The department of justice will have
a bureau whose duty will be to assist
the bureau of corporations in prepar-
ing and prosecuting cases whenever
the bureau of corporations feels the
need of calling on the department of
justice for certain legal and technical
cooperation. 1t is not likely that the
new executive will recommend the fed
eral licensing of the corporations that
will come under the jurisdiction of
the bureau of corporations but he will
probably favor some provision that
will compel these concerns to submit to
the most severe scrutiny of the agents
of the bureau.
The reform will affect a fourth
branch of the government, the depart
ment agriculture, as that depart
ment, by the operations of the pure
food law, and other laws has much to
do with certain classes of corpora
tions. Arrangements will, therefore,
have to be made, in the detailed plan,
for the agricultural department to give
the bureau of corporations any assist
ance that may be requested.

Announcement has been made al
Springfield, Ohio, that James A. Carr

this city and become general manager
of the local branch of the company
Mr.. Carr was located here several
years ago, and his return will be vel

of the city. According to the pub.

This move in no way affects his in

ed and hereafter the Farmers Favor.
ite' drill will be made in the Spring
field shops and the Empire and the

shops
The citizens of Springfield are
more or less familiar with the several
large and important additions to the
Springfield works, now the home of
the full line of Superior, Evans and
Farmers Favorite goods. but not ia
miliar with the extensive improve
me ents and additions to the Richmond
works, now the home of the full line
of Hoosier, Empire and Kentucky
goods. The new factories at Rich
mond are in every way equal to those
in Springfield and have become a very
important factor in the company's s
business.
MIR. Carr for some months has be-
lieved that the adding of the Empire
and Kentucky goods to the large line
of Hoosier goods would require the
presence and special attention of an
experienced official of the company
and expressed a willingness to take
charge of the Richmond division, al
though in SO doing he would be max
ing sacrifice in moving from his
home and leaving his
many good friends in Springfield. Mr..
Carr's business associations realize
that he is the best man to take charge
of the important interests at Rich
mond, but regret that it takes him and

BUTTS RELATIVES
ABANDON SEARCH
Believe Waiter Is Numbered
Among "Those De-
parted.
MRS. GUINNESS is NAMED
COUSIN DECLARES HE BELIEVES
BUTTS WAS ONE OF VICTIMS
OF CELEBRATED LAPoRTE
MURDERESS.

Rushville relatives of Jacob Butts,
the former clerk in local restaurant,
who disappeared from this city mys-
teriously last spring, have abandoned
search for him. Some believe him
dead, but others retain the idea he has
had a motive for leaving Richmond.
There has been persistent rumor cir
culated here that Butts had reasons,
known best to himself, for leaving this
city as If swallowed by the earth That
there was a woman in the case seems
to have been established beyond a
doubt. There are persons in this city
who could throw light upon the sub
ject if they chose to talk
At Rushville, however, all kinds of
rumors have been revived frequently
and offered in explanation. 1t is claim
ed, as one item on the list. that the
former waiter was a victim of Mrs
Guinness and her death farm. The
most intimate local friends of Butts
scout this idea and refuse to place any
credit in it. The Rushville Republi-
can echoes the inforamiton secured
from relatives in the following:
Before he left, Butts drew several
hundred dollars from the bank or saw
ings institution in Richmond. but the
fact that he did not draw all the money
he had there exploded the thought
that he was leaving for parts unknown
and did not want any of his friends
to know where he had gone.
For several weeks the brothers
who live here, made a careful search
for him, but it proved fruitless.
Henry Brown, first cousin of the
missing man, was here this week, and
he said that they might as well give
it up as hopeless. as he had spent a
number of days tracing or attempting
to trace Butts. but all of no avail. He
declared that in his opinion Butts was
one Of the victims of Mrs. Belle Gpn-
ness, the Laporte murderess, who
claimed many victims.
He recalled that Butts was missing
just about the time that a number of
ohers met their fate at the hands of
this Lucretia Borgia. and that as far
as they knew or could learn, he had
started in the direction of Laporte.
Another thing that seemed to clinch
the matter in the mind of Brown was
that Butts drew several hundred dol
lars, leaving part of his money behind.
and that he left without apprising any
one of where he was going.
THE mystery will never be solved
if Butts does not turn up well and
alive, for if he fell victim to the
wiles of the arch-murderess, there is
nothing that will lead to clearing up
that fact
