pleted. was formally opened recently in
the presence of Gen. Prince Kanin OF
the Japanese army and large number
of officials and specially invited guests
Formosa is now threaded throughout by
this railway, which extends over q
length of 334 miles. Many improve
ments have been made since the building
of the road began, and the island indus.
tries have been greatly developed.
SiXty-two miles of the completed road
bed were taken over by the Japanese
from the Chinese in 1885 Japan built
the 272 miles additional at nearly 5000,
600 less than the estimate and the sum

mentS.

branch lines has been granted to the
Formosan Sugar Refining Company and
so miles are already completed.

FIVE NEW MANAGERS.
Eastern League Clubs to Make Many
Changes in Heads of Teams.

NEW YORK>October 27.-When the
owners of the Eastern League of base ball
clubs meet at the Victoria Hotel today
there will be some eager young men pres
ent in the lobby curious to learn the drift
of conversation about managers in the
organization for 1909.
Buffalo, Montreal, Rochester, Jersey
City and Newark are said to be slated for
changes. Newark. of course, depends
solely on whether George Stallings comes
over here to manage the Highlanders.
Newark Fans would be better pleased If
he remained there.
Buffalo clamors for successor to
George Smith. who once handled the
Giants; Eugene Mccain may stay in Jer-
sey City. but it is not certain; Casey is
about to leave Montreal. Buckenberger
has pulled out of Rochester. and the only
men who will hold over for the year in
the league are Hugh Duffy of Providence
and Jack Dunn of Baltimore. The
former Giant not only has been signed
for the coming year at Baltimore, but 1t
is said that Ned Hanlon raised his
salary.
Malachi Kittredge. who once managed
an Eastern League club and who was
manager of the Scranton club this year,
the organization that won the champion
ship of the New York State League. has
eyes on Rochester. He has a notion that
he could win pennant for Rochester If
he We're fortunate enough to be invited
to handle the team.
There has been rumor now and then
that Patrick T. Powers would be opposed
for president. If there was anything of the
kind in the air last evening the Eastern
League owners who are in the city, were
able to keep 1t closely to themselves.
Those present and accounted for said they
knew M reason WHY MIR. Powers would
not succeed himself.
Before the delegates leave, the Balti-
more club will be awarded the champion
ship. Il wasn't able to win one In the

accustomed to rowing two-mile races on
the Severn, 1t is possible to row a four
mile race by starting from the "outer
lightship'' and pulling up the Severn, or
vice versa. 1t is safe to say that if the

authorities would permit them to row at

Bridgeport, Conn, jan 17.-Conditions
are greatly improved in Bridgeport the
industrial capital of New England. Dur
ing the month of December several fac
tories were closed, due to one business
condition or another and a few took ad-
vantage of the duh times to make neces-

the first law against trusts, called the
/ sherman law was passed eighteen years
ago The business OF this country has
travelled a century forward since then
both in methods and results. That law
does not fit the conditions that have thus
grown up. It forbids all trade combina-
lions. no matter how much they are need
ed or how helpful they may be- There
fore. we must make that law over again
so as to permit reasonable and honest
business organizations. We must put into
the Sherman law the word reasonable.
IAN students now know that the big
businesses called trusts are necessary,
and that trade can hardly be carried on
without certain railroad and business
combinations The law must he changed
10 permit these when they are reason
able and honest. Nobody but dema-
gogues and ignorant men object to those
organizations Of industry called trusts;
but every informed and honest man does
object 20 the rObberies committed by
some OF the trusts. just as we object to
the same thing by individuals. What we
are after IS justice and fair dealing, both
by the trusts and railroads toward the
people and by the people toward the
trusts and railroads.
Conservation of Natural Resources.
I've must have law that will stop the
watering OF stocks. Ultimately, all inter-
state railroads-that IS, all national high
ways-must come under exclusively ma
tional control; but the necessity for this
is only ripening. Our labor legislation
must be brought up TO date. We are a
quarter Of Century behind Europe in the
matter Of laws for the safety and general
benefit Of workingmen.
THAT great scheme Of conserving the
national resources, fathered by one of the
most useful men Yale ever gave TO the
nation-GiffOrd Pinchot-must be well
worked out Our forests have been
slaughtered-they must be replaced; our
streams have been neglected-they must
be improved: our wealth Of timber. min
erals. and water power have been wasted
and stolen-we must save and nourish II.
"All OF this is the craftsmanship Of con-
structiOn not of destruction. The whole
movement is the evolution Of the peoples
conscience, not the revolution of the peo-
pies industry. We are working for the
whole nation, instead OF a few individuals
for the future as well as for to-day. We
are not tearing down the house; we are
taking out the rotten bricks that threaten
the whole structure, and putting sound
ones I'm their places.

JUDGE GOULD FAYORS BILL
Tells District Committee of Senate
Fee System Should Be Changed.
Register Tanner Explains Present
System and Need for Change-OId-
est Inhabitants Bill Approved.

Judge Gould. OF the Supreme Court Of
the District was present at the weekly
meeting Of the Senate Committee on the
District of Columbia yesterday. and
warmly advocated the passage of the bill
suggested by Corporal Tanner. regis
ter of wills, and introduced by Senator
GalIinger, to change the fee system in the
Office OF the register.
The proposed change, Judge Gould de-
.ared would not only simplify the work
of the office and more equally distribute
the burden of its support. but would suf-
hcienty Increase the revenues Of the office
to insure the payment of more adequate
salaries 20 the clerks employed under
him, which are considered TO be by no
means large enough at present. Includ-
ing the charwoman, there are about thirty
employees in the registers force. The in
come of the office now is approximately
s. 800 q year and under the proposed new
system this would be increased 70 about
q 200 year.
Justice Gould indicated to the commit
tee his belief that the salary Of the regis
ter himself, which is $500 a year, should

the Justices estimation. more suited to
the responsibilities Of the position and the
excellence Of its administration under the
present regime. Mr.. Tanner has been in
charge OF the Office for about four years.
Mr.. Tanner also appeared before the
committee and explained the need for the
proposed change. He said that no more
capable clerical force could be found In
the District than that in his Office. and
that the men should be better paid for
their services. He also explained in de-
tail the complicated and pOnderous fee
system which is now IN use, TO the sur
prise Of the members Of the committee.
IL was the sense Of the committee that
the proposed change is OF too great inn
portance 20 be lightly acted upon. and
Senator GallingeT, chairman of the Dis
trIct Committee, appointed a subcOmmit-
tee, composed OF Senators Gamble. Long

bill under consideration.
