STRAUS MAKES MANY
POINTS IN HIS WORK
Continued from Page one.)

Continued from Page one.)
Straus regards the work of this divis-
ion as Of the highest Importance, as
it tends to relieve the congestion o.
aliens in urban centers of population.
Attention is also devoted to the diyis-
ion of naturalization. which shows
that 2,244 courts have been engaged
IN the last year i'll comforting natural.
ization upon aliens. During the year
l36,725 declarations of intention and
1888 petitions for natural cation
were filed. Through the department
of justice, 1903 cases for the cancel
lation of Illegally granted certificates
were instituted and in 457 of the case
the certificates were withdrawn. Sug-
gestions are made of important amend
ments to the legislation relating to
the naturalization Of aliens.
Some space is devoted to a consfd-
Grafton of the operations of the bureau
of corporations, but on account of the.
character of the work of that bureau,
little definite information is diclosed.
The secretary says that the bureau
now has on hand investigations of the
tobacco, steel, and lumber industries,
waterways, the international Harvest
er company, and further investiga-
tons of the petroleum industry ana
cotton exchanges. He is of the opfn-
ion that advance toward corporate
reform must come through some gen.
eral system OF publicity"
1T is becoming more and more
obvious that the work of the govern
ment in regulating corporations should
not be directed at the mere existence
of combination itself, as such, but
should deal rather witt the way in
which the combination powers are
used, so as to prevent as far as pos
sible the misuse of these great in
dustrial forces. Only such combina-
tons as are tornado for wrongful pur-
poses, or such combinations as use
their powers for evil, should be
brought under the condemnation or
the law"
Secretary Straus strongly recon-
mends the adoption of definite sys-
TEN of positive supervision and regu-
lation of corporations through an ad-
ministrative Office, urging that such "a
system is constructive, not destruc-
tive. Through this Office 1T would
be possible to publish important facts
as to corporate operations, safeguard
ing the unnecessary publication Of all
proper business secrets.
In reference to the bureau of labor,
Secretary Straus says THAT it is max
ing study of the general subject of
workingmen's insurance. Industrial ac-
cidents and employers liability. He
regards as one of the great needs in
industrial relations radical change
in the law respecting employers liza
Ibility. The law granting compensa-
ton to disabled government employees,
the secretary says, should be extend
ed, to the end that the government
itself should aid In the Improvement
of the conditions OF labor.
The report deals exhaustively with
all of the operations Of the department
In the last year and in it Secretary
straus makes important recommendar
tons and suggestions. as to the con-
tinuance Of the work in the future. -

DUCK SHOOTING
Supt. J. S. Douglas of Nacozari

Sportsmen Who Ragged So
Ducks In One Day.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 1.-(SpeciaI.) ~
Sunday was a great day for sport
along the banks Of the Franteras river
and around the ponds which are to be-
found not far from Fronteras, fifty
miles south of Douglas.
The hunting party was the guests
of Mr.. ]. s. Douglas of Nacozari. ana
the hunters had been gathering on
the other side of The line for several
days, and finally Sunday was de-
cided upon as the time for slaughter
ing the ducks which might be fouIsa
In the vicinity Of FIonteras. Those
who composed the hunting party
were J. s. Douglas and j. S. williams,
OF Nacozari, Capt Thos. Hoatson Of
Calumet, Michfi Ben Williams of Los

Nacozari for & visit to Mrs. ]. s. Doug
las.
This morning the Bisbee and Doug.
las members of the party returned to
this city. Each carried a handsome
string OF ducks, many large mallards
being in the several punches.
Mr.. Cunningham was designated to
do the talking about the hunt: this
action being thought best in order to
save explanations should conflicting
stories gain circulation.
I'VE had delightful time" sald
Mr.. Cunningham and yesterday there
were total of eignty-six ducks killed.
All of the boys met with success and
do not want to specify who killed
the largest number of ducks. M.
Douglas certainly did the grand thing
in the way Of entertaining the party.
On Friday he secured the private car
Alamogordo at Bisbee and had sup.
piled with the necessary ammunition
food and other supplies required Tor
the proper care and entertainment of
a hunting party and in this car all
were assured Of welcome, comfort ana
royal entertainment"
Those in the party who did not re
turn to Douglas to-day returned TO
Nacozari this morning and will prob
ably arrive here tomorrow.
