seeks to compel the company either to 10 expensive work in the watershed or

ENTIRE NERVE TAKEN

Life Is Staked in Facing Rare Operation In Surgery
for the Relief Of Neuralgia Which Threatened to
Cause Suicide of Detroit Man

DETROIT, oct. Driven TO despera-
tor by four years Of almost incessant
pain from tic douloureaux. or facial neu-
ralgia, John r. Hall has staked his life
against one Of the rarest and most dan
gerous operations in surgery-and has
won. Today he was reported by the doc
tors as cured OF his pain and well on
the road TO health, consequent on the
removal Of his entire ganglion nerve.
This nerve is on the right side of the
head and extends from the jaw TO the
brain. 1t is one OF the most important
in the human system.

Bill of National Scope Deals
With Corpora
tons.
INTERSTATE LAWS
MAY BE CHANGED
Attorney General Working Along
Scheme Outlined by Presi-
dent Taft.

Attorney General Wickersham has
been steadily working on what legisla-
ton should be passed by Congress deal
ing with the subjects Of railroads and
corporations.
He IS evolving a bin for a national
Incorporation act that promises to at
tract the most widespread interest the
coming winter. 1t is expected this bill
will be introduced about the time Con-
gress meets in December.
The Attorney General Is convinced a
national Incorporation act would go a
long way to solving the trust problem.
He says the great diversity Of State
laws and the fact corporations in inter-
state business have to incorporate in
one State and transact business in a lot
Of other states I'm which they are not
Incorporated has encouraged the growth
OF a number Of interpretations controlled
by the holding company. The proposed
act viii provide for voluntary incor-
porstion under the national law. But
the Attorney General thinks concerns
having a large interstate business would
avail themselves OF it and accept such
measure OF Federal regulation as would
be involved.
Another matter occupying the atten-
ton Of Mr.. Wickersham just now Is
The framing Of bin which viii provide
for such changes in the interstate conf
IneTce laws as were outlined by Presi-
dent Taft in his Des MOines speech. In
that speech. Mr.. Taft spoke for an in
terstate commerce court OF five mem
bers to which appeals would be taken
from the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. He urged control Of railroad CAPT
talization and that the Interstate Conf
merce Commission be given the power
10 initiate complaints against railroad
companies. lie wanted railroads pre-
vented from the ownership OF stock in
competing lines. He recommended the
commission he empowered 20 hear and
entertain complaints against the unjust
classification Of merchandise. He laid
down the doctrine that railroads ought
not TO be permitted TO change rates un-
less they can give a reason for Il, and
proposed TO authorize the commission to
postpone the date for new rate TO
take effect provided that within thirty
DAYS Of the date Of the order complaint
is filed that the rate is unjust. Further
than this, Mr. Taft proposed that rail-
roads be empowered TO. agree on traffic
ratea under the supervision Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. and he
recommended several other changes in
the Interstate commerce laws.
