ON TO DRASTIC MEASURES

Washington, Dec. S0.-President Taft
i holding daily conferences with mem
bers Of the House and Senate and with
high officials with reference 10 his rec
concentrations for the enactment Of a
national incorporation act. As the re-
suit Of these conferences, he may con
clude TO advise measure much more
drastic than he has had in mind thus far.
fIe has been thinking Of advocating only
voluntary national incorporation, but he
may 90 farther and advise that after
given period, say year, all corpora
tions having capital Of any magnitude
bc required to take out federal III
cense.
Yesterday, he conferred at length with
Representative Martin Of South Dakota,
who has been prominent in the consid-
Grafton Of legislation Of the kind pro-
poed. He also had talk with Commits
sioner Of Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith. He has conferred with Senator
Nelson Of Minnesota, who has a bill o.
His own, and he has talked with mum.

AS the result, it can be definitely stat
ed that what the president has in mind
Is not amendments to The Sherman anti
trust bin, but separate measure for
national incorporation act. This is the
measure which Attorney General Wick
ersham has drawn The president i
showing it to callers and going over it
with them. he went over it AZ length
with Mr.. Martin, who IL not satisfied
with it, and will not consent TO any
measure that stops merely at voluntary
Incorporation.
Martin wants the president to recon-.
mend measure to provide not merely
fer voluntary incorporation IN interstate
business, but to see that every corpora.
ton must take out federal license
While Mr. Martin is not inclined to
criticise publicly the Wickersham bin
he made it clear that he feels Il will
have to be much modified before it can.

WIRES ARE STILL

Southeastern New England Lacks Means
Of CommunicationBut Slow

Army Of Linemen.

Boston, Dee so. Although it y more
than three days since the Christmas
storm. the wire situation in southeast
ern New England yesterday showed very
little improvement.
The entire district south and east Of

far western corner Of Rhode Island, to
cohasset was without quick communl-
cation with outside points
The tangle Is still unraveled, despite
tho fact that an army Of linemen has
been working day and night on the tele.
phone and telegraph situation.
Hundreds Of poles and thousands Of
miles Of wire win have 70 be cleared

tsblished, before normal conditions again
obtain.

cation with Boston, as we'll as Portland

mont, the storm caused but little dam
age.
The storm again demonstrated the
value of wireless in such an emergency.
On Sunday afternoon, when eastern New
England was blank 50 far as ordinary
lines were concerned, the wireless re-.
moved the anxiety regarding the situa-
ton on Cape Cod, where wrecks have
been frequent under such conditions
Wireless also cleared matters On Nam
tucket, at Newport and at Portsmouth,
but amateur electricians caused much
anxiety Sunday night BY sending ont
fake reports Of vessels in distress.
TIE loss to the three wire communicat-
ing companies will probably reach
