reclamation, forestry and conserva-

two distinct factions, one supporting
Pinchot and Newell in the conserva-
ton plans, the other opposing. A
member of the committee said today:
when we return next fall we are
bound to have a lively contest over
proposals for legislation affecting the
general ideas of Pinchot. The same
old controversy which has ragged in
the senate in the past few years is GER

Strong opposition is apparent in

TAFT WANTS INTERSTATE
COMMERCE LAW AMENDED

Washington President Taft is ex-
pected to outline his plans for better
corporation control and supervision
in speeches to be made during his
western trip this fall. He will seek
to accomplish his purpose through
amendments to the Hepburn rate law
and the organization of the interstate
commerce commission and the bu-
reau of corporations. A special COM
mittee that has been investigating
the subject by instruction of the
president will report with recommen-
dations to him at Beverly before he
starts on his trip. The committee
consists Of Representative Townsend
of Michigan, Attorney General Wick
erman. Solicitor General Bowers,
Secretaries Nagel and Ballnger and
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Prouty. A final meeting of the COM
mittee will be held in New York be-
ginning August 81 and continuing
one week, during which the recon-
mendations to be submitted to the
president will be drafted.
The rate law to be amended, it is
said, to give the interstate commerce
commission authority to pass on the
reasonableness of rates before they
are put in force by the commissioners,
and to determine the fairness Of the
proposed classification of freight
These questions can be determined
now only upon complaint. The presi-
dent, II is reported, desires some modi-
fications in the law relating to the is
suance Of injunctions, and charges
in the antitrust law that could give
relief 10 labor organizations from
general inclusion in the list Of or
ganizations in restraint Of trade I'm
der judicial interpretations Of this
law all strikes and boycotts have been
held to be conspiracies. Taft believes
the most effective administration Of
the laws can be brought about by
making the interstate commerce
commission a judicial body, the in

PRESIDENT TAFT WILL
SPEND QUIET SUMMER

Beverly, Mass-"I am very glad to
be at Beverly today In view of Mrs
Taft's health we will make very few
engagements here. All we want is
quiet time"
With these words President Taft
spread a wet blanket effect over the
social aspirations of the society folks
of the vicinity and gave formal no.
tice that neither he nor Mrs. Taft
would figure in any round of pleas
ure this summer. AS a result, quite
a number of ambitious social climb
ers who have engaged cottages at Sa-
lem bay with the expectation of shin
ing in the light reflected from the
first lady of the land, will never come
out of the gloom.
OFFICE Force Already Busy.
Within an hour after his arrival the
president had got down to his sum-
mer vacation gait and the executive
force in the newly established quar-
ters at the board of thare building
was hard at work under the direction
of Secretary Carpenter. The quar-
tet of secret service men who came
along with the president joined those
already on duty in Beverly and from
this time until the presidents de-
parture for the west, September 10,
the Evans cottage will be guarded by
a pair of detectives. The secret serv-
ice men will work in eight hour shifts,
one guarding the front and the other
the rear of the house. James Sloan,
the presidents chief bOdyguard, who
held a similar position with President
Roosevelt. has charge of the secret
service men.
Local Troubles.
This evening the shoe machinery
band gave a concert in honor Of the
presidents arrival.
The taxlcab company which recent
ly made application for a permit to
do business in Beverly during the
summer was turned down, is prepar-
ing to lay its troubles before the
president. It will claim that it was
unduly Disseminated against by the
mayor and board Of aldermen. on
