SHIPS BE COMPELLED
TO CARRY WIRELESS

Washington. Feb. 5.-Following close
~ introduction OF a bill by Represent
tative Burke, of Pennsylvania, TO re-
quire seagoing passenger vessels to be
equipped with wireless telegraphy,
the House committee on merchant
marine and fisheries today took 1T up
for consideration. Immediate report is
being urged so the bill may become a
law this session.
Representative Burke attended the
meeting to explain the bill. Since its
Introduction. which followed the wreck
of the Republic off Nantucket, the
Pittsburg congressman has been max
ing extensive study of the subject n
has collected a mass of data.
Some one denied u right to carry
such a law as proposed into effect
without international agreement" said
Burke. mo such agreement is neces-
sary. We have the same right TO re-
quire wireless instruments as to re-
quire life preservers on ships. The
right TO enter our ports is one we can
deny or make conditional.
"The French assembly followed III
example and yesterday began consid-
Grafton Of a measure similar to mine.
No nation will resent. but all will well
come the passage OF this bill by con-
greSs."

NEVADA, DEFYING
PRESIDENT, GOES
AFTER JAPANESE
Legislature Censures Roosevelt
for His Attitude in the
Matter.

Carson, New, Feb. Am anti-Japa-
nese resolution was introduced In the
assembly OF the Nevada legislature
which IL is believed will be passed.
After stating that the Japanese are
acquiring lands and property In this
and other states. the resolution says:
Whereas, TIL president has seen tit TO
take advantage OF his high office TO the
extent OF attempting to coerce and intimi-
date legislation In California upon this
subject; and,
Whereas. we view with alarm this at
tempted encroachment OF the government

Resolved. That we. the people OF the
and assembly, do hereby recommend to
the state OF California to pay no atten-
ton whatever to the admonishing OF the
president In this particular, but go ahead
and enact such stringent measures as will
absolutely stop forthwith the encroach-
ment OF the Japanese and the further
accruinR of foothold In this nation, and
Whereas. We believe there Is no danger
OF war with Japan. as IT Ia advanced by
those who oppose our views, but we be-

ADD ANOTHER TO
GREAT LAKES GROUP

Chicago, Feb. 4.-The state OF Iiii-
nois la add a new lake to the group
of great lakes" IL plans that are now
under consideration by the Chicago
Harbor commission are put In effect.
This is Lake Calumet, which at pres
ent is a small, useless body OF water
between Chicago and the Indiana state
line, but which Is likely to become one
of the most vital factors II The ooua-
merce of the five lakes.
The plan now being considered by
the commission contemplates the In
crease OF the city's shipping facilities
by converting the lake n "A great In
and harbor. connecting at n end
with Lake Michigan by a short canal
and at the other with the drainage ca
nal and the new $50, 600, 900 deep water
way TO the Mississippi. Lake Calumet
would be dredged and railroad and
dock facilities provided on the made
land. At present the title to this lake
is vested In the state OF Illinois, but It
is expected that the city of Chicago
will have no trouble I'm obtaining au-
thority from the legislature TO go ahead
with the work, II ii is found to be the
most feasible solution Of the harbor
problem.
other plans suggested are for an out
err harbor, which involves serious en-
gineering difficulties, apd for the ex-
penditure Of millions OF dollars in an
attempt to put the crooked Chicago
river into condition to take care OF the
traffic.
Chicago's lake commerce has been
persistently standing still until now
the city is one OF the least important
ports on the lakes. Some of this traf-
fc has gone to Milwaukee, Duluth and
other rival cities but more OF 1t has
been taken over by the railroads.

CLEVELAND'S FACE A
NEW GOLD NOTE DESIGN

Washington, Feb. 4.-Secretary Cor
telyou has had prepared at the bureau
of engraving and printing new designs
for gold certificates Of the $40 and $50
denominations.
on the face of the $40 certificate Is
an admirable bust portrait of President
Cleveland, the lower part framed In a
wreath OF laurel, and on the face OF the
fifty Is an equally fine portrait OF e
erai Grant. similarly treated with a
wreath or oak leaves.
The text on the face OF ach OF the
notes Is so arranged as to have the
general effect of a wide pedestal upon
which the busts are resting. The nu-
merals in the corner of the notes are
large and conspicuous and the scroll
engraved borders are narrower than in
other notes, leaving a larger white
space In the centers.
The backs OF the notes are printed In
gold bronze color, used exclusively In
printing gold certificates. 1t is the
opinion OF the treasury officials that
the designs for the new notes are SUI
perior to any hitherto put out by the
government. II Is expected hat the
notes of the new series will be ready
for issue within the next three months.

Commissioner Makes important
Report of Work in His
Bureau-The Standard
Oil Trial.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Commissioner
Herbert Knox Smith. of the bureau
of corporations, today submitted TO
Secretary Straus, of the department Of
and labor. the annual report
OF the operations of his bureau for the
rear ended June 80, 1908. In all re-
spects II Is the most important report
yet submitted by the bureau of corpor-
atoms. The work of the bureau dur
ing the last fiscal yea was more var
led than during any similar period since
the establishment of the department OF
and labor. During the year
Commissioners Smith directed investi-
cations of many important industries
and he now has o. hand as current
work. inquiries into the tobacco in
dustry, steel industry, International
Harvester company, lumber industry,
cotton exchanges and water transpor-
tation.
The most important legal work of
the bureau In the last fiscal year was
in connection with a bill for the amend
ment OF the Sherman law. A large
amount of work also was done In
aiding the department of justice In the
preparation for trial Of cases against
the Standard Oil company for alleged
practice of determinations In railway
rates.
Tend to Concentration.
Discussing the general subject of
corporate regulation and control, Com
missioner Smith says:
There is an irresistible movement
toward concentration in business. We
must recognize the fact that indus
trial concentration is already largely
accomplished in spite of general stat
utory prohibition. The aim OF new
legislation should be TO regulate, rather
han to prohibit combination. 1t is an
obvious absurdity to attempt TO do
both at the same time, and prohibition
has practically failed. Dur present law,
forbidding all combination, therefore
needs adaptation to the actual facts.
If we are to do anything effective with
the corporation question, we must make
an advance on our present legislation.
The practical object is to see that bus
mess opportunity and the highways of
commerce are kept equally open to
all; to prevent fraud, special privilege
and unfair competition To do this. we
must recognize concentration, supervise
IT and regulate Ii.

BUSSE KILLS WOMAN;
REVOLVER ACCIDENT
Mayors Brother, Showing
Maid How to Use Weapon,
Shoots Neighbor.

Chicago. Feb. 3.-George Busse
brother Of Fred A. Busse, mayor OF
Chicago last night accidentally snos
and killed Mrs. Lucius G.. Tuckerman.
81 years old. wife OF a fruit dealer o.
Milton, N. Y.
The shooting occurred In the Wal
ton apartment building, 305 North
Clark street. Mrs. Tuckerman was Wis
iting her father. General A G. Girard.
retired, who occupies an apartment IN
the building.
George Busse, In his apartment
across the areaway from the Girards,
was demonstrating the use OF a re-
volver to Bertha Lambke. his house
maid, so that she could use the weapon
In case OF burglars, Suddenly h re-
volver was discharged and the bullet
ven through two windows into the
Girard apartment and pierced Mrs
T~uckerman's heart. Mayor Busse was
present. and as o a he earne OF
the fatal consequences notified the po-
lice.
Mrs. Tuckerman was in q bedroom
dressing when struck by the bullet.
She staggered into a hallway. Genera
Girard and Mrs. Tuckerman's 6-year-
old son Alfred rushed from an adjotr-
ing room.
'Oh, father. We been shot and I'm
dying" said Mrs. Tuckerman, and ex-.
pired. A moment later there was .
pounding at the door of the Girard

CORPORATIONS MUST BE
CURBED. DECLARES SMITH

above all. we must have a system of
efficient publicity. This is the strong
est means for u purpose. Efficient
publicity means that sort OF publicity
which reaches the average citizen un-
der every day conditions. A perma-
nent office, after collecting material.
must also summarize IL for the public,
in brief, clear and reliable conclusion,
showing important permanent corpo-
rate tendencies.
What Should Be Done.
THE control by the federal govern
ment (of corporations) should be
broadened into a general constructive
system based on tested principles OF
supervision, publicity and co-opera-
ton. The details of such "a system in
it's main features should be as follows;
1T should be operated by the fed
eral government.
TT should provide for a system OF
regular reports from the large inter-
state corporations.
such government office should have
access at all reasonable times to the
records and accounts of such corpora
tions.
THAT office should publish concisely
the important facts disclosed. 1t should
safeguard from publication all business
secrets.
Corporations complying with these
requirements should be given the adj
vantage of a definite federal registra-
ton.
"The system should, IL possible. be
voluntary.
Finally, supervision must be admin
~istrative. No other method has the
necessary fiexibility.
W. must have a system of superyt-
sion which provides a working basis
for conference and cooperation n
which does not rely merely on GRIM
inal procedure and opposition. There
is not only a change in the attitude of
business leaders. There is also ar
aroused and intelligent demand from
the public for fair business methods
and for equal commercial opportunity
for all.
'The future of the nation must de-
pend largely upon the stability or Its
business machinery. That machinery
cannot be permanent or successful I'M
less it operates openly n justly. II
must place and keep In control of u
great commercial forces men who have
risen there solely by superior indus
trial efficiency. 1t must protect such
men from the competition OF those who
get power by unfair and Illegal meth
DDS and neutrality-suspicious. that rely
peculiarly on secrecy. To do this the
government must have such supervi-
sion and control OF that corporate ma
chinery as will maintain in business
he fundamental American ideal OF
equal opportunity to ALL"
