TAFT URGES REFORMS
PREVENTION OF ovERCAPITAL-
IZATION OF CORPORATIONS.
National Corporation Act = Allow
Traffic Agreements, What Next
Message Will Contain.

Beverly, Mass.-A national corpora,
ton act, legislative approval of railroad
tariff agreements and prevention of the
over-capitalization of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, are three
of the reforms that will be urged upon
Congress by President Taft next Deem
Der. To these may be added fourth
Introduction against any interstate rail-
way acquiring stock in a competing line.
These reforms, all of them part of the
general legislative program of the presi-
dent, will be taken up early next week
at conference to be held in New York
between Attorney General Wickersham,
Solicitor General Bowers, Interstate Com
merce Commissioners Prouty and Knapp,
Secretary Nagel of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, and Representative
Townsend of Michigan.
One of the reforms which the attorney
general will urge upon the president and
which is altogether likely to be the sub
ject of further recommendations to Con-
gress is a law providing for national
incorporation to carry interstate COM
merce. Mr.. Wickersham has made a
study of State control of foreign corpo-
rations. He believes that a national in
corporation law is the natural result of
economic conditions.

Sutton Was Badly Beatsn-Assaulted
While on Guard Duty By
Masked Men.

West Point. N. Y.-By the order Of
President Taft, the military career Of
seven young cadets abruptly came to an
end Thursday, due to their implication
in the recent hazing of Cadet Sutton.
The report and recommendation of the
board were taken before Secretary of
War Dickinson, who after considering all
points in the case, concurred in the rec
ommendation of the board. Cadet SUIT.
ton was more seriously injured than at
first supposed, and has been in the hos
pital until this week, when he reported
tor duty, limping badly. Sutton is a
brother of Lieut.. Jas. N. Sutton, of the
naval academy, whose death was inves-
tigated at Annapolis recently, and who
was declared by the court of inquiry to
have either committed suicide or shot
himself accidentally in @ fight with other
officers. Charges were made several
weeks ago that Sutton was assaulted
while on guard duty, walking lonely
post, and beaten down by men wrapped
in sheets and masked with pillow cases.
He was dazed. and sent to the hospital
suffering from severe injuries.

BANKER PROTECTED RELATIVE
Took Mortgage for sister-in-Law Be-
fore Bank Closed.

Asheville, N. C.-Joseph E. Dickerson,
co-defendant with Breese and Penland,
charged with conspiracy to wreck the
First National Bank of Asheville, testi-
fed Friday on cross-examination in his
own behalf. He declared that certain
overdrafts appearing against him on the
books of the bank were erroneous, and
that the overdrafts were on account of
interest and principal on certain paper
which he had secured for Breese. He
declared he had gotten no benefit from
the notes.
Dickerson also ADMITTED that he took
a mortgage for Mrs. Alvey, his sister-in-
law, from Penland for $4,000 shortly
before the bank failed and in reply to a
question he said he thought he should
take care of Mrs. Alvey's interest be-
fore he did the bank.
The witness stated that there was
practically no business done by the bank
during the last three years of its ex-
istence save the renewal of old notes.
Many of these "old notes." he said in
reply to question by counsel, were
held by himself, Penland and Breese.

Besides the one race each day, these

Pittsburg, Pa.-One state trooper, one
deputy sheriff and three foreigners were
shot and killed Sunday in wild riot
at the Pressed Steel Car plant at Schoen-
vile, whose employers are now on
strike. At least score of persons were
seriously wounded, ten fatally. The riot

More than a score of persons received
more or less serious injuries.
While the riot lasted, mounted state

From $3.50 to 1880 scores of persons
were arrested and placed in box-car jails

DR0UTH IN FIVE STATES
EXCESSIVE HEAT IS A FACTOR
AND RAIN Is NEEDED.
Texas Improvement Checked-Crops

Memphis, Tenn.rThe crops are suffer-
ing from want of rain in Tennessee, Ar
kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and the hill
lands in Mississippi. Excessive heat in
tensified the need of moisture, and in
the three western states named above
the plant is shedding seriously and hollis
are opening rapidly. In Texas the i'm
provement begun the previous week was
checked. A general soaking rain is need
ed to relieve the situation.
Crops in the two Carolinas, Georgia
and Alabama improved and reports from
the Mississippi Delta are better. In
these districts picking will not begin
until well after Sept. 1, as the plant is
still growing and setting fruit. The date
of frost will have an important bearing
on the yield, as the crop is still late

WOULD AMEND TRUST LAWS
President to Have Attorney General
Make Law More Specific,

S~>~ ~~sW ~~ASAS SPSSAhSs
Beverly, Mass.-President Taft aims
to make the antitrust law so clear that
there can be no violation of its pro-
visions without swift Jail punishment.
The antitrust law, the president points
out, is criminal statute, and business
men are entitled to know definitely the
lines which they may not cross. Con-
sequently he believes that amendments
are necessary, defining in more detail the
evils against which the law is aimed,
making clearer the distinctions reason
ably restraining trade and those which
are pernicious in their effect and particu-
larly denouncing the various devices for
monopolizing trade, which investigations
and prosecutions are shown to be in
actual practice.
With the law so amended, the presi-
dent thinks business men who are will
ing to obey the law will know what is
to be avoided. And when the law has been
so amended and business men and cor
porations understand exactly the limits
placed upon their acts, then if previous
illegal practices are continued nothing
but criminal prosecutions should be re-
sorted to.
1t is the conviction of the president,
with the law thus cleared up as to its
meaning, there could be no excuse for
its violation by the corporations, nor
could there be any hesitancy on the part
of judges, where convictions are OBJ
tanned, in applying punishment to fit the
literal meaning of the statute.

A Classic in Kentucky.

turned the major, desisting from a.
long libation, gentlemen don't sweat;

ritated colonel, glazing at the calm
and contented critic of his diction,.
