Washington. Jan. 13-Whether the

the alleged powder trust" or expand
the work of manufacturing its own
powder, was considered by the house
naval committee today and officers of
the army and navy and officials of the
powder company gave evidence at
length.
E. G. Buckner, vice president of the
Du Pont Powder company, denied that
the Du Pont Powder company is a
trust. He said there were a dozen
competing companies in the United
States and instanced the fact that a
rival concern. had recently captured
the big government contract for pow
der used on the Isthmus of Panama.
Denial was made by Buckner of the
charge that hi6 company had raised
the price to the government for pow
der needed when the Spanish war be-
gan. On the contrary. he said, prices
were lowered. The government now
paid 63 cents per pound to the Du

and all of them stood facing their
Imam or prayer reader. who, in a
white turban and black silk coat,
stood at the far end Of the room.
Slowly and in solemn cadences
through the dimly lighted room there
came the sound of low, soft words III
ia strange tongue. Imam was reciting
the prayers Of Islam in Arabic. The
prayer being finished, all the worship
pers sat cross legged like tailors on
the white cloths. and presently, as the
voice of the prayer reader rose again
they rocked themselves to and fro and
then in colemn moment of silence
prostrated themselves with their fore
heads touching the floor. So they
stayed for half minute. and 1t seem
ed to stranger standing at the door
as though the ancient spirit of the
east. the spirit of oriental faith and
mystery had filled this room in a Lon
don restaurant.
Put Hands to Ears
They sat again, cross legged, the
imam sitting facing them now in the
same attitude. His voice began in a
low. sweet chant, in which the words,
"Allahu Ahkbar! Allafu Ahkbar!"
were repeated many times and each
time all the men in turbans and fez
caps and knotted handkerchiefs put
their hands to their ears, as though
straining to hear the voice of God.
And the stranger listening and
watching at the door knew that the
Imam was reciting the creed of the
MOhanlnedans.
God is great! God is great!
There is no deity but God!.
And God is great! God is great
And praise belongs to God!
Then he arose and stood before them
and his voice was now louder, rising
and falling in all the cadences of the
oriental scale. strange and weird, and
plaintive and discordant to western
ears. Once again came the words, "Al-
lahu Ahkbar!" repeated in awe, and

The Whole Matter Will be De.

Congress
COMPULSORY incorporation
OF INTERSTATE CONCERNS
This Is the Plan Urged in Order to Sc.
cure Absolute Control Over the Cor.
porations According to the View Of
Congressman.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Now that the
main features of the bill to he recon-
mended by the president providing for
the federal interpretations have be-
come known there is a disposition on
the part of many members of congress
to insist, not only upon full discus
sion of the measure, but upon the
amendments which will, in their judg-
ment, be necessary to make it. effec-
tive in dealing with the great cor
porations. Indeed 1t is believed that
nothing short of. the tremendous ad-
ministration influence will enact it
into law. The need of the forfeiture
clause by, which corporation per-
sistently violating the law can have
it's charter revoked, is declared to be
absolutely necessary IL the corpora
tions are to be effectively controlled.
Many congressional lawyers advo-
cate compulsory instead of a volun-
tary federal Incorporation. They cite
as sound the general principle that II
congress has the constitutional power
to grant voluntary charters, to cor
porations doing such business, it has
the power to force them to take feder-
al incorporation just as 1t has power
to require them to comply with its
laws regulating interstate commerce.
Among the questions that will come
up for consideration and which likely
will provoke considerable discussion,
is that relating to the effect of federal
incorporation upon the right of the
states to control and to tax the prop
erty of such enterprises. This is a
phase of the proposed law. it is said,
that has received comparatively little
attention.

ing the system of federal incorporation
of business enterprises. The bill is
expected to he laid before congress
next week. The principal feature will
be the creation of a holding company
which under a national charter may
control the business of the subordin-
ate companies organized under the
state laws. Proper limitations will
be provided against the embankation
of any such corporations in the busi-
ness of discounting bills. receiving de-
posits and issuing notes. There will
be no compulsory provision in the
bill. it is said. The corporations will
not be compelled to take out nation
al charter if they see fit to do busi-
ness. under the state laws. All char
ters must be subject to the approval
of the commissioner of corporations
The minimum amount Of the capital
stock will be limited to 100000. not
less than $4,000 of which shall be
available to commence business.

London. Jan. 13.-Unionist conf
dence seems to be increasing. 1t is
claimed that tariff reform is making
greaterheadway each day. 1t Is pro-
phesied that the results in London
will show . to l majority in favor
of the Conservatives. The display Of
election tokens in the houses of vari-
GUS constituencies certainly supports
this view.
Balfour at Glasgow.
Balfour. addressing crowded
meeting at Glasgow. remarked on
omissions from Asquith's election ad-
dress and complained that the pre-
mier dealt chiefly OH the demerits of
the second chamber. Most of those in
thu hall were disorous of seeing the
lords rendered more effective as q
second chamber, but "c one desired
to see consultation without a sec
ond chamber. 10 say that the second
chamber was to have no veto means
that there would be no second cham
ber at all. No house of lords would
ever have a veto against the will or
the people. A veto against the COM
mons was their whole purpose. He
asked the electors to help the Union
list party 20 resist what was little bet
ter than a revolution.
Hereditary Principle.
Arguing against ali entirely elected
second chamber, Balfour said that
there was no reason for not making
the best use OF the hreditary prin-
ciple they could. He emphasized the
value of the principle in The case of
tie sovereign. pointing out that the
only bond which unites the democra-
cies # the empire is the king, who is
elevatde above party and belonged not
more to Great Britain than to Can
ada. Australia or South Africa.
What. he asked, did Canada, Aus
tralia or great Indian prince care
for Asquith or I'alfour? The idea that
either could be a center whereto the
empire looked was ludicrous. He
urged them. therefore. not to deride
the hereditary principle so long as it
could be turned to some great public
and imperial account Did they think
the lords would have been perform.
