Political Life - investigation Reso-

CBy Associated Prasa.N

New York, Feb. 21.-William j.
Corners, chairman of the democratic
state committee, fighting for his po-
litical life against those who are try
ing to oust him as chairman, an
nounced tonight that he stands ready
to testify at Albany at the proposed
investigation of the charges that
places on the supreme court bench OF
the state has been "auctioned off,
in greater New York.
Through private advices Corners
heard before 10 o'clock tonight that
such an investigation would be de-
manded, almost simultaneously came
the announcement from Albany that
a resolution to this effect hat been
introduced. Before hearing the res
olution to this effect had been intro
duced. Before hearing that the res
olution had been formally introduced
Conners commented with satisfaction
on his private message that such ac-
ton would be taken.
7 Good" said he as ne read the tefe-
gram: .'|If they want me on the
stand, I will. be there. I will tell
the mwhat I believe and" after a
pause "Perhaps what I know"
"What price for judge Mr.. Con-
ners was asked.
"Some of them came pretty high,'
he answered. "That will all come
out if they appoint legislative COM
mittee and put judges and their
friends on the stand-I1l tell them
whom to call"
Conners was cheerful tonight.
Last night" he said, II hoped !
was going to win; tonight I believe
am going to win"
The prospects of scandals In his
own party, the recent visit of Presi-
dent Taft to confer ton the situatic)
with the republican party, brought on
by the Ccnger bribery charges. and
the hot fight that awaits the state
chairman at Albany next Thursday
seemed rather to whet his appetite.
81 am not in politics for my living
like some of these fellows" he said,
"The world don't owe me living.
To tell you the truth I kind of LIKE
fighting.''

FAV0RS A Commission FORM

aE COMPOSED OF MEMBERS

Senate Did Not Finish Consideration
of Bill - Dolliver Fears comm's-
sion would Accomplish More Harm
Than Good - Department Heads
Blamed for High Cost.
:E- Associated press.)

:Ey Associated Press.)
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Ald-
rich said today that if permitted to
do so he would undertake to run the
government of the United States for
$500, 0,OOO,0 600 a year less than 1t now
costs. He was not presenting a for
NAL proposition, but was making a
speech to the senate ct. his bill pro-
viding for the creation of commits
sion to reform the business methods
of the government.
He pleaded earnestly for the au-
thority saying that present methods
were obsolete and involved the annual
loss of at least $1O0,000,O0O a year.
At his instance the bill was so amend
ed as to: provide that the commission
should be composed entirely of mem:
bers Of congress-five senators and
five members Of the house.
Mr.. Aldrich spoke In response to
Senator Dolliver, who opposed the bill
on the ground that it would c~ate
suspicion in the minds Of the public
as to the methods Of conducting the
governments business.
Mr.. Dolliver said he feared the COM
mission would accomplish no good,
but much evil. He regarded the bill
as proposition to enter upon "a
BLANKET disparagement of the gov
ernment." Mr. Dolliver said he did
not know what was the motive Of the
legislation.
In his speech Mr.. Aldrich said he
did not desire to serve on the pro-
posed commission. He spoke at
length of the duplication of the work
of the various departments. He did
not doubt that ten per cent of the
present expenditures could be saved
by commission.
Mr.. Money regarded as most SER
ious Mr.. Aldrich's admission that
100000 1000 a year was being wasted
by misadministration. He agreed
that there should be a commission,
but did not think it should be comqos-
ed Of members of congress, for he
had little faith in a mixed commits
sion.
Mr.. Carter traced the present evils
largely to the ambition of depart
mental officials. Mr.. Newland advo-
Gated a commission to be appointed
by the president.
Mr.. Bristow expressed the opinion
that the committee on public expen-
ditures should do the work which it Is
proposed to impose upon commits
sion.
The senate did not finish the con-
sideration Of the bill.

DOES NOT WANT NEW COURT TO

CASES.
Thinks Prohibition Of Securing Con-

Should Be Extended to Water 'ra'-
fc-- Holding Companies Are Also
to Be Barred.

Washington, Feb. 21.-In a formal
statement submitted to President
Taft and to the house and senate
committees, the interstate commerce
commission has suggested certain
changes in the interstate commerce
measure now pending in congress.
The bill as a whole is approved ana
the commission expresses its gratih-
cation "That this measure embodies
most, If not all, of the principal rec
concentrations heretofore. made 10
the congress, except the valuation OF
railroad properties, and also contains
provisions of great Importance which
in their general scope are unanimous
ly endorsed"
However, the commission 1ecom-
mends THAT the bill be so amended
AZ to contain the explicit statement
that the commerce court shall nave
no jurisdiction of power over orders
of the commission not now possessed
nv circuit courts of the United States.
1--WE are of the opinion that a sin
gle Judge OF the commerce court
should not be Empowered to stay an
order Of the commission" and the
suggestion is made that such stay
may be granted only by the court
cor a majority Of the judges thereof
In the suspension of a proposed
rate, the commission desires 12O days
instead of sixty days as proposed IN
the bill.
It is maintained that the commits
sion should have power to compei
through rates and joint rates when
ever in it's opinion they are required
by public necessity.
If it is the intent Of the congress
to give shippers the right to choose
between two or more routes, IN the
routing of trahic, the commission be-
lieves that intention should be ex-
pressed plainly in the proposed law.
Concerning the purchase OF one
road by another road, the commission
SAYS: 1--WE see no reason why the
prohibition that one road shall not
acquire any interest in competing
road should not be extended SO as to
prohibit the acquiring of any inter-
est in q competing water line" and
an amendment is suggested to- in
clude water lines.
A similar amendment is proposed
to prevent the control Of competing
lines by a holding company.
