Governor HadIey of Wisconsin Pleased
With Western Unions system.

With Western Unions System.
st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 26.-Special to
The News: Publicity of corporation
reports has firm friend in Gov. Her.
bert s. Hadley of Missouri who has
for years preached that doctrine and
who is now gratified by seeing his
views along those lines adopted by a
number of the great quasi-publc cor
porations and institutions of the coun-
try. Particularly, is Governor Had
ley pleased at the recent publicity
given the bold move OF President Vail
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, who took the stockholders, as
well as the general public into full
confidence when, upon assuming the
charge of that company, he made pub
lie the true condition of affairs the
Western Union in report which re-
duced its surplus from $1S000,000 to
$5,00O,00O by squeezing out all IVA
ter" from its assets. revaluing it's pro-
perty which was being carried at a
valuation made years ago, and bring.
ing the book value" of it's assets
down to actual value"
Il have read with interest an ac-
count of President Wallis action, and
| regard it as Of great Importance, not
only to those interested in that COM
pany, but to the public generally
says Governor Hadley. Much of the
prejudice that has existed among the
people and found expression in legis-
lation against public service corpora
tons has been based upon misunder'
standing and misconception as to
the manner in which such corpora
tiOns are conducted and the profits
they receive from their business. The
regulation of public service corpora
tons is right which is now thorough
ly established, and one which is likely
to be more extensively exercised.
will contribute to the result of secur'
ing a fair and just exercise of this
right of regulation by taking the pub
lie into their confidence in advance
and giving to them the real facts as
to what the company is doing, and
WldI lSlulllS IL 10 lNlhS upbll lla
business. Such information will also
be valuable from the standpoint OF the
several states in the matters of taxa
ton, and if this policy had been pur'
sued for the last ten years, feel con,
fdent that there would have been far
less of a prejudice against big bust
ness enterprises, and far less legisla
ton affecting their interests which
was i'll considered and perhaps unnec
| essary."

New Orleans, May 16.-Cotton futures

FROM A
LONG CRUISE
ROBERT COLLUM, NINETEEN
YEAR-OLD BOY, MADE VOYAGE
ON THE NORWEGIAN BARK
QUEEN OF SCOTS,

Robert Collum. a nineteen-year-old
Pensacola boy, who shipped with Cap
tain Danielsen on the Norwegian bark
Queen of Scots on Nov. %, 1909, for
Rio de Janiero, arrived from Gulfport,
Miss, Sunday morning at 6 O'Clock
and at once went to the place where
his parents, c. H. Collum and wife,
lived on Baylen street, but was disap-
pointed, for he found that they had
moved to point eighty-five miles dis
tant from this city.
The boy, simple in his ways and
susceptible, fell in with a shipping
master who signed him on the ship.
He was in luck in one particular, for
he had enjoyed the experience of
handling small fishing schooners and
could do a turn at the wheel, so he
became favorite with the first mate
of the vessel and escaped some of the
harsh treatment cub aboard ship is
usually subjected to. He arrived
home in good health, able to speak a
smattering Of German, Portuguese
and Norwegian and with $6.75 in his
pocket.
Robert says he is done with the sea
and will settle down and try to be a
hard-working landsman the rest of his
days.
