Federal Corporation Bill Intro
duced in Congress.
MEASURE NOT TO Be PRESSED
Executive More Interested in
Other Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 8.-The federal
incorporation bill which was intro
duced in congress Monday is not to
be pressed for passage at this session.
If the bill should be passed President
Taft has stated his willingness to
stand as it's sponsor and to take the
responsibility for having recommend
ed it.
Further than this, the president told
several callers that he would not
make the incorporation bill an admin
istration measure. He declared he
felt he had no right 10 do so and that
It did not rank with the proposed
amendments to the interstate COM
MERGE law, the postal savings banks
and the measures designed for the
conservation of natural resources.
These latter were promised in the
party platform upon which the presl-
dent was elected.
President Taft believes that there
are many things in the incorporation
to the legislators as they study the
measure. He will not attempt to in
fuence senators or representatives in
its favor, however. The bill now goes
to the judiciary committee OF con-
gress.
Wal! Street RudeIy Awakened.
Wall street interests, inclined at
first to look upon the idea of fed
eral charter with the utmost favor,
were rather rudely awakened when it
was learned that the president would
, insist there should be included the
provision that nothing in the act
should be construed as exempting
corporations from the operation of the
antitrust act. A great many corpora
tons, it is said, were looking forward
to a federal charter as an indication
that past sins were forgiven, provided
there were no more transgressions in
the future.
One of the many objections to the
bill has arisen from the denial Of the
right of state jurisdiction over the
corporations, but the officials believe
that after the law has had working
chance it may be possible to modify
its provisions so as to make them less
Objectionable from the states right
point of view.
The proposed law does not contem-
plate supervision of railroad corpora
tons, as they exercise the right of
eminent domain

His Son Andy.

DR.. Andrew J. McCosh was in his
college days famous athlete. He
could run faster, kick a football far
Their and jump higher than any man
in Princeton. Publicly his father, Pres
ident McCosh, took no notice Of An
dy's achievements. That he privately
rejoiced in his sons prowess the stu
dents learned in this way:
Jimmy, as the president was famil-
iarly called, though exceedingly cour-
teous, was given to fits Of abstraction
in which he entirely forgot his sur
roundings.
Once at a reception in his home, ap-
parently forgetful Of all the world, he
was pacing up and down the room
with head bent and hands interlocked
behind his back. Suddenly he walked
up before young lady and asked:
"How tall are yea"
In an embarrassed way she replied,
"Why, doctor, Tm-1'm five feet two
inches"
.'Me son Andy could jump over yer
head" said the doctor and Immediate
~ resumed his walk.

President Would Retain Publicity Fea.
ture of Tax Law.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The public fea-
ture of the corporation tax law is to
become operative, but is to be inter-
preted literally by the executive, &C.
cording to decision reached by Pres
1dent Taft. The president, in the
course of a conference with H. S
Neads, secretary of the Merchants as
sociation of New York, told Meads
that he would not sanction any change
In the corporations view of the pub
hcity feature of the act, which, he SAID
would place at the hands of compet1.
tors vital business information.
The president said that it will be un.
necessary to amend the law to avoid
this, as the extent of publicity will
como within the discretion of the de.
partment ministering the law.

"Are you woman suffragist?' asked

Indeed, am not" replied the other
most emphatically.

posing you were. whom would you sup

Rescuers have succeeded in bringing
to the surface six miners who are so
badly burned that physicians in the
improvised hospital say that they will
probably die.
The explosion occurred in heading
where twelve workmen were located.
and one of these, Andrew Krazcer, es-
capped by crawling a quarter OF a mile
on his stomach to evade the noxious
gases. When he saw the lights OF the
rescuers he moaned and tried to crawl.
He was slightly burned, but suffered
chiefly from the effects of after damp.
The positions of the bodies showed the
men had made desperate Efforts to
crawl away from the heading.

FURTHER DELAY IN INQUIRY

NINE DISASTER IN MEXICO

sixty-eight Men Killed and Many In.
jured by Explosion.
Laredo, Tex, Feb. 3.-One of the
greatest disasters in the history of
Mexican coal mining took place in the
Palau mine at Las Esperanzas. The
toll Of human life, which paid the pen
atty of negligence on the part of some
miner, is officially placed at sixty
eight, while the list of injured num-
bers nearly as many.
The explosion occurred in the No. 3
shaft of the coal mine of the Esperan-
zas Mining company and is attributed
to the ignition of gas from the flames
Of a cigarette of Mexican, who was
smoking contrary to. the rules.
The victims were principally Mexi.
cans and Japanese.
