.RA|LFuuAD BILL IN
President Taft'S Measure
introduced In Congress.
ENLARGES BOARDS POWERS.
Framed to Cure Defects Discovered
Under Operation of Interstate
Commerce Law and Secure
Just Rates.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE admins
tEation's bill amending the interstate
commerce law was introduced in the
house by Representative Townsend OF
Michigan and in the senate by Senator
Elkins. The measure in its main
outlines follows the recommendations
in the presidents message.
THE bill is framed to cure defects
discovered under the operation Of the
interstate commerce law and to make
more effective the attempt to secure
justice between carriers and their pa
irons under the law" said Mr.. Town
send, discussing his bill. THE car
riers will not observe the old common
law, which declares that common car
riers must impose only just and rea-
sonable charges and regulations with
cut additional legislation. That has
been conclusively settled by expert
eDce.
Lately the carrier has seen fit to
contest practically every order made
by the commission, and cases have
been taken into various federal courts
Judges of these courts, being unfa-
miliar with this class of cases and
having besides much other work ON
hand, have not been able to dispose
OF commerce cases as eXpeditiously as
the needs of the country demanded.
Furthermore, the decisions rendered
by these courts have not had that
uniformity which the importance of
the cases required.
1T is thought that a special court
should be established to have exclu-
sIve original jurisdiction over matters
growing out Of orders of the commits
sion. This court is TO be composed of
five circuit judges who shall serve by
assignment of the chief justice for a
term of five years, but no two of the
judges terms will expire at the same
time, and thus under all circumstances
four of the judges will have had sew
eral years experience with these tech
nical questions.
Provision is made for the prosecu-
tion and defense of all matters taken
into the commerce court by the de-
partment of Justice. For this purpose
it is proposed TO appoint an assistant
To the attorney general, who shall
have special charge of such cases.
"Under existing conditions economy
of operation, similar treatment to all
parts of the country and prompt and
effectual service can be better secured
under proper arrangements between
carriers To protect the people against
improper agreements they must be
made public and must be filed with
the commission and subject to the
same rules and regulations as to just
ness and reasonableness as are rates
and other recognized regulations.
The bill provides that classidcatiOns
of freight shall be subject to the same
rules and regulations as to justness
and reasonableness that individual and
joint rates are now"

ciety of Medical Jurisprudence to in

the United States soldier who was

The committee, which consists OF
three physicians and two lawyers,
says in its report;
The medical members OF the committee
found John II. Early 20 be a lepSS be-
cause OF the demonstration of DIR. Henry
Kreuder OF the bacilli OF leprosy in prep
arations made from his skin and which
have been Identified and confirmed by
Drs. Dietrich, Fordyce, Whitehouse and
Morrow.
The legal members OF the committee
in view OF the foregoing findings by the
medical members OF the committee and
OF the record and exhibits herewith pre-
sented find that the action taken with
reference to John II. Early by the au-
thorities at Washington was within the
provisions OF the interstate quarantine
regulations OF the United States making
leprosy a quarantinable disease.

village have nothing but good words
for young Smollen. At one time he
was chauffeur for James ]. Corbett.

Mr.. Cohen was waiter in the pri-

great deal after my mother had

seemed to understand how / felt He

greatly.

The address then asserts emphatic
ally that the possession of an unlimit-

an insuperable obstacle TO popular and
democratic government. In closing it
says:
The limitation Of the veto is the
first and the most urgent step to be
taken. for it is a condition precedent to
the attainment of the great legislative
reforms which our party has at heart"
