Broken Ice Gorge Sweeping
Down the Mississippi.
RIVER IS RISING RAPIDLY
Feared Gigantic Weight viii Crush
Every Boat Along the Stream and
Play Havoc With Vessels in St.
Louis Harbor-Ferryboa Madison
the First Craft to Meet Disaster as
q Result of the Break.

st. Louis, Jan. 1.-THE ice dam In
the Mississippi river at Alton has
broken and is being sent down the
river by gigantic weight of water
which it is feared will crush every
boat along the river and play havoc
with the vessels in the st. Louis har-
bor
The river is rising at the rate of a
foot an hour. A rise of nine to twelve
feet during the day is expected. The
ferryboat Madison, which has been
plying between Venice and st. Louis
for twenty years, was caught by the
weight of ice and sunk. Its wharf
boat was torn from its moorings and
swept down the river
Smaller gorges north of st. Louis,
weakened by the rain, were torn loose
and swept down on the st. Louis har-
bor. They crashed against the piers
of the old Eads bridge and the sound
warned rivermen, who have been
ready for days to fight 10 save their
craft when the ice went out. The
bridge piers saved the harbor craft
from the first weight of ice, but a
strong breeze is sending 1t toward
the Missouri shore and 1t is feared
heavy damage will result.
Miles of ice above the harbor have
been broken up and is coming down
with such force it is believed the ice
below the harbor will be swept away
with it and damage down stream may
result.

CONGRESS- MAY
Reject MEASURE
Opposition to Taft'S Cor
poration Plan.
BILL FREELY CRITICISED


Is Necessary in Order to Revoke
Charters of Persistent vioIators OF
the Law-AIso Suggested That In
corporation Under the Proposed Act
Should Be Compulsory.
Washington, Jan. 14.-Now that the
main features of the bill to be recon.
mended by the president providing for
federal incorporation act have be-
come known there is a disposition on
the part of many members of congress
to insist not only upon a full discus.
sion of the measure but upon amend.
ments which will, in their judgment
be necessary to make it effective in
dealing with great corporations In
deed, it is believed that nothing short
of tremendous administration influence
will enact it into law.
The need of a forfeiture clause, by
which a corporation persistently vic,
lating the law can have it's charter re.
voked, is declared to be absolutely
necessary if corporations are to be eff
fectively controlled
Many congressional lawyers advo-
cate compulsory instead of voluntary
federal interpretations. They cite as
sound the general principle that if con-
gress has constitutional power to grant
voluntary charters to corporations do
ing such business it has power to COM
pei them to take a federal incorpora-
tion just as it has power to require
them to comply with its laws regulat.
ing interstate commerce.
Wickersham Prepared Measure.
In twenty-one sections Attorney
General Wickersham has embodied the
ideas of President Taft and his cabinet
regarding a system of federal incor.
poration of business enterprises. The
bill is expected to be laid before con-
gresS next week.
The principal feature will be the
creation of form of holding company
which under the national charter may
control business of subordinate CON-
panies organized under state laws.
Proper limitations will be provided
against the embarkation of any such
corporations in the business of dis
counting bills, receiving deposits and
issuing notes. There will be no com,
pulsory provision in the bill, it is said.
The corporations will not be required
to take out a national charter if they
see fit to do business under the state
laws instead.
In case a national corporation shall
desire to acquire the property of state
corporations it will be required that it
shall hold not less than majority of
the capital stock of such corporations.
Amy corporation that has more than
one kind of stock will be authorized to
confer the right to choose the directors
OIL any class to the exclusion of others.
