He Will Press Congress for
$4,000 to Enforce Cor
pOratiOn Law.
NOW FACES A HARD TASK
TREASURY DEPARTMENT SHOWS
OPPOSITION AND VIGOROUS AC-
TON WILL BE NECESSARY-HIs
PLANS.

Washington, Feb. 19.-President
Taft has let it be known that he will
press congress for the $4,000 apprO-
priation to put in force the publicity
feature of the corporation tax law.
Assured by many Of his friends that
congress intends to do nothing to help
toward that end, he is looking about
for some weapon with which he may
obtain the money needed to make cor
poratiOn records public.
While the president insists that he
intends to carry out the publicity fea,
ture. the treasury department is
frankly opposed to it. Secretary Nc
Neagh and Acting Secretary Norton
believe that publicity Of the returns OF
small corporations will do no good in
Il public way, and actually will bring
harm to the little fellows" who do
not want their business secrets barred
to the public gaze.
This is the attitude that has been
taken by other branches of the admin.
istration, and against which the presi
dent is working in his attempt to car
~ out the publicity feature.
Other Arguments at Hand.
The law of 1882 which was produc-
ed as reason why money could be
used to make the records public, was
not as good an argument as some
others which could have been pro-
duced to cut out the publicity feature
but it apparently was effective
The demise of the publicity feature
of the law is assured unless the pres
ident takes up VICIOUS crusade for
the needed appropriation. and it is a
question whether he can obtain it
under any circumstances. Congress
apparently is becoming convinced
that it never intended to make public
the corporation returns, and is not
disposed to appropriate anything
more for the indeXing and arranging
of returns for public access.
The president has hopes of obtain
ing an appropriation through the gen.
eral deficiency BILL and has given con.
sideration to the advisability of send
ing message to the two houses bear.
ing on the subject.
Payne Puts 1t Up To Tawney.
Chairman Payne of the house ways
and means committee declared last
night that no amendment of the tariff
act was necessary in order to obtain
the $4,000 appropriation for the pub
licity feature. He said the ways and
means committee would not have tC
pass on the case and that it would
rest entirely with the appropriation
committee of which James A. Tawney
is chairman.
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Norton held q
long conference today, but denied
that it had any bearing on the annul
ment of the publicity feature of the
corporation tax law

through its connections and invest
ments practically controls the entire
independent telephone situation OF
the state. When it was announced
last December, that James S. Bradley,
of Toledo who controlled these compa-
MES, had sold his control to a New
York banking firm, it was generally
supposed that the real purchaser was
the Bell Telephone company. which is
the American Telegraph and Telephone
company. This was denied. however.
A. few days later member of the Nor
gan firm became member OF the
board of directors of the Bell company
and still another few days and the an
nouncement was made that the real
purchaser of the Independent compa-
MES was the Morgan firm. This was
pointed out as proof that the Bell COM
pany was obtaining monopoly on the
telephone business throughout the
country. About this time another an
| nouncement was made that the Bell
company had bought control of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
and that the great wire merger would
probably include also the Postal Tele
| graph company, the only great compel
! itor of the Western Union. Clarence
Mackay. head of the Postal, denied that
| his company was in the deal in any
| way, and he declared that the Postal
would remain independent and that it
| would fight as hard as ever for busi-
| ness in competition with the Western
| Union.
| 1t was learned that the Bell company
planned to work the telephone busi-
ness and the telegraph business in such
close connection as to make them prac-
tically one.
The Continental Telephone and Tel.
egraph company is planned to be a
great transcontinental indepedent tele-
phone line in competition with the Bell
and in competition also with other in
dependent lines. II. c. Stifel, OF st.
Louis, who was interested for time III

mental, and it is said to be his dream
to have some day an Independent sys-

the Bell long distance lines.

Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 13.--It looks
like the Independent telephone situa
ton in Indiana is about to become as
badly muddIed as ever, because of the
numerous reports and rumors which
have been circulated in the last few
days in regard to alleged new deals in
volving the ownership of the Indiana
independent telephone companies. Two
principal stories have been sent out
by telegraph during the last two or
originated in Cleveland. said that q
deal was on by which the firm of j. P
Morgan Il Company, of New York
would sell their Independent telephone
interests in Indiana and Ohio to the
Continental Telephone and Telegraph
company, which, in turn would sell
the properties to the Postal Telegraph
company.
The next story. which came out ir
the papers yesterday, was from New
York, and said that J. p. Morgan 4
Company had sold the telephone prop
critics to the Postal Telegraph compa
ny. The Continental company was
not mentioned in connection with tbs
deal.
1t is safe to expect that other stories
of a similar nature will come out with
in the next few days, since they have
got Such a good start already i

who have watched the progress of the

TAKE A JOY RIDE:
GIRLS SORRY NOW
Four Lassies Kidnap a Sleigh
and Then Mixup in a
Runaway.
PITCHED INTO SNOW BANK
WHEN THE SLEIGH COLLiOED
WITH A CURB AND A POLICE
MAN HAD TO ORGANIZE HIM.
SELF AS RESCUE PARTY.

Love for adventure and a desire to
perpetrate a girlish lark resulted dis
astrously for four girls in the east
end last evening. An employe of the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power
company hitched his horse. attached
to light sleigh. to hitching rack on
North Eighteenth street, while he en-
tered a house to do some repairing.
During his absence four small girls,
who were playing near by, were seiZ-
ed with a brilliant idea. Unhitching
the horse they jumped into the sleigh
and had the time of their young lives
for while.
But not for long. however. Their
joy ride was destined to come to an
abrupt and sad ending. While round
ing the corner of Sixth and Main
streets the horse became unmanage-
able, the young driver grew excited.
the sleigh wasn't hot for the idea of
being butted into the curbing, and
four frightened occupants made a big
dent in huge snow drift in the gut
ter. A big policeman came to their
rescue and picked them out, while
the horse continued his run east on
Main street. The animal was stopped
at the corner of Eighth and Main
streets and with the exception of a
broken shaft on the sleigh. no dam
age resulted. Four wiser lassies quiet
ly sneaked back to their homes and
mum was the word on the part of all
of them.

ASK FOR INJUNCTION

East Main Street Residents Go Into
Court and Present Petition for Tenn
porary Restraining Order Against
Sherman WoIfgang's Horse Breed
ing Barn-Judge Parker Takes Case
Under Amusement.
The action often threatened by resi-
dents Of East Main street. In the vi
cinity of Eighth avenue, to abate the
alleged nuisance existing in the Sher-
man Wolfgang horse breeding stables,
came to head this morning when the
application of j. G. Williams and Fred
Scheduling, for q temporary writ of In
junction, was submitted to Judge
+. M. Parker. The judge took the case
under advisement, with the UNDER
standing that he would rule on it be-
fore Aug. 2.
The arguments were not quite COM
pleted, and by agreement the attorneys
were given the right to file additional
arguments by o'clock wednesday
morning.
The allegations in the petition are
that the barn, and the business con-
Quoted therein, is a nuisance in the
neisluborhood. The petitioners com
planned to the city council. which de-
clined to act, because of the claim that
the compliments could find proper re-
dress in civil action. The defendant
denies that nuisance exists and
claims that the premises are clean and
the business conducted in an orderly
manner.
