Taft WEARS SAME SMILE
Speaker Cannon Is Pleased With tho
Record INTERCHANGEABLE Leader
Says That Republican
Part Failed.

Washington, June 26.-President Taft
walked out Of the capitol at IL O'Clock
tonight, smiling.
The second session Of the sexty first
congress had just adjourned and he
had signed practically all matters Of
legislation that had been placed be-
for him. He received ~congratula-
lions from his cabinet and from mem
bers Of both branches Of congress upon
the successful passage Of most Of his
pet measures. Mr.. Taft shook hands
ell around and continued to smile.
Each house Of congress marked its
closing hour by voting for an inves-
tigation of the McMurray Indian con-
tracts. Instead Of the usual scene o1
comparatively undignifed relaxation
from the business of legislation, both
houses devoted serious attention to the
charges Of attempted bribery and other
forms Of improper influence made in
the senate yesterday by Senator Gore
of Oklahoma and subsequently in the
house Of representatives by Represen-
!ative Murphy, Missouri.
President Taft arrived at the CAPT.
tol about 10 o'clock with various mem
bers of the cabinet. They went to the
presidents room, where he waited to
act upon more important bills COM
ing to him from the two houses.
The closing procedure was Of the
usual order. The gavels Of the pre-
siding officers fell at approximately
the agreed hour and the first regular
session of the sixty-drst congress was
at an end.
Washington, June 25.-Speaker Can.
non tonight summarized the work of
congress in a statement which he gave
to the press. The speaker paid most
attention to the legislative work ac-
complished, referring only incidentally
to the fight which had been made on
the rules Of the house. The reform OF
the rules, he said, had resulted in lit
tie advantage.
The speaker asserted that the con.
gress just ended had done more and
better work than any congress Of which
he had been a member during his IS
years Of service in the house.
Washington, June 25.-Representa.
tive Clark, democra leader in the house,
commenting on the result Of the ses-
sion ended tonight issued a statement
saying in part:
"The republicans have begun their
old game Of claiming everything, but
1t Is another case of whistling to keep
up their courage, while going through
a graveyard. They are now Dragging
that they have fulfilled their promises.
Their biggest promise-the promise to
revise the tariff downward-they ut
terly have failed to fulfill. They re-
vised 1t upward and for so doing are

Fort Yates, N. D., June 25.-There

that the plumber of Indian delegates

that Archbishop Ireland would be pres

he may arrive in the morning.
There were very impressive services
held in connection with the congress.
Some Of the services are held in the

Chicago, June 24.-In a vigorous de.
Tense Of the power Of the national
government to legislate on the sub
ject of the issuance Of stocks and
bonds by railroad corporations sub
ject to the interstate commerce act.
Atty Gen. George w. Wickersham
spoke for an hour this morning be-
fore the Illinois State Bar association.
The basis for his talk was the pro-
vision in the new railroad law author
izing the president to investigate
questions pertaining to the issuance
Of stocks and bonds by railroad cor
porations n the power Of congress
to regulate them. The enactment Of
such a law he commended was not
nearly SO radical a step as was the
enactment of the permissive act of
1856 which gave to a railroad corpora
ton Of one state the right to carry
on interstate commerce, on the inter-
state commerce act of 1887. The at
torney general pointed out that OPP
position had been made to every pro-
gressive measure Of commerce regula-
ton. But" he declared, in closing his
speech, "the centralizing tedency has
gone steadily IN, and the control of
congress over interstate railroad COM
panies has been exercised in an in
creasingly comprehensive manner
Such progress is inseparable from
growth. The great arteries Of COM
m%unication between parts Of the coun-
try and the instrumentalities which
control their operation can only be
properly regulated in the public in
terest by the central national power;
a power which is sovereign, which is
exclusive when exercised; and which
should be exercised to correct every
evil of a public Character which ex-
perience demonstrates to be suscepti-
BILE Of correction only by national leg
islation."
