IN connection with the Panama Canal, fort-
hcatfons and tolls, the Committee on Inter
oceanic Canals Will hold a meeting in the
holiday recess to frame measures ia accord
snce with the recommendations in the
Presidents message. The committee Will
meet shortly before Congress reassembles
on January ).
One of the questions TO be discussed is
the procedure to be followed in preparing
legislation TO carry out the President
idea Of fortifying the canal In addition
70 the Committee on Interoceanic Canals,
the committees on Military Affairs and
Foreign Affairs win have something to say
of the proposed step, as il affects both the
military policy and international relations.
Opposition to any bill that may be intro
ducei is expected. but it is believed, accord
ing to the present outlook at least, that the
Senate will favor fortifying the canai, as
there are a number of Democrats who viii
support, il.
Some opposition TO President Taft's sug-
sestion that within certain limits the Presl-
dent be authorized to fix the tolls and ad-
just them TO what seems to be commerciai

Congress meets.
a bin bearing on the Panama Canal in
directly has been introduced by Senator
Flint chairman of the Committee on Inter-
oceanic Canals. having for its purpose the
prohibition Of the operation of steamship
lines in connection with railroads where
there is competition between the land and
water routes
The passing of such measure would put
sr end to the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
paDy's operation Of its line connecting the
isthmus with the west coast. 1t would al

coast and the Missouri and MISSISSIPPI
rivers. most OF which are under the con-
troll of competing railroads. With respect

for steamship lines and unrestricted COM
petition with the railroads in transconti-
mental traffic. This measure, which is CT
much wider scope than that recommended
nv President Taft. is hardly likely to come
up at the present session

A bill making sweeping changes in
the interstate commerce law for the
regulation of railroads, was introduced
in the house by Representative Mann.
of Illinois. The bill is not in accord
with the administration bill prepared
under direction of the president. In
stead of providing for a special court
to hear the interstate commerce cases.
Mann's bill would create a bureau in
the department of commerce and la
Dor, to be known as the bureau of
transportation, where the shipper may
file complaint and if satisfied that
cause for action exists the attorney
general would file petition with the
Interstate commerce commission and
prosecute the case at the cost of the

BIC MERGER OF
LOCAL CONCERNS
MAY Be EFFECTED
OFFICERS OF THE MUTUAL AND
TROLLEY LINE ARE NOW IN
NEW YoRKe"TY.
These TWO Big Brunswick Corpora
tions May Be Taken Over Shortly
by the Brunswick Dock and City Inn
provement Company.

Something seems to be doing in
New York with the Mutual Light Sc
Water company, the City and Subur-
ban Railway company, and the Bruins
wick Dock and City Improvement
company but just what it is cannot
be ascertained at this time, as off
cials of all of these companies are
now in the big city, but it is thought
that matters connected with the merg-
ing of the properties Of these three
corporations are being arranged.
Among the Brunswick men in New
York are F.. D. NJ. Strachan, presi-
dent of the Mutual Light and Water
company and the City and Suburban
Street Railway company, H. F.. Dun
woody, attorney for the same two cor
poraticns, and Albert Fendig, inter
ested in all three of the organizations.
All three of these gentlemen left for
New York early in the week.
Ii will be remembered that a few
months ago the Brunswick Dock and
City Improvement company made ap-
charter, increasing tie capital stock
from five TO ten million dollars. At
that time it was announced that a
deal had practically been closed
whereby the company would take over
the property of the Mutual Light &
Water company and the street car
company the owners OF these two
concerns to receive stock in the new
corporation.
While reports have been current
concerning the merging of these prop
critics, nothing authentic has ever been
given out, but 1t Is understood that
the Brunswick men are now in New
York for the purpose OF perfecting
the merger and some announcement
AS 10 the intents and purposes of the
new concern will probably be made
upon their return to the city
