TROLL Of COR
PORAT|ONS
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE AND
LABOR NAGEL POINTS OUT DE-
FECTS IN PRESENT LAWS AND
URGES TAFT MEASURE.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Federal con-
troll of corporations is necessary to
the commercial preservation Of the
country, declared Charles Nagel, Sec
rotary of commerce and labor of the
United States, in an address before
the Industrial Club here tonight.
AS to the power of the national
government to authorize the organ
ization of federal corporations, Mr..
Nagel said there could be no ques-
ton. The existing system of clash
ing state laws-"a system on all sides
at war with itself''-he regarded as
intolerable, and he assured his hear
ers that the consequence of federal
corporation law, such as President
Taft had proposed, could make for
nothing but the general good.
The purpose of the government to
regulate the corporations, in the opin-
ion of the secretary, could not be
considered as an attempt to encroach
upon state authority, but as deter
mination to employ old authority
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-02-18

for the solution of new problems.
A change of attitude regarding the
relation of national to state author
ity, he believed, had come over the
country with the development of
problems too big for the state indi-
vidually to meet.
Among the more important prob
lens, said Secretary Nagel, appears
to be the question whether or not
the national government may and
should authorize and regulate the
organization and conduct of federal
corporations. Only a few years ago
the bare suggestion of such an idea
filled the public with dismay. The
authority was denied and the policy
was questioned. Today, the irrecon-
cilable conflicts to which ordinary
business organizations are subjected
in our state have forced a general
recognition that something must be
done to relieve the situation.
''The idea is not limited to any
particular locality of our country or
to any special class. From all parts
East and West, North and South, city
and country, come the suggestions
that some relief upon these lines must
be worked out. The proposition has
now been squarely put before the
country. The president of the Unit
ed States has made a distinct recon-
mendation in a message, calling at
tention to the needs, and submitting
for consideration a form to which
legislators and constituents may give
their attention.
In considering the proposition, Sec
rotary Nagel stated, that three points
must be determined-first, the ques-
ton of the governments authority;
second, the conditions which make
advisable such legislation, and third,
the consequence of such legislation.
cit has seemed to me from the very
start said the secretary on the ques-
ton of authority, that no one could
subject this question to Thoughtful

consideration without arriving at the
conclusion that the Federal Congress
must undoubtedly have the author
ity.
From the earliest case in which
the exclusive rights of congress to
regulate interstate commerce was
considered, it was made apparent
that the authority to provide for the
organization of business corporations
was necessary incident to the ex-
ercise of that authority, and again
and again the supreme court has said
that congress has this power"

ties in dealing with the corporations.
Secretary Nagel said he did not be-
lieve, but he attributed the failure
of the states to cope with the COM
mercial conditions to inability rather
than to negligence.
THE plain and indisputable fact
is" he said, that the commerce of
these organizations with which we
are really concerned has outgrown
both the boundaries and the author
ity of any particular state. In other
words, the individual state is vainly
struggling to control conditions that
extend beyond it with respect to ter

80 PERSONS LOST
when FERRY SINKS

LUDINGTON, Mich.-Thirty lives
were lost when Pere Marquette ferry
No. 18, bound from Ludington to Mil
waukee, went to the bottom of Lake
Michigan.
The disaster was one of the worst
in the history of navigation on Lake
Michigan. The car ferry Pere Mar.
quette No. 1S, was the flagship of
feet of six steel car ferries owned
and operated by the Pere Marquette
Railroad Company.
The boat was valued at 100000,
and the cargo, which included 29 load
ed cars. at 100000 to s15O,OOO. The
total loss will exceed 100000, which
Is fully covered by insurance.
The cause of the disaster is a mys-
terry. Among the survivors the conclu-
sion seems to be that the car ferry's
after water compartment filed
through an oper or broken headlight,
which was followed at the last min
ute by bursting of bulkheads.

ALASKA GOLD VALUED
AT S57,5OO STOLEN
Lead Pigs Are Substituted for
lngots While in Transit

sEATTLE.-Gold bullion valued at
t57.6O0. part OF shipment OF s470,0OO
from the Washlngton.Alaska Bank Of
Fairbanks. Alaska. to the Dexter-Hor.
ton National Bank OF Seattle. on the
steamship Humboldt. was stolen in
transit and lead substituted In the
strong box that had contained the
bullion.
The gold when II left Fairbanks
on a Yukon River steamer for Daw-
son and White Horse was contained
in three wooden boxes and was In the
care OF the Alaska-Pacinc Express
Company. When the boxes were
opened by the Canadian customs oiii-
cials at Dawson the gold bars were
found to be as stated in the express
company's papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay office in Seattle,
and one contained pigs OF lead. not OF
gold. The seals of the box were in
tact when It reached the Office, and
1t was evident that the robbery had
been committed by removing one
end of the box. The gold was In
sured eagainst loss by the express
company.
1t is supposed that the gold was
stolen on the Yukon steamer between
Dawson and White Horse. or on the
steamer Humboldt between Skagway
and Seattle. There would have been
small opportunity for robbery In the
essay Office or in the short railroad
run from White Horse to Skagway.
The gold weighed $50 pounds, ana the
disposal of such heavy plunder must
have required time and preparation.
The gold was In the purser's cabin
and 1t is not customary on the god
ships to take elaborate precaut on
against robbery.
Detectives working on the case have
made no arrests, and say they have
no clew on which to work.
