GREAT STRUGGLE
The Banker Warns Country Of
Danger in Japanese-Rus- !,
sian Alliance ii

New York, March THE note Of
warning that Jacob H. Schiff, the
banker, sounded regarding the situa-
tion in the far east and the possibility
of a war with Japan, was discussed in
board rooms of many banking houses
today. Mr.. Schiff helped finance ia
pan in her war with Russia. He made
it clear today that the worlds peace
was threatened by the recent union
of Japan and Russia with Great Brit
ain in the background. The banker
said: MY remarks were based sole
ly upon my own observations Of the
situation and not upon any specific in
formation. I spoke of the coming
struggle but not Of war and simply
desired to arouse the people OF the
United States to the necessity Of
promptly meeting the situation in q
spirit of righteousness. It was with
this thought in mind that ended my
remarks with the words Of the pro-
phet: Not by might and not by pow
er. but in my spirit, sayeth the Lord

Philadelphia, March THE convic-

cy to defraud the state in connection
with furnishing the state capitol, was
confirmed by the state supreme court
here today. Snyder was the former
auditor general and Shumaler was the
former superintendent of public build
ings and grounds.
Snyder and Shumaker were con-
victed in the Daphin county court at
Harrisburg on December Is, 1908, and
sentenced to serve two years each and
to pay a fine of $500 each and the
cost of the prosecution. John H. San
derson of Philadelphia, who had the
furniture contract for the capitol and
William l.. Mathues of Media, former
state treasurer, who paid the alleged
fraudulent furniture bills, were con-
victed and received similar sentences
at the same time. Sanderson and Ma
thues have since died.

-FOUR STATES IN
SUPREME COURT
Controversies Concerning State
Laws Will Form Gist of
Weeks Work

Washington, March -Four states,
in addition to the United States. are
to appear this wee kbefore the su-
preme court of the United States in
defense of rights asserted or laws en-
acted. Nebraska is concerned over
maintaining the constitutionality of
her grain elevator law of 1905. The
Missouri Pacific Railway company
failed to comply with the provisions
of this law which requires railroads
to construct switch connections for
grain elevators with a capacity of
$4,000 bushels, located along their
rights Of way. Its defense is the in
validity of the law.
Once again the controversy between
i the state of Kentucky and national
bank over the taxing of the 1atter's
shares of stock has come to the court
This time the suit involves the Citi-
zens National bank of Danville, Ky.
Arkansas comes into the court in
defense of her anti-drumming act. The
law forbids the drumming or solicit
ing ON trains of business for ply
sicians, masseurs. bath houses. board
ing houses or hotels. 1t was designed
to protect invalids travelling to Hot
Springs.
Minnesota has complained of illegal
cutting of timber OH her school lands.
She is seeking in a suit against the
Shevlin- Carpenter company to recover
thousands of dollars for timber alleged
to have been cut on thes lands without
permission of the state.
The United States is interested in
an unusual naturalization prosecution
and in a suit to determine whether a
railroad leasing. or otherwise procur-
ing the right to use tracks of another
land-aided railroad, is entitled to full
pay for carrying the mails or whether
1t is subject to twenty per cent re-
duction.
The naturalization question arises
in the case of the United States
against G. Holmgren of California. He
was indicted on charge of swearing
that he had known in the United
States Frank Werta, an applicant for
naturalization, for five years, where
as. it is alleged, he had known him
only four. The oath was made In q
state court. but Holmgren was prose-
cuted on the charge of perjury in a
federal court. The question has been
raised as to whether the federal courts
have jurisdiction in such case.
The question of pay for carrying the
mails arises out Of the contract of the
postofIice department with the Chi
cago. st. Paul. Minneapolis and Omaha
Railway company. The dispute II
over the service from LeAiars to Sioux
City, Iowa.

CUMNINS AND =.
CLAPP OBJECT
Are Opposed to Administration
Railroad Regulation Bill
File Minority Report

Washington, March 7.-Senators
Cummins and Clapp. as members OF
the interstate commerce committee, in
submitting minority report on the
that the effect OF the measure would
be not TO further restrain the power
of the common carriers but seriously
to impair the efficiency of existing
statutts. The creation of court of
commerce and the expenditures IL
would involve are held to be wholly
unnece ssary."
Reminding the senate of 'the tre-
mendous influence that will inevitably
surround the selection of such trib-
anal," they assert that it seems to
them fundamentally wrong to create
a court whose sole work will be the
trial of railway cases. During the
past three and half years they con-
tend, there have been but twenty-six
cases in which such court would
have had jurisdiction.
Further objection is found in the
fact that the bill in it's present form
would give the court greater power
to review an order of the interstate
commerce commission than is now
held by circuit courts and would ex-
tend that power to q practical retrial
upon tie merits of the order.
The opinion is expressed that un-
der the sections adding to the exist
fiig law a plan for the regulation of
the Capitalization of railroad corpora
tons, She abuse of 6ver-capitalizatio
could be legally continued. To ac-
complish the purpose OF the proposed
law, the two senators contend that all
that is required is plain statement
that capital stock issued by corpora
tions shall be paid at par and IL paid
for in property or services the rea-
sonable value thereof shall be fixed
by tht commission; and that capitali-
cation of carriers represented by
bonds would be sufficiently guarded If
the purpose for which the bonds
could be used were carefully pre-
scribed and penalties for misuse of
proceeds imposed.
Pointing out some of the things
whic... they think renders the whole
plan ineffective, the senators declare
It should include all corporation CON-
mon carriers, that there is nothing to
prevent a holding corporation from
issuing all the stocks and bonds its
pleases, that the privileges extend in
reorganization and consolidation con-
cerning the capitalization Of ipcreas-
ing values Of existing property or of
earnings expended in extending or
improving property and that 1t ex-
.pressly provides tk.t although every
nrovision Gf law be violated in the is

suance of stocks and bonds, they new
ertheless shall be valid In the hands
Of innocent purchasers.
Worst Feature.

ssss~SS'SesS
Worst Feature.
What is termed the most objec-
tional and harmful feature" Of the
railroad bill is the proposed departure
from the existing method Of defending
suits brought by carriers to make
imperative orders Of the commission.
The defense would be placed wholly
in the hands Of the attorney general
and the commission and shippers in
terested would be forbidden to take
any part in it. II the department of
justice thought the commission was
wrong in the order it could allow
judgment for the carriers by default.
Should the case go to trial, however,
the defense would be entrusted to a
lawyer unfamiliar with it.
II tht section designed to prevent
the consolidation Of railway lines
which directly or substantially" COM
pete with each other, should be en-
acted the opinion is expressed that
combinations could be lawfully effect
ed that were now forbidden. The SEN
ators declare it would permit water
and rail routes to consolidate; q
railroad corporation to buy all COM
'etitive steamship lines; any railway
-any operated by electric power
1hase all the railways In the
H. States and combine them In a
sins.A corporation; any railway oper-
ated by steam to extinguish all COM
petition of electric railways by pur-
chase, lease or combination; rail-
road company that has acquired be-
fore the act goes into effect. fifty per
cent of the capital stock Of COM
peting line, to purchase and hold the
remainder.
The proposal to confer upon the
court of commerce jurisdiction to de-
eide cases before the transactions out
of which they arise is strongly con-
demned. I'VE know of no good rea-
son why a court should attempt to de-
clare in advance the legality Of pro-
posed railway merger, any more than
it should attempt to determine for an
individual what he may lawfully do
in his business declare the two sen-
ators.
Objection also is found to the Sec
tion repeating the antitrust law with
IcopcCI W IdlS dGIcSuICuIo UOIWCCu
common carriers, and expressly lega-
lizing such agreements. They contend
that the inevitable consequence must
be an increase in rates and therefore
propose an amendment making such
agreements subject to the approval Of
the commission. 1t is claimed that
the section imposing penalty upon
carriers giving erroneous information
to shippers in regard to rates, is de-
fective because it is confined to rail-
road corporations.
Senators Cummins and Clapp would
further amend the existing law SO as
to make holding corporations come
within the jurisdiction of the inter-
state commerce commission making
term" common carrier embrace
all corporations having controlling
interest in common carrier.
