Judge Breezy of Philadelphia was ac-
curate and pertinent when he said re-
Gently that an automobile was after all
a locomotive engine running on the
common roads. That is precisely what
it is, and the fact suggests the impera-
tive need of requiring the engineers Of
such devices to be competent for the
task of driving them. Children, fools
and drunkards have no place on the
drivers seat of a locomotive.

Taft Is Confident His Recommends

PEOPLE DIDN'T BUY AND

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-Many
big brokers who were credited
with having cleared millions in
the sensational upward move
ment in Steel and Reading have
lost all of their pron,s In the
past few weeks in the down
ward movement of the stock
market.
They loaded up on low-priced
securities and specialties in the
Industrial line, believing that
the lambs" would gobble up
all of the cheap lines at a good
profit TO the original investors.
The people didn't buy as ex-
pected. The banks refused TO
accept these stocks and the big
brokers had TO sell their first
class holdings to protect their
other issues.
Experts in the street say the
sharp slump was brought about
by the big interests who want
to frighten President iaft
against the enactment OF legis-
lation that Is objectionable TO
the leading financiers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s-President
Taft is today considering whether he
will have to put his back to the wall
and mix it" with the big financial
Interests, as we'll as with congress in
order to put through his legislative
program. From the beginning OF the
present session there has been a tire
mendous amount OF advice from the
interests In the matter OF the admin
istraIion's program, and the president
has had hard work in his efforts TO
prove that his measures are destined
ultimately" to benefit capital.
Every financier and railway mag
nate who calls at the white house TO
discuss legislation drags forth that
fearsome bugaboo--a financial panic
and tries TO show that any radical
legislation will ruin the country.
At some points this has approached
almost TO a threat. which the presi-
dent does not relish. He clings tena-
ciously TO his outlined program and Is
not prepared to relinquish any sub
stantial feature.
But II Wall streets temporary cpl
LEIPZIG At yesterday was the result OF
the Introduction of the presidents
federal incorporation bill in congress.
Wall street has reached point where
ii Is frightened by shadows. The pres
ident does not intend forcing the fed
eraI incorporation bill to passage this
year
II is extremely doubtful whether he
could prod congress into passing 1t
even II he so desired. But he decided
weeks ago that the measure was TO
be left over until next session for &C
ton. It's introduction at this time Is
10 allow plenty OF opportunity to
thresh out the faults and virtues OF
the bill in committee and on the floor.
The things that are worrying Wall
street most, however, are the inter
state commerce law amendments, rec
ommended by the president, and the
possibility of further trust prosecu-
lions. II the supreme court upholds the
verdicts In the Standard OIL and To-
bacco trust cases. II has been pretty
definitely settled that the president
contemplates q campaign under the
Sherman antitrust law. IL that law
holds good in the pending cases.
This does not set we'll on the Wall
street chest, and scientific efforts are
being MAJ to relieve the uncertainty
by securing a definite statement from
the president as to just what he In
tends to do But he refuses to com
NIT himself until the Standard OIL and
tobacco trust cases come down, refer
ring all inquiries to his messages.

The history OF the Cook case ex-

freight trains on the Guadalajara di-

The federal assistance was obtained
and shortly thereafter an energetic
campaign resulted in showing that
Mexican Orakemen composing Cook :

So far as can be learned the Next

participation in the robberies. but
