MANN TALKS
IN DEFENSE OF PRESIDENT
TAFT'S RAILROAD MEASURE

advance of those heretofore made into
law"
Mr.. Mann said the bill would give
greater expedition to justice, greater
advantages on even terms to all ship
pers for the greater security to those
who care to invest their money in
railway stocks and bonds and greater
protection to those railroads whose
managements desire to operate them
efficiently in the interests of the peo-
pie who use them and the stockholders
who own them.
Mr.. Mann summarized the propositions
involved in the pending bill under three
heads. These were he = First, speedy
determination of dis " the creation

having no greats So1 sdiction than the
circuit courts NJ - le; second, enlarg-
ing the statut(r>a des of the railways

be kept open as far as possible and rates
shall not be maintained unreasonably high

inally though not really invested either
In the construction or in the equipment
of the road.
Mr. Mann analyzed the bill in detail. It's
provisions have already been published.
He said among other things that 1t elimi-
mated secret agreements between rail-
roads as to classifcations and rates by
requiring the filing of such agreements
and by not authorizing advance approval
of them by the commission. 1t must Sc
cure approval to have it construed an
equitable rate, he said, and he stamped
the railroad tariff sheet system as
"abominable, complicated, unwieldly and
unnecessary" he declared. and added the
bill would simplify this. Acknowledging
that this provision was not entirely salts
factory to the shippers, Mr.. Mann ex-
planned that it at the same time avoided
opening wide the doors of making re-
bates.

Quebec Puts Ban Upon
Pulp Wood Exportation

Quebec, April 12.-That the province of
Quebec will prohibit the expectation of
pulp wood, cut on the crown lands of
the province, to the United States, was
announced in the legislature this after
noon by Premier Gouin. The premier
said:
"I have been criticised for speaking on
the question of the expectation of pulp
wood at banquet in Montreal shortly
after the close of last session. L did this
because 1 wanted to let the public know
of our stand before submitting the mat
ter to the house in order that the views
of all interested parties might be heard
before the matter was settled. What I
declared in Montreal | repeat here-that
we will prohibit the expectation of pulp
wood to the United States.
the province that we will increase the
stumpage dues an average of 60 per cent
and the ground rent from So to So per
square mile.
1--WE have not spoken of this question
during the earlier part of the session
because when the session opened tariff
war was threatened between Canada and
the United States. a-.-s-..s .-=ez=--
1--WE have the right to refuse the ex
portation of pulp wood by order in coun-
ell Within few days an order, there
fore, will be passed by the council to this
effect Our new laws will be similar to
those of Ontario on the subject.

GRAND JURY
TAKES SLIGHT REST BUT
SENDS FOR MIR. HOFFSTOT

Refusing to strike down the entire ar
ray of talesmen serving on the grand
jury because Harrison Nesbit the former
national bank examiner was alleged to
be incompetent to serve as he is not a
qualified elector under the act of 1867,
Judge Robert S. Frazer today admins-
tered a blow at the bulwark of the de-
fense Judge Frazer takes the ground
that the act does not require jurors to be
qualified voters and thus the provisions
of the legislative act do not, 1t is stated,
apply. He contends in his decision that
even though Nesbit were not quail
fed voter his disqualification would be
purely a legal one, and one that would
not tend to inpeach his capacity, integrity
or impartialness
E. Winter, president of the Working
mans Savings Bank and Trust company,
who pleaded nolle contendre to the charge
of bribing M. E. Einstein. a former select
councilman, again was before the grand
jury today.

the Pressed Steel Car company; Cashier
George G. Schmidt of the German Ma
tional bank of Allegheny, Arthur e.,

others questioned by the grand jury.

CANNON SITTING
ON A POWDER MILL

Washington, April 12.-Speaker Cam
mons declaration to the House 'insur-
gents" during his speech yesterday
brought some positive statements from
the insurgent leaders today.
"The speaker can continue to make
these irritating defies,' said Represent
ative Victor Murdocl1 of Kansas ."un-
til after the administration campaign
is disposed of. After we have passed
the important legislation in hand his
case will be attended to. A man cam
not make large bluffs without eventu-
ally being called"
Representative PoindeXter of Wash
ington remarked "Cannons action is
foolish. He is sitting on powder mill
He'll touch this thing off some day and
will find himself going up through the
dome of the capitol"
There were many informal confer
ences among the "insurgent' members
during the day. Some were disposed
to take action for the disposition Of
the speaker without further delay, but
the greater number counselled that
nothing drastic should be done until
after the administration measures were
out OF the way.
Many democrats also discussed the
situation There was nothing to In
dicate that the members of the minor
ity had changed their minds since they
voted solidly three weeks ago TO de-
pose Speaker Cannon. although the
opinion was advanced by some that ir
might be desirable from a purely party
standpoint to allow the issue OF
'Cannonism' to remain as at present

Visit With Roosevelt

Porto Maurizio. Italy, April 12-After
spending a second day with Mr.. Roose-
welt, the afternoon being occupied in an
other long tramp into the mountains, Gift
ford Pinchot left for Zurich tonight,
seemingly in happy state of mind. He
still declined to make any statement with
reference to the result of his conference
with the former President, but his BEAM
ing countenance was as eloquent as
words.
"will you say whether you are salts
fed with the results of your vistT' he
was asked But Mr.. Pinchot only smiled
broadly.
Mr.. Roosevelt evidently is not exer-
cised over conclusion which may be drawn
in the United States from the announce
ment made today that he had accepted
an invitation from the former chief for
ester to address the national conserva-
ton congress this summer, following on
the heels of Mr.. Pinchots two days
visit.
my actions are misunderstood" he
said. Mr. Roosevelt went on to explain
that his interest in the conservation
movement had In no wise been dampened
by the trouble which mas taken place
in the interior department. He said he
would have attended the congress re-
gardless of what had happened during

chairman of the committee on inter

them and that they shall furnish with
reasona BILE diligence those advantages
of convenience and economical trans
portation for which they are construct

by the states"
Mr.. Mann declared that the Elkins
and Hepburn laws were mainly eff
fective and had not been followed by
"the disasters" that had been so free

would not necessarily speak of the past,
but of the future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt dined alone
with Miss Carew at the villa and spent
quiet evening. Kermit, with several
friends, took motor trip along the
coast, extending the journey beyond
the French frontier to Monte Carlo,
where he dined and passed the even

ing no connection with the anarchists.
Former Mayor Phelan of San Fran
cisco, who was expected to visit the
former President today, failed to put
in appearance.
The business men of Porto MauriZio
have seized the occasion of Mr.. Roose-
velt's presence and the honorary cit
izenship conferred upon him to launch
boom for the town, which they hope
soon will become the resort of the
Italian riviera and attract foreign Wis
itors, especially Americans. This aft

great port, to be rechristened Porto

They have also planned extensive i'm
provements in the town.

CONSUMPTION OF
LUMBER Is HEAVY

Washington, April 12.-The per capita
consumption of lumber in the United
States is from three to ten times as great
as that of the leading nations of Eu-
rope; five -eighths of the rough lumber
sawed in this country serves as raw
material for conversion into a more highly
finished and valuable product such as
furniture, musical instruments, farming
implements and other articles, according
to an examination made by the foreet
service of the wood-using industries and
wood consumption in several states.
OF the total sawmill output in Massa-
chusetts, Maryland, North Carolina and
Wisconsin in 1907 and 1908. So per cent
was used in the form of rough lumber and
GA per cent was manufactured into other
products.
The waste in the woods, the mill and
the factory Is such, 1t is estimated, that
two-thirds of what was in the trees Is
lost on the way to the consumer from
the three sources, and the greatest loss Is
in the saWmill.

ONE EFFECT OF
POSTPONING CASES

Washington, April 12-One effect of the
postponement of a decision by the su-
preme court in the Standard Oil and the
Tobacco trust cases, because of the desire
of that tribunal for reargument of the
issues involved, will be to defer action
by the department of justice against
other combinations believed to be oper-
ating In violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law. This holds good where the
vital points of attack on such corporations
are similar to those in the suits awaiting
land
On the judicial Interpretation of the
word monopoly by the supreme court
in the big cases hinges the method of
procedure by the department OF justice
in its future action in important trust
prosecutions. That word is said never
to have been defined adequately In Eng
Ash Jurisprudence. and the construction
to be placed on it by the court, therefore,
is awaited with interest.
An important case in which the At
torney General has deferred action. pend
ing decision in the Standard OIL and
the Tobacco trust cases, is that of an in
vestigation into the complaints of the
American Federation of Labor against
the United States Steel corporation.
What, If any, other cases were being
held back pending the courts decision
was not stated. In Issues like the WIN
dow glass combine, against which indict-
ments recently were obtained in Pitts
burg, and those similar to the Northern
Securities cases, the department expects
to continue prosecutions If it is convinced
the acts complained Of are in violation of
law.
Intimations are given also that some
thing soon may be expected from grand
jury Investigations touching the sugar
trust, as well as from the inquiries into
the alleged differentiation of imports at
New Orleans. N
