WANTS PUBLICITY TO

HERBERT KNOX SMITH URGES
MILD REGULATION
Commissioner of Corporations in Re.
port to Secretary of Commerce
Says Corporate Abuses
Have Been Ended

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-That great
interstate industries can be brought
under a permanent federal supervision
through a system of regular reports 10
a federal agency, in a rational, erect
i've way, which will involve no drastlc
action, but on the contrary will fore
stall it, is the conclusion drawn IN the
annual report of Herbert Knox Smlth,
commissioner Of corporations, to the
secretary of commerce and labor.
The report was made public today.
publicity will improve the standing
of our corporate securities both at
home and abroad" Mr.. Smith declares,
"and will help to give our business ma
chinery that foundation of fairness and
openness and public confidence which 1t
must have if it is to be a permanent
factor in our national advance.
ut will bring together the govern
ment and the corporate manager IN
conference and cooperation, which
alone can serve to adjust continuously
the complex and changing relationship
between our business forces and the
public welfare"
Mr.. Smith contends that already, un-
per public condemnation made possible
by facts plainly stated, great corporate
abuses have been abandoned. He says
that a gigantic system of railroad rate
discrimination has been wiped away
and numerous forms of commercial op-
preston diminished.
Corporate managers themselves, says
Mr.. Smith, are frankly advocating a
more open accounting.

TAFT APPROVES
PINCHOT'S PLAN
FOUR MILLION ACRES OPENED
FOR HOMESTEAD
Large Area Taken from Reserves Is
Scattered Throughout Many
Tracts-Idaho Favored
by Decision
tAssociated Press1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-More than
100000 acres of land will be stripped
from the forest reserves of the United
States soon and restored to the pub
lie domain for homestead settlement
through the governments policy in
carrying out Clifford Pinchots idea as
to the classification of forest lands.
This is the initial result Of Presi-
dent Taft's approval of plan Jointly
submitted to him few days ago by
Secretaries Wilson and Ballinger for
the reclassification of these lands.
The lands involved in the restoration
for settlement are those not suitable
for forest purposes and represent more
than per cent of the total forest area.
It is difficult to estimate what will be
the total elimination when the whole
area has been mapped out.
It cannot be stated at this time what
withdrawals will be made from the
public lands for forest purposes in ac-
cordance with the policy of classical
ton. The subject is under considera-
tion, and the land best adapted to for
est purposes will be ADDED to the ma
tional forests, but the matter has not
reached concrete form.
The great area which would be elm
mated from the forests is scattered
throughout the reserves, it was an
nOunced To-Day.
Taken from Reserve
Tracts in the interior of the forests
and much land along the edges will be
lifted out of the confines of the re-
serves, establishing with greater ex-
actness the boundaries of the forests.
Some land eliminated IS suitable for
dry farming. though the greater part
is grazing land. These lands, more
suitable for tilling and grazing than
the growing of trees. will now. be
placed to profitable use instead of ly-
ing idle within the national forests.
In Idaho, which has a large national
forest area, 100000 acres will be elm
mated, OF which "a per cent is tillable.
Elimination in similar proportion Will
be made in other western states.
The forest service has been at work
since May collecting data to determine
the proper classification of the lands
within the national forest domain, and
the nlan evolved by the interior and
agricultural departments is expected
10 insure the amicable administration
of +he public lands by the general land
office and the forest bureau.

PLAN RECEPTION
FOR ROOSEVELT
TAFT is TOLD OF PROGRAM
OF WELCOME
PRESIDENT HOPES TO ATTEND
DEMONSTRATION
New York's Republican League Presi-
dent Says Greeting Must Be De-
void of Factional Politics.
Executive Consulted
rAssoo,ated Pressl

WASHINGTON Feb. 9,-President
Taft today was given the full details
of the plans formulated for the re-
ception of former President Roosevelt
on his arrival in New York in June.
Colonel stewart, president of the
New York State League of Republican
clubs. and representatives of the Re
publican club of New York told the
president the committee would extend
=. formal invitation for him to be pres
ent at New York as the guest OF
honor.
In the cabIegram received yesterday
MIR. Roosevelt stated that he would be
glad to accept a reception provided 1t
was made a simple affair and ten
dered on the day of his arrival.
Colonel Stewart said today that the
idea now is to have the steamer on
which Mr. Roosevelt arrives met down
the bay by a feet of yachts and har-
bor boats and that there be land pa
rade of some sort.
1t is planned to have the president
present at New York so that Mr..
Roosevelt may call upon him, the day
TO end with a big banquet at which
President Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt Will
be the principal speakers.
Colonel Stewart said the reception
was to be kept free from any suspi-
cion of factional politics and there was
nothing of the return from Elba"
movement connected with it.
President Taft had hoped to go to
Alaska during the coming spring, but
indications are that he win not be able
to take the trip unless congress ad-
journs early in May.
The president said he would not go
to Alaska unless he could be back in
this country June % when his son,
Robert A. Taft, graduates from Yale.
Under these circumstances it is prob
able the president will be able to be
in New York when Mr.. Roosevelt re-
turns from his African expedition.
The president was told by Colonel
stewart that he would be kept in
formed of the details Of the reception
as they progress and that his wishes
VIII be consulted and will outweigh
any other considerations making up
the program.

FOR HIGH PRICES
MISSOURI SENATOR HANDLES
QUESTION FEARLESSLY
ASKS WHY REPUBLICAN CHIEFS
WANT TO DO PROBING
Claim Made in Senate That Very Men
Responsible for Food Conditions
Are crowding Onto
Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb 9.-As finally de-
termined today, the investigation of the
increase of prices of food and other
necessaries of life, which the senate is
about to enter on, will cover a broad
field.
The measure providing for such inVes-
tigation was passed today with compara-
lively little discussion. 1t authorizes an
inquiry by special committee of seven
senators into the general enhancement of
values, covering not only food and cloth
ing, but many other articles used in
everyday life.
The investigation also viii cover the
question of salaries, earnings and the
tariff.
At the instance of Senator Burton, the
resolution was made to cover all COM
modities, while senator Warren obtained
the insertion of hides, leather and boots
and shoes; Senator Johnston the insertion
of beef. sheep and hogs, and Senator
Bacon that of steel.

NEW UNIT OF EXCHANGE
SUGGESTED AS RELIEF

NEW YORK, Feb. 81. Pease Nor,
ton, professor Of political economy OF
Yale. who believes that the increased
rheanenine is responsible for high
prices, is convinced that the only per-
manent remedy for the evil is the
adoption of new standard Of money
to supplant the gold dollar. He makes
this suggestion in statement just
issued here.
Prof. Norton proposes a new unit OF
exchange which he calls the dill
This, he says, would be an imaginary
unit whose value would be equal to
the purchasing power of certain speci-
fic quantities of staple commodities
as designated in federal law. His
plans include also a central bank,
which would issue on demand to banks
and licensed storehouses dill credit
notes to the extent of 10 per cent OF
the value of gold, silver or commodi-
ties on hand.

letter today to the National Gamers
association and allied organizations In
convention here, warned the packers
of canned fruits and vegetables from
entering into the controversy over the
use of preservatives.
THE packers of canned goods can
not be advantaged by becoming IN
volved in a controversy, which has no
natural connection with their busi-
ness he said.
American canned goods are the best
In the world and need no preservatives.
We know the Gamers of the country
use no preservatives in their goods
and I desire to have conveyed to the
organizations now in session my hope
that the Gamers will refuse to be made
the tools of those interests which are
fighting the rulings of the national
government under the pure food acts"
A Brakeley of Bordentown, N. J.,
condemned the attempt to force the
dating of canned goods, explaining that
shortage of product might force the
carrying of indelibly dated cans from
year to year.

Attornev,s Statement

Attorneys Statement
'"The evidence in the investigation by
the state before the coroners jury as
to the death of Col. Swope was not
such as to impress counsel for DR..
Hyde with the belief that anything of
a substantial nature has been shown
tending to discredit his statement
heretofore made that he is neither re-
sponsible, by accident nor design, for
the death of Col. Swope, or that the
death resulted from any other than
natural causes.
1.-THE statements of the experts en-
ployed by Mrs. SWope were so at Var1-
ance with one another that no reason
able conclusion coull be drawn there
from.
Counsel for DR.. Hyde therefore re-
fused to permit him to be sworn as a
witness, accepting full responsibility
therefor, with the assurance to the
public that a complete investigation
will result in the exoneration of DR..
Hyde from all blame in the matter"
At the request of the coroner, Miss
Pearl Kellar again took the stand and
detailed that part of her story of yes
terday in which she had described the
condition of Col. Swope from the time
he had taken the capsule given her by
DR.. Hyde until he died.
Miss Kellar described the first con-
vulsion experienced by Col. Swope.
"Then,'' she continued, latter he had
turned his head from the window his
eyes We're fixed-he went into the quiv-
ering motion 1 told about yesterday.
His hands clenched and there was
terrible motion over the whole body
and he was making a sound, not with
his mouth open but evidently with his
teeth clenched, with the mouth tight
ly closed He made this sound at the
same time he made this motion sup
pose that convulsion lasted ten min
utes. His arms were raised and his

Tells Story of Crash
The story of the accident as told by
Mrs. Brainerd Gilchrist, who with her
sister-in-l law, Miss Nora Gllchrist, was
on the front seat of the Long Beach
car, was told at her home 1116 Orange
avenue, last night as follows:
I'VE were sitting on the outside front
seat of the Long Beach car when the
cars collided. Just before the accident
lantern ahead of us about fifty yards,
should think. Upon noticing the signal
the motorman reversed his levers and
put on the brakes in an endeavor to
stop his car, but upon seeing that he
could not he jumped from the car.
ut all happened to quickly that those
on the car did not have time to think.
All the seats in the car We're occupied
at the time. The report that the Cata-
lima car was dark at the time of the
accident is a mistake. I remember
distinctly of seeing the lights in the
car at the time of seeing the red Ian
tern.
IT was not injured at all, but my
sister-in-law, Nora, was slightly
bruised about the shoulder by being
thrown against the door of the car.
1t is a wonder to me that more were
not injured, and consider that my sis
ter's and my escape was nothing less

REORGANIZATION
OF NAVY VOTED
HOUSE COMMITTEE ACCEPTS
MEYERS PLANS
GETS A YEAR TO DEMONSTRATE
SUCCESS OF POLICY
Secretary Permitted to Divert Funds
from One Bureau TO Another.
Admiral Gone Replies
to Charges
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The long
drawn out dispute in the house COM
mittee on naval affairs over the sub
ject of indorsing the plan of. Secre-
tary Meyer for the reorganization of
the navy is practically settled, it was
stated today, and next week the COM
mittee will take action which will be
in effect tentative approval of the sec
retary's ideas.
The secretary will be given the OPP
portunity to demonstrate in the next
year the worth of his plans. Repre-
sentative Dawson of Iowa furnished
the suggestion by which the commit
tee and the secretary reached COM
mon understanding.
Under Mr. Dawson's plan, which it
is expected the committee will adopt,
appropriations for 1911 will be made
under the old system, but Secretary
Meyer will be vested with authority
to distribute the expenditures as he
may see fit.
To guard against a diversion of the
funds from their proper channels 1t
will be required that the money be
spent solely for the purpose intended
by congress.
This will permit the secretary to di-
vert funds from one bureau to another
in accordance with MS plan. ana VIII
still confine them to the objects in
tended.
Other Requirements
The committee is expected to re-
quire further that when the secretary
submits his estimates to congress for
the year 1912 he must do so under the
existing plan Of apportionment. This
will avoid giving sanction of law. to
the Meyer plan and at the same time
will give the secretary the opportunity
of trying out his reorganization idea
for a year.
The Meyer plan provides for the
abolition of the bureau of equipment,
the placing of all construction under
the direction of officers of the line, and
a rearrangement of the duties of some
other departments
Rear Admiral Cone, chief of the bu-
reau of steam engineering, was before
the committee today in an endeavor
to refute charges made by Admiral
Capps, chief of the bureau Of con-
struction, who told the comittee some
days ago that Admiral Cones figures
on certain estimates and expenditures
were incorrect.
Admiral Cones explanation seemed
to be satisfactory to the committee.
Secretary Meyer will appear before
the commiaattee again, after which
the naval appropriation bill will be
taken up and reported.

CONCERNING MERGER
Elimination of Competition In Ohio

That Combine Is
Illegal
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Feb. 81. P. Morgan
may voluntarily testify in New York In
few days concerning the recent pur-
chase by his firm of a controlling inter-
est in the United states Telephone
company of Cleveland, Ohio, and the
Cuyahoga Telephone company or the
same state.
Protesting minority stockholders of
| the companies are in New York taking
dispositions to be used in the Ohio
courts in suits to check contamination
of the purchase, maintaining that j. F.
Morgan Ss Co. acted for the American
Telephone and Telegraph company (the
Bell interests) in acquiring six 1nde-
pendent companies in Ohio and Indiana
and that as competition has ceased in
that territory the transaction is ille-
gal.
Morgan & Co have held all along
that any purchases they made were
simply as an investment of the firm.
H. b. McGraw of Cleveland and Sam
uel b. Jeffries of st. Louis jointly rep
resenting minority stockholders, said
this afternoon that Mr.. Morgan had
volunteered as a witness and that he
would be called, probably in day or
two.
The hearing is being held here be
fore a notary deputized by the Ohio
supreme court, where the original suit
was brought.
Denies Interest
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which controls the
Central Union company in Ohio and
Indiana, contends that the deal never
went through, and that it does not
know who owns the Independent COM
panies and that 1t has no interest
whatever in them It further asserts
that competition in that territory is as
| strong as ever.
Evidence taken today showed that
the American Telephone and Telegraph
company negotiated with r. L. Day &
| Co., bankers, to acquire the controlling
! interest in the Ohio and Indiana COM
| panies, on the understanding that the
American company would take these
| holdings if it found it could do SO le-
gally. r. l. Day & Co. acquired the
| holdings and later disposed of them
| but the American company asserts that
it was not the purchaser
| A member of the firm of r. L. Day &
Co will take the stand tomorrow, and
! the minority stockholders hope to show
that J. p Morgan S5 Co. were the pur-
| chasers, acting for the American Tele-
! phone and Telegraph company. The
| American company admitted today that
