Washingfon.-The Railroad Securi
ties Commission. headed by President
Arthur T. Hadicy of Yale, has report.
ed that 1t would be practically impos.
sibie at this time to place issues OF
railroad securities under federal con.
trot.
The commission recommends that

nancing is the most effective weapon
against stock watering which the gov
eraAeRt has at its command.

II recommends that whenever a

The commission was created in 1910.
when the Senate refused to accept a
House amendment to the pending rail
road bill. providing that all future is
sues OF stock and railroad securities
be placed under the control OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission. Many
Of the Senate Democrats opposed 1t as
an invasion OF states rights. Presi-
dent Taft at the time told Republican
leaders the party was committed to
such a measure. but when 1t appeared
impossible to pass 1t. the President
agreed to have the clause eliminated.
with the understanding that a com
nsission to study the subject would be
allowed. This was done and the com
mission began work In the autumn. of
1910. Public hearings were held and
Chairman Hadley studied the prob
lem abroad
The commissions principal conclu-
ss0ls are:
That any attempt by Congress to
adopt the policy OF federal regulation
to the exclusion of state regulation,
would be premature
That for the present. state authori-
ties should make concerted effort to
havasonize existing requirements.
That Congress should prepare for
the future by giving consideration to
\ federal incorporation act which
would permit Interstate railroads to
exchange their state charters for ma
tional ones.
The commission takes the ground
that constitutional questions involving
the scope and extent OF federal au-
thority are unsettled and will remain
30 for some time; and that while such
= condition exists. to superimpose fed
erd regulation upon state rgulation
would add to the conflicts and complex
ifs&s, which in the public interest.
should rather be diminished than in
creased.

WANT EXPORT DUTY ON ART
Great Britain Is Being Denuded
of Her Treasures.
rpv Cable to The Tribune !

London. May 1.-THE nation Is being
denuded of it's art treasures at far too
rapid n rate. This was the pith OF all
the speeches at the meeting Of the Ma
tional Art Collections Fund yesterday
Sir Edgar Vincent. who stood As Free
Trade candidate at the general election
suggested that an export duty should be
placed on the sale of works of art. The
value Of pictures leaving England to'
America i'm an ordinary year was De
tween one and two millions sterling, ana
q 10 per cent duty would provide an
annual income sufficient to purchase
three or four pictures of considerable
merit.
Mr.. Vincent said the gradual disap-
nearance Of famous pictures from Brit
ish private collections was due to TWO
causes-the rapid increase of wealth III
America and the requirements OF the
Chancellor Of the Exchequer OF TINS
country
He had heard of a firm In New YORK
which i'm tho course OF the last three
months had sold six Rembrandts. They
had therefore. to deal with an alto
cether new condition of affairs, and 1t
was their duty 10 bring pressure on the
government TO provide further state AID.

rock about twenty feet from the shore
and fifteen feet from the brink of the
falls. There she was held until Har-
rington reached the bank with a pike
pole. Standing i'm a shore eddy and
reaching out at arms length, the officer
was Just able to hook the pike into her
dress.
Her arms pnioned by the terrific cur
rent. Mrs. Hartley tried by turning her
body TO get free from the pole and go
over the falls. but she was unsuccessful.
HARRINGTON with the aid of several other
men. dragged her To shore.
ON the river bank was found letter
and a bunch Of flowers. The letter read:
"No longer to be treated as thing de-
mented.'
At the hospital tonight it was said
that Mrs Hartley could not live.
