Comment of Senator NeWIandS
on Presidents Trust Message

Senator Newlands, democrat, of Nevada,
finds in President Taft's trust message
executive support for his bill proposing
a federal interstate trade commission for
the regulation of the big corporations.
But Mi. Newlands does not think Con-
gress will accept all of the Presidents
recommendations. and does not himself
agree with all of Mr.. Taft's conclusions.

accepted by Congress" Mr.. Newlands
said today. Il have been an advocate
of the national Incorporation of the
great railway systems. but have not
been prepared to go beyond this. and
in this matter l have tested the views
of my democratic associates. and | am
confident that no general incorporation
act can pass. AS the support of the
democratic party is essential to any
legislation We must turn our eyes In
another direction as to supplemental
legislation to the Sherman act.

HEARING ABOARD SHIP

Prompt Arrest for Chesapeake
Bay Captains Who III-Treat
Their Crews.

All the machinery of justice neceS-
sary to secure the prompt arrest and
bonding for speedy trial of brutal
captains and other violators of the
navigation laws along the Chesapeake
bay and it's tributaries has been pro-
yided by Secretary Nagel, upon recon-
mendation of Commissioner Chamber

owners Of the oyster feet and other
vessels who have "shanghaiied men
or who ill-treat, improperly feed and
insanitarily house their crews or
otherwise violate the laws and regu-
lations for the protection of seamen
and the navigation of the waterways.
Court will be held on the FORMER
carrying Collector Dryden and other
customs officials upon their quest. AS
fast as violations are detected warrants
will be obtained from the special COM
marshal of the offenders. who will then
be arraigned before the former official
for examination and bonding over for
trial in the Baltimore federal court.
Provision for Speedy Arrest.
This provision for the speedy arrest
and commitment of offenders obviates
the old and slow process of carrying
each prisoner to Baltimore for trial
1t is the first time the navigation au-
thorities have arranged for the holding
of commissioners court on the in
spection vessel as she proceeds from
one customs district to another. It
indicates the decisive purpose of Secre-
tary Nagel to stop "shanghaiing' and
the cruel and unlawful treatment Of
sailors aboard the small craft sailing
Chesapeake bay and other nearby fish
ing waters.
The Secretary'S action was initiated by
Collector Dryden, who returned to Balti-
more yesterday and reported the detec-
ton of twenty-three violations of the
law: one that OF captain who with
hatchet attacked a sailor who, to escape,

The country expected prompt recon-

revision said Mr.. Underwood In
stead Of that Congress gets his views
ON the trust question oeiieNe the
country is disappointed
TO my mind it is very clear that it Is
the purpose of the republicans To mag
Nifty the trust question and to minimize
tariff revision. The democrats feel that
tie tariff is a great issue before the peo-
pie at this time, and the dcmocI ats OF

Il do not believe the House democrats
are in favor of the Presidents recommen-

tirety / do not believe. the democrats
would go further than to provide com-
mission to overlook the corporations as
the interstate commerce commission does
the railroads.
But first let us attend to the tariff.
We were told that the President would
advocate revision based upon the report
of the tariff board. The House will wait
a reasonable time to hear from him, and

Congress is not ready to agree with the

it is not quite plain to me what the

Atlantic Deeper Waterways.

The Atlantic deeper waterways project
was supported in speech by Represent
alive J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia,
president of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association, made at the afternoon
session. He said, in part:
1.-THE present project Of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association cOntem-
plates the opening of a continuous inland
waterway along the Atlantic coast. be-
cause neither the ocean-going vessels nor
the railroads are competent, as now
equipped, to do all the btsiness that mod
ern industry and enterprise along the At
lantic coast are capable Of developing.
Much commerce now takes to the open
sea that should be borne inland If the
railroads were willing to carry it at water
rates and could deliver it on time it would
doubtless go by rail. But in the absence
Of canalization, Or improved inside water
ways, the business incurs the risk of the
sea.
1.-The toll Of the past month along the
Atlantic has been death and destruction
In ten years no less than 100 diSa sterS
to vessels have occurred along the Allan
tic seaboard. The property loss has eX-
ceeded $4O,O00O0O and the lives lost > 300
When life and commerce are thus lost a
problem is presented which the peopl /.
themselves should remedy. 1t is such a
problem as demands Immediate and eff
fective remedial legislation on the part Of
the government.
Mr. Moore contended that the failure
to provide suitable inside waterways for
commerce had a positive effect in in
creasing the cost Of living. The cost of
fuel increases along with the cost of
transportation, and the loss of life and
property at sea simply added to the COM
mon burden of expense, he said
