STOCKS ANDBON
REPORT. SUBMITTED
Commission Recommends Enforced Publicity and Physi-
cal Valuation of Railroad Properties Would Give
Power to Federal Agent
By ]. FRED EssARY.

After months Of study Of the methods
Of financing American railways, and
after hearing the views of leading
economists of the country on the rem
edy for corporate abuses, the Stocks
and Bonds Commission has presented
it's report to Congress-. President Taft
today transmitted the report to the
House and Senate without recommended
ton.
But two important reforms are pro-
posed by the commission. Enforced
publicity of all facts regarding the is
suing of stocks and bonds is recon-
mended. Physical valuation of the
properties of the railways is next
urged as a basis for determining the
fair value of stocks and bonds.
A complete review Of the history OF
railroad securities accompanies the re-
port, and extended comment is made
upon the practices which have grown
up under the present inadequate regu-
lation Of the financial end Of such
properties.
Recommends Federal Agent.
It Is recommended that the Interstate
Commerce Commission or some otheI
Federal agent be given power to ap.
prove or disapprove all future issues,
and It is urged that this body have
ample authority to call for books and
accounts and to inquire into the ma
ture of the collateral. which shall serve
as security.
Those interests which were expecting
radical recommendations from the COM
missioners will be disappointed. Gov
ernment ownership of railroads, for in
stance, IL shied at, and Is proposed only
as a final resort. Even the proposal that
the Federal Government give express
sanction to stock and bond Issues Is re-
garded as unwise. To assume this re-
sponsibility, the commission says, Is to
create the impression on the part of the
investing public that the Government ir
some way guarantees the value of such
issues.
The commission proceeds with it's in.
vestigation upon the assumption that II
railroad capitalization has an actual ef,
feet upon Interstate rates, the Federal
Government is interested In its control.
''It Is a matter of direct concern tc
the Federal Government" the report
says. that the facilities for handling
commerce between the States should
not be impaired"
Also, the commission makes 1t clear

SMITHS ATTORNEY
DEMANDS HEARING
IN ASSAULT CHARGE
First Move Is Made for De-
fense of Man Accused in
Bennett Case.

The first step in the defense of James
Smith, charged with assault on Morris
Bennett, with intent to kill, came in
the United States bracnh of Police
Court today when Attorney George C.
Shinn. counsel for the defendant, made
a motion for an immediate hearing in
the case.
Attorney Shinn contended that the
Government has no longer any right
to detain Smith without giving him a
preliminary hearing. Counsel for the
defense said the Government already Is
In possession of certain alleged evil
dence against Smith. and that the de-
fendant has a right to know immedi-
ately what Is charged against him, and
II the Government needs more time to
complete its case such a continuance
could be granted after the evidence in
hand has been heard. But counsel con-
tended that Smith has a right to de-
mand that he be brought into court i'm
mediately.
Assistant United States District At
torney Ralph Given replied that the
governments case largely hinges on
tim Of the alleged murderous assault
Mr.. Given said that Bennett is in the
hospital no,rt and is unable t9 appear in

The prosecuting attorney said that in
admitting Smith to $4,000 bail the Gov
eminent has given him the full benefit
Of his right until such time as the Gov
ernment Is ready to present its case.

AIKEN CITY POLICEMAN SLAIN
Wade Patterson Victim OF James
Seigler'S Gun.-ToWn Shocked
by News.

Aiken, Nov. 17.-One Of the most
unfortunate and ,deplorable tragedies
in the history Of Aiken occurred here
this afternoon, at o'clock, when Mr.,
James Seigler shot and instantly kill
ed Officer Wade Patterson, one OF the
oldest and most valued members OF
the police force of this city.
The story centres around a dog be-
longing to the dead policeman. 1t
seems that Mr.. Seigler had been play
ing with the dog, when the animal
became enraged and bit, or attempted
to bite, Mr. Seigler, whereupon the
latter became ircensed and kicked
the dog. This drew warning rebuke
from officer Patterson, who reminded
Mr.. Seigler that he had trifled with
the animal. Mr.. Seigler, it is said,
replied to the warning by cursing sew
eral times and the officer threatened
him with arrest.
Trouble Renewed in Store.
This seems to have closed the in
cident. The two men then separated,
Mr.. Seigler walking into the store Of
Mr. John Overstreet, entering through
the side door from Park avenue. Of
fcer Patterson walked to the Main
street entrance of the same store,
where the difficulty was renewed.
Words passed, which, it seems, pro-
voked considerable profanity from Mr.
Seigler, and for this Mr.. Patterson ar
rested him. Mr.. Seigler Immediately
offered bond, for his appearance and
Mr.. Patterson accepted the bond of
SIS.
The Fatal ShotS.
The report goes that Seigler hand
ed Patterson a fve-dollar bill, and
without further words pulled from
his pocket a 32calibre automatic re-
volver and fired four or five shots
into the breast of the officer, produc-
ing instantaneous death.
Bystanders rushed up and found
Officer Patterson still clutching the
money and his revolver securely fas-
tened in it's holster. the barrel point
ing upwards.
Mr. Seigler was arrested by Rural
Policeman Holley, who was one Of
the eyewitnesses, and taken to the
jail.
Mr.. Seigler is one of the prominent
men of the county, being son of the
late Capt A. S. Seigler, and has a
hos: of friends VII deeply regret the
shooting.
Held in Esteem.
Officer Patterson came from Edge
field to Aiken about thirty-five years
ago and has almost continuously
since been a member of the Aiken
police force. He was recognized as
one of the best and most conscientious
officers on the force, and was man
wholly and altogether void of any
fear, being at all times cool and re-
sourceful, and his untimely death has
cast a gloom over the city that he has
guarded so long and we'll during the
dark hours. He leaves wife and five
children.
