MESSAGE TO BE NOVELTY.
President to Deal Solely With Trus
Problem.

| PF0pI0"s
Washington, Nov. 29.-Presiden'
| Taft's message at the opening of con-
gress next week will be a novelty aside
| from it's brevity. 1t will deal exclusive
ly with the trust problem. There will
| be mere references to other subjects
that are to receive consideration in
messages that will follow. The old
fashioned, regular" message to con-
gress. in fact, has been listed with
| things archaic and is to be superseded
by a series Of special messages, each
| dealing with specific subject, the
first, as stated. being that Oil the reia-
tion Of government to business.
The succeeding state papers will in
| clude:
A special message on conservation
and problems confronting development
| in Alaska.
A special message on the regulation of
| stock and bond issues, transmitting the
report of the stocks and bonds COM
| mission.
A special message on tariff revision.
based on the report of the tariff board
on the wool schedule-later one on the
cotton schedule.
A special message on postoffice af-
! fairs, including the report of the COM
mission on second class rates and the
! parcels post.
A special message on state depart
ment affairs. embracing the question of
ratifying the arbitration treaties with
France and Great Britain.
The cabinet jousted for six hours
yesterday over the trust message. 1t is
known that there was a marked differ-
ence Of opinion over details regarding
the scope Of constructive legislation.
Semi-officially it is explained that this
difference of view was no greater than
naturally would be expected from an
advisory body made up mainly Of law
yers. Unofficially, however, it is un-
derstood that some of the cabinet stood
out strongly for more or radica! modi-
fications Of the Sherman law. But the
view which it is understood prevailed,
with some changes in the original
phraseology, is that Of the president
himself, with emphasis on these two
points:
Enactment ia federal incorpora-
ton law SO as to bring all corporations
doing interstate business under the di-
rect supervision and, to certain ex-
Conscientious enforcement of the
Sherman antitrust law in the light of
it's Interpretation by the supreme
court in the Standard Oil and tobacco
cases.
1t is held by the proponents Of con-
structive corporation legislation that
the enactment of federal fncorpora-
ton law will embrace real construct
iveness in spite of the hope Of some
that supplementary legislation would
take the form Of modifying or other
wise amending the Sherman act itself.
1t now appears that there will be no
effort to force changes in this law so
far as the administration is concerned.
If the information at hand be correct
the presidents view is that any tinker
ing with the Sherman act will be dan
gerous or lead to complications beget-
ting no results in the end. while the
concentration Of effort on the federal
Incorporation proposition will. If sue
cessful, provide ample means for the
organization of great Industrial COM
panies on unquestionably lawful lines.

IlNVlNCIBLE SYKES OF FRANKLIN

HIS UNDoINe-oNLY EARNED RUN IN THE
CONTEST.

Columbia baseball fans were forced
to see the c. M. A. cadets go down
in defeat Monday afternoon on Acade-
my Field at the hands of the mighty
B. G.. A. aggregation. The almost in
vincible Sykes was in the pit and the
locals could not connect with his
benders, reinforced with an abun.
dance Of steam. Sykes had perfect
control and pitched a game that
would do credit to almost any team.
He was given good support at almost
every stage of the game and the Ca
diets were never able to cross the
plate at once. Only three times dur
ing the game did they get a man on
the third sack.
Eblen on the other hand was in
good form, and pitched a winning
game ordinarily, but was given rag
ged support. In the third inning the
visitors were permitted to shove four
across the plate and neither was
earned Only one hit netted the four
runs. Two errors, two wild throws,
two bases on balls, and one little bin
gle did the work.
The mighty batters of the visiting
aggregation only got five hits of Eb-
len, while Sykes yielded only three.
Twice during the game a little hit
would have brought in two runs
which possibly would have won the
game, but the hit was never availa-

HALL RETURNS
FROM DECATUR
HIS ARRIVAL IN NASHVILLE GRE
ATEs FURRY IN PoLITi-
CAL CIRCLES.

NASHVILLE, April 1S.-Quite a
furry was caused in political circles
last night when representative John
F. Hall, one of the runaway members
of the house, put in his appearance
in the hotel lobbies, and appearing
just as much at home as ever, an
nounced that he was still a member
of the Tennessee legislature, Alabama
division, and his place on the Ala
bama list had been assumed by Repre-
sentative Cooper, of White county.
Mr.. Halls presence gave rise to
much speculation and caused the reg
ular" to more strongly proclaim that
the other side was weakening and
that it would all be over by next week
If not by Monday.
The real facts in the case are that
Mr.. Hall was wanted here on account
of his ability on the floor, and also
as he wanted to carry out his duties
as chairman Of the appropriations
committee, it having been alleged that
he had run away with the appropria-
ton bills. Mr.. Hall left the bills In
the hands Of the stenographer and
had finished the miscellaneous appro-
priation bill before his departure.
