w. L. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition Large concerns can pro
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method of the present ma.
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller. which is backward
step. There should be no limit to
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business. such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
/ favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts. in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but WHO receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law it Is
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by public ac-
countant. There should be board
of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex.
anime the records OF all the direc-
torates of these companies.

GAVE NURSE HALF MILLION
Rochester Loses Library Because
Rich Man Appreciated Her Care

Rochester, n. Y, Dee. l4.-Resi-
dents of this city who thought they
were going to obtain a splendid new
library from the estate of the late
Morton w. Rundel we're disappointed
today when, after a search for assets
of the estate, Surrogate Selden 5.
Brown reported he could find none.
Mr. Rondel was reputed to be veal
thy man and under the terms OF his
will his "residuary estate" was to go
to the city for the erection OF
memorial library and art gallery.
The discovery that there was prac-
tically no "residuary estate was coin
cidental with the statement by Eliza
beth A. Holmes, trained nurse, that
Mr. Runde had given her S50O,OOO III
securities because of her kind treat
ment and nursing subsequent to the
making of the will. Mrs. Holmes APP
peared before Surrogate Brown to ex-
plain how she came by her wealth,
while the city, as residuary legatee,
was represented by an assistant TO
the Corporation Counsel
Mrs. Holmes testified that she
was called in to nurse Mr.. Rundel on
Aug. 10 last year, fifteen months be-
fore his death. She stated that soon
after she took charge Of his case he
presented to her 7S4 shares OF com
mon stock OF the Eastman KODAK
Company, besides % shares OF the
New York and Kentucky Trust Com
pany. and 24S shares of the Fruit
Products Company. He gave her al
so, she said, bill of sale OF all his
personal effects.
When checks written against an
open account of Mr. Rundel were
shown to Mrs. Holmes she stated
without the least hesitation that
while they were signed by Mr.. Run
del they were drawn for her benefit
and she received a large portion OF
the cash represented by them. The
dividends on the stocks in the pos
session of Mrs Holmes has amount
ed to $4,000 since April, 1911, but
none of this dividend money has been
found
How many shares of stock did he
give you altogether" Mrs. Holmes
was asked.
II can't remember" she replied.
Il am a very careless bookkeeper. !
never take notes of what ] get. And
| never suspected 1t would be neces-
sary for me to remember"
Many questions were asked tend
ing to show that undue influence
had been used. 1t was developed that
Mr.. Rundel was a Spiritualist but
Mrs. Holmes denied ever holding
seances or being present at any al
which Rundel was present Before
becoming a professional nurse she
said that she had given electric mas
sage treatments, and that she gave
Mr.. Rundel electric treatments fol
fifteen years before becoming his
nurse during his last Illness.

Three Thousand Acres Must be Clear
ed For Keokuk Dam.

Keokuk, Dec. According to
developments that recently transpir-

in the world in the Mississippi river

trees. The war department compels
the water power company to remove
all the trees and brush from over
howed ground, as otherwise the
trees would die and finally float
down and become lodged to start

A COMING ATTRACTION.
1.-THE Country Boy" Great Produc-
ton Coming to the Grand
Soon.

In the presentation of 1.-The Coun-
try Boy" at the Grand in the near
future, the theatre goers OF DEBORAH
are promised one of the biggest
comedy successes of the year. The
piece is a four act comedy by Edgar
Selwyn, and will be presented here
by the same excellent company that
scored so heavily in the five months
engagement ct the Liberty Theatre,
New York, and two months at Pow
ers' Theatre, Chicago. The comedy
belongs to the sane clean and whole
some class OF American plays of
which 1.-THE Fortune Hunter" 1.-THE
Man From Home" and Get Rich
Quick Wallingford' are examples.
The story of the ay concerns an
ingenious youth from the country
who seeks the activity an1 hustle OF
big city in preference to the quiet
life of his home town. 1t is story
that is known to hundreds upon
hundreds of theatre goers, many OF
whom have suffered the heartaches
and won reward just as Tom Wilson,
the country youth, does. The play
owes its enormous success, the same
as all enduring plays do, to the nat
ural and human appeal of its story.
Rut nerhans the most ENJOYABLE feat
ure of the piece, lies not so much
in its story, as in its remarkable
character drawing, while the clever
ness of the boarding house scene is
calculated to prove more enjoyable
than any scene that has been staged
