Washington. The Railroad Securi-
ties Commission. headed by President
Arthur +, Hadley OF Yale, has report.
ed that II would be practically impos-
sible at this time TO place issues OF
railroad securities under federal con-
troll.
The commission recommends that
enforced publicity for all railroad fl
nancing is the most effective weapon
against stock watering which the gov
eminent has ut Its command.
The commissions report IL distinct
ly adverse to the legislation proposed
In the railroad bill
President Taft. in transmitting the
heartily concurred In the recommended
lions. ..
The commission does not approve of
any unqualified proposition TO prohibit
ownership OF stock Of one road by an
other.
It recommends that whenever .
group Of men or companies has bought
q majority OF stock In a road. they
may be required to buy the minority
at the same price.
The commission was created In 1910.
when the Senate refused to accept .
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 II ~
~ lnyaAi0a. - 4otA4nA. -siahln. * Rrasa-
dent Taft at the time told Republican
leaders the party Wa committed to
such q measure. but when II appeared
impossible to pass II. the President
agreed to have the clause eliminated.
with the understanding that q COM
mission to study the subject would be
allowed. This was done and the com
mission began work In the autumn Of
1910 Public hearin0 we're held and
Chairman Hadley studied the prob
lem abroad.
The commissions principal conclu-
sions 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
harmonic existing requirements.
That Congress should prepare for
the future by giving consideration to
q 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 an.
thority are unsettled and win remain
so for some time: and that while such
q condition exists. to superimp0se fed
erai regulation upon state regulation
would add TO the conflicts and complex
tiles, which In the public interest.
should rather be diminished than In
creased

NEW YORK STOCKS WERE ERRATlC.

NEW YORK, May Cit was the same
old Saturday; the same old narrow
movement, and the same evening-'ip
process in the last hour. The net
changes for the session, SO far as the
leading securities were concerned were
not at all important. but some of the
minor stocks showed net gains in con-
tradistinction to small net losses here
and there. The bears were rather busy
in the opening hour and put on suffici-
ent prfS,sure to, break the leaders q to2
of point There was nothing in the
news of the day favorable or especially
unfavorable. The two hours business
was purely scalping and on the specu-
lative order.
The business situation shows little
improvement, and the political uncer-
tainties add to the restrictive movement,
while prices for commodities are ap-
parently working to a lower range. The
report of the American Railroads As
sociation shows an increase of 2,305 cars
in the number of idle cars during the last
two weeks. Coal cars decreased S,605.

In all probability the question of

Two games were forfeited yesterday.
one on the White Lot in the Bankers

and Twining being the offenders,
Twining presented a weak team in
the first game. and has by reason of
the forfeit yesterday relinquished its
franchise. Ii is understood that Pres

teams TO take up the franchise.

Just what the amateur commission
will do in regard TO the board of ar

to the president. 1t is thought that
the commission will return to the old

This has met with success in the past,
and since the four proposed members

than likely. The meeting tonight will
