tho recommendation for federal incor-
poration OF all concerns engaged In inter
state commerce with a capital or value
Of $50. OoO. 900 OF more. and attendant pub
ncty OF all acts OF corporations existing
under a federal charter.
An an instrument 10 bring about this
federal Incorporation and publicity the
minority recommends the creation OF an
interstate commission OF industry, eXer-
clslng supervision over Industrial in
corporations much similar 70 that now
exercised over railroads by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
II federal incorporation and publicity
do not remedy the trust evil tho minority
recommends that tho proposed Interstate
commission OF industry shall be given
carefully guarded power 90 decree maxi
mum prices when necessary
The minority members agree With their
Democratic colleagues that industrial cor
porations should not own common car
riers: that the burden OF proof IN suits
brought under the sherman law should
rest upon the defendant corporation

states should have the right to intervene
in such suits.

dispatches TO The Tribune on July %.

Criticism Of Majority Report.

The Republicans take up the majority
report and criticise it in detail. In dis
putting the findings OF fact the minority
report says:
BY singing out unusual incidents and
unusual evidence, selecting unusual years
unusual prices and unusual practices as
standard OF comparison, the majority has
created an overdrawn picture portraying
diabolical ingenuity and sinister malevo-
lence as the characteristics Of the United
States Steel Corporation officials
The report Of Herbert Knox Smith.
Commissioner Of Corporations IS indorsed
by the minority for the most part. They
agree with him that. of the 81, ho'0o,WC
OF capital OF the steel Corporation In
April. 1901, s6U,0o.0oO or fNo,Wo.m was
water.
The system OF lnterlockins dlrectorates
has insidious Disadvantages which no
man can gauge" says the report I'VE
doubt the wisdom Of their absolute pro-
hib!tlon. unless regulation shall fail to
abats their evil"
The report devotes the following para
graph to the labor situation IN steel trust
plants:
The labor situation in certain manu-
featuring departments OF the steel IN
dustry has always been bad. and TO-DAY
is bad. As o rule, In the plants or tne
corporation conditions are better than IN
the plants OF the independents.
Mr.. Gardner and his colleagues re-
frain from injecting a political dispute
into the report and passed over the mers-
er OF the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany with the United states Steel Cor
poration by saying that IL has no bear
ing on the subject

SAVIN ROCK
 IS FLOODED
Water Washes Over Grove and
 Inundates White City at High Iide-WOrSt Storm in Years

New Haven, Feb. 22-One of the se- verest rain storms in years swept down upon this city yesterday afs CT noon bringing wreck and havoc in it's wake, especially along the shore front at Savin Rock, where the brunt of the wind and accompanying high tide was felt In the city, trolley tracks were flooded, Washouts were common and the streets were turned into min iature lakes. The capacity of the trol ey com pany was taxed to it's limit adjustment of car schedules, which were much interfered with by the wa ter covering the tracks.
 At Savin Rock conditions were erty on the shore front watched all n ght lest it should be carried out to sea- The huge pier at Wilcox's was threatened Ii ore than once when mag nitudinous waves dashed up against it's sides, tossing its foundations un il it swayed like a leaf. At Stanford's the diving floats were blown out to sea. Boats which had been anchored by the force of the waves and wind At midnight, the time of high tide, the water had mounted to the side walk on Beach street, bringing in its trail debris Of every description.
 The greatest storm damage was done in the White City, where fifteen in- ches of water covered the car tracks. Cars were stalled there at times all evening, ana IL 1OOkSd IOT d l4Il6 as if the patrons of the Airdorne would not be abe to get out Of the place at all. At the White City station just outside the grove lake of wa ter stalled man ana vehicle, so that it became necessary to erect a bridge from the pavement to the car. The land there is considerably lower thai in the grove, and the water settled into a pond. While the grove was more or less flooded no serious dam age was done there, and there is no danger that any one of the stands or shops have been undermined, al- though one almost needed a boat to get around last night. The cars tried to go around the Savin Rock loop but were blocked by the floods of water, and there they halted until the troll ley crews cleared the water away. In some eases it was like draining the ocean w tn a dipper for as soon as a pathway was made for one car, the floods rolled in again, covering the
