something worth while. 1t is expected
that TIE return of the President and
Mrs. Taft from their Panama trip will
be safely accomplished early on the last
day of the year, and that both will be
in good health and spirits to hold this,
their last, official New Year reception
in the White House.
The cabinet families will be partly here
and partly elsewhere for Christmas. quite
as usual. The. Secretary of State and
Mrs. Knox will spend the holiday at Val

law and their infant grandchildren.
The cabinet women expect generally to
receive New Year day, although the fu-
tility of making exact statements SO far
ahead as a week is understood. The pub
lie has little or any part in these home
receptions, and the custom of others than
those who have an official compliment to
bestow in the visit has gradually passed
into diSuse.

Trenton, Dec. 19:-Governor
Wilson this afternoon conferred with
Chancellor Walker and former Su-
preme Court Justice Bennett Van
Syckle ON the question of revision
of the state corporation laws. The
governor will undoubtedly make
some strong recommendation in his
message to the legislature on the
question of trust legislation, and 1t
was for the purpose of preparing
these recommendation that he dis
cussed the matter for more than an
hour.
The governor was also in earnest
conversation with Speaker-elect Tay-
lor. 1t is understood that the ques-
ton of legislation during the session
and the appointment of the assembly
committees were talked over follow
ing the governors broadside to the
bosses Tuesday in which he emphat-

progressives in his party. 1t is un
derstood that the governor told Tay-

the pathway leading to the station,

Elerr err 5ht Morgan exposed the mystic
ries of high finance today in the
money trust investigation without
the slightest hesitation. He told how
the United States Steel Corporation
his master achievement was inspired
and organized. 1t was brought out
how Morgan dictated the personal
of the corporation managers. The
Wall street magnate told in detail
how the shares Of the various COM
panies were arbitrarily allotted and
the omnipotent of his firm in issuing
securities of the New Yo7k Central,
the Ny. N. H. & H. and other rail-
roads. He denied that better results
could be secured from free open COM
petitive marketing of such securities.
He told of naming Judge e. H.
Gary as chairman Of the steel trust
directors and admitted that prices OF
the constituent companies forming
the corporation were fixed by him.
He declared that his achievements In
organizing the steel trust were with
out written contract, mere corre-
spondence being sufficient to do the
work
He sketched how he organized the
Northern Pacific and Southern rail
roads; how billions of dollars worth
of securities, both here and abroad,
were underwritten by the Morgan
firm. Almost extravagant politeness
marked his examination, and the
grizzled f1nancier showed distinctly
the weakening effect of old age.

Chief of Police Patrick J. Burke
completes his twenty-fifth consecu-
tive year of service in the police de-
partment today and thereby becomes
eligible for pension at half pay. He
will not retire, however, for although
he is fifty eight years old, he is one of
the ablest and most active members
Of the force. AS head of the depart
ment he is known as wonderful
worker among police chiefs through
out the country. He has good health
and says he feels fine and hearty.
Just twenty-five years ago today
Mr.. Burke was appointed a member
of Perth Amboy's police force, which
then consisted of a chief and two
patrolmen. He began active service
| the following Christmas night. 1t is
with broad smile that the chief
often tells how he was ready to throw
| his nightstick in the river and give
! up the position on that first night.
Ridicule prevented 1t, however. 1t
was a dreary, dark and stormy night,
bitterly cold and the snow was deep
when the officer went forth on his
first nights patrol. Officer Mulligan,
now a sergeant, was his tutor. Often
| JDe Culel HAS Sldt0u tndI Olly inc
dread of being laughed at prevented
| him from resigning at once.
| Mr.. Burke, however, had been ac-
customed to all sorts of rough work
and had withstood the elements on
many night and day. He was at
one time foreman at the Lehigh
Valley coal wharves, which meant
work in irregular hours and in all
sorts of weather. He stuck to his
| job as patrolman, nightly covering a
'longshore beat which was consider
ably longer in those days than the
'longshore beats are now. With
grim determination the officer kept
at it until he mastered all points
and the parts he dislilled became less
obnoxious. In those days Albert
jackson was chief. About five years
later Chief Jackson became i'll and
died. Mr.. Burke was at once picked
as the most capable man to be acting
chief and as Chief Jackson's body
was lowered iHto the grave he was
made chief.
AS acting chief, Burke had charge
