CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 5.-If
Harvard students failed to make any gen.
eral demonstration here Immediately fol-
lowing the foot ball victory over Yale
they have been cutting up in a very
general way since to make up, according
to the reports of the faculty. The cut
ting up has consisted of carving the 20
to score Of the Harvard-Yale game on
benches, desks and window stills of Har-
Yards classic halls until the Crimson vic
tory stares at one from all quarters.
Sever Hall. with it's thirty-five lecture
and recitation rooms. is said to have
hardly a bench or desk which does not
display a 20 to carved in the wood.
Theodore ROosevelts initials are sur
rounded with the legend 900 and one
more gifted in sculptural work than the
others has left benediction God bless
Brickley.'
Stone window sills and even mantels of
marble are said to bear the inscriptions Of
victory and some very clever carving 10

MAY BAR STOCKHOLDERS
District Commissioners Would
Prevent Them From Serving
on Utility Boards.

Stockholders hereafter will be barred
public service corporations in the District
of Columbia if Congress enacts a public
utilities commission measure in accord
ance with recommendations made to 1t
today by the District Commissioners.
AS the result of publicity given the
affairs of the Washington Utilities Com
pany, the mammoth corporation whose
object is alleged to be the absorption OF
public utilities in the District of Column
bia, Maryland and Virginia, the Commits
sioners have been considering amend
mentS to the several public utilities COM
mission bills introduced in Congress with
the view of bringing about enactment OF
a law that will be satisfactory in every
respect.
In a communication sent to Chairman
Ben Johnson of the House District COM
mittee today they not only urge a law
that will prevent stockholders from act
ing as directors of public utilities. but
one that will eliminate foreign holding
companies from acquiring local concerns.
Law to Provide Penalty.
by the Commissioners to prevent d.
rectors from engaging in a stockbroker-
age business that any director of a cor
pOTdtlOu Violating TIE PROVISION SHdll US
deemed guilty of a felony and, upon
conviction, shall be punished by fine Of
not less than $500. or Imprisonment for
a term of not less than one year, or by
both.
One of the provisions recommended in
relation to foreign corporations is with
respect to the issue Of securities by such
corporations. This provides that 'if a
foreign corporation which owns or con-
trolls a majority of the capital stock of a
domestic street railway company issues
stocks, bonds or other evidences of in
debtedness, based upon or secured by the
property, franchise or stock of such
domestic company, unless such issue is
authorized by the law of this common
wealth, the supreme judicial court shall
have jurisdiction in equity in its discre-
ton to dissolve such domestic company.
Three other sections relating to foreign
corporations are recommended by the
Commissioners. These set forth that it
shall be unlawful for any corporation
by any means, to hold. control or vote
any stock of any public utility corpora
ton without the consent of the commits
sion that the commission shall have
jurisdiction over the acquiring of interest
in a public utility by foreign corpora
ton and that if a foreign corporation,
without the consent of the commission.
acquires interest in public utility, the
Supreme Court Of the District shall have
jurisdiction to dissolve the utility or
forfeit its charter.

ABSENCE Is HINDRANCE
Many Army Officers Not at Present
With Their Commands.

The absence OF SO many officers from
their organizations. says Gen. Fred
Smith, commanding the department of
the Missouri. in a report to the War DE-
partment, continues to be a serious hin
drance to the highest efficiency and mr.
paredness OF the army for field servic.
under war conditions.
He adds that the troops I'm that mill
tary department for several months
past have been held in readiness for ac.
tive field service. when duly summoned
and would have been found well mr.
pared in every respect for that dur.
That remark is said to refer to the nos.
sible use or the troops in the Mexican
revolution.

TO TAKE UP CABINET CRISIS
Elder Statesmen of Japan Meet To.
morrow

TOXIC. Japan. December 1.-The elder
statesmen of japan meet in council to-
morrow at the imperial palace to con-
slider the cabinet crisis and to recommend
a successor To Premier Saionji
IT is generally thought that as a result
of the council Lieut. Gen. Count Terau-
chi. governor general of Korea, will be
ordered to form cabinet. In Well in
formed quarters. however. his accept
ance of the premiership Is doubted.
In view of the difficulty Of the situation
brought about by the resignation Of Lieut..
Gen. Uyehera. minister Of war, it is
believed that whoever may undertake to
form the new cabinet will require two
weeks to complete his task
In some quarters II Is thought that the
difficulty of organizing the new cabinet
may necessitate the temperance in the
government OF Prince TarO Katsura.

Representative Stephen NJ. Sparkman
of Florida. chairman of the rivers and
harbors committee of the House, took
issue with President Tafts statement
made yesterday that much Of the money
spent in this country for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, so far as
navigation is concerned. was in the ma
ture of pretense. and that the money
ought to be spent not under the COM
merce laws. but under the welfare clause
of the Constitution. which gives the gov
eminent the power to carry out such
projects.
The President said yesterday he would
be in favor Of spending SjO.O0O.OOO on the
Mississippi for the protection of life and
property of the people from ST. Louis to
New Orleans.
1t was Representative Sparkmans judg-
ment. he told the delegates. that money
for rivers and harbors had much better
be spent under the commerce laws in the
future as in the past. for the purpose of
improving navigation, and that he would
oppose the Presidents plan to spend
$50 OOO. 600 on the Mississippi under the
welfare clause in the Constitution.

MORLEY.

persons, including royalty, statesmen
and men of letters, paused today in
the hurry-scurry Of their Christmas
preparations to send a few words OF
greeting to Lord Morley congratulate
Ing him upon the beginning of his
seventy-fifth year. For many years
the Right Hon. John Morley was
looked upon as the successor of his
old friend, Gladstone, as England's
most distinguished plain citizen. And
since his elevation to the peerage,
five years ago, Lord Morley has lost
none of the pubic esteem. In his day
he held many high Offices under Lib.
eral administrations, and never failed
M command the highest respect even
from his most bitter political oppon.
ents. Since his retirement from the
Office of secretary of state for India,
two years ago, Lord Morley has de-
