Thomas M. Elliott, Of Hongkong, an

of Shanghai, China, graduate of Wit
tenburg college, will be the guests of
the local Y M G.. A. at supper this
evening at $50.
These men have been engaged in
Y. NJ c. A. work in China for sew
eral years and expect to return again.
They will have a most interesting
story to tell of that vast empire, its
commerce, educational institutions,
and the enthusiasm with which the
business men and educators welcome
the work of the American Young
Mems Christian Association. The Sec
retaries representing the Y. M. G. A.
in foreign countries are among the
strongest that have been graduated
from our American colleges and many
of them have been sought for high po-
sitions in the educational institutions
of many of the great cities in the Far

Several men to save their positions, it

offices of justices Of the peoce and

An official of the company denied
that measures have been taken to Sc

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Bills to
force drastic changes in stock ex-
changes and clearing house associa-
lions throughout the country will be
introduced in congress in January.
This announcement was made here to-
day by Rep. Pujo of Louisiana, chair
man of the house committee on bank
ing and currency, whose investigation
OF the money trust and it's ramifica-
lions will be resumed on Monday. 81
believe it has been clearly shown that
the stock exchanges and some of the
produce exchanges, as we'll as omst of
the clearing house associations are
conspiracies in restrain of trade" said
Pujo, as such their business should
be fired from the mails and l am sure
the committee will recommend such
action. In listing securities by restric-
lions and by imposed limitations the
clearing houses and exchanges become
vast monopolies. The New York stock
exchange is striking example of this
domination.
If they are not reorganized they will
be treated exactly as the Louisiana
Lottery was treated. l do not believe
federal incorporation of stock ex-
changes will be attempted but federal
supervision will be demanded. Prose
cutions, both civil and criminal, may
result from our investigations. We will
produce the facts and call attention to
the reforms we deem necessary and
urge new laws to cope with the situ-
alton" Among the bills to be intro
duced will be one prohibiting the limi-
tations on the listing of securities on
stock exchanges, prohibition of mem
mers' limitations, and federal supervis-
ion.
