The most drastic move yet made TO
break up the Shipping Trust Is en-
bodied in bill Introduced in the
House by Congressman humphrey Of
Washington following q conference
between Mr.. Humphrey and officials
Of the Department Of Justice. The
Humphrey bill, which denies the usc
of any American port to II ship whose
owner has ven adjudgcd guilty in
any United States court of a violation
Of the Sherman law, Is understood to
have the approval Of the Attorney
General.
That the Department of Justice rs
behind the Humphrey measure was in.
diCatcd by the fact that the Humphrey
bill was written on paper bearing the
imprint Of the department.
The Humphrey measure Is entitled
"A Bin to Protect American Trade
and Shipping from Foreign MonupO.

rs follows:
THAT any vessel not of the United
Stntcs. which Is owned, operated or

SAVE THE HICKORY TREES
Timely Advice for Fighting the Per.
nicious Bark Borer

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The pernicious hickory bark borer has
already destroyed thousands OF magnificent
trees in Central and Eastern New York The
inner bark Of many OF the affected trees
contains stout. white grubs, about one
quarter OF an inch long, which will develop
into beetles from the last OF June TO the
last Of July These insects, in the natural
order OF events. will continue their nefari-
Gus work. and numerous other trees VIII
succumb.
1t is extremely important that all infest-
ed hickories, especially those showing only
particles OF brown or white sawGust in the
crevices OF the bark and the characteristic
working OF the insects within, should he
located and the infested bark destroyed be-
fore the end of MAY. Such trees are more
dangerous TO the welfare of adjacent living
hickories than others, which may be fair
ly peppered with the numerous exit holes,
appearing as though they had been made
with No. S buckshot The borlngs OF this
pest IN the inner bark are very character
istc. there being longitudinal galleries
10 IL inches long about one-eighth OF an
inch in diameter. and with numerous fine.
transverse galleries arising theretrem and
gradually spreading out somewhat fan
shaped.
There rs only one thing 10 do I'm the
case OF a serious infection. such as that IN
dIcated by dying trees or branches. All
badly infested trees or portions Of trees
should bs cut and the bark at least burned

RnRRING THE BABIES.

Governor Dix will have one thirty day
hill sent 70 him over which he should
not waste five minutes consideration.
That is the amendment to the agricult-
ural law forced through the Senate by
Tammany which would make 1t impos-
sible TO convict any milk dealer for sell
ing milk Of less than standard richness
The agricultural law establishes GER
tain standards for milk. But If thls
amendment should become law II would
be necessary for any milk dealer only
to prove that the milk he was selling
was as good as the average output or
the COW or dairy from which the milk
came-that is. that ii had not been
Watered or adulterated in other fashion
and be would escape punishment, re-
gardless of the fact that his milk was
not up to standard The result would
be the immediate marketing in this city
Of milk below standard in ever growing
Quantity. and the burden would fall on
the poor. who cannot pay fancy prices
for guaranteed milk specially bottled at
dairies conducted like laboratories. The
babies of the poor would have to take
milk without the proper nouriShing
ouality-tho tenement babies, whose
struggles for life in a city summer surely

some farmers would he able to sell low
grade milk at q slightly higher price

makers. Doubtless some dealers in this
city could squeeze a little extra proht

so near they'd rob q baby

should sign this bill. would be Just about

To tho Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. M. c. J." in The Tribune Of yes
terday seems TO take issue with Mr.. Roose-
Welt because Roosevelt in 1910 disregarded
the traditions Of small politics IN his party
and because he repudiated a friend, Presi-
dent Taft For those reasons do ! support
Mr. Roosevelt and hope for the success Of
his campaign.
This government is not for the people, or
by the people: so will most men admit.
Facts brought 10 Hight in the courts
throughout the country during the last ten
years prove that the dishonest workings Of
bosses and officeholderS in every depart
ment Of government. through pilfering,
cheating and selling their voted powers,
have defeated the will of the people The
Roosevelt campaign on moral issues IS wei
coined for that reason, and we hope for
another political awakening such as he In
splred years ago. We must have honest
government or We disntegrate.
Mr. Roosevelt IS accused Of betrayins a
friend. Rather should President Taft be
accused OF deceiving Mr.. Roosevelt and be-
traying his country. President Taft during
his first campaign promised to support the
Rooseveltian ideals and was elected there
for lie then Immediately placed his ad-
minlstration IN the hands OF Roosevelt's
avowed enemies whom | count 10 be the
enemies OF honest men and government,
and played the low politics which they
practise. II is indeed time to repudiate
them. q. J.. ).

ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS
Bill Requiring Safety Devices Opposed
BY Selfish Interests, Says Writer.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: As much Is being said upon accident
prevention and life conservation, 1t might
be Of interest to know that measures rec
commended for safeguarding human lives
always meet with opposition by certain
selfish interests. whose feverish chase after
dollars has pushed consideration for the
sanctity Of human life to the rear. This
has been amply verified at hearings before
our State LEGISLATURE on the bill to prevent
the transfer Of patients precarlously Ill and
in danger OF death from one hospital to an
other, and the Sullivan bill regulating the
sale and carrying OF dangerous weapons.
The record Of the Coroners' Office shows
that 265 human lives were sacrificed in ele-
vator accidents in five years in the Borough
of Manhattan, and the evidence adduced in
the majority OF cases reveals that, had the
elevators been equipped with proper safety
devices. many Of these lives might have
been saved.
Coroners' juries having recommended the
passage Of law for the proper safeguard
ing Of human life on elevators, the Board
OF Coroners sent draft Of bill to Senator
Sullivan TO compel the equipment Of all
passenger elevators with devices which
prevent the car from moving when the
door is open, thus averting injury to pas
sengers entering or leaving the elevator,
the most frequent period of accident, also
requiring the installation of an air cushion
chamber at the foot OF every passenger
elevator well to avert fatalities when the
car falls, as many have done, with fatal
results In this city, This would also be a
great protection in case Of fire, according
to experts who have made a study Of fire
prevention.
This bill enacts for New York the same
regulations Of passenger elevator operation
that are in force in Pennsylvania and sev
eral other states. Statistics compiled In
the city of Philadelphia show a marked de
crease IN elevator fatalities since its enact
ment There are many buildings in New
York City where the elevators are equipped
with this device and they have no record
Of accidents.
The Museum of Safety and other civic
associations have also favored this legisIa-
ton, but it is being opposed by certain
selfish interests who hold dollars above
human life The question is. Shall their
interests be considered or the safeguarding
Of human lives?

3 rH1T ETTRA SESSION.

Undoubtedly Governor Dix is feeling
sad and sore over the cavalier treatment
accorded TO his recommendations by the
late unamented Legislature. Undoubt-
edly different action by the Legislature on
some Of these matters would have served
the public interest better, But where
can the Governor find assurance, or even
much hope, that the same Legislature,
recalled 70 the Capitol in extraordinary
session, would reverse itself
The Governor is thinking Of recalling
the Legislature to deal with direct pri-
maries, election law reform. conservation
and the Wingdale prison. But, what
issue has hef If he had not truckled 10
Tammany Hall last year there would
have been real direct primary law on
the statute books and the Levy law
would not be there-even such part Of it
as the Court Of Appeals left. Under the
circumstances, does the Governor think
he would be justified in summoning the
Legislature again TO try 10 undo what
he was instrumental in doing? The Leg
lSIdluIt, DN SptS4dI 4CSO4uti'L' -'''"
granted authority and appropriated
money for a committee TO investigate the
subject of government ownership, devel-
opment and sale Of power from water.
This must be assumed to be the Legis-
lature's honest judgment - however
others may disagree with it-as to the
best way 10 handle the problems of water
conservation in this sta'e. Does the Gov
ernor expect the Legislature, in eXtraor-
binary session, to reverse itself? OF
course, Mr.. DIX could stir up a merry
controversy with Speaker Merritt over
the propriety Of q legislators using al
his powers TO Kill legislation the passage
Of which would cut off profits under a
sub-contract held by his company with
a contractor for the state But 1t IS
hard to see how this would advance,
practically. the Governors plan TO aban-
don Wingdale, for Mr. Merritt still would
be Speaker. with al the Speakers
powers.
Undoubtedly Governor Dix is sad and
sore. But the balmy breezes Of the
tropics, whittier Tho Governor intended
to betake himself, are soothing and
bring calm, if not content. He may
well take his trip and save the public
the burden and expense Of a useless, re-
sultless extra session Of the Legislature.

PARLIAMENT AND SUFFRAGETTES.

{
The rejection Of the woman suffrage
bill by the House Of Commons is an in
cident Of wide interest in view Of the
sensational manner in which the suffra
gette campaign has been w3ged in Lon
don and in view. also, Of the activity Of
the corresponding campaign here. It
will be variously regarded BY some with
surprise at the defeat Of the bill and by
others with equal surprise at its not
| having been defeated far more deci-
sively On the whole, the result is sig
nifcant of the strength of the suffrage
movement and it is probable that the
agitators generally viii hold it 10 be en-.
couraging.
The bill was defeated by margin Of
only fourteen in q total Of 430 votes, POS
members Of the House Of Commons vot-
ing TO grant the franchise 10 women
possessed Of the household qualification,
and doing so seriously, with a realization
that their votes might prevail. On some
former occasions divisions on this ques-
tion have been made il frivolous or
jocose manner, many members voting for
woman suffrage just for the fun Of the
thing, as they regarded it, knowing that
the bill was being merely referred 10
committee from whose hands 1t would
never emerge In this case there was no
such feeling, but every vote was cast
seriously. with an actual desire to have
it prevail.
The proposal was defeated only by the
detection Of the Irish members, Of whom
forty-seven voted against the bill, while
the rest did not vote at all. Had those
forty-seven Irishmen stood true TO their
alliance with the Liberals the bin would
have been adopted by d majority Of
eighty Moreover, it is generally believed
that the Irish voted as they did not so
much from hostility TO woman suffrage
as for tactical reasons Of party politics.
Ii is not improbable that some Of them
are in favor Of woman suffrage and
would vote for It if the issue were not
complicated with other considerations.
The bill which thus came so near TO
passing did not provide for universal
woman suffrage, but merely for the en-
franchisement Of women taxpayers;
perhaps one-seventh or one-sixth Of the
whole number Of adult women. On
proposal for universal woman suffrage
the result would have been very differ
ent. But what would be the logical Sc
quence Of the granting Of this limited
franchise? Obviously, greatly strength
ened demand either that men who were
not taxpayers should be disfranchised,
or, since that would be impossible, that
the ballot should be extended TO women
who were not taxpayers. That demand
would be further fortified by force Of
the votes and Parliamentary representa-
uyes Of the million women taIpayerS-

CHINHS HOPES AND FEARS

The ceremonies Of Friday at Nanking
were full of hope for the Chinese Re
public. They marked, indeed, the prac-
teal beginning Of the permanent govern
ment Of that republic, as distinguished
from the merely provisional organiza-
tion. For DR.. Sun, the revolutionary
President, handed TO the Prime Minister,
Mr.. Tang, the seals Of Office which he
had thus far held, to be transferred TO
the constitutional President, Mr.. Yuan.
This marked the complete rellnquish-
ment of all claims by the revolutionists
and their full acceptance Of the govern
ment which was designated by the abdi-
eating Manchu dynasty as its successor.
Then the entire Cabinet of President
Yuan was announced. with Mr.. Tang as
Prime Minister, and the general policy of
the government was officially proclaimed.
This incident was an omen Of good for
the republic, because ii marked con-
crete starting point from which that gov
ernment may proceed in the winning of
popular favor and the development Of
strength. There is no
concealing the fact that disorder and dis
have been increasing in China
for some time and have been dangerously
the character of definite
revolutionary movement perhaps aiming
at the restoration OF the imperial
dynasty. This has been largely because
OF the delay in the complete establish
ment and aggressive self-assertion Of the
republican government. People have
doubted its efficiency. They have doubted
whether the revolutionaries at Marking
would really support 1t, and have looked
for rivalry and conflict between DR.. Sun
and Mr.. Yuan. But last weeks work
ends all that. The republic is now or
ganized, and DR.. Sun has declared his
