BUSINESS COURT S
URGED BY PERKINS
OUTLINES PLAN OF RELIEF AT
GATHERING OF NEW YORK
TRAFFIC CLUB.
AID FOR THE CORPORATIONS
Regulate Big interests, But Do Not
straneulate-says Business
Men Have Made
Mistakes.

New York City.-Somebody in this
country is making a colossal mis-
take. What W need is more patriot
ism and less politics"
George W. Perkins so complained
of the federal governments attitude
toward corporations in an address de-
livered before the Traffic Club, and
organization of railroad men and mer-
chants.
There is no logical connection"
said Perkins, between the evils that
have existed in our large industrial
concerns and the remedies that the
government is trying to apply. In
place of regulation, we are given seq
regation, and we are told that dis
solution is the solution; while every
practical man knows that dissolution
is a mere delusion. Government reg
ulation is all right; but government
repression is all wrong.
Somebody in this country is max
Ing a colossal mistake. Somebody is
woefully wrong. Is it the theoretical
politicians or the practical business
man? Would it be a mistake, at least,
to try to regulate before we strangu-
late?
at is time that the business men
of this country awoke to what the
theorists of this country are trying
to do. Business men have made mis-
takes; they realize and admit them;
but those mistakes, in their costliness
to the people, will be as a drop in the
bucket in comparison with the costli-
ness of the mistakes that our theo-
retical friends have been making in
recent years and are continuing to
make.
He suggests the following as re-
lief:
Il. Create at once, in or out of the
department Of commerce and labor, a
business court or controlling commits
sion composed largely of experienced
business men.
20. Give this body power to license
corporations doing an interstate or in
t~rastate business.
"3. Make such license depend on
the ability of a corporation to com.
ply with conditions laid down by con-
gress when creating such commits
sion, and with such regulations as
may be prescribed by the commission
Itself.
a. Make publicity, both before and
after license is issued, the essential
feature of these rules and regulations.
Require each company to secure the
approval of said commission of all its
affairs, from its capitalization to its
business practices. In the beginning
Iay down only broad principles, with
4 view to celebrating and p~erfecting
them as conditions require.
80. Make the violation of such rules

WALSH WILL IS REJECTED
SURVIVING WITNESS TO Docu-
MENT DOUBTS SANITY.
Son Who Was Disinhcrited Now Will
Receive Share of 100000 Estate
Widow to Be Executor.

chicago, Ill.-The will of John R.
walsh, the banker, who died with.
IN a week after his release on parole
from Leavenworth pe~nitentiary this
winter, was refused probate by Judge
cutting here on the ground that the
witness to the document refused to
say that the testator was of sound
mind when the will was signed. The
widow now will be made executrix.
and John R. Walsh, Jr., who was cut
on by his father, will receive a share
OF the estate, which is valued at
$500 600. The will left the entire es-
tate to the widow.
Wce-President Abbott of the Fed
eral Trust company, who was a close
personal friend of Walsh and the only
surviving witness to his will, de-
clared in court that he did not be.
lleve Walsh of sound mind when the
will was drawn, three moths before
he was sent to the federal prison.
Abbott based this statement on
what he declared were Walsh's pecu-
liar actions in charging that his son
was not doing right toward him.
Judge Cutting ruled that, since the
law requires the witnesses to a will
to answer in the affirmative when
asked as to the mental soundness OF
the testator, this will could not be
.probated.
Letters Of administration, it was
announced, would be taken out at
once by Mrs. Walsh. the widow. I'm
der the law, she will receive a third
Of the estate and the remainder will
be equally divided among the three
children of the former banker.
