Prohibition of Importation of Alb

Much favorable comment on the pure
food boards decision prohibiting the i'm
portation of absnthe into the United

absinthe business" said DR.. Wiley, chair
man of the board, today, have expressed
themselves in favor of the prohibition
The only unfavOrable comment, if it gan
be called such. is that the decision is too
sweeping and beyond the power of the
board. We do not think SO. but that is
for the courts to decide. We are glad the
importers are with in the desire to
keep this country from becoming addicted
to the monstrous absinthe habit which
affiicts France and some other coun-
tries.
The absinthe decision will not become
effective until Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson signs it, although January ! was
the date set in the tentative announce

Mr.. Underwood's Views.

Mr. Underwood of Alabama expressed
his views briefly, but frankly. Il am OPP
posed to a third term in the White House
for any man, no matter how wise, able or
patriotic he may be-" said the majority
leader Il have not read the Slayden
resolution. and therefore am not familiar
with its terms AS a general proposition.
however, l am opposed to the third-term
idea Two terms of four years each is
long enough for any man to spend in the
office of President
AS a general proposition the regular re-
publicans of the House seem favorable to
the Slayden resolution, although chary
of comment upon 1t.
The insurgents express opposition.
Some of them suggested the resolution
was evidence of the fear of democrats
that their chances of success in carry
ing the country next year with their
presidential candidate, whoever he may
be, would go a glinmering with Roose-
welt as the republican standard bearer.
Answering this line of comment, Rep
resentative Garner Of Texas, assistant
majority whip, said yesterday:
Il may as we'll be frank about this
matter l hope the Slayden resolution
will be passed, because l believe it will
aid in the elimination of Col. Roosevelt
as a factor in the present political situa-
tion | want to see him put out OF the
running / believe the democratic
nominee this year will be able to defeat
President Taft. 1 am not certain that
we could beat Col. Roosevelt"

however, to build sunboat of 1900

NEW YORK, February 2.-Representa-

sixth annual banquet of the Real Estate
Exchange Of Long Island, held at the
Hotel Waludorf last night. He took
the opportunity thus offered to tell
an assemblage of representative men from
the congressional district which had
elected him just where he stood in regard
to the democratic party and some of the
policies of the day
The representatives remarks were re-
ceived with considerable enthusiasm, and
when he had finished his speech John w.
Paris, president of the exchange and
POSTMASTER, congratulated the district
upon having for its representative a
man so fearless and of such sterling in
tegrity." Gov. Dix and Public Service
Commissioner J. Sergent Cram were both
on the list of speakers, but both sent
their regrets. {;

Mr. Slayden. in commenting upon his
anti-third term resolution and in express
sion of his intent to propose an amend
ment to the Constitution making a Pres
ident ineligible to reelection after serv-
ing one term, said:
Not to Meet Emergency.
This resolution is not introduced at
this time to meet any particular emer-
gency, but ii is simply the reflection
of views that / have always entertained.
l think that until recently there has
hardly been any doubt that the over
whelming majority of the citizens of this
country are opposed to the election of a
President to third term. The same
question has been brought up in some
form or another quite frequently. and
| the debates in the early Congresses as
published by Gales & Seaton show that
IL was generally thought that the exam
| pies of Washington and Jefferson had
| forever settled the question, but 1t ap-
! peared some thirty-five or forty years
ago that there was considerable num-
| Der of citizens who did not believe that
| the precedents established by the early
Presidents were conclusive.
This resolution is an exact copy OF

AGAIN ASKS CHARTER
House Bill to incorporate

CHANGES MADE IN FORM
Amendments Designed to Meet
Criticisms Directed at Two
Former Measures.

After two unsuccessful efforts, another
attempt was begun yesterday to secure
congressional Incorporation for the enor-
nous fortune of John D. Rockefeller, I'M
der the corporate name of the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation. An amended bill, elimi-
mating many features which caused
storm of protest when offered in the orig
inal form, was introduced in the House
by Representative Peters of Massachu-
sets.
In the present form of this bill Con-
gress is given authority to impose upon
the foundation such limitations as the
public interest may demand. Also the
total amount of property is specifically
limited to $1OO,OO0,OOO.
1t is also provided that the income OF
the corporation shall not be added to the
principal, but shall be annually applied
to the purposes for which the corporation
is created.
Another amendment provides that after
fifty years from the receipt of any prop
erty, the corporation may distribute the
principal as well as the income and that
such distribution shall be made one hum

was received, II Congress should so d.

In speaking of the bill, jerome ID.
Greene. general manager of the Rookie
Teller Institute for Medical Research in
New York, who is here in the interest of
the measure. said:
THE adoption Of these amendments in
Difference to helpful public criticism
seems to have removed all reasonable
opposition to the Incorporation of the
Rockefeller Foundation. No one who has
read carefully the terms of the charter
can fail to see these three manifeStly
controlling motives in the mind of the
founder;
Motives of the Founder.
First, a desire to secure during the
visible future the continuation of the
method of careful philanthropic invest
ment which has characterized Mr.. Rookie
fellers benefactions during his lifetime.
Second. a desire to prevent the dead
hand or, as some one has aptly observed,
a dead legislature from hampering in
the distant future that use of the fund
which would most nearly accord with the
contemporary wisdom of future genera
tions.
THE method of self perpetuation. sub
ject to the veto of an outside body has
had conspicuous examples Of successful
working in America.
1.-The third motive actuatjng the incor-
poration of the Rockefeller Foundation,
and expressed in it's charter. is the desire
to make this munificent gift directly to
the whole American people, and forever
subject to the control of their elected rep
resentatives.'
The first attempt to incorporate the
Rockefeller Foundation was made in the
spring of 1910. At that time the bill was
introduced in the Senate and referred to
committee. but it caused SO much antag-
oniSm that it was not pressed. The bill
was amended and reintroduced in 1911
but was not acted upon.
