MINORITY MAKES ITS REPORT
Conclusion of Republican Members of
Stanley Steel Committee Is Given
Out-Opinions Differ.

Washington, July 3O.-The federal
Incorporation of all concerns engaged
in Interstate commerce whose capital
ization of value exceeds $4,000, 900,
is the keynote recommendation Of the
minority members of the Stanley steel
investigation committee. The report
of the Republican members of the
Investigating committee was made
public Sunday.
The full report is signed only by
Representatives Gardner and Dan
forth. The remaining Republican
members, representatives Sterling and
Young of Michigan file individual dis
sents on the exact character of rem
edial legislation needed
Messrs. Sterling and Young agree
with their Republican colleagues that
federal incorporation is a remedy for
present industrial evils, but they de-
cline to go so far as to recommend
the federal regulation of prices, which
Gardner and Danforth advocate in the
event the situation cannot otherwise
be met.

o. K. THE TAFT NOMINATION
Reply to Charges That President
"Stole the Nomination at chica-
90" Is Made Public.

Washington, July 30.-The long ex-
pected and carefully prepared answer
of the Taft faction to the reiterated
charges that the president stole the
nomination at Chicago" was issued
from the White House Sunday. It is
the longest and probably the most
complete political statement ever put
out from the executive mansion.
"An examination of the facts" con-
cludes the statement, shows that the
tribunals were right in every instance.
There is not the slightest evidence
that they were moved by other than
mere desire to reach right conclu-
sion. On the other hand, the action
of the Roosevelt men in bringing 100
contests that they promptly aban-
doned strongly tended to show the
lack of good faith in the prosecution
of all Of them. Those who support
President Taft can we'll afford to
stand on the record In these cases"

Emperor's Death Is Sadly Mourned by
His Subiects-country Has Pros
pered Under His Reign-Crown
Prince Yoshihito Ascends Throne.

Tokyo, Japan, July 31.-Tuesday at
rsx43 a. m. Mutsuhito, emperor Of
Japan, died. Acute nephritis was
given as the cause of death. The
crown prince, Yoshihito, has succeed
cd TO the throne The crowds outside
the palace continued to increase all
through the night and numbered at
least 10000 persons at the hour of the
mikado's death.
The emperor had been unconscious
since dawn Monday morning. From
that hour his respiration had become
continually more feeble. He passed
away in the presence of the members
of the imperial family and the minis
tiers of state.
He remained at the palace in consulta-
ton with the ministers Of state, ar
ranging for the imperial funeral and
for the conduct of state affairs. The
edict announcing Yoshihitos success
sion to the throne will be published as
soon as possible.
All the imperial princes, who had
been within the vicinity Of the emper-
or's palace since the beginning of the
serious period of his illness July 10,
were summoned to the sick chamber
Monday evening and remained there
until death came.
Mutsuhito, emperor of Japan, pos
sessed a personality of which little is
generally known. OF a quiet, unas-
Stunning nature, yet possessed of a
will of iron, he accomplished great re-
forms. AS a statesman he command
ed the respect of the nations of the
world. AS a leader of his people in
peace and war he was both loved and
feared. To his virtues they attributed
the victories over their enemies by
land and sea. To his wisdom they
credited the advance of ancient Japan
to a place in the front rank of ma
tons. His reign began in 1867 and
outlasted that of all except two or
three living monarchs.
Washington, July 31.-The president
sent the following telegram to the
new Japanese emperor:
ION the sad occasion of the death
of his majesty, the Emperor Mutsu-
hito, your illustrious father, | offer
to your majesty my most profound
sympathy and that of the government
and people of the United States.
Accept my good wishes for long
and prosperous reign and the continu-
ance of the welfare of the Japanese
empire. WILLIAM H. TAFT"

Gated by Senator Bristow.

sives lined up. It would cut the pres
ent sugar duty of $1.90 to $3.50; would
abolish the Dutch standard, under
