FOR CONTROL OF
CORPORATIONS
Senate Committee Considers
Legislation Is Both Neces-
sary and Desirable.
BEGINS WORK ON LAW

The Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee yesterday began work in earnest
in framing further legislation for the con-
troll and regulation Of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce. 1t has
been definitely decided by the committee
to leave the Sherman law undisturbed.
but TO submit to the Senate a bill en-
bodying features for trust regulation sup
Elemental Of the present law.
While the committee has rejected the
Perkins and Gary suggestions OF a price
fixing commission, It is believed probable
that the bill to be framed win provide
for an Interstate trade commission. with
powers over corporations engaged in In
terstate commerce similar to the powers
now enjoyed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission over transportation COM
panies engaged in interstate commerce.
At least two Of the bills pending before
the committee embody this idea
They are the Cummins and Newlands
measures. The former not only provides
for an interstate trade commission, but
contains provisions reciting conditions
and limitations upon businesses that come
within its scope. The latteg provides
simply for a trade commission. with au-
thority to initiate Investigations and de-
termine whether given corporations are
being conducted in accordance with Fed
eral statutes for the irregulation.
Regard Control as Necessary.
The action OF the committee in def
nitely deciding that further legislation
for the control Of corporations engaged
in interstate commerce Is necessary and
desirable" is regarded as the first i'm
portant step. and considerable interest
attaches to the fact that the committee
reached this agreement with little or
no division. The vote In the committee
on this proposition was unanimous,
though several Senators refrained from
voting. The Senators who have favored
additional legislation all along feel. how
ever. that a great deal has been accom-
plished in getting positive committai on
this question. They feel assured that the
question will now receive attention In
Congress.

DEFENDS ADMINISTRATION.
War Secretary Tells Republican
Club Taft Has Lived by Pledges.

The administration Of President Taft
was upheld last night by Secretary Of
War Stlmson. In an address before the
National Republican Club. In the club
rooms, 1871 Pennsylvania avenue north
west. t
The Secretary OF War said that Presi-
dent Taft has quietly but efficiently and
with absolute courage supported many
great propositions for which the people
Of the country are indebted to him. He
prophesied that the President would be
nominated at the coming Republican ma
tional convention, In spite OF the Roose-
welt opposition.
Secretary Stimson expressed the hope
that personalities would be- left out of
the campaign, and that all energy would
be centered on policy and on platform.
He regretted that the initiative and refer
endum and recall had been made national
issues, and stated that such. questions
should be fought out on the battle
grounds Of the States.
Edgar c. Snyder, president of the club,
made a short address, In which he like
wise upheld President Taft and the ad-
ministration- Gus A. SchuIdt acted as
chairman. A tenor solo was rendered
by Arthur Pearce, and a barytone solo
was given by Roland r. RoderIck Prof.
William F. Ruckets rendered a piano
solo.
The committee on arransements was
composed OF Edgar c. Snyder, Gus A.
Schuldt. Warren J. Conn. and J. Harry
Cunningham.

INDIANA CLAIMED
BY BOTH FORCES
Taft and Roosevelt Managers
Confident of Conyen-
tion Control.
CLOSE CONTEST is SURE

Indianapolis, Ind, March 23-Harry S.
New, national committeeman in charge
of the Taft headquarters in Indiana,
after reports had been brought TO him on
elections in which LIS delegates were
chosen, tonight declared that the Taft
vote was leading by 30 and that the
administration wing OF the Republican
party would control the State convention
by at least that number Of votes.
Edwin N. Lee, manager Of the Roose-
welt campaign In Indiana, declared that
the Roosevelt forces will be in full con-
troll Of the State convention Tuesday,
and that p, and possibly a. out Of the D.
delegates to the national convention will
vote for the nomination of the Oyster
Bay candidate.
Nine Districts for r. II.
Mr.. Lee claims the Roosevelt forces
won out in nine districts-the Second,
Third, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth,
Eleventh, Twelfth. and Thirteenth-while
he says the result will be close in the
First, Fifth, and Tenth.
Capt. New asserted that the First, Sec
ond, Fifth. Seventh, and Tenth districts
were the only ones from which enough
statement with regard to the Taft ma
jorities. In all Of these districts. he said.
the final vote would undoubtedly show
a majority for the President.
Capt. New was very uncertain about
the Eighth, from which district returns
showed the city of Anderson had thrown
its entire ten votes to Roosevelt, there
by making the total vote in the county
probably IS l-2 for Roosevelt against
a 1-2 for Taft. A majority Of twenty
one delegates In the First district was
claimed by Capt. New.
He declares that Mr.. Taft had prob
ably carried the Second district beyond
doubt. as the vote at that time stood:
Taft. so; Roosevelt, 81. The belief pre-
vailing in the minds of the Taft sup
porters was that the race throughout
the State was extremely interesting, but
that the final result would show a Taft
majority that would be sufficient COM
pletely to control the State convention.
