whether the government could run
telegraphs economically or not is very
doubtful continued Mr. Vail "The ex-
pcrience of Great Britain is not favor
able"
Mr.. Vail said there had been no CON
ferences on the subject and that not
even suggestion had been made to the
companies he represents that such a
proposition was being considered
Edward j. Nally, vice president and
general manager of the Postal Telegraph
Cable company, did not believe Congress
would favor Mr.. Hitchcock's idea.
In. my opinion" he added, "the coun-
try IS not prepared for such step. If
the government is to take over our pub
lie utilities, shouldn't the bigger things
be taken first Surely the railroads are
bigger than the telegraph"

WOULD PUNISH CARNEGIE

The Pair Insulted Congress, Insurgens
from Kansas De-
clares.

New York. Jan. l6~-Victor MurJiock,
insurgent member from Kansas in the
national House of Representatives. ar.
rived in New York Sunday and made
known his thoughts concerning Andrew
Carnegie, laird and jester of Skibo and
New York, and George w. Perkins.
ANDREW Carnegie and George w. Per-
kins should be hailed before the bar of
the national House of Representatives
without further ado Mr.. Murdoch said.
Both are guilty of gross recalcitrancy,
Both Perkins and Carnegie by theif
manner as witnesses slapped Congress
in the face insultingly? Why should
Congress knuckle to man of Perkins
calibreg
80 far as Andrew Carnegie and his
manner before the steel committee are
concerned, only Andrew himself and a
limited number OF his admirers see in his
evasive tactics as witness anything
cute For it's fun the American people
will still turn to vaudeville.
mo act would meet with so general
popular applause as one that would
follow a motion in Congress to take the
laird OF Skibo by the scruf of the
neck and land him fairly and squarely,
without the grin, before the bar of Con-
gress."

Bancroft OF the directors Of the port.
The entire board of port directors is in

The business of the Grand Trunk will

Gen. Bancroft. 1T is absolutely es-
sential, therefore, that the road have
extensive freight yards convenient and

however, will do all in their power to
secure for the road proper facilities. II

Roosevelt's Law o. K; Gov Baldwin's
N. G..

Washington, Jan. l6-Col. Roosevelt
who has not hesitsted many times to
express his opinion of the supreme court
of the United States, yesterday won a
single victory in that court which in
effect gave him distinct triumph over
Governor Simeon Baldwin of Connecti-
cut, formerly Judge Baldwin
In four cases the supreme court up
held the constitutionality of the en-
ployers' liability act of 1908. The phase
OF the courts decision, however, that
commanded most notice was its reversal
Of the court of appeals OF Connecticut.
That court held that an action to re-
cover under the law could not be brought
in state court. The supreme court,
through Justice Vandeyanter, held this
to be erroneous, and remanded the case
to the state court. The case was that
OF Mandon VS.. New Haven railroad.
This is the case in which Gov. Bald
win, when ON the bench, wrote the opin-
ion which resulted in a hot controversy
between him and Col Roosevelt. Now,
Governor Baldwin finds the supreme
court holds with the colonel, and the
decision which Judge Baldwin made was
pretty sharply turned down yesterday,
Justice Vandevanter took the position
the federal courts did not have excu-
sive jurisdiction under this law. A broad
smile went around the court room when
the lawyers realized what had occurred.

ness on 100000 or
More.

Washington, Jan. 16.-ConstructivC
legislation looking to federal control OF
the great corporations engaged in the
manufacture of goods of all kinds foi
purposes of interstate commerce is tbs
object of a bill which will be introduced
in the House of Representatives by
Ernest w. Roberts, a Republican OF
Massachusetts.
The bill is framed to form the basis oil
the administration campaign for Jed
eral control of the trusts. The first
draft of the bill has been submitted by
it's author to members of the United
States commerce court and other court
justices and members of the interstate
commerce commission, besides having
previously received the appreciation OF
Commissioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith
The Roberts bill does not repeal in
any particular the Sherman law. The
new corporation bill is well supplied
with punitive paragraphs looking to the
encouragement of efforts to defeat its
objects and these paragraphs in almost
every case carry with them penalties Of
Imprisonment for offenses against the
law
The bill prohibits stock watering of
new corporations, and is applicable to
all corporations, exclusive OF national
banks and insurance companies, all Of
which now have what appears to be suf
ficient federal or state regulation. In
scope it aims to control through the
medium of the bureau of corporations

NO POTATO FAMINE LIKELY.
Foreign Crop Will Probably Prevent
Higher Prices.

New York, Jan. l6.--According to tho

hardly probability of potato famine
in this country in the coming spring,
nor is there much likelihood that the
Wholesale price will be higher than it il
now So 60@2.75 a bag of 1865 pounds,
or $3@325 for a lS0-pound bag. Gov
eminent estimates on Oct. put the 1910
crop at 1851 900 bushels, while 1911
crop was estimated on that date at ISL
10000 bushels, an apparent shortage
of 81 .0S6,000 bushels.
Maine last season had a crop of prac-
tcally 25,000000 bushels. Up to Dec.
81 less than 100000 bushels had been
shipped. Maine shippers report that
practically every farmer has his potato
house well filled and will not open ii
until the price is higher Early in the
season Maine shippers sold practically
100000 bushels at an average price of
60@70c per bushel, or Sl.50 per barrel,
so that, with plenty of money in hand,
the Maine farmer has been Independents
throughout the fall and winter. Now
he is getting $2.50@275 barrel at his
station.
Wisconsin, with an increased acreage,
had practically 25,000,000 bushels of po-
tatoes. Not over half has so far been
shipped. Michigan. which had 100000
bushels in 1910, is reported to have had
about 30,000,000 bushels last year, of
which not half has been shipped. Min

houses filed to the brim, and very few
have so far, even at the higher price rul-
ing in the South, opened their potato
houses. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mich
igan usually market the bulk of their
potatoes in the spring. One county
alone, Clay county, Mimi, has now prac-
tically 100000 bushels in the potato
houses. This county turned out 1000
600 bushels of early Ohio potatoes the
last year. The heavy shortage last year
occurred in Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Colorado. while the Maine crop. although
the acreage was decreased. showed
material increase in average Yield
Against 2S,000,000 in 1910, Pennsylvania
produced last year about 100000
bushels, New York state, which leads
the list usually, had 44,675,O00 bushels
in 1910. Last year the crop was practi-
cally 100000 bushels.
The past year has been record one
for potatoes. Beginning with the early
crop from Hastings, Fla. which sent
10000 barrels at an average Of $3.50
barrel, a $3.50 bushel, good prices have
prevailed throughout the spring summer
and fall. Early in the fall Maine, New
York and Michigan farmers started a

their potato crops until 81 a bushel al |

tive statement was made at the White
House that there had been no friction
between the president and the postmas.
ter-general over the latter's proposed
recommendation that the government
acquire and operate all telegraph lines
as an adjunct of the postal system.
Mr.. Hitchcock, on his way to see the
president, would not discuss the matter
in any way.
It was reported, however, that what
ever feeling existed at the White House
was due mainly to the absence of in
formation there as to Mr.. Hitchcock $
intentions.
II was said that President Taft would
make his attitude perfectly clear when
he sent to Congress the Hughes COM
mission report on second class matter.
This report is expected in the near fu-
ture.
The pronouncement in favor of gov
eminent ownership and operation OF
the telegraph lines, as an adjunct OF
the postoffice department stirred official
Washington yesterday as few admins
istratiye acts have in recent years.
The postmaster generals statement
was news to the White House and is
said to have caused the greatest sur
prise there. This was evident when
efforts were made Sunday night to re-
call the announcement. This effort,
however. did not come from Mr.. Hitch
cock.
Senator's and representatives general
Nv did not learn of the proposed recom-
mendation until they read the announce
ment When they reached the capitol
all were discussing the matter and many
divergent views were expressed.
Most generally discussed of all the
reports early Yesterday was one of the
pressure that might be brought to bear
upon Mr.. Hitchcock not to make the
recommendation. So far the matter has
not progressed beyond a declaration by
the postmaster general that he would
make such a recommendation to Con-
gress with statement by him giving
reasons for the proposed acquisition of
the telegraph lines.
There was no disposition at the cap
itol yesterday to avoid any serious con-
sideration of the proposed plan.
In the House. Representative Moon of
Tennessee, chairman Of the postoffice
committee announced that the matter
would be given earnest attention.
Speaker Champ Clark declared the gov
