Forbids Shipments of Liquor
Into Prohibition Territory.
REVIEW OF THE MEASURE
Regarded by the President as Leg
islation of Importance.
POSSIBLE OFFICIAL sHAKE-UP

Under Consideration-Mai
Relics as Souvenirs.

The Webb bill, prohibiting the shipment
Of liquors for illegal use into prohibition
territory, is now before President Taft
and will be taken up by him for DISPOSE
ton within a short time. 1t arrived al
the White House yesterday. and after
reference to the Treasury Department for
report by the commissioner of internal
revenue and Secretary MacVeagh and
to Attorney General Wickersham it will
be carefully read by the President. and
probably reviewed by him and his cabinet
advisers. The President regards it as one
of the most important measures which
has come before him in a long time
That and the immigration bill, which he
vetoed a few days ago, he classed as
the most important legislation of the
present session of Congress.
There Is widespread impression that
the President will veto the Webb bill on
the ground that it is unconstitutional,
but he has said nothing definite to give
such a clue to his possible action. The
guess is based largely upon his legal
characteristics and bent of mind as to
legislation generally.
1t is very doubtful if the President will
give hearings on the bill, as he did in
case of the immigration measure.
mass of kilograms and letters urging
the signing of the bill and advocating a
veto have been received at the White
House. The bulk of the messages come
from prohibition organizations and adVo-
Gates.
1t is generally understood that the
President will consider the bill almost
wholly upon its legal phases and that he
will not sign or veto it because of Its

Dispute Regarding Boards Power

There has been a bitter conflict between
the Treasury and the board for long
time over the claim of the board that it
has quasi judicial powers and may review
and turn down the work of the depart
ment as to customs charges. In fact 1t
has repeatedly overruled the officials Of
the Treasury, which claims that the Court
of Customs and Appeals is the only judi
cial body authorized to pass upon the acts
of the customs officials.
The President contemplates taking up
the reports at once, 1t was learned today,
and also proposes to go into the pro-
posed reorganization of the customs
service One of the last acts of his ad-
ministration may be the signing of an
order that will shake up the entire serv-
ice along the lines that Treasury officials
have been working on for months The
full report of the Treasury. approved by
Secretary MacVeagh, is expected TO be
in the Presidents hands the last of the
week He is already pretty familiar with
its provisions few days ago 1t looked
as if he would pass this matter over to
the incoming President but his desire
now is to get the report in such shape
that he can approve it before he goes
ont of office. There will. if the report is
finally approved. be big consolidation
of customs districts and ports, the GUST
ing from office of many surveyors and
collectors of customs and the handling
of the work at smaller ports by clerks
under the direction of the collector at
some larger port.

Restrictions Now Lacking.

1.-The act of 1870. as originally passed
and as it now stands in the District
code. allows educational corporations
to be formed by any persons, regard
less of their character or responsibili-
ty, and without having to obtain the
approval of any official body. 1t even
allows any persons to form educational
corporations of such dignity as col
leges or universities and to give any
kind of academic or honorary degrees
without any restriction or supervision
whatever.
Congress doubtless supposed that pub
lie sentiment would prevent abuse and
fraud but this has not proved to be lie
case Educational corporations organized
by Irresponsible persons under the act OF
1870, now forming a part of the District
code advertising themselves to be char
tered by the Congress of the United
States. are operating in many states Of
the Union, and are selling degrees and
are even sending degrees abroad TO APP
plicants in foreign countries.
This abuse of the statutory privilege
is seriously affecting the reputation of
the District as an educational center, md
even the reputation of the United States
among foreign nations.

Present Law Dated 1870.

1t is stated that by the law Of May s,
1870, Congress provided for the incor-
poration of educational institutions by a
general law under which incorporation
should take place by the filing of articles
of Incorporation in the office of the re-
corder OF deeds This law, practically
unchanged. it is asserted, has since con-
tinued in force. and has been made a part
of chapter % of the District code.
The act of 1870 which Mr.. Snow de-
scribes as an "open door, act for private
educational purposes. has produced many
good results. he says.
Though the policy adopted by the act
of 1870 was probably correct and wise"
states Mr. Snow, land though the act has.
in many ways. proved to be of great pub
lice benefit. experience has proved that
it was, in some respects, not suff1-
GENTLY clear and definite, and that suffi-
cient safeguards upon Incorporation were
not provided.

May Shake Up Appraisers.

President Taft today received two
important reports as to the board o..
general appraisers in New York. and
it is possible that before he goes out
of office, two weeks from today, he
may shake up that body from stem to
stern. The reports were submitted to-
day by the special commission appoint
ed by the President to make the in :
vestigation. 1t is headed by Winfred
r. Dennison assistant attorney general
of the Department of Justice: Felix
Frankfurter and William Loeb, jr., col
lector of customs in New York. The
commi ssion has been at work for a
long time. and tried to have its re-
ports ready earlier. One report deals
with the construction of the board and
it's administrative and alleged quasi
judicial functions. The other deals
with the personnel, careful investiga
ton having been made of complaints
and charges against the various men,
bers some of them serious and others
more or less frivolous.
The board recently gave an open hear
ing to T. S. Sharrett member of the
board against whom there We're intima-
tions of improper conduct. The hearing
was requested by Mr.. Sharrett. 1t is with
in the power of the President to reorgan-
ize the personnel of the board by dismiss
ing as many of its members as he sees
fit, although this action would profit lit
tie so far as nominating new members
goes as the Senate would not confirm
such nominations between now and
March 4.

NOT A TASK TO Be eNvIEO

Not always enviable was the lot Of

Queen Mary I'll for three days." and
she came out OF her sick chamber to
fine the disobliging jury meanwhile
confined in PRISON. the sum Of $4,000
head. Elizabeth followed the same
plan. and the practice Of fining Eng
lish juries did not cease until 1870.
when fine inflicted by the notorious
Jeffreys, was rescinded on appeal.
In some old time courts OF quarter
sessions" the Injunction to lay their
heads together had to be carried out
by jurymen In literal fashion. When
they began to consider the verdict
they were supposed to dive beneath
the level Of the jurybox and remain
in that cramped position until a deci-
sion was reached.
Meanwhile the court usher stood
near the box armed with O long wand

emerge above the surface before the
twelve minds we're agreed, down came
the wand on the head of the offender.

The wise and wholesome restraints
Of parental love- of family ties. Of a
