NEW JERSEY CHARTERS.

Governor Wilson's plea Tor the re-
form of New Jerseys corporation laws
IS much belatcd. He knew two years
200 as well as he knows today that
those laws were the breeders of mo-
uopolv and that New Jersey charters
were letters Of marquc for the deStruc-
ton of competition. But only at the
ond Of his term. with the Presidency
safely i'm his hand. does he make any
serious effort to secure their modi1ca-
tion. In his inaugural address he made
y perfunctory suggestion that the cor
roration laws needed alteration, but
beyond thar did nothing to promote
action by IL Legislature Of 1911, per-
haps becaI sc he was too much occu'
pied with other reforms. The Legis-
lature of 1912 stood ready 10 cooper
atc with him on the subject, and its
leaders sought his aid TO devise wise
measure 10 govern charters, but he
held aloof from the enterprise for rea-
sons which can only be inferred. Pos
sihlv he did not wish 10 share with
"a Republican Legislature the credit for
such a reform. Possibly he did not
consider it polite to attack this ar
scnal of monopoly on the eve Of the
Presidential nominations and election.
Al any rate. he reserved his earnest
attack for a Parthian shot.
But better late than never The
,,.t,l, .l.untr,- will homo that Goyornor
Wilson's words will find as much hos
pitality i'm the present Legislature as
they would have found in the last. and
;hat . thOroughgoing revision may re-
suit; for other states have been large

Inning the industries Of the rest Of
tho country. As the Governor points
out New Jersey. far from checking
monopoly. actually encourages il and
gives an explicit license for holding
companies He offers no affirmative
outline Of the form Of charter which
lac thinks desirable. but contents him
self with the specific objection TO the
existing laws authorization of cor
porationS TO own. deal in and vote on
the shares of other corporations. He
docs. however. specifically outline an
other important reform. namely, Of
fetal supervision Of the whole process
of Incorporation. with checks on un-
warranted and fictitious increases of
capital and on the issue Of securities
not based on actual value. He would
also prohibit the marketing Of securi-
ties in the state. except under license
and inspection TO safeguard investors
from deceit and enable them to know
whether securities offered TO them
we're bogus or based on good business.
The practical application Of this cx-
tcnsivc supervision would not be easy,
Iut the need Of some check on reckless
promotion is obvious. New York regu-
lates the issue Of public service securi-
ties, and the Court Of Appeals has re-

THE POE COTTAGE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard TO the matter or the
preservation of the Poe cottage it is said
that $4,000 is granted and VIII DE used
for removing the cottage across the
street 20 Poe Park.
II seems to me better way would he

leave it i'm it's original location, as we'll

To move the building to new site and
repair the necessary damage would leave
little OF the original TO preserve, and
would be a waste OF money as we'll AS

rark, whereas the lot would be a valuable

those who have endeavored 10 induce en-
Moves who are satisfied with their work

Allow me to advance the statement that
there are no peaceful strikers or pickets.

sets include scarf, mum and hat. The
neck pieces are what they are in
tended to ber-a protection against
bitter cold weather, and with few ex-
captions are shaped around the throat
and at closely up to the collar line.
Heads, tails and paws are used ex-
tensively ~ trimming. Long wide
stoles with cape shape back are so
developed that when wound around
the figure they resemble wrap.
II is quite astonishing how many
different effects can be produced by
the combination Of different furs and
the Encouragement of the markings.
A Colonial scarf which Is very ef-
fective Is of civet cat, nearly three
yards long and half yard wide.
This has fancy markings In the mid
die and both ends. and Is lined In
brocaded silk nnished with silk ruff
ming. The mum matches In design
and II nearly gigantic in size Mole
and beaver Is an entirely new combi-
nation noted In some of the scarfs.
A neck piece ''1t for a queen" Is
constructed OF four silver foxes, two
skins hang straight down the front.
while the other two skins are arrang-
Cd 90 that the tall Of one hangs over
the left shoulder. and the head Of the
other over the right. Three skins are
used for the large-sized mum, which

white fox or coney are used, though
many sets are combined with ermine
for daytime use. Mole and ermine is
q superb combination.
Silk ornaments, rich Oriental
braids, fancy tassels and puffings and
shirrings OF silk lend smart touches
to many sets. There Ia no well-de-
fined style. II you like small piece.

not hesitate on the point Of modish-
ness, as both are equally popular.
Muffs.
Muffs are larger than ever. In fact,
the only nun which 10 too large Is
the one which is too big for you to
carry.
Unusual care and thought is given
to the shaping. lining and trimming
of the NUNS, making them a. attrac-
tive as they are useful. Novelty 10

NUTS. Brilliant brocades. or plain

the white furs have white satin. or

Fashion one observes pillow-shaped

nuns, and those draped In accordance
with the style Of the neck piece.
Fur coats In many cases are made
OF two or more contrasting furs. Hud-
son seal. Persian lamb. and mole
coats are more In evidence than any
other. Nothing IL too extreme to be
In style. Short and long coats snow
