Plan of the Commissioners.

The commissioners proposed to occupy
the lake frontage from Randolph street
to 18th street, from 18th street to 67th
street and from 95th street to 1O2d street.
This. Mr. Garrison said probably would
render the construction of any upto-
date commercial pier in Lake Michigan
forever impossible within the limits of
the city Of Chicago.
Gen. Bixby's report was a complete
history of the development of the port
Of Chicago. 1t strongly urged the de-
partment TO refrain from granting any
permits which would restrict the com
mercial development Of the port without
express direction by Congress.

position to the much-discussed prop

under governmental regulation and

urged the continuation Of the policy
which permits competition among
the industries OF the United States.
In his annual report to secretary
Nagel, just made public today, the
commissioners says that recent de-
cisions under the Sherman anti
trust act have demonstrated that
statute is effective to reach console
dations which so cross the border
Enc of monopolistc contrcI as to be
detrimental to the public interest.
1T is remarkable he added,
that after years of effert to maintain
the vital principle of the Sherman
antitrust act the first real success
in this direction, so far as Industrial
combinations are concerned, should
be accompanied by a rather wide
spread demand for the practical
abandonment of that principle and
the substitution therefor of regu-
lated monopoly. 1t should not es-
cape notice that among the foremost
advocates of such regulated monop-
oily are the Representatives of some
of the most powerful consultations

UNITED STATES TROOPS
ARE MARCHING TO TEXAS
Prepared for Any Emergency
in the Troubles in Mex
leo Now.
GOVERNOR OF TAXES
Makes Threats to Order Out
His Own Troops on
Monday.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. "a
The First brigade, Second division
OF the recognized army, consisting
OF four infantry regiments, com
manded by iBrigadier General F. A.
Smith, has been ordered to Calves
ton, Tex, to be held to embark for
foreign service.
There is no pressing purpose Of
flcials say OF dispatching troops from
Galveston to Mexico. Today's order
is simply one of the steps taken to
have troops ready for any emergency.
1t is animated that one OF the pur-
poses is to provide President Will
son with the proper facilities to car
ry out any plan he may have in con-
temptation regarding the Mexican
situation but the movement or
course does not commit him in any
way to a policy of forcible interview
ton.
Some OF the troops will begin to
arrive in Galveston by tomorrow
night or Monday morning. A sum-
mary execution of Madero. regarded
as the constitutional president Of
Mexico, without due process of law
might possibly be interpreted as
demonstrating the existence of a
practical state OF anarchy.
However, it was stated today that
there was no pressing intention OF
utilizing the armed forces of the
United States to back up the atti-
tude OF President Taft's administra-
tion. but it will be left to President
Wilson and his secretary of state to
determine what shall be done.

PLAN IS LAID TO
BLOW UP CHURCH
Where Many Souls Are Being
Saved at Big Revival
Meeting.

blow those good people to Heaven
before they wander into the pitfalls
of sin again" appears to have been
the hope Of an unidentified man at
iThnnelton before his deadly plot was
unearthed at Tunnelton Friday
night.
A great revival meeting is being
held in the Methodist Episcopal
church there and souls are being
saved by the hundreds. The church
is neat, frame building and it is
crowded to the very limit every
night, where sermon, song and
prayer prevail.
| Thursday a stranger was seen to
go to the church but nothing was
thought OF the matter. Again Fri
day evening the fellow hung around
the sanctuary and still no one sus-
pected that he was the Devils own
agent After he had gone, some of
the more thoughtful reflected that
his actions were queer, or they may
have been admon!shed by an angel.
At any rate they concluded to in
vtstigate. All was well until they
looked under the church, when they
became Mortified in finding verit-
able mine of explosives enough to
repeat the blowinug UP of the
Maine. or the Times building hor-
ror at Los Argelts.
Four large sticks of dynamite
capped and fused and ready to be
touched off were found. The man
had provided for his own safety by
using fuses ten feet long or more.
Whether the explosive was time set
has mot been learned, and what mo-
tive the Crank had other than to
blow several souls to Heaven no
one knows.
Only the timely discovery pre-.
vented the fight of the spirits of
many old and new saints from fit
ting Heavenward.
