FOR COMMISSION
ON BIC BUSINESS

Washington, Jan. 6-Senator Bris-
tow presented to the senate today a
proposal for an industrial commission
of seven members to take over the
work of the bureau of corporations
and exercise control over all persons,
firms and corporations doing an in
terstate business with gross receipts
OF more than five million a year.
The purpose is to protect people
with some degree of promptness from
extortionate practices of powerful cor
porations without destroying the bus
mess they represent" he said. He
declared the Standard Oil and tobac-
&C trust cases demonstrated that the
courts were ineffective for the super
vision of big business.
The commission in no way would
be similar to the commission on in
dustrial relations recently authorized

FINDS AST0R'S MESSAGE,
"WE'LL MEET IN HEAVEN

Gulfport, Miss, Jan. 6-John Jacob
Astor's last message, scratched on a
deck chair while the steamship tt
tanic was sinking, was found recently
more than 1000 nautical miles from
the scene of the disaster caused by
an iceberg. 1t was a message of love
and farewell to his relatives, with
mention Of a reward to any who might
deliver it. and closed with the words
I'VE will meet in heaven"
The story of the message was told
yesterday by tht captain of the British
steamship Florentia, in port from
southern seas.
Captain Mallett said that while on
the way hither the Florentia was in
communication with the steamship
Longscar, which was undergoing re.
pairs at Montevideo after being struck
by mail boat The Longscar captain
told him that the Longscar's steward
was trolling with a line off the stern
for deep sea fish and drew up a frag-
ment of a deck chair on which mad
been scratched probably with a knife,
the last message of the lost million
aire.
The relic will be forwarded from
England when the LOngscar arrives
there. to the Astor family in the
United States. The piece of chair and
travelled from the spot of the coast
OF Newfoundland, where the Titanic
sank, across the North Atlantic ocean
to a point between Madeira and. Ten

DAVENPORT GIRL
ATTACKED BY man
Brute Tries to Choke Her
Strikes Victim and Flees
as Rescuers Appear.

Miss Norma Fleming, the 1T-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II. Flem-
ing. 1903 Marshall street, Davenport,
was the victim of an attack by an un-
known man last evening shortly after
s o'clock at the corner of Harris and
Marshall streets, Davenport.
The girl was returning home, after
having visited a girl friend, and had
just reached the corner several doors
from home when the man sprang at
her from between two houses. Clutch
ing the girl in vise-like grip, he en-
deavored to choke her into insenshbil-
ity. She managed in her struggles to
let out a scream for help which was
heard by several young men in club
house a short distance away. They
hurriedly came to the rescue. The
young men gave chase, but the brute
made good his escape, The police
were notified, but have as yet failed
to apprehend the assaliant.
Two little girls who were coasting
down the Harris street hill said that
the man had been watching them in
teTtly and that they had finally become
scared and were about to go home
when the Fleming girl CHANGED along
and was attacked.
A fair description of the man was
given He was described as tall and
thin, wore black shoes, dark over
coat and suit and light hat. 1t is be,
lieved by residents in that vicinity
that he is the same man who has been
seen lurking about in that neighbor'
hood. The residents were aroused over
the affair, and the fellow would have
been roughly handled 10 say the least
if he had been caught.
