.L0NC-PEND|NG BILL
COMES UP TOMORROW
Rockefeller Foundation Meas
ure Will Be Acted on
in House.

Final action, so far as the present
session of Congress is concerned. will be
taken tomorrow on the bill to incorpO-
rate the Rockefeller Foundation, with an
endowment of $1CO.O0O,COO, to be used
for all charitable or philanthropic pur-
poses that advance civilization. when the
proposed measure is again brought be-
fore the House.
In one form or another the bill has
been pending for almost two years. AS
originally introduced in the Senate, it en-
bodied features to which exceptions were
taken, as result of which its passage
was not urged. Notwithstanding that
the Senate committee having it in charge
recommended its passage.
The present bill, which was revised to
meet ali possible objections, was report
ed favorably bys unanimous vote from
the House judiciary committee, but has
remained on the calendar almost a year,
by reason of the fact that conditions
were not favorable to bills to which there
was any objection on the part of indi-
vidual members of the House. A short
time ago the bill was brought up under
suspension of the rules, but point Of
no quorum being made, it went over as
unfinished business until the next sus-
pension day, which is set for tomorrow
Fight Against the Measure.
The fight against the measure in it's
present revised form is led by Repre-
sentative Fowler of Illinois and Repre-
sentative Shackleford of Missouri, the
members of whose faction declare that
thew see in the measure an effort on the
part of the capitalistic class to influence
public opinion i'm its favor by huge berie-
factions. such as the one proposed in
the foundation.
REPRESENTATIVE Peters of Massachu-
sets, representing the Judiciary commit
tee, will lead the fight on the floor for
the measure. The friends of the bill point
out that it is better for John ID. Rookie
feller's hundred million to be working
for the betterment of humanity than to
be boarded up by man who already
has more money than ne knows what to

Views of Mr.. Wellington.

There can be no combination between
republicans and progressives. They stand
for opposing extremes. Munsey's plan
will not work. Only time can bring about
and adjustment of the political situation
which will produce effectual opposition
to the democratic party. Our people must
stand for principles and must be willing
to accept defeat until the country comes
to acceptance of our cause. We face a
war of determination and an application
of the law of the survival of the fittest
When this shall have been accomplished
We shall see some of those now in either
the republican or the progressive party
going over to the democrats. On the
other hand, we shall see some democrats
going over to the survivors of the fight
between the bull moose and the repub-
licans-that is. there will be ultra-pro-
gressive democrats going to the Opposi-
ton il the progresSiveS win out, ultra
conservative democrats going to the OPP
position if the republicans win out
''All this is involved, complicated with
many possibilities and possibilities with
in possibilities. No man can foresee the
details of the process. But / think the
course of years will clarity the political
issues of the country and bring about
new algnments. F'hile that is coming
the democrats probably will control
Meantime those who have made the fight
for the progressive party on princi-
pie at the last election should strength
en- themselves for a long fight for their
beliefs Principle should not be sacri-
victory. Progress does not come that

For years the federal government has
been criticised by individuals, tenn
perance organizations and public
speakers for licensing dealers to retail
liquors in territory that had voted or
been declared dry. and numerous eX-
plantations have been made that the
stamp issued as a receipt for the spe-
cial tax was not a license. but merely
token indicating that the federal tax
had been paid.

Favors Getting Together.

On the heels of the declaration of war
to determination by the former senator
comes Robert Garrett, who is in favor of
the plan to get together. Garrett had a
conference with the progressive commit
teeman of Baltimore county, c. Ross
Mace. and at the end of the pow-wow
had this to say:
Mr. Mace and / talked about condi-
tons in Baltimore county and the adj
visibility of getting together / indorse the
suggestion of Mr.. Munsey that it is the
part of the wisdom for the republican
and progressive parties to amalgamate
in order to present a solid and united
front against the democrats. I do not
wish to talk about the matter until u
have had a chance to discuss it with
other members of our committee. All
i will commit myself to at this time is
that | think it sensible thing for the
two parties to get together. Just how
this is to be done is matter for the

Miles Said to Be Candidate.

The senatorial togas to be handed out
by the next legislature still occupy
much attention in political circles. The
latest report connects former Repre-
sentative Joshua W. Miles with an am
bitiOn to hold down a seat in the upper
house of Congress at Washington Mr.
Miles was in town the latter part of the
week, and as he spent his time here at
the same hostelry that sheltered Blair
Lee, rumor had il that certain support
ers of Lee was using their persuasive
powers to induce the eastern shOreman
to line up with the Montgomery county
leader and get into the fight for the long
term senatorship.
Blair Lee is a candidate for the short
term, and so is Representative Talbot,
although he will not make the formal
announcement until some time between
March and the converting of the extra
session of Congress. Senator Smith is
of course a candidate for the long-term
to succeed himself. and Isaac Lobe
Straus is his avOwed opponent, having
made his formal announcement and got
ten his campaign artillery ready for
use at any moment. Mayor Preston will
get into the fight later on, his formal
announcement that he is a candidate
be followed by a vigorous campaign. in
which every section of the state will be
covered.
Lee Opposed to Smith.
Lee is said to take a deep interest in
having eastern short opposition to Smith,
in order that that section might have a
representative in the senate. He is known
to be opposed to Smith, and hence the
necessity of looking around for another
candidate with whom to make a hard
and fast combination for the bitter pri-
mary fight that is certain 10 be pulled
off This year. AS the campaign pro-
crosses combinations may be necessary.
and If he has no eastern shOreman in
the field save Smith. Lee may feel that
he is compelled to support man from
this side of the Chesapeake. Lee. il is
said does not wish to do this without
first making earnest effort to get a
man from the other side of the bay. SO
that the voters in that section Will under
stand that the stand against the eastern
shore candidate has been forced upon
him. Ii is a curious fact that many of
Smiths friends on the eastern shore are
supporting Lee, and ii is explained in
this way: BY boosting Lee with Smith
il is claimed that the Worcester man is
helped where he is weak while no harm
is done hiYn-where he is strong.
The city democratic organization l.
working for Preston for the long term
to oppose Smith. despite the fact tina,
the mayor has not yet announced his can
didacy and will not do for a month Oh
So Ii is evident that the word has been
passed along the line by the leaders. and
this means that Smith will find himself
fighting IA part of his own machine in the
coming primary. The Worcester man is
not at all in high favor with the caba
that controls the Baltimore ring and the
big leaders of the city would be delighted
to see the senior senator laid out on the
political cooling board It's going Il
be interesting politically this summer
and fall. and the ultimate result viii
show many of the old-time leaders un
horsed and sent to the political scraI
heap.

Furthermore. section 32i3- Revised

the federal internal revenue tax shall be

sioner adds that information received at
this Office indicates that this is one of the
greatest aids in the enforcement of local
laws"
The commissioner states that the cOllec-
ton of special taxes and the issuance of
stamps receipts for such taxes cannot
be discontinued without congressional
action repeating the present internal rev.
enue laws all over the country. and eX-
presses the belief that such action would
be the worst blow that could befall the
persons who are sincerely DESTROYS of
enforcing local prohibitory or semi-pro-
hibitory laws

Washington, Sept e-Thomas W. Gregory, special assistant to the At torney-General, is preparing a bill for suit under the Sherman antitrust law against the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad
 Special Assistant Gregory was chos- en by Attorney-Genera1 McR eynolds in May to make a detailed investiga- stionG Int the affairs of the New Haven road with the view to determining whether or not there had been viola ions of the Sherman law
 MT. Gregory, who is a lawyer oe Austin, Tex, went carefully over the data which 1t was possible for him to gather in New York and Boston, giv- ing his attention to all phases of the charges of Sherman law violations which had been banded back and forth by enemies of the New Haven in the past few years. He investt- gated the connection of the carrier with trolley lines and steamship com panfes and sought information also on their non-ra1lroad property holdings.
 MT. Gregory returned to Washing ton late in August to make a study of the data which he had gathered. It was not long before he assured MT. McReyno1ds of his conviction that the Sherman law had been violated and that he had. the material at hand to procure decision to this effect in a

Federal court.
 MT. Gregory gave much attention to the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission which was made public on July last. Running through this re- port there was the clear intimation of the Federal investigators that the merger with the Boston and Maine Railroad might be held unlawful un- der tHe Sherman act. The commis- sfon's report was concerned in the main with the financial management of the New Haven road, which it at tackled, and it professed to consider alleged violations of the antitrust law as beyond it's Jurisdiction.
 As the special assistants conc1u- sions became more definite he report ed them to the Attorney-G General and submitted brief sketches of the evil dence he had in support of them. He was directed to proceed with the pre- paration of a suit against the cor poration.

 according to a report issued, todd by the Interstate Commerce C.ommle- sion, of a rear-end collision between two passenger trains on the PenusvI- vania railroad on July 90, at Tyrone. Pa. The accident resulted in the death of one employe and the injury Of 1zg passengers, twenty employees. five pos tai clerks and two Pullman employes. The trains were being operated under the automatic block system. A test Of the signals after the accident. showed that they were in good working condi- tfon
 The report says it is impossible to account for the failure of all three men on the engine properly to observe the indication of the signal "and there can be no excuse for such failure
 "A considerat ton of accidents of tni1 character which have occurred within the past two years" says the report. leads inevitably to the conclusion that even the most complete and mod ern system of fixed signals is not ade- ouate under all circumstance to iu- sure the safe operation Of trains. This accident again calls attention to the necessity of some form Of autOmat- fc train stopping device"
 The cars of both trains were Of the a1I-steeI type and the report says that "the substantial construction Of the modern steel cars making up these trains is without doubt the reason that none of the passengers was killed"
