and Tangible as to Their
Details of Composition,
Declare Measures Sent In
With Executive Sanction

TRENTON. N. J., Jan. so.-President
elect woodrow Wilson reached today
what he considers the clinaax In his
program of reform as governor of
New Jersey. Seven bills making for
the most extensive revision OF the
corporation laws in the history of the
state were introduced tonight in the
state legislature.
These acts are designed to put an
end to trusts and monopolies under
the laws OF New Jersey" declared
Governor Wilson in a prepared state
ment describing the measures, "and
predict confidently that they will
accomplish that much desired result"
Though the principle OF the bills
which seek to prevent monopoly, un-
derselling in local markets. mergers,
the existence of holding companies.
and the issuance of watered stock, is
one which the governor emphasized
repeatedly in the national campaign,
he declared tonight that the proposed
legislation had been drawn with the
conditions in the state of New Jersey
alone in mind.
These bills embody my ideas of the
way New Jersey should deal with the
question" he said. National legls-
lation might have to be different"
Ever since the close of the campaign
the governor has been working on the
problem of corporation reform with
the assistance of Chancellor Edward
l. Walker and Judge Bennett Van
Syckel. AS the acts are administra-
tion measures and the democrats have
a comfortable majority in both houses.
democratic leaders practically were
unanimous in predicting that they
would be enacted with little opposi-
tion.
IMPRISONMENT FEATURES
The feature of the bills that attracted
most attention was the provision max

Especial Dispatch to The CaH)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Yielding to
the request of President elect Wilson
from the ceremonies on March 4, the
committee of the district of Columbia
today completely washed its hands of
all preparations for entertainment.
Mr.. Wilson expressed the wish that a
public reception be held at the capitol
at formal meeting held today, decided
that such reception would be purely
ia government function and was not
within the scope of its jurisdiction. and
that congress itself would have to take
charge.
leading citizens who were placed In
charge of the ceremonies were some
what impatient with the request made
for the elimination OF the ball. which
has heretofore been the chief feature
of the inauguration ceremonies.
TURKEY TROT REAL REASON
They were made even more impatient
when they learned that the real rea-
son that Governor Wilson asked that
the ball be eliminated was because he
proved OF the turkey trot." tango"
grizzly bear" and other dances which
have been observed at the White House
and at all social functions in Washing
ton
While members said that 1t was quite
clear that Mr.. Wilson had obtained
an erroneous idea of the dances, his
wishes would be complied with. How
ever, they did not feel it incumbent
upon them to substitute a public re-
ception, especially as he had already
turned down the plans made by the
chairman of the committee appointed
by himself.
TRYING TO THE TEMPER
The temper of the committee was not
improved by the announcement from
Trenton that il arrangements were
made for a public reception the presi-
dent elect desired that neither Mrs.
wilson nor the Misses Wilson should
be expected to attend. There were
some members who felt that this was
slight to the general public, which was
led to expect the president and his
family to mingie with his guests.
The thing that gives most concern
is the fact that hitherto the receipts of
the inaugural ball have made up the
fund which maid for all the other ex-
penses.
