BRANDE|S OPPOSES
APPROVAL bYL. &C.
Criticises House Bill Giving Su-
pervisory Powers Over Is
sue of R. R. Securities.

Criticism of the House bill giving the
interstate commerce commission super
visory powers over the issue of railroad
securities was voiced yesterday before
the Senate interstate commerce commit
tee by Louis d. Brandeis Of Boston. His
views were not at all in accord with
those expressed previously by members
of the commission, which to large de-
gree has approved the House bill.
The House bill would give the commits
but would not prohibit specifically AM
particular issue. Mr.. Brandeis proposed
to prohibit railroads engaging In any
business other than that Of carriers anG
forbid them to issue any securities at al
except for the betterment or extension Of
the railroad property. This provision hi
urged to curb the desire of railroads tt
go into coal mining. hotel and other bust
nesses, not purely that Of carriers.
Makes Second Suggestion.
His second suggestion was that no rail
road should be allowed to acquire b.
lease. or any other way, any stock or In
terest In any railroad, ship OF boat line
trolley line. or in any corporation owninf
extending its railroad system. without tn,
prior approval Of tho commission. ant
then only to the extent and in the man
ner approved by the commission"
He also proposed that every railroad
should notify the commission Of its pur
pose to issue any securities, and thereb,
give the fullest publicity to the trans
action.
Mr.. Brandeis offered an amendment t,
the House bill incorporating these sugges
tions. He argued that aa the bill stand
railroads might issue all sorts of securi
ties and necessary approval Of the com
mission might be taken by the public a
a government stamp Of the soundness o.
the securities. He thought the giving O.
such power should be deferred until tn,
physical valuation of railroads has beer
completed.
Members of the committee said las
night that they probably would chang,
the House provision granting supervisor,
be taken on this feature within few
days.

PLACES CREPE ON BUST.
Democrats at Capitol Had Failed
Thus Honor Stevenson.

None of the democrats officially en-
pioyed about the Senate wing Of the Cap
itol thought to decorate with crepe the
bust Of the late Adlai E. Stevenson, Vice
President during the second Cleveland ad-
ministration. who died a week ago. It
was Michael Francis Doyle. a Philadel-
phia lawyer and a democrat who noticed
that the bust had not been draped with
crepe.
why isn't this bust draped?" he asked
a Waterman.
The Waterman replied that he thought
the democrats We're go busy they must
have forgotten.
We'll, I'm not too busy" said Doyle.
and he went out and bought some black
crepe, which was then draped about the
bust Of the dead statesman.

RELOCATE "OBEY,"
DR.. SHAW'SP[EA
Believes Word in Marriage
Ceremony Is Essentially
Immoral.
Says Affection, Not Financial
or Social Standards, Should
Govern Unions.

Here is what DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
really believes about marriage:
The word obey IN the marriage cere-
mony is essentially immoral.
The giving away of women in mar
riage is antiauated.
Each marriage ceremony should be
adapted to the occasion and TO those TAX
ing part in 1t.
Most marriages of TODAY are unworthy
because they are based on financial or
social standards"
his is a summary of the reply of Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw to her critics who
have been getting widespread publicity
during the last week. Her true views
about marriage she thus expresses:
Denies She Said It.
from Philadelphia that l stated that the
marriage ceremony had outlived its use
fulness and should be relegated to obliv-
ion is absolutely without foundation.
Il had no such interview with any re-
the subject Of marriage to any re-
porter since my return from Europe
until after these garbled statements
appeared in public.
ton Of leaving the word obey out of
the marriage ceremony was under dis
cussion. did make the statement that
there were many features Of the pres
should be obliterated, and mentioned
the word obey which l considered to
be essentially immoral, because for
any adult human being to pledge for
any other human being. without know
ing what will be demanded OF her. IL
essentially immoral.
Il also spoke of the part in which
the woman is given away as being
Anticipated, and belonging to the time
when the woman was not recognized
as distinct human entity, but as be-
longing to the male members of the
family.
Holds Marriage Sacred.
These two points in the marriage
ceremony l think are out Of place at
the present time. and so stated. But so
far from stating that marriage cere-
mony was out of place. my whole ideal
Of marriage is SO high that 1 feel these
changes should be made, because 1
think the marriage ceremony too sacred
q thing to have incorporated in it any
thing which is unworthy or which does
not belong to the thought of our age.
Il did state that l have no set cere-
mony for all couples whom / marry. be-
cause l feel that marriage is an in
dtvidual and personal affair. and that
each marriage is a personal affair ard
that each ceremony should be adapted
to the occasion and to those who take
part in 1t.
I'm fact my ideal of marriage is so
much higher than the ideal which the
critics hold that think it is too sacred
subject. and the relation too sacred
relation to be entered into lightly or
without due consideration. And for that
reason l think that many of the mar
riages today are wholly unworthy be-
cause they are based on financial or So
cial or some other standards rather
than on the standard OF affection,
which is the only foundation upon
which true marriage should rest"

One of Objects Of Visit.
II was learned later that one of the
objects of Mr.. Naon's visit was to In
ducs the constitutionalist leaders to
waive temporarily their objection to the
consideration of the internal affairs in
Mexico by the mediation conference He
is said to have suggested that il the con-
stitutionalists would agree to a provi-
sional government to succeed Huerta
the mediatory powers and the Umteo
States would aid in settling the internal
conflict.
one outstanding feature of, the situation
was the fact that notwithstanding fore
casts of the failure OF the mediation, not
the slightest movement has been Maoe
by the military authorities indicative or
a purpose to extend the activities OF the
army or navy in Mexico. The warships
were disposed in Mexican waters rs they
had been for months past; the order for
the relief of some Of the ships by others
now in the home yards remained IN
changed and no additional transports or
soldiers were started to reinforce Fun
ston at Vera Cruz. In fact, it was stated
on the highest authority that. regardless
of the fact that the understanding be-
tween the United States government and
W
At Vera Cruz should be suspended only
during the progress of the mediation,
there is not the slightest intention on
Gen. Funston's part to take the initia-
tive in any offensive operations in the
Immediate future.
Will Not Order Attack.
Moreover, it is we'll understood at the
War Department. though the sources of
{nf hat 10
part Gen. Huerta does not intend to
order an attack upon the American
troops at Vera Cruz officials say that as
he must realize the utter futility Of any
attempt to drive the American soldiers
ont of the port so long as they can flnd
shelter against even vastly superior
numerical force under the guns OF Ad-
rniral Badgers fleet Huerta prooaoly
would much prefer to have the Ameri-
cans in control of the only port through
which he can count upon making his
escape from Mexico in case OF need
than to have it fall into the possession
OF the constitutionalists under Gen.
Aguilar. who are now only rev miles
north of Vera Cruz.
So with both sides willing to refrain
from resumption of hostillt1es, 1t is
believed to be quite probable that the
only result in the event OF collapse OF
the mediation negotiations at Niagara
Falls would be a recurrence to the con-
ditions that existed before mediation
was initiated and the mediators as
sembled at Niagara Falls month ago.

WILL SAVE MONEY.

Regardless of conditions, textbooks
belonging to the children in the pub
lie schools of Kentucky will be trad
ed to the book companies at the con-
tract price. AS result this will save
the parents thousand of dollars. SUI
perintendent Hamlet has decided
that under the Act of 1914 all pub
fishers will be required to take up
and exchange books regardless of
condition, provided they are of the
same grade. The ruling was made to
correct an impression thath as gone
out that such books offered in ex-
change would have to be in good con-
dition. Hamlett's Interpretation of
the law is that the "good condition"
clause applies only to suck books as
are held by the dealers on their
shelves, which, of course, will be
taken up by the contractors at the
original net prices.
