S0L0NS HEAR WILSON
PRESIDENT READS MESSAGE TO
JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
State Paper Contains 5000 Words and
States Briefly Legislation Needed
by Nation.

Washington. Jan. 20--At no time
since President Wilson inaugurated the
practice Of reading his messages to
congress has he attracted more at
tentive audience than he did today
while presenting to the members of
the two houses his views on needed
trust and monopoly legislation
While the demand for seats in the
comparatively limited quarters of the
lower house was not so great as it
was at the time of President Wilson's
first appearance, the close attention
given to his words was even more
marked than on any former oc-
casion.
Although press dispatches had partly
informed the country of the attitude
the president would take, and while
he had talked freely with his party
leaders. there Was still feeling OF UNI
certainty as to just what his recon-
mendations would be. and the feeling
that they possibly would involve radi-
cal changes 1t was this uncertainty
which likely accounted Tor the marked
attention given him.
Like all of his previous statements
his message was short, making but
about three thousand words. 1t con
tanned no review OF previous legisla-
tion on the subjects covered, nor any
extended argument as to the need OF ad-
ditional laws. but was brief and
pointed statement AS to what is need
ed
There was a noticeable absence from
the audience OF any considerable mum.
Der Of men interested in corporations
which might be affected by the legisla.
ton the president asked for. While
there were many visitors from various
sections Of the country, they we're
mainly men in political life and the
usual Washington sightseers.

Points in President
Wilson'S Message

Regarding monopoIies and the
various means by which they
have been organized and main
talned, the country seems to be
coming to a clear and all but
universal agreement.
II is not our purpose to ham,
per or interfere with business as
enlightened business men prefer
TO do L. Antaqonism between
business and government is over.
The government and business
men are ready to meet each
other half way in a common ef-
fort to square business methods
with both public opinion and the
law.
Private monopoly is indefens-
IDLE and intolerable. This coun-
try wants laws which will effect.
uaIiy prohibit and prevent in
terIockino directories OF great
corporations. Such laws in op-
Grafton will bring new men, new
energies, new spirit Of initia-
tive and new blood into the man.
aoement Of our great business
enterprises.
There should be a law which
will confer upon the interstate
commerce commission the pow
er to superintend and regulate
financial operations by which
railroads henceforth are to be
supplied with money they need
for their proper development
Business Of the country awaits
more explicit legislative defini-
ton of the policy and meaning
Of existing antitrust laws. Bus

der the condemnation of the law
before IT can make sure just
what the law is.
Business men of the country
desire something more than
the menace of legal process.
They desire the advice, the def
mite guidance and information
which can be supplied by ar ad
mnistrative body, an interstate
trade commission.
For deliberate violation Of the
laws punishment should fall
not upon the business organiza-
ton, but upon those persons who
have made illegal use Of the or
eanization. Those on whose ini-
tiative the laws are violated
should be Invested of their cor.
porate cloak and dealt with as
individuals.

ANOTHER EXODUS
FROM JAP ISLE
Two Eruptions and Quakes
Cause Terror.
VOLCANOES ARE STILL ACTIVE
Blue Jackets Rescue Sixteen Persons
Adrift in Sea Floating Pumiee-
stone-1o,ooo Are Believed
to Be Dead.

kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 20.--The
volcano Sakura-.Jima is again active,
two eruptions occurred accompanied
by a severe earthquake, causing the
collapse of many more buildings.
Numbers of the inhabitants of Kago-
shima who had returned again fed In
terror from the city. Ashes are fall
ing thickly.
The volcanoes continued very active
all Sunday and emitted great quanti-
ties Of stones and ashes. Numerous
explosions occurred and pois onous gas
es were elected, making breathing diff
ficult. The emperors envoy has found
it impossible TO make the trip around
Sakura-Jima. There has been some
footing here. The sea in the Gulf of
kagoshima seemed to be boiling and
the quantity of floating pumicestone
was SO great that it prevented naviga'
ton.
Bluejackets from the Japanese feet
discovered a native craft containing 10
refugees from Sakura who were in a
starving condition. They reported that,
owing to the floating masses Of pun
icestone and the high seas, they had
been unable to steer their boat and
had spent three days adrift at the mer-
cy of the elements and without a NOR
sci of food.
The geologist Okada is OF the opin-
ion that Sakura-Jima will continue in
eruption for a month.
About seventenths OF the island IL
desert OF lava and the remaining
land is In such hopeless condition
that it must be abandoned. Fifteen
hundred OF the 1000 houses on the
island were buried. The estimated
damage on this account is 100000.
How to deal with the islanders Is a
great problem. the professor says, but
evidently they must migrate.
Toxic, Jan. 20.-An indication that
the loss OF life on the Island OF SAX
IRA may be much larger than has been
supposed is given in report received
here from an official of the interior de-
partment sent TO kagoshima. lie re-
ports that 5000 out of Sakura's esti-
mated population of 1900 has been
accounted for.

BANK RESERVE FOR

Federal Body Hears Claims for

MANY BANKERS ARE HEARD
Forsan. Reynolds and Many Others
argue With Secretaries McAdoo
and Houston-Other Sections
Are Active.

Chicago ian. 20.--thicagos deslr-
ability as a location for the most i'm
portant of the regional banks was es'
tablished through the voluntary action
OF outside bankers and business men.
At the opening session of the hear
ing in the federal building before Will
liam G. McAdoo. secretary of the treas.
ury. and David S. Houston. secretary
of agriculture, verbal statements and
kilograms from business men from sur
rounding states showed that the great
est desire of the states involved was to
be included in the Chicago territory.
At the conclusion Of the days SEES
sions it was agreed by the experts who
had studied the situation that the linn
itations of this territory depended to
a great extent upon decision con-
corning the claims of Minneapolis and
St, Paul as site for regionaf bank
Bank for Minnesota.
Indications, based upon the informa-
ton placed in possession of the fed
eral officials here during the day, was
that either Minneapolis or st. Paul
would be given bank. The only ques'
ton was whether it would be a branch
OF the Chicago bank or an Independent
Institution.
In the event that an independent
bank is opened in one Of the twin
cities it is proposed by Chicago bank,

If it should be decided TO open in

the Chicago institution. the Chicago
territory may extend to the Rocky
mountains
Agree on Minimum.
There was one feature of the pend
ing national banking arrangement up.
on which practically all of the bank
ers heard thus far were agreed-that
only the minimum number Of regional
banks provided for under the federal
reserve act should be established. The
argument advanced to support this
view was that since the entire plan
was largely experimental and the loca
ton of the banks doubtful. 1t would be
better to permit the system to grow
under the demands of business rather
than to be started with a view to
meeting future growth
AT the conclusion OF the days SEES
sion Secretary Houston expressed
himself as well satisfied with the in
formation brought out by the bankers
and business men heard.
"Of course we have reached no
definite conclusions OF any sort con
corning the location of banks" said
he. 1T is our plan to keep our minds
open until after the hearings have
been concluded and then to go through
the entire stenographic record anc
base our recommendation upon the
information at hand"
