TOO MUCH LEGISLATION
SEEN AS GRAVE MENACE
Legislatures Currying Fseeting
Popular Whim Criticized by
Houston Hall Lecturer

There is too much legislation, much OF
which is railroaded through in obedience
to some popular whim, according to John
J. sullivan. an attorney, who delivered an
address on The Study of Corporation Law
this afternoon at Houston Hall
He pointed TO the necessity Of corpora
tions, and said that the people will realize
that they suffer themselves when unjust
attacks are made upon such bodies.
Business men, he asserted, go on making
blunders which an elementary knowledge
of corporation law would enable them to
avoid,
Mr. sullivan dwelt at length upon the
high qualifications required by the success
full business man of today, as compared
with those Of years ago. and then touched
upon the laws which often obstruct instead
of furthernG progress. In this connec-
ton he said.
we are suffering from too much legis-
lation, and from legislation which is rail-
roaded through in obedience to some
transient popular whim without study
of existing rules or knowledge Of
the business conditions which will he
affected by II. The old Jeffersonian prin-
ciple that that nation is best governed which
is least governed has been abandoned for
the principle that that nation is best gov
erned which is most governed. The constitu-
ttonal bulNarKs OF nDerty anu property
which were built by the fathers In the early
days of this country at a result OF the
tyrannical encroachments of the English
Government are needed more than ever to-
day,
For today in many of our States the
legislative and the executive branches OF
government are currying temporary popular
favor by adding TO the drastic laws and rul
ings under which a continually heavier
burden of taxes and requirements for item
ized reports and accounts and minute regu
lations for the conduct of business is laiC
upon the corporations. say temporary
poular favor because, in the end. the peo
| ple will realize that they suffer themselve
| when an unjust attack is made upon cor
norations. Corporations are simply the up
| to-date ways and means OF doing business
| and to treat them unjustly Is to hampe
business and to injure the people as
| whole"

BRITISH SHIP ARRIVES
WITH CHINESE CREW
Presence of Celestials Shows
Difficulty of Obtaining
English Sailors

The arrival in this port today of the
British steamship Lingan with crew OF
thirty-hve Chinese sailors gives rise to the
belief tnat English shipping interests are
having a hard time obtaining men to man
their ships since the Inauguration of the
ruthless submarine campaign
The Lingan arrived in Delaware Bay yes
terday and docked at Pier A, Port Rich
mond where she will take on general
cargo, mostly foodstuffs. before returning
TO England.
Furness, Withy & Co. the local agents for
the ship are taking every precaution against
the escape of any OF the Celestial crew be-
cause of a penalty of $500 for each one
that is not accounted for when the vessel
clears watchmen have been placed around
the entire vessel
The Lingan put in at Halifax before
coming here. A floating spar in mid
ocean caused submarine scare and the
Chinamen made for the boats. Captain
Bailey soon convinced them of their mis-
take, however, and the incident was for
gotten Captain Bailey declared the voyage
was without incident otherwise
Two Norwegian ships with Chinese crews
are now in this port. The Falkland from
Manchester, now at Point Breeze, has a
crew of tweuty-six Chinese and the Tela
at Port Richmond has a crew of twenty
seven Orientals The captains of these
steamers say they had to take them on be-
cause OF the shortage of white sailors.

vivors Of the raid continued to ply their
trade of extracting money from the gull
libe.
II is an easy mission to learn something
about the future from these bronze-com.
pIexioned gypsy maidens and their mothers
They viii talk to you about the future
long as you wish. The onIy qualifications
that the anxious woman, man, youth or
child must possess is that of being the
owner of plenty of paper money pocket
full Of quarters or dimes, however, will
answer the purpose.
If the only evidence required to arrest
the gypsy fortune telers is to have them
tell something about the future the police
would have an easy time.
The future of an EVENING LEDGER re-
porter was discussed follows by n gypsy
fortune teller in her studio" at 3l2 North
Second street:
You will be happy before March Is.
You will be married real soon.
You will have two children-a boy
and girl
You will he very rich.
The dark-eyed gypsy woman at 3l2 North
Second street had something more to say
about the future when second representa-
tive of the EVENING LEDGER called. Here
Is the future as conveyed to the reporter by
the same seer
You are going to get letter within
the next few days.
If you remain in your present position
you will have bad luck.
You must travel or go away in order
TO have good luck.
But should the police meet with no sue
cess at the North Second street studio"
they might select the place at 927 Ridge
avenue Here the future also will be fore
cast willingly and without asking
RIDGE AVENUE sEERESs
reporters future at the Ridge avenue
place was explained as follows
You will live to be eighty-three years
old.
You will he married twice.
You will have trouble with your first
wife.
You will have an illness which may
cause your death.
Instead of becoming alarmed by exposure,
the gypsy seeresses are continuing their
business They are calling passershy to
enter their places. Another signal is TO
knock on the store window with the fake
ruby which is encased in a copper ring the
women folks wear
The gypsy fortune-telling business Is
spreading th>oughout the city. Merchants
and others feel its growth.
South Philadelphia had dozens OF these
"studios" where the innocent leave behind
from ten cents 10 seNehty-HNe uollars anu
more.
A recent case was that of Mrs Enz, l3C
| Wldey street She gave one of the gypsy
| fortune telIers seventy-five dollars. She
! alleged that she had been ieeced she
! complained to the detective bureau anc
City Hall Detectives Charles Beckman ano
| Frank Freund were assigned to the case.
Both of these detectives have made Q
| specially of gypsy cases and know more
| about the movements of gypsies than any
| other detective.
THE gyses are a menace TO the city,
! said Detective Beckman They are in
! sanitary and they can't be trusted"
