FULL PLANS NOT GIVEN Or la In Ix-grre of Centrallxatlon of Intercut Neoea ry but There Should B Goernruent Su pervision Sj Report. WASHINGTON. Jan. Z. "Tie mere J breaking up of larce combinations Into a number of separate parts by no mean meets the whole trust quenlon. are Secretary Nagel. f t'' 1,,p"' mnt of Commerce and Labor. In bis Knnual report trnniltld today to 1'reaidmt Taft. Screlrv Nagfl declares that tl: Shrn:n Uw Ims been proved to be an effective statute beyond all doubt ami that a decree of combination of capital la quit nrceaanry. but be adda that the Supreme Court decisions In the stand ard Oil and tobacco cases nave demon strated Uial Uia next step In the con trol of ureal Induatrtal corporation will ba the creation of a permanent Federal acency. How such control ahall be exercised, whether by commission. Federal Incor poration or other means, which hava l.een advocated recentlv by Judge El bert II. Gary. George W. Perkins and other financier before the Senate com mtttee which has been conducting- hear ings to determine what changes would ba deslrabla In the antitrust laws. Sec retary Nagel does not definitely say. He favors, however, a development of tna powers and scope of the Bureau of Corporations. Sana famblaatUti eeaaary. "A certain degree of combination of capital la admittedly essential to tha carrying on of our great business enter prises." says Secretary NageL "To con trol properly such necessary combina tions we must hava soma Administra tive Federal office -or commission which shall make this work Its busl- nesa. "We must hava a permanent author ity which shall by steady and continu ous supervision and publicity aafe sruard the public Intert-sta and at tha same time allow full scope for neces sary and proper business efficiency and development. -The decisions of the Supreme Court In the Standard Oil and American To bacco Company casea have brought forcibly to the public attention a lact repeatedly presented In the reports of tMs department the Imperative need for the positive Administrative regula-tl-m of great Industrial corporation. "Tha recent decisions and reorgani zations which followed hava made It clear that another Imperative step re mains to be taken and that this Is the establishment, by appropriate legisla tion, of a broad system of supervision and publicity for all those industrial and commercial organizations engaged In Interstate and International business. "Whether this shall be done by means of Federal Incorporation or by a Fed eral office or commission exercising powers of regulation and supervision may be a secondary ciuestlon. The first consideration appears to be the estab lishment of permanent administrative publicity, regulation and supervision. The time I peculiarly ripe for such anion. Public opinion and the views f many corporation managers are as one." Secretary Nagel recommends that the Bureau of Corporations be developed to take up the form of supervision be suK-aesta. It would be but a logical expansion of the bureau' operations and policy, which, he says, have relied solely on publicity for the la.- eight years and have demonstrated beyond tiuestton what a system of permanent supervision can do. Year's Wera. Revlewe. Mr. Nigel's report In full deala with the years work In the many bureaus and divisions over which he presides. In connection with the immigration r service the secretary recommenus inn any amendments to the Immigration laws tend to relieve Immigrants of un rtue hardships without letting down the bars agsinst undesirables. Larger dis cretion should be lodged with officials, he thinks, to admit unfortunate mem ber of Incoming families where It Is shown that society would be protected ucalnst burden and danger. He recom mends also that examinations of Immi grant be made before tliey embark f.r this country and that the time for deporting confessed criminals be ex tended. Secretary Nasel refers In passing to recent criticism of the immigration eervlce. He says the bureau has en oeavored to obey the general mandate .f the law and relievo the Individual of hardship wherever the statute al lows It. I.laevla's Advice (.enL "In the meantime. Lincoln's advice nn1 renewed application." says the secretary, quoting the words. 'lf both factions, or neither, shall abuse you. jou will probably be about right. Be ware of being assailed by one and praised by the other." " one of the greatest operations of the year in Secretary Nagel a department was the completion of the ISth census. A very important Investigation on the cost of living Is now being carried on by the Bureau of Labor. 'The report promise to provide a basis for Intelli gent discussion of thla much-mooted question." says the secretary.

In spite of this definite assurance from Oiympla. the name of Pan Wea ver has been brought forward by men (loeely In touch with the state execu tive. E. O.

BUTCHER SHOOTS RIVAL IIl'MMCS COMPETITOR TARGET OFGRESIIAM IlKAlEi:. Robert fclmins, Angrrrtl at Insinua tions. That lie Is Thief. Goes on Rampage With Gun. ORESHAM. Or, Jan. J. (Special.) Robert Simms, one of the proprietors of the Slmms Bros.' meat market, of this place, shot at Albert Brown, pro prietor of the Gresham Market, at :.t0 tonight, inflicting a wound In his left aide and arm. Brown's condition Is not serious. Shortly before Christmas there was a season of housebreaking and petty thieving and Slmms received an anony mous letter telling him he wss suspect ted of committing these thefts and ad vkMng him to sbut up bis shop and leave town. The man believed that the proprie tor of the rival shop was responsible for the letter and he had been brood ing over It fur several days and drink ing heavily. He passed the entire af ternoon drinking and playing cards. About (:30 o'clock he went Into two or three stores. Later he visited bis shop and fired two or three shots at his brother's feet. As he started to leave he told his brother he was going to find Tom Hawkes. one of tbe proprietors of the Gresham Market. His brother Imme diately went out and found Hawkes and took him home to avoid trouble. From bis shop Slmms went to a gro cery store, where he threatened a num ber of people. From there be went to the Gresham Market, where he found Albert Brown. Brown was at the time answering a telephone call warning him to be on bis guard. Just as be hung; up the receiver Slmms fired a shot that passed through his arm and side. The wounded man fell on the floor behind the counter and Simms then fired another shot at him. which missed. A crowd outside the shop rushed up to Slmms and attempted to disarm him. In the scuffle the gun was discharged and the bullet shat tered a plate glass window. After a struggle he was overpowered and the City Marshal took him before Justice Rollins, who committed him to the County Jail, to be held to the grand jury under flOOO cash ba.iL. The shoot ing occurred about 6:30 o clock at Gresham and Slmms had had his pre liminary hearing and was In the Mult nomah County Jail by S:30. HOOK FIMHER OPPOSED PROTESTS GO FROM NEVADA A YD KENTUCKY. Views on Litigation Now Fending Involving Regulation of mil tics. Not Liked. RENO. Nev., Jan. S. Anticipating the nomination of Judge Hook to the Supreme Bench, the Nevada Railroad Commission tonight telegraphed to the Nevada Senators and Representa tives asking them to oppose the con firmation of the nomination. The Com mission "strongly urges" the nomina tion of Franklin K. Lane or. if not. says "some other broadly progressive man In sympathy with the people and not with special Interests" should be named. "We are authoritatively informed." the message reads in part. "that Judge Hook's sympathies are all with . the public service corporations In tho matter of their regulation. No man ' should be placed on the bench at this time whose views upon this all-important point are open to the smallest doubt." Opposition to Judge Hook. It is learned from one of the Commission ers, is baaed largely upon his decision In the Oklahoma rate case now' on ap peal to the Supreme Court. FRANKFORT. Ky. Jan. 2. The Kentucky Railroad Commission has entered a protest against the appoint ment of Judge Hook, ot Kansas, to the vacancy on the Supreme Court Bench because ho "has expressed opinions adverse to questions now pending be fore the Supreme Court involving liti gation of supreme Importance to the rights of the states and Jurisdiction of the State Railroad Commissions." Fire Marshal's Pay Nominal. rORTLAXD. Jan. i. (To the Editor.) Please pardon me for asking a lit tle more space. I simply wish to cor rect an error which crept Into my let ter of yesterday concerning Fire Mar shal Roberts. By some mistake, prob ably by the printer. I was made to say that Mr. Roberts draws a salary of $100 a month from the city. As a matter of fact, he draws $1 a month, or, more strictly speaking, about S3 cents a week from the ctty. His salary Is paid by the underwriters at San Francisco. Tills probably explains why he Is so active In trying to drive the oil In dustry out of Portland, as I explained In my first letter. M. G. THOKSEN. Mr. Roberts serves as a fire marshal only by appointment as a special of ficer by the Chief of the Fire Depart ment, and Is paid $1 a month to make the appointment legal, as are all other special policemen appointed under au thority of the city.

Speaking- of the legal battle ahead of him In the criminal courts of this city, Tveltmoe declared that It would be a "fight to a- finish." "I will carry It to the Supreme Conrt of the United States, If necessary," he said. "I am not worried about the money for the legal battle." he said. In re sponse to a query as to a fund being provided by labor unions. "So far as a fund Is concerned. I am entirely care free. I still live by my boyhood's mot to: 'Never beg bread from a friend nor ask mercy from an enemy.' I have al ways lived by my own strength, and when I can't do that I'll be ready to die: I'll be glad to die." When told that Detective Burns in Indianapolis today bad said he ex pected soon to collect from him a re ward of $7500 which he offered in be half of the State Building Trades Council for the arrest of the persons guilty of causing the Los Angeles Times explosion, Tveltmoe said: "I don't know anything about Burns' anticipations, doings or movements. When the facta are presented to me I shall lay them before the proper offi cials of the State Building Trades Council." Furuseth Believes la Inaocenee. Tveltmoe said that since his arrest he had received many letters and tele grams from friends throughout the United States. He showed the following from Andrew Furuseth. president of the Seamen's Union, at Washington, D. C. saying It was a good specimen. "Profoundly astonished by reading of your arrest, I assure you of my com plete belief In your Innocence and my faith In your speedy release. Happy and successful New Tear in your work for Improving the lot of those who are heavy-laden." Johannsen said he did - not know whether he would hold a conference with E. A. Clancy, ot San Francisco, also Indicted, when he arrived In the northern city. He said that because of Clancy's heart trouble, no person was allowed to discuss the Indictment with him. "The political ambitions of the prose cution make any statement It may give to the press very unreliable," Johann sen added. "God help the worklngman who must be tried by the newspapers." Munsey, who said he expected to re main In Los Angeles at least until January 12, the time for him to plead, said: "I have always played the labor game on the level I am going to let the other fellow talk."

He suffers from heart trouble and physicians have or dered that he be not disturbed. Clancy, however, dictated a statement today to his wife, who gave It out. It reiterates that he has made no "confession" to anyone. "Oscar Lawler tried to force me into telling him something when I was in Los Angeles," says the statement. "He tried to browbeat me and he tried to lead me into a trap." Of the authorities there the sick man says: "They were very brutal."
