Presid ent Roosevelt, in his recent message to Congrett, strongly recommends additional legislation to make effect ive the anti-trust laws. He says: "Not only should there be action on certain laws affecting wage earner; there should also be auch action on law better to secure control over the great businett concern engaged in interitate commerce, and especially over the great common carrier." ; The recommendation of the Presid ent is quiet likely to be carried into effect during the present Congress, and, if legislation i undertaken along this line, Senator Philander C. Knox, of Pennsylvania, will have an import ant part in it. Senator Knox was the pioneer government official in the work of bringing the transportation corporations under federal control and it conceded to be the best inform' ed man in the country upon the sub ject It was Mr. Knox, then Attorney General, who, in 1902, recommended to Congress that in respect to rail road rebates, a penalty should be im posed upon the incorporated carrier and the beneficiary alike, and that the rights of the courts to restrain such practice at the suit of the United States should be provided for in new legislation. He recommended that it should be made unlawful to trans port traffic by carrier subject, to the "Act to Regulate Commerce," and "at any rate less than such carrier's published rate," and that all who par ticipated in the violation of such laws should be punished. He recommend ed that comprehensive plans should be framed to enable the Government to secure all the facts bearing upon the organization and practice engaged in interstate and foreign commerce essential to a full understanding thereof. He recommends the act to suspend the final decision of cases under the anti trust law. All of these cases were promptly acted upon and became laws before the expiration of that session of Congress. , The act to expedite the hearing and determination of suits under the anti trust and interstate commerce acts was pasted Feb. 11, 1903. Under its provisions the Northern Securities case was set down for argument be fore the circuit judges of the Eight Circuit and argued in March, 1903. On February 14, 1903, the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor was created and in that Department the Bureau of Corporations established, completing the government's power to make investigation into the organi zation, conduct, management and business of all corporationa engaged in interstate and foreign commerce. Along the line of his suggestions already indicated, and pursuant to others which he made Congress also amended the interstate commerce law by providing that anything done or omitted to be done by a corporate common carrier subject to the act, which if done by an employe thereof would constitute a misdemeanor under the law, should also be held to be a misdemeanor committed by such corporation; requiring every common carrier subject to the law to publish his tariff rates or charges, and to maintain them; making it unlawful for any person or corporation to offer, grant, or give, or to solicit, accept, or receive any rebate, concession or dis crimination in respect to the trans portation of any property in interstate or foreign commerce, whereby such property shall by any device whatever be transported at a less rate than the rate published by the carrier; and also making the rate published and filed with the interstate commerce commission the legal rate. , It provided also for the production of all books and papers, both by car riers and shipper, which directly or indirectly relate to the transactions, and the giving of testimony, whether such documents can incriminate the party or not. - The inseparable identification of Mr. Knox with all these measures is proven not only by the recommenda tions which he made from time to time, but by the fact that he prepared bill embodying every idea in the leg islation enacted, for the correction of the evils over which the government has gained its splendid triumphs. HOW THE TIGER KILLS. I have taken considerable) trouble t find out bow tigers kill large game Some time ago I wo asked to come and see a full grown bullock that had been killed by tiger, - On examining It I found the animal bad Its neck broken, and there were claw marks tn the nose and shoulder, but nowbert else. There was no doubt that; the tiger bad Jumped at the bull and land ed on the shoulder, and when tbe bull toned bis bead to gore the tiger he must have pnt bis claw out and with t sudden Jerk broken the neck. ; On another occasion I went to see young buffalo which had been killed by ft tiger and found the name thing bad happened. There were similar marks os the nose and also on the near shoul der, which clearly Indicated that this animal had been killed la the earn way. Malays who have actually seen tiger killing a buffalo told me tbej amw tbe same thing happen; also that la dragging off a heavy carcass, sue aa buffalo or bull, be gets most of th weight aeroet bis shoulder. ' This must be fairly correct, : as 1 have often followed a kill, and the marks left Indicate that only a portion of the animal was trailing along the ground. I have known a full grows boll, which ten men could not move, dragged for two miles by a tiger In a heavy Jungle, where roots of tree) and wamp had to be gone through. In nc ease have I seen the pug marks facing the wrong way except when stopping to feed, which proves he must carry e portion of the animal over his about der. , The old Idea of a tiger killing large game by a blow from his paw Is non sense; besides. In India a tiger nevet faces his prey, but attacks him on the Bank unless charged. Another curious fact that may seem very like a fairy tale Is that a tiger does not seem to mind a small lamp being tied over kill about ten feet high, but will come and feed. I have known three occa tons wtien oils has been tried, ana each time a tiger has come to feud Jtkk the Mrcass. Indori Field.' " I KDeuBiaiism ! Diabetes.
