SENATOR KNOX MAKES EFFORT
Claims to be Pioneer Government
Official in Work of Bringing Trans
portation Companiea Under the
Control of the Government
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. 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
