Xeooounrad Vw laws.
Representative Young , of Michigan,
the ranking Republican member of the
Stanley committee, will recommend In
his' report that congress shall pass a
federal Incorporation act. He is Joined
in this recommendation by Representa
tives Gardner of Massachusetts, Bterllng
of Illinois and DanforMi of New York,
but the three latter are opposea to ine
extension of the law to the fixing of
maximum prices,' -agreetng with the
Democrats that this is seml-Soclallstlc.
In their conference today Chairman
Stanley and Representative Littleton
fought out the Democratic differences
-and reached aa-the basis Jif agreement
these conclusions:
FUn of Operation.
First That there shall be an abso
lute divorce and separation of common
carriers from manufacturers.
Second -That, the Sherman law should
be changed to allow individuals to se
cure Injunctions by . bills in equity
against all alleged violators of the Sher
man law by which they claim to be
Injured. This prohibits the president
of the United States from dictating to
the attorney general the withdrawal of
pending suits against corporations, or
non-institution of suits against them
under the fiherman law. In pther words,
It is Intended to take from the execu-
live ine eiciuBivo vjwimw, .
tlation or conclusion of anti-trust pro
ceedings as applied to individual com
plaints. Third That the commissioner of cor
porations shall be required -to report to
the house as well as to the president the
results of all investigations into all al
leged violations by corporations of th
Sherman anti-trust law, and that here
after no bureau shall be commissioned
by congress, which shall report solely
to the president.
Conffress Without Power.
As the law stands, congress may only
receive reports of the result of Investi
gation . by the bureau 'of corporations
when submitted through the president
and with his consent, and no power
vests in congress under the constitu
tion to force the president to make a
report.
All day long Chairman Stanley and
Representative Littleton, representing
the divergent views among the Demo
crtta of the committee as to the char
actor of tho report to be made, threshed
out their differences. Mr. Littleton In
stated that no political consideration
should form a part of the recommenda
tions to be made to the house.
The Stanley tentative report la ac
cepted by the Democrats as a basis for
th actual findings of the ccmmlttee
"when its report t made publlo next
wetk.
Bill Still Wot ApproTed.
Theie has been no agreement among
the Democrats as to the character of
tin, remedial action they will recom
lr.trul, but tho final text of the bill re
nin Ins to be approed.
As heretofore announced by the In
terns tionnl News Service and verified
by tho committee today, there will be

that it was the desire of Colonel Roose
velt to have a "clean sweep" ticket.
"Colonel Roosevelt," said Dixon,
"wants to make the whole fight in
Michigan or not at all. People through
out the country are demanding a new
party and they shall have It."
It was feared there would be aflght
on the floor of the convention over this
point. Frank W. Knox, former west
ern manager for Roosevelt, was advocat
ing the "stub" ticket plan, but after
Dlx6n explained Roosevelt's attitude,
Knox said he was satisfied so long as
Roosevelt electors were chosen and Gov
ernor Osborne was endorsed.
The resolutions adopted today con
tain all of the Roosevelt Ideas and de

Senator Dixon addressed the conven
tion this afternoon, A laugh and a
round of applause followed his reference
to the candidncy of Governor Wilson
as a "rose blo&somlng on the refuse
pile."
A demonstration lasting five minutes
followed the statement of Chairman J.

meeting was the result of a "eall from
the American people."'
State Senator L. Whitney Watkins re

"My story has never been told," said
Echmlti tonight.
"It Is my purpose to give to the pub
lie for the first time a true story of
what led up to the graft prosecution,
and a true statement of the facts that
developed during the prosecution and
of what occurred afterward.
"My purpose Is not to villlfy anyone.
My book will show the methods em
ployed by the socalled graft prosecu
tion, and show the motives that in
spired those behind the prosecution.
"For Instance, I shall relate, and prove
it by records, that the men behind the
movement were prompted by the desire
to get control of the municipal govern
ment. In "proof of this statement I
will produce records of conversations
records that were taken down when the
conversations occurred showing that
after my return from Europe in 190U,
the proposition was made to me to
leave the city and stay away, and that
I was made the promise that there would
be no prosecution of me if I would agree
to do. this."

the Willamette valley mills ship to the
