ADAMSON BILL IS DELAYED
Physical Valuation for Big Corpor
ations Once Near Vote.
Washington, D. C. An amendment
offered by Republican Leader Mann,
proposing a rigid regulation of the is
suance of stocks and bonds, prevented
passage by the house of the Adamson
bill that would authorize a special
commission to ascertain the physical
valuation of railroads and other inter
state carriers with the view of aiding
the Interstate Commerce commission
in fixing equitable freight rates.
Debate on the bill, which was favor
ably reported by the interstate and
foreign commerce committee at the
last session, had been in progress
nearly five hours and a vote was about
to be taken when Mr. Mann moved
that the measure be sent back to the
committee with instructions that it be
reported with his proposed section
added. After an extended debate on
a point of order against the amend
ment, the matter went over by
unanimous consent.
Mr. Mann's amendment would pre
scribe in detail how an interstate car
rier should incur indebtedness and
would prohibit the issuance of stocks,
bonds or notes except in return for
money or other consideration approved
by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion.
With a permanent corps of experts
inquiring into the value of carriers
property, ahe proposed law would
make it possible for the Interstate
Commerce commission to fix rates on
the basis of profits to be realized on
actual investments instead of on paper
valuations.
TAFT'S NOMINEES OPPOSED
Senate Democrats Show Desire to
Prevent Confirmation.
Washington, D. ;C President Taft
sent more than 200 recess appoint
ments to the senate Wednesday, and
immediately indications of a move
ment among some of the Democratic
senators to prevent their confirmation
became evident. Senatore Gore, it
was said, would have the active sup
port of several colleagues in holding
the movement.
The campaign is directed specially
against nominations which had been
postponed from time to time, thus
bringing the new terms close to the
beginning of the Democratic adminis
tration. Democratic senators contend
the president already has deprived the
Democrats of the privilege of appoint
ing 50,000 postmasters by placing
them within the civil service law by a
single order.
Most of the Democratic senators ex
pressed themselves as favorable to a
"discriminating obstruction," but sev
eral "progressive" senators, whose
assistance had been counted on, did
not appear to be willing to co-operate,
it is said.
RAILROAD PAYS LARGE FEE
Illinois Receives $110,885 From
Burlington Under Protest.
Springfield, 111. One of the largest
fees ever received into the state treas
ury was paid under protest Wednesday
by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad company. A check for $110,
885 was paid to Secretary Doyle as a
fee for an extension for 50 years of
the road's charter in this state. At
torneys for the railroad contend the
road is operating under a perpetual
charter, but to be on the safe side
they decided to take advantage of the
recent act of the legislature allowing
corporations the right to extend their
charters 50 years.
The law in question is silent on the
subject of fees in connection with such
extensions, but the secretary of Btate
held they must be paid.
Attorneys for the railroad have
given notice that action will be insti
tuted in the Supreme court to recover
the fee.
Marshall Lauds Cooks.
Indianapolis "Good cooks are more
necessary than governors," said Gov
ernor Marshall in his address before
the Indianapolis Council of Women.
I think there is no one in this world,
aside from my wife, that is more com
petent than my cook. I think she is
well educated. I don't suppose she
would be received at many of the so
cial functions, but she does her work
as it should be done. Any working
man in this city doing honest work is
more important to this state than the
governor of Indiana."
"Arson Trust" Unearthed.
Madison, Wis. An "arson trust,"
which is charged with having caused
the destruction of $1,000,000 worth of
property, has been discovered by Wis
consin State Fire Marshal Purtell, he
said. Warrants have been issued for
the arrest of several of the principal
alleged offenders, most of whom, the
state officers said, lived outside of
Wisconsin. Investigation of a hotel
fire in Waukesha last winter is said to
have exposed the alleged offenders.
Only Woman Nurse Is 111.
Constantinople The Turkish Red
Crescent has collected and spent $325,

fortunately, the Red Crescent society

As a result of overwork. Miss Alt,
who at one time was the only woman
attendant in the cholera camp at San

she is suffering from cholera.
TARIFF QUESTION
IS POSTPONED
President Would Leave Issue
for New Congress.
Greater Navy Advised Autonomy
for Philippines Opposed
Currency Reform.
FEATURES OF MESSAGE.
President Taft's principal recom
mendations in his message to con
gress were:
The plan of currency reform out
lined by the monetary commission.
Amendment of the law to lessen
the penalty when corporations inad
vertently disobey the corporation
tax law.
Congressional approval of plan of
army reorganization prepared by
the war college last spring.
The passage of the military pay
bill increasing compensation to mil
itia in the field.
Citizenship without statehood for
Porto Rico.
Regualtion of water'power grants
so that navigable streams might be
improved by water power com
panies. Elevation of Colonel Goethals,
builder of the Panama canal, to a
major generalship.
A return to the policy of two bat
tleships a year by the appropria
tions for three battleships this
year.
Authority to the United States
Supreme court to make rules of pro
cedure in common law cases in Fed
eral court to expedite and lessen
the cost of litigation.
He disapproves the following:
Autonomy and independence in
eight years for the Philippines.
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law.
The president made no recom
mendations for tariff revision, say
ing he would leave that subject to
the incoming congress.
u
Washington, D. C President Taft
will make no further effort to have
congress reduce the tariff. In a "gen
eral" message to congress the presi
dent clearly indicated his intention of
leaving further tariff revision to Wil
son and the congress just elected.
"Now that a new congress has been
elected on a platform of tariff for rev
enue only rather than a protective tar
iff and is to revise the tariff on that
basis," said the president, "it is need
less for me to occupy the time of con
gress with arguments or recommenda
tions in favor of a protective tariff."
This message, the second submitted
by the president since the present ses
sion began, will be his last of a gen
eral character. It dealt with every
department of the government except
the State department, recommended
much of the legislation which the
president previously had urged upon
the attention of congress, and took up
and discussed at length several sub
jects comparatively new.
Storm Sweeps Great Lakes.
Chicago A raging sea, with treach
erous squalls and shifting winds, im
periled several lake boat3 bound for
Chicago Saturday and swept away the
last vestige of hope that the three
masted schooner Rouse Simmons and
its cargo of Christmas trees would sail
safely into JChicago's harbor with its
hardy crew of 16 men. The roaring
waters were driven by a 50-mile gale
that first burst upon Lake Michigan in
all its fury from the northwest,
Rayner Leaves Million.
Baltimore The value of the estate
of the late Senator Rayner will ap
proximate $1,000,000. This will be
shown when the senator's will is filed
next week for probate. The property
is divided equally between the widow
and the son, William B. Rayner, a por
tion being left in trust. The senator
left to the widow and son the right to
make such charitable bequests as they
may see fit, saying in the body of the
will that their judgment would enable
them to act in accordance with what
would have been his ideas.
Illiteracy Test Favored.
Washington, D. C. Early action in
the house on the Burnett immigration
bill, presenting an illiteracy test, is
predicted by Chairman Burnett, of the
immigration committee, who an-1
nounced that the rules committee was ,
prepared to bring in a special rule un
der which the bill could be passed,
when it would not interfere with ap
propriation bills. He asserted that at
pledged to vote for the measure.
Wolves Attack Cattle.
Steamboat Springs, Colo. Heavy
