FEDERAL CONTROL HIS REMEDY WOULD REINCORPORATE ALL RAILWAYS UNDER AN ACT OF CONGRESS. Washington, March 26.—Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, in an inter- vilew, discussed the causes of Wall street distress, the evlls existing in railroad management and the rem- edies therefor and expressed the opin- fon that the states have exceeded thelr constitutional rights in some of the antirailroad legislation they have passed. “To my mind,” he said, “the most serfous and difficult phase of the sit- uation and the greatest menace to the needed development of our railroad systems is the hostile attitude of the states. Serious trouble is likely to arise unless by some means tolerably harmonious action as between federal and state authorities can be brought about. “Manifestly such control as the states may continue to exercise must be subordinated to that larger control which belongs to the federal govern- ment. For this reason I have long believed that actual control by the National Government, under well considered laws, a control which satisfies the demands of inter- state commerce, will tend strongly to restrain the legislative activities of states within proper limitations. If federal authority is feeble and easily evaded attempts constantly will be made to remedy defects by state laws, often ill considered and drastic.” Mr. Knapp ‘was asked to state ex- plicitly exactly what remedy he had in mind. “The reincorporation of our rail- roads under an act of congress,” he said, “or some plan of federal license such as has been proposed, although it would not limit the actual power of the states, nevertheless, as a practical matter, would have a patent influence in preventing improper legislation hy the states and bring state laws into harmony with national mws. More- over, I am inclined to anticipate such adjudications by our supreme court as cases arise in the future that will greatly restrict the practical field of state control.” FREDERICK DRISCOLL DEAD. Minnesota Newspaper Man Expires at Chicago. St. Paul, March 26.—Frederick Driscoll, aged ‘seventy-two, a prom- inent figure in St. Paul for forty years, is dead in Chicago of a complication of liver and stomach complaints.

Wheelock in the Press. He remained with the Press, later the Pioneer Press, until 1899. At that time he left St. Paul to become labor commissioner of the American Publishers’ association in Chicago, where he had been located ever since. Frederick Driscoll was prominently identified with state as well as city affairs. For two years he was state printer and was chairman of the state central committee in 1867. He was a leading member of the St. Paul cham- ber of commerce; having been elected vice president in 1881. HIGHEST IN YEARS. Red River Inundates Farms and Causes Much Damage. Fargo, N.
