“WHEN SHALL WE THREE MEET AGAIN? er = Minn tao JOURMHAL PROGRAM OUTLINED PRESIDENT TAFT PLANS TO PUT, POLICIES OF PREDECES- | SOR IN FORCE. | OPPOSED BY CORPORATIONS. The Bill for Federal Control Meets | With Disfavor of the Moneyed In-| terests—Not Intention of Adminis- tration to Press the Measure, Washington, Feb. 8.—With the in- | troduction of the federal incorporation bill in the house and senate President Taft has now before the country his | vomprehensive plans for putting into effective force. the Roosevelt policies. | With the interstate commerce bills | already introduced and the federal in- corporation bill all enacted into laws | the president believes there will be at hand adequate facilities for regulat- ing the ec ions not only in the| public inter but for the legitimate | benefit of the corporations themselves, | It is not the7intention of the presi: | dent at this time to press the federal | incorportation bill to passage, This | bill simply outlines his plan and | sounds his scheme for corporation | control, But as it is not one of the} meas pledged in the Republican nattonal platform he will not make it a part of his legislative program at this time, though he will not be averse to the passage of the law at the pres- ent session of congress if that can be brought about. Before the expirattion | of his term however, he will do his ut- | most to have the federal incorporation | bill placed in the statute books. At} present he feels that he has taken a} forward step in placing the bill before | congress and the country and what- | ever opinion may be expressed about | it now the president believes as the | bill is studied its provisions will ap- peal to the people, | It is learned that the president has | already heard from the corporations | on the subject of the bill. They are | opposed to it. Definite information to this effect has been conveyed to the | president by George W. Perkins, | partner of J. P. Morgan, and Frank | Vanderlip, president of the National | City bank, | “It does not relieve us from the burdens of the Sherman anti-trust law,” is the plaint of the corporations. | Rut as it was not the purpose of) the president, In formulating the pro posed law, to lessen in any way the rigors of the Sherman anti-trust law, he is not impressed by this plea, At the same time the president believes | that even the corporations will event- ually come around to an attitude in favor of the measure, The two chief features of the act, in the view of the president are the, clause which forbid absolutely any | corporation holding stock in any other corporation, and that which pro- vides forfeiture of the national charter | in the event that the corporation is found to be violating any of the laws. These two provisions have been drawn with a direct purpose of meet: | ing the objections of the progressives | and, as was observed, they give the! bill teeth sharp enough to please the most aggressive of the senators. j Two Rivers Not Navigable. | Washington, Feb. 8.—A bill declar- ing the Nodaway and One Hundred | and Two rivers in Missouri non-navi- | gable streams were passed by the senate. The purpose of this legisla-| tion is to enable farmers to protect | their lands by river improvements. They have been unable to do this work because the rivers as navigable waterways have been under the super- vision of the war department. Mr. Taft to Visit Chicago. Washington, Feb. 8.—President Taft | will celebrate St. Fatrick’s day with) the Irish in Chicago. He has accepted | an invitation of the Good Fellowship | club of that city. The president re} quested Representative Mauden of af | year. | eagle feather fan. FIRES CAUSE GREAT LOSS EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR Government Officials Estimate the Amount at $1,500,000 Daily— 1,449 Lives Annually. Washington, Feb. 8.—Fire, stoler from heaven by Prometheus, accord ing to ancient Greek mythology, and as a blessing brought by him to earth in a hollow reed after Zeus had de prived mankind of it, levies upon Americans each year an enormous ta» caleulated by United States govern ment officials at almost a million and a half dollars a day and 1,449 lives a As avresult of an investigation just concluded by officials of the United States geological survey it has been ascertained that cheaper fire proof materials can be used to advan tage in construction, that three to six times the necessary amount of ma- terial is habitually used in structural work in the United States, that the building codes are laxly enforced, that the fire loss in the United States is eight times as much per capita as in any country in Europe and that the great fire waste in the United States is due principally to the predominance of frame buildings and to defective construction and equipment. Contrast between the small losses by fire to government buildings and the immense losses reported from the country as a whole led the geological survey to make an inquiry as to fire losses in the United states and as to their exact cost to the people. Tests to determine the strength and fire resistance of building materials are still being made by the survey, and al- though these tests are designed prt marily to meet the needs of the gov- ernment as the largest consumers, their results are available to anyone for general use TO BEGIN HASKELL HEARING Oklahoma Legislative Committee to Hold Its Sessions in Old Senate Chamber, Guthrie, Ok. Feb, 8—The special legislative investigating committee has announced that the hearing of Gov. C. N. Haskell of Oklahoma, al- leged, by his enemies, to have mis appropriated state funds, will begin Wednesday morning, in the old senate | chamber of the down-town state house, The charges against various other of- ficers and boards will also be taken up. Gov, Haskell is charged in a sworn complaint filed by Representative Lester A, Maris of Ponca City, Kay county, with misappropriating $3,300 of public funds to pay C. A. Lawler, private detective, for personal work done for the governor; of misappro- priating $250 In another case for per al investigations In Ohio and Mich- igan; of maintaining a Washington correspondent, at $100 per month, out of state funds, and of misappropriat- ing $500 to W. T. Hutchins, a Musko- gee attorney, and joint defendant with the governor in the townlot cases, Curtis Introduced the Kaws. Washington, Feb. 8—Senator Cur- tis of Kansas introduced to President Taft eight Kaw Indiars. In honor of the occasion the braves were attired in gorgeous native costume, One car- ried a shining tomahawk, while anoth- er fanned himself vigorously with an Altogether, the In- dians made the gayest picture seen at the White house for some time. C. C. Dickinson is Sworn in, Washington, Feb. 8—Clement C. Dickinson took the oath as member of the house from the Sixth Missouri dis- trict. Mr. Dickinson was elected at a special election last week to fill the | vacancy caused by the death of Rep resentative DeArmond. A Prison Bankers’ Colony Grows. Leavenworth, Kan., Feb. 8—Andrew H. Jones, formerly a national banker at Fargo, N. D., was brought to the federal penitentiary. The banker colony now numbers 31. Mr. Jones Was convicted of violating the nation- TUE TOO MANY AMERICANS ARE BE- ING PRESENTED AT WIL- HELM’S COURT. GENTLE HINT TO AMBASSADOR Or. Hill Embarrassed Because Forced to Introduce So Many of His Coun- trymen to the Emperor—At Request of President Taft. Washington, Feb. 8.—An unofficial report from Berlin that Ambassador David Jayne Hill had been embar- tassed by the number of Americans he had been forced to present to the emperor, when called to the attention of state department officials. was re ceived apparently with some doubt. That Dr. Hill had presented so many americans as to occasion a veil ed request from an officer of the im- perial court that the number hereafter be limited was received as a state- ment of alleged fact that might or might not be true, but that Dr. Hill, in presenting compatriots, is acting un- der compulsion by President Taft, is considered doubtful. A statement cannot be obtained from the White house. It is explained, hawever, that presentations are made at the discretion of the diplomatic representative of the country from which the person desiring to be pre- sented hails. This was the case in re- gard to Minister Egan’s presentation of Dr. Cook to the King of Denmark. Though no one will deny in set terms that President Taft has personally re- quested that certain personages from this country be presented, the sug: gestion that such requests have been made to an embarrassinb extent is scouted. The published report from Berlin is to the effect that at the last court Dr. Hill presented more of his compatriots than the rest of the diplomatic corps combined. Subsequently, it is said, the marshal of the court hinted that presentations be restricted as much as possible, and in the correspondence arising over the incident Dr. Hill is said to have taken the position that he was only acting on instructions from the president. A KANSAS IRRIGATION SCHEME A Morton County Man on His Way to Washington to Confer With Government Official. Topeka, Feb, 8.—-R. A. Worthington of Richfield, Morton county, was in Topeka on his way to Washington for a conference with reclamation officials reganiing a proposed irrigation scheme for Morton county. ~.e resi- dents of the county have had some preliminary surveys made and they believe that by constructing a dam across the Cimmarron river near the west line of the county that sufficient water can be stored In the winter to supply irrigation ditches covering practically the entire county and mak- ing the whole county, now mostly a cattle range, a garden, The citizens of the whole county have signed’a petition asking the gov- ernment to construct the dam, canals and laterals under the reclamation act as the residents have not sufficient funds to do the work. The farmers owning the land benefited would pay for the plant in a certain number of years, Mr. Worthington will ask the recla- mation officials to make the surveys at once. Gov. Stubbs will also ask the government for help in the pro- ject. THEY WANT A COAT OF ARMS Oklahoma “Women of Ejighty-Nine” Are Looking for an Emblamatic Design.
