They claim it is a measure to set up a govern- ment inquisition over business, con- fining it to that conducted by cor- porate organizations. One all-suf- ficient objection to it is that it would be cumbersome and expen- sive, would not be confined to af- fording a useful measure of public- SPEECH, WHICH AROUSED IN* DIGNATION, READ TODAY Was Submitted, Without Any Com* aAlD (N LONDON ity for corporate activity, entirely left to official discretion.

IN PEOPLE'S HANDS New York, March 25.—The re- port that the American Express (Company, in line with other express companies, has accountants at work upon its books with a view toward ascertaining the value of the com- pany's assets if liquidation should be decided on, has been strongly de- nied. F. F. Flagg, vice president of the company, announced that so far as he knew such an action was ‘“very far away.” The future of the express companies is now in the hands of the shippers. Many ship- pers have already come forward with demands that the private car- riers be preserved from the destruc- tion which is threatening them by further extension of the parcel post system, on the ground that their ser- vices are essential to the welfare of the country. The position of the companies is now plain to the gen- eral public. SCENES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES New York, March 25.—The Woman Suffrage party opened to- day a ‘cosmopolitan fete” or carni- val, where suffragists from every part of the city have gathered to give a gigantic spectacle in which is to be included “all nations of the world."” Villag in the architecture peculiar to every foreign country have been built, anq in each will stand the suffragists in charge of that booth, dressed in the costume of the country. The directors of the: Woman Suffrage party are the managers of the fete. The list of patronesses shines with names of women who have achieved distine- tion, among whom are Dr. Kathe- rine Davis, Mrs. \alter Damrosch, Mrs. William . Demordst. Miss Caroline Duer, Miss Fola LaFollette and Mrs. Amos Pinchot, TO AVOID LIBEL SUITS London, March 25.—The queer notice publisheq by George R. Sims, the playwright, mentioned today as the last on which he would pay at- tention to those who had any ob- jections to make to the list of names which he intended using in his new drama, which will be produceq in the fall. English authors have been much worried recently by law suits instituted by persons whose names have figured in their stories, and who declare that on that ac- count they have been held up to public ridicule, odium and con- tempt. To prevent these libel cases and get around the statutes Mr. Sims published a full list of the names he intends using and asked that “all and sundry bearing the aforesaid name or names, legally and lawfully, or by common repute, should communicate with me in writing on or beiore March 25, or forever after hold their peace.” It Is believeq this is the first time such notice has ever been printed. =
