commerce law-, the postal savings
banks and the measures designed for
the conservation of natural resources.
These latter were prominent in the
platform upon which the president
was elected and lie feels the party
is responsible for their passage at
this session.
Bill Goes to Committee.
The president believes that there
are many things in the bill that will
commend themselves to the legisla-
tors as they study the measure. He
will not attempt to influence sena-
tors or representatives in its favor,
however. The bill now- goes to the
judiciary committee of congress for
consideration.
Wall street interests, inclined at
first to look upon the idea.of a federal
charter with the utmost favor were
rather rudely awakened when it was
learned that the president would in-
sist that ift any bill passed on this
subject there should be included the
provision that nothing in the act
should be construed as exempting cor-
porations from the operation of the
anti-trust act. A great many corpora-
tions, it is said, were looking forward
to a federal charter as an indication
that past sins w-ere forgiven, provided
there were no more transgressions in
the future.
Frank D. Vanderlip and George W.
Perkins of Xew York who saw- the
president last, week, told him that, the
corporate interests w-ere anything but
pleased with the character of the pro-
posed measure and that few, if any,
corporations would take advantage of
the art.
Taft's Argument.
The president, it is understood, re-
torted that tlie act was a voluntary
one and that the corporations that
did not care to come under federal
control need not do so. He thought
in time, however, that the simplicity
of doing business throughout the coun-
try, once the provisions of the aci
were complied w-ith, w-ould appeal -to
corporations and that they would come

Mr. Tyler Pyne Declares
That William C. Proctor
Was Sorely Tried.
Princeton, X. J., Feb. 7.
Pyne, 77, chairman of the then grad-
uate schoo! committee of the board
of trustees of Princeton, issued a
statement today stating why William
C. Proctor, ’S3, of Cincinnati, with-
drew the gilt of a half million dollars
fof i he proposed graduate college.
Mr. Pyne's' statement in part fol-
lows:
compounded; that 10 per cent per an-
num is the highest rate allowed by
the state, whereas he has been.paying
100 per oent per annum, compounded
monthly; that he has paid the com-
pany $240.85 in all, $103.30 of which
was interest and that the company
still holds his notes for about $155.95
and claims that he owes $50.
Recover Double Interest.^
Aguilar claims that the law allows
him to recover double the amount of
l usurious interest which he has paid,
M Tyler! w7ticli would entitle him to $210.60.
! He also claims that all his remaining
indebtedness to the company should
be cancelled and that they should
be restrained from negotiating any
paper of his which they may have.
Suit for Damages.
G. J. Beil filed suit in the 34th dis-
trict court for $30,000 against the G.

Washington, Feb. 3, 1910.
“My-f)ear Mr. Marburg: •
"I beg t.o say to your guests that I
sympathize very strongly with I heir
object and believe that the proposed
organization is adapted to render a
great public service. I assume that
the new organization is to have a
definite, specific object which ntay he
indicated by emphasizing the word
judicial in Us title to indicate
a distinction between that kind of
settlement of international disputes
and the ordinary arbitration as has
been understood In the past and Is
understood now.
“I assume that you are going to
urge that disputes between nations
shall be settled by judges acting un-
der the judicial sense of honorable ob-
ligation with a judicial idea of impar-
tiality rather than by diplomats act-
ing under the diplomatic ideas of hon-
orable obligation and feeling bound
to negotiate a settlement rather than
to pass without fear or favor upon
questions of fact and law. It seems
to me that such a change in the fun-
damental idea of what an arbitration
should be is essential to any vety
great further extension of the idea of
arbitration.
“I have been much surprised, hnv
ever, to see how many people there
nre of ability and force who do not
agree with this idea at all, particular-
ly people on the other side of the
Atlantic. The extraordinary scope of
Judicial power in this country has ac-
customed. us to see the operations of
government and questions arising be-
tween sovereign Htates submitted to
edges who apply the test of conform-
ity to established principles and rules
d conduct embodied in our constitu-
tion. It seems natural and proper to
us that the conduct of government ef-
fecting substantia] rights and not de-
pending upon questions of policy
should- be passed upon by the courts
when occasion arises. It is easy,
therefore, for Americans to grasp the
idea that the same method of settle-]
ment should be applied to questions
growing out of the conduct of nations;
and not' involving questions of pol-t
icy.
"In countries, however, where (he1
courts exorcise no such power, tb-
idea is quite a new one to most pen-:
pie, and, if It is to prevail, there mu d
he a process of education. Such a
process will naturally receive its!
chief Impulse in the United States t
and, I hope your.new society will;
give such an impulse with vigor and
accurate direction.
