Dry Goods Co.
tlons. will say that my Idea about the
matter was this:
1 That there should be a law requir-
ing all. corporations engaged in inter-
state business to file with the depart-
ment of commerce a list of their stock-
holders and the amount of stock each one
owned and to file each year a general
annual statement showing the character
of business engaged In. and the amount
of business done. etc.. and that this
should be subject to Inspection by the
public
2. That do person should be permlti
ted to be a stockholder In any two cor-
porations engaged in a business In tMs
State which it does not follow In tne
parent State. However the latter matter
la absolutely within the control of the
State and not a matter that congress
would have very much to do with.
In addition to the above I believe I
suggested to you that the probable solu-
tion of our present industrial situation
would be: (a) for the government to own
the railroads and telegraph; b for the
government to control the banking busi-
ness and (c) raiBe the revenue to run
the government by an Income tax and
Internal revenue and (d) to have abso-
lutely free trade with foreign countrlea
The government ownership of railroads
and telegraph would give every citizen
equal rights In the matter of transporta-
tion both of news of rrelght and of pas-
senger. If It Is proper and It certainly
is for a State and county to own and
control the public roads. It Is certainly
proper also to control the railroads.
Everybody admits this; about the only
thing they differ on is the question of
expediency.
If the government controlled the finan-
cial system of the country everybody
would be on an equal basis with refer-
ence to borrowing money and If a man
had a legitimate Industry he could
finance it without reference to the
wishes of others In the same industry.
If we had free trade the manufacturers
of this country would be forced to meet
the world and the great mass of the
common people of the country would be
able to make their purchase tn a market
which was open to the world.
As to the Standard OH. If the Sher-
man law. as it stands now was enforced
it would be sufficient to break up the
Standard Oil monopoly and then after Its
having on'-e been dissolved under the
Sherman law and the two suggestions
named in the first part of this letter were
enacted into statutes the government
could protect Itself In the future pro-
vided of course we had an honest at-
torney general.
The suggestions which I have made
here are very general and were made
very hurriedly but these are about what
I have in my mind. I do not know that
they will be of any value to you.
Wishing you success I am yours very
truly. Richard Q. Maury

HOTPOINT" appliances are always hot right at the point where heat is
needed. They don't scatter the heat like a spray pump scatters water;
they concentrate the heat where it will accomplish' the greatest result.
A "Hotpoint" Stove comes to full heating capacity in 15 seconds. That's
practically as quick as gas. All you d o is turn the switch not even a match
to light.
Hotpoint Electric Irons are always hot--and what's more to the point
they are hot to the point.
The appliances here illustrated and many others will be featured at the

Interest In Vandsrbllt Case.
Not within recent year has Methodism
been called upon to face a more perplex-
ing problem than that which confronts
her now known as the Vanderbllt univer-
sity case brought upon It by an adverse
decision of the supreme court of Tennes-
see in a suit Instituted to determine It
rightful ownership and control of that
great educational institution and no
question has excited more widespread In-
terest especially within th bound of
Southern Methodism which extend from
Baltimore to Mexico and. from th At-
lantic to the Pacific.
The Vanderbllt case has been th can-
ter oT interest and at noon today whan
adjournment was taken until Monday
that Interest had not abated on the con-
trary had been rather intensified. This
was due to th Introduction of a resolu-
tion by Dr. E. B. ChappeU and Dr. T.
D. Kills calling for a commission to In-
vestigate and determine th charter
lights of the church its connectlonal
board and hospitals and to determine
their legal right to hold property under
the law of the State In which they are
Incorporated. This is the Initial step to
reincorporate all the boards of the church
and general conference Itself if neces-
sary to guarantee It in It property

sort and you come and get
point is well taken.
These axe days when we hear a good deal about cheaper electricity
in Houston; every one is interested of course. But fully as important
are the appliances that consume that electricity.
Too many take it for granted that all appliances are alike so they
buy any old kind and use up a third more electricity than do the
users of "Hotpoint."
Whether Houstonians get a permanent reduction in rate on elec-
tricity or not "Hotpoint" lias already cut the. Cost of current on heat-
ing appliances a third.
Just as the Tungsten Lamp gives greater light for less money
than the ordinary type so does "Hotpoint" give more heat at less cost!
Bat No Argament for ' Hotpoint" Is
So Strong as "Hotpoint" Itself
It takes a good many words to tell the merits of "Hotpoint" appliances
but one of the articles themselves can tell the whole story in a few
minutes. So to get you acquainted with these wonderful labor patience
and current savers the manufacturer is offering an Electric Stove this
week at half price. We can supply you here at Levy's.

Bishop Selected Committee.
The bishop appointed a committee un-
der th resolution so that It might be-
gin work at once and make a report be-
fore the present session of the conference
adjourns. In the meantime the commit-
tee of 15 to which all memorials and that
part of the Episcopal address touching
that part of the Vanderbllt matter 1 ac-
tively at work. This committee has held
sessions every night since its appoint-
ment but no plan of procedure has been
agreed upon and none is expected for
some days. The committee has discuss-
ed th matter in rather an Informal way
but It 1 understood that public hearings
will be granted later on.
Thomas B. Stamford a prominent
lawyer of Opelika Ala and member of
the committee said today In an Inter-
view that he favored the appointment of
a commission with full power and au-
thority to act and that the entire matter
be referred to this commission: the
commission to be authorised to re-
ceive overtures from the board of trus-
tee Of Vanderbllt university If that body
cared to make any: that it be authorised

Talk of New University.
Mr. Stamford said he was under th
Impression that this course would be
adopted. In thl statement however he
did not speak authoritatively for the
committee but he based this opinion on
the trend of affairs within the past few
daya He ald he believed the confer-
ence today would agree to this proposi-
tion but that it would not have done so
the first r second day of the session.
While no one seems to stand authority
for th statement. It Is understood that
a number of tentative proposition to
establish a university have been made or
at least are Just waiting for a chanoe of
submission.
The report on the creation of an ad-
visory commission to assist and co-operate
with the colored Methodist Episcopal
church In its work among the negroes
which was set a a special order for to-
day was when called up recommitted to
the committee for further consideration.
The Sunday school committee at its
afternoon session planned for a large
amcunt of constructive work during the
coming quadrennial. The committee will
ask for a Sunday school board a general
secretary and an appropriation of )20000
to carry on it work.
