Commerce Court- Would Protect Corporations. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, D. C, Jan.. 7 Presi dent Taft today sent to congress his long delayed -and much discussed message on interstate commerce and anti-trust legislation. . In it he strikes at the existence of holding corpora tions, by which major trusts control their subsidiaries and at the water ing of corporation stock.' To insure the more complete control of rail roads by the government, he demands ' the formation of ' a court of com merce, to comprise five judges, hav ing power to act lis a court of ap peals from the rulings of the Inter- . state commerce commission, v - The president dips into railroad i employes' safety, also, urging new features of the liability law. . State 'control of. .jcorpor.athpps ...is vigorously attacked; the president charges it with the responsibility for many corporation and abuses and he takes a firm stand for centralized power. , - '- ; - He demands that railroads be for bidden to control their competitors anu would give the - interstate com merce commission sweeping increases In power. I : Declaring distinction between good and bad trusts to be impossible, the president says emphatically that if the trusts are to be kept within the Jaw, new legislation," creating . na tional corporations under' charter, is urgently needed. This, the main provision of the anti-trust section, was announced some time ago, as was many of the other terms of the message. Such a move, the president points out, is not to afford the trusts a re fuge, as .the Sherman law's repeal is not contemplated. ' The proposed statute, according to the message, "Is not to be framed so as to permit the doing of the wrongs which it is the. purpose of that (the Sherman) law to prevent, b"t only to foster a continuance and advance of the highest Industrial efficiency With out permitting industrial abuses." Here are the steps he recommends: In anti-leglslatlon: ' Grant a federal charter to combi nations manufactured and selling in interstate and foreign commerce. Protect corporations from state in terference." ;. , Prevent stock issues In excess of property, values as ascertained by the federal government. Compel complete reports of na tional .corporations to the depart ment of commerce and labor at regu lar intervals: ' Prevent national corporations from acquiring or holding Btock in. others, except with federal approval; this (Continued on Page Seven.) DIL VHiEBERG LOSES STATE BOARD CASE .' . (Special to The Times.) Greensboro. N. C Jan. 7 Judge W. Ji Adams filed his opinion in the case of Dr. Vineberg against the - State Board of Optometry Examiners last night, the judgment being based upon the facts and law bearing on the case. In his decision Judge Adams decides .against the petitioner. Dr.- Vlneberg, and orders that his prayer for a peremptory writ , of mandarus be de nied on the grounds that he had not practiced for two years in North Caro lina prior to the date of the passage of the act creating the Sate Board' of Optometry Examiners.

HUGHES WILL KILL AMENDMENT (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Jan. 7 The advocates of an income tax law in congress are much disturbed over the recommenda tion or uov. Hughes In his message to the New York legislature that the constitutional amendment passed by the senate and house by unanimous vote at the extraordinary session be rejected. They feel that this recommendation on the' part of 'the governor will have the effect of killing the amendment in a sufficient number of states to prevent its ratltica.tinn by the required three; fourths of the state. They now regret more than ever that they did not press the income tax amendment to the tariff bill when they had command of the situation as they did for a, short time, and compel a vote upon it. They believe it would. have carried at 'that time, and as drawn by Balloy and Cummins, would have been declared constitutional by the supreme court. They realize that it will be quite impossible for many years to come to pass such a law If the amendments ' fails of ratification, and they feel that the opponents of the mesage played " a sharp trick upon them in eliminating the tax from the tariff bill and passing a. constitutional amendment which is likely to fail of ratification.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Jan. 7 Fre&li relays of the city's expert diggers were put to work this morning in the tunnel un der Ludlow-street, in which Isaac Finkelstein whether alive or dead Is not known is believed to be en tombed. If he is dead he is the vic tim of his own greed and in a grave of bis own making, for after police men, detectives, and laborers of the building department had been work ing like beavers for hours to find him, his wife told how he had confessed to her his plan to dig under the street and rob the jewelry store of S. Zlrinsky, on the opposite corner. Since 10 o'clock last night the ex cavation has been going on, and at timed, the crowds of watchers have been so large and go excitedthat po lice from the Eldridge street station" had to form lines and keep the people back. A hole 10 feet deep and about six by eight feet at the top has been opened down to the tunnel in front of No. 61 Ludlow street, in the cellar of which Finkelstein started his dig-; glng. A large space in the asphalt has been ripped up and Foreman Kelly, of the-building department, who is in charge,, said he believed his men would not entirely lay bare the strange human burrow before noon today. The scene in the early morn ing hours was an eerie one. In the heavy rain, by the flickering torches, the men 'worked, their labor made more difficult than ordinarily by the filthy condition of the street, which is plied with snow on the Bides and racking with rain and slush in the middle. The policemen in their glis tening raincoats, sfod like guards at some weird obsequt. Keeping duck the curious and excitable crowds. Frequently the wife of Finkelstein, an old shawl pinned about her head and holding a child by each hand, would come from her squalid home In the tenement, No. 53 Ludlow street, and hysterically break through the police lines to inquire If her hus band had been found. Her grief and the crying , of the five Finkelstein children added to the grewsomeneBs of the scene and she, was finally ord ered to remain indoors. The tunnel begins In the cellar of an uncompleted tenement, and Chief Inspector Reville, of the building de partment, said it had passed under the foundations. His men nave shored up the cellar walls to prevent the structure from collapsing. The tunnel, the inspector said, is about 10 feet below the level of the street. and Finkelstein must have workea like a mole, worming himself along as he. dug, for its dimensions are onl about 20 inches by two feet. . The tunnel was diverted, under the street, from a direct line toward the Jewelry store' and turned in the direction of the Eastside branch of the 14th street bank. The police be lieve that he changed his mind about robbing the jewelry store, as he had told his wife was hia Intention, or lost his way. ' GAS FOR NEW YORK.

He criticised Pinchot for writing the letter to Senator Dolli ver in violation of the president's order but when the story about the presi dent's Order forbidding subordinates to, furnish departmental information to congressmen was first made public the Maine senator was quick to speak his mind and criticised the order. It has been made clear that the line In the senate between the adherents of Balllnger and Pinchot will be sharp ly drawn and the progressives no doubt will be found lined up in sup port of the chief forester.

ALEXANDER S. f ROADS SAY THEY CAN'T MEETDEMAND Demands of Men Would Mean An Increase In Wages of .$10,000,000 HAD NO TROUBLE Experienced Accountants Going Over the IK-niands Filed With Them New Schedules Will be Considered in Joint Conference on January 20. Vice-president Stuart of the Erie Says They Have Never Had Any Trouble Willi Employes Over Any ! Question, and lie Doesn't Think They Will This Time, But There Are Some Features of Dcmuiids He Tliinks I iireiiMunublc. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Jan. 7 J. C. Stuart, vice-president and general manager of the Erie Railroad, declared today that if tho railroad company grants its employes the maximum increase demanded by the conductors and trainmen's organizations it would mean an Increase of $10,0(10,(10 in the company's operating expenses. "Some of the demands made are so extreme as to be unreasonable," he said, "and tlio Erie is not rich enough to reach the high figures submitted. The Increases range from 10 per cent, to 65 per cent." Representatives of the unions say their demands are not exorbitant, but are justified by tuts jiii,. case m uie u i i.. .1... JOOt .Uylr ,Tey; are 4rmined Experienced accountants in the of- flees of 31 out of the 32 railroads the Mississippi river have east of been going over the demands filed with them last Monday by representa-, tives of the Order of Railway Con- ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail-!, way Trainmen. The Pennsylvania's rates, with a few unimportant excep tions, were satisfactory. J The new schedues will be consid ered in joint conference on January 20. The increases are not the same upon all the roads, but the different schedules have been so drawn as to make the wages practically the same, for like service, upon all the lines, the . general aim being to bring the eastern rates of pay up to what is paid by the roads west of the Missis sippi. ' We have never had any serious trouble over wages or any other ques tion," said Mr. Stuart, "and I don't think wc will this time. But somo of the demands made In the pending schedules are so. extreme as to be un reasonable and the Erie isn't rich enough to reach tho high figures sub mitted to lis this week. Why, I h; increases asked run all the way from 10 per cent, to 65 per cent. The new schedule calls for the Chicago stand ard in all yards. "That would mean increases of 21 to 70 per cent." Another matter In the proponed schedule which Mr. Stuart says he cannot endores is the manner of deal ing with the federal 16-hour law. This law requires that railroads must not work their men more than lfi hours on a stretch, and that, eight hours of rest must follow each Hi hour work period. "As 1 interpret the proposed agree ment, here is what may happen," said Mr. Stuart. "A crew, let us say, for example, will be 12 hours on the road between Port Jervis and Jersey City. We will not be permitted to say to that crew, 'Now, go take your eight hours of rest, but will have to pay the crew for the remaining four .hours, whether we had work for them to do or not; and we wouldn't have a four-hours run for them. Another demand-which I doh't ?eo how we can accept," continued the vice-president, "is, that we shall pay mileage rates,, at full time, to : crews while dead-heading from point' to point, where a train is wait ing to be taken out. The crew is dead-headed' either 'in the caboose or on a passenger train to the point where its services lire required. Un der the proposed now schedule we would have to pay the men full mile age rates for their ride to where tho work' was Waiting for them." Mr. Stuart called attention to other features ti the proposed schedule hicn he thought would be subjects for deep discussion at the conference on the ?0th, but he insisted that he did not anticipate any serlousr,dls- agreeuient with his men, v , '.'-..
