The bill is an outgrowth of the Pujo "money trust" inquiry. It gives the New York Stock Exchange the option of incorporating under the New York laws or placing itself un der the direction of the Postmaster General.

Cullom, of Illinois, died here at 1:30 o'clock this after noon, after an illness of more than a week. His last words were the wish that he might see completion of the National Memorial to Abraham Lincoln, who was his personal friend. Shelby Moore Cullom's death ended fifty years of continuous public ser vice that had made him a figure in American National life and brought him into official relations with every President from Abraham Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson.

When he became city attorney of Springfield he launched upon a politi cal career, which for a record of un broken service is unchallenged as ex ceeding that of any other American. Among his first political experiences was thfr novelty of being elected and defeated at the same election. He was elected to the legislature and de feated as elector on the Fillmore ticket. Then came the historic Lin coln and Douglas debates and Cul loms' intimate association with Lin coln, whom he followed into the ranks of the Republican party. He presided over the sesion of the Illinois House at which, after Fort Sumter had been fired upon, Stephen A. Douglas ap peared and made his dramatic plea for the preservation of the Union. During the first of President Lin coln's second term Mr. Cullom came to the National House of Represen tatives and began a work which was practically interrupted only when he served two years as governor of Illi- nois. Lincoln was assassinated soon after Cullom entered Washington life and the young legislator was a mem ber of the committee that demanded the return of the President's body to Springfield.
