NAGEL FILES REPORT ON COMMERCE AND LABOR, Greater Federal Control of Trusts la Favored by the Secre- ' tary. Washington, Jan. 3. Secretary Na gel of the Department of Commerce and Labor In his annual report trans mitted to the President called atten tion to needed Improvements at Ellis Island, makes recommendations for additional Inspectors and physicians for ships carrying immigrants and ad vocates that American ships be allow ed the use of the Panama Canal free of tolls. The Secretary commends the bu reau of corporations for tha work It has done and gives his views on the Sherman antitrust law and needed legislation supplementary thereto. His opinion on the latter, subject are of moment because Mr. Nagel Is being considered seriously by President Taft for appointment to the Supreme Court. The Secretary says: "The decisions of the Supreme Court In the Standard Oil and Ameri can Tobacco Company cases have brought forcibly to public attention a fact that has been repeatedly present ed In the reports of the Department. That fact Is the Imperative need for the positive administrative regulation of great industrial corporations. "The recent declslcns and the re organizations which followed have made It clear that another Imperative step remains tihe taken and that this step Is-the establishment by ap propriate legls'atlen of a broad sys tem of supervision and publicity for all those Industrial and commercial organizations that are eneaged In In terstate and fntern-Hinnal business." The Secretary says that the "experi ence and Information acquired by the bureau of cornoratI"ns throuph eight years of work lnvestWatlnR such prob lems will necppsarlly be of grent Im portant In the devp'onment of any system" and "has demonstrated be yond question what such a system of permanent superv'B'on can do and presents one of the strongest argu ments for the broadening of th"t By tem Into pome tuch form -as Is here supfpsted."

SURFACE STILL BUSY SAYS DEAD APPLES ARE BREED ING PLACE FOR DANGER OUS SPORES. STATES' HEALTH IS BEITER Invitations to Governors of Several States Will Be Asked to Confer ence to Be Held in February, subject, "Chestnut Blight." Kuii'lsburg. "More trees than the average person Imagines are affected by the spores of tree diseases of old, dried, withered fruit left hanging on trees," declared State Zoologist H. A. Surface In talking about the common practice of allowing faulty fruit to remain on trees. Such fruit Is known as "mummied," because, from being Imperfect at the start, it hangs in the wind and rain and Biinth'ne until it Is all dried up and fit for aothing but the abiding place of germs. "People ought to make It a point to rempve such fruit from peach, apple and other trees and burn it," continued the zoologist. "I have had a lot of letters latily asking what to do about such 'exhibits' and I am going to strongly urge people to take off the 'mummies'. Do you know that such fruit is sometimes left hang ing for a year and the spores of dis eases remain in a condition to carry infection fur a couple of years? It is certainly a prolific source of trouble." State Death Rate Decreases. Harrisburg. The saying that, "A green Christmas means a fat grave yard" has been changed during the past year, thanks to preventive medi cine and proper sanitation, to "A green Christmas means a lean grave yard." That is the conclusion to be drawn from a statement Issued by Dr. L'lxon, Commissioner of Health, giving the net results of one year's work, and it is a New Year's message of good cheer to every citizen of the Commonwealth. He says: "There are 7,500 men, women and children alive to begin the New Year who, had the death rateof last year prevailed, would have fallen victims of disease. "Putting as:de all thoughts of the suffering and heartbreak that has been saved by this reduction In the i toll of the grim reaper, it means in ' actual money a gain of $37,500,000 to the people of the state. This enor- I mous sum is one-fourth of the value of the entire farm products of the Commonwealth. Not only this, but there is an average of ten cases of sickness to every death, and so there have been 75,000 fewer cases of. ill j ness in as many homes. "In the six jears since the estab lishment of the department of health there has been a decrease in the death rate that shows a total saving of 50,000 lives. "1 hanks to. the unselfish work of the physicians, the local boards of health, the educational workers an the co-operation of the press, the people of Pennsylvania have come to realize the tremendous value of the work wh'rh is being done, and they are aware that every penny jspent In prevention comes back into the pockets of our citizens many hundred fold."

GOVERNMENT PLANS MOVE Deputy Attorney-General Will Ask the Supreme Court for Unprecedent ed Order Has However "Reverse" Precedent Harrisburg, Pa. Thwarted by the Chester county jur.es in its effort to punish the Coatesviiie lyncheis, the state will try to have the remaining cases removed to another county lor trial in the hope of finding jurors who win not allow race piejudice to blind them to the law and the evidence. Governor Tener is determined to br.ng to justice the men who burned the negro at the stake mid brought reproach upon the commonwealth. Deputy Attorney-General J. E. B. Cunningham ot Pitisbuith, who is looking after the Interests of the com monwealth, haB decided upon a pro- ceuure never before attempted in the history of the state. On the first Monday of tebruary he wi l ask thei Supifcme Couit to lake the lynching cases out of the Chester county courts and Bend them to Borne other county , for trial. Such action has been tak en for the benefit of the defendants, bui it has never bten done on the mo tion ot the.coinmonwea.th. The gov ernor is anxious that the Coatesviile lawbreakers be punished and Mr. Cun ningham is bending every energy at bis comma, d to the big task. "I want to make it plain," said Mr. Cunningham, ' that the application to the Supreme Court is in no way based on the conduct of the judges of Ches ter county in the previous, trials. Judges Joseph Hemphill and Will.am But.ei, Jr., did eveiyihing within their power to have the guilty persons broufeht to just.ee, but the juro.s slm piy lefuse to do their duty. The j ace piejudice is so strong m Chester county that 1 a.a cimtident that if the recall were In force, these Judges wouid be taken off the bench by the e ectors, wno are determined that no white man will suffer for the burning of the negro. "Ihis p.ejudice is found In all class es of society, from the highest to the lowest. hv'eiy barr.er possible was raised to prevent the law from taking its course. 'Ihe giand jury called lor the purpose of investigating the ciime endeavored to evaue its duty and only alter a number of the Jurors were excused fiom service was it pos sible to get the rema.n.us members to find indictments. The trial juries pma no aucuiiun to the evidence. Even when the defendant admitted his connection with the crime a verd.ct of acquittal was given. We had five tria.s in which six defendants were tried. They were ail Bet free, ihe Juiles did not even discuss the evi dence when they retired. "After a careiul Siiidy I have decid ed to app.y to. the Supreme Court to remove tue cats f'Om Lifter coun ty. This step, of course, brought me face to lace with the constitutiona. piovis.on which gives to the accused a 'speedy public trial by an inipartla Jury of the vicinage.' This Clause of the- bill of rights has btu consuueu to mean a tnui in the neighborhood or county. I huve found a Pennsyl tan a Supieme Court decision wnere this construction has been "bet aside. There is aito a Massachusetts opimoti which says that vicinage does not neceBsariiy mean county. If we could have thest cases removed to Philadelphia, Lancaster, Dauphin or isome other nearby county, we proba bly w'ould escape ihe piejud.ee exist ing in Chester. There ate seven de fendants awaiting tnal, five charged wuh muruor and two police oiticers are accused of involuntary maiiB.augh ter for lai ure to perlorm their duty in protecting the negro.
