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."

STATES' HEALTH IS BEITER
Invitations to Governors of Several

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."
Bid Governors to Conference.
Invitations to the various governors

Defend Law.
Harrisburg. State Banking Com
missioner William H. Smith said that
the state would vigorously defend th
new private bank act against the
equity procedings Instituted in Phil
adelphia to test Its constitutionality.
Attorney General Bell will represent
the state banking department in this
action, and every effort will be made
to secure an early decision.
Meantime, the department Is collect
ing evidence against private bankers
who have been doing business with
out a state license since December 1,
when the new law went into effect.
Commissioner Smith estimates that
there are 350 private hanks in the
state. Thus far 105 have applied for
licenses. The others are mostly smallJ
foreign batiks.

"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

protecting the negro.
