Should Devote Their Capital to Carry­ ing Business and Not to the Has- Ards of Speculation--Honest In­ vestors in Securities to Be Given Ample Protection at Ail Times-- Appeal to Heads of Big Car- pomtions. Indianapolis, Ind.--President Roose­ velt delivered a notable address here Memorial day at the un­ veiling of the monument to Gen. Law- ton, who ,was killed in the Philippine insurrection. The president devoted his speech mainly to a discussion of the railroad situation. He declared the government would take no back­ ward step In its policy of control over railroad corporations. He condemned speculation in r^Jllway securities and urged measures to prevent it. The widest publicity he advocated as H remedy for some of the evils of rail­ road manipulation. The president said in part: For more than one reason I am pecul­ iarly glad that this year I speak on Me­ morial ua.y In the state of Indiana. There is no other class of our citizens to whom we owe so much as to the veterans of the great war. To them it was given to per­ form the one feat with which no other feat can be compared, for to them it was given to preserve the union. Moreover, you men who wore the blue, blessed be­ yond the victors in any other war of re­ cent times, have left to your countrymen more than the material' results of the triumph, more even than the achieving the triumph itself. You have left a country so genuinely reunited that all of us now, in whatever part of this union we live, have a right to feel the keenest pride, not only in the valor and self-de­ votion of you, the gallant men who wore the blue, but also in the valor and self- devotion of your gallant opponents who wore the gray. The hero whose monu­ ment we to-day unveil, by his life bore singular testimony to the completeness of the reunion. Gen. Lawton in his youth fought gallantly in the civil war. Thirty- three years afterward he again marched to war, this time against a. foreign foe, ang served with distinguished ability and success as a general officer, both in Cuba and in the Philippines. When he thus served it was in an army whose generals included not only many of his old com­ rades in arms, but some of his old op­ ponents also, as Gen. Wheeler and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. To Gen. Lawton It befell actually to lay down his life; a tragedy, but one of those noble tragedies where our pride rises above our sorrow. For he died in the fullness of time, serving his country with entire devotion--* death that every man may well envy. Indiana in the civil war furnished even more than her share of brave soldiers. It also fell to Indiana to furnish the great­ est of alj the war governors who upheld the hands of Abraham Lincoln; for when history definitely awards the credit for what was done in the civil war, she will put the services of no other civilian, save alone those of Lincoln, ahead of the services of Gov. Morton. Duties of Present Generation. One great problem that we have be­ fore us is to preserve the rights of prop­ erty; and these can only be preserved if we remember that they are in less jeop­ ardy from the socialist and the anarchist than from the predatory man of wealth. It has become evident that to refuse to invoke the power of the nation to restrain the wrongs committed by the man of great wealth who does evil Is not only to neglect the interests of the public, but Is to neglect the interests of the man of means who acts honorably by his fellows. The power of the nation must be ex­ erted to stop crimes of cunning no less than crimes of violence. There can be no halt in the course we have deliber­ ately elected to pursue, the policy of as­ serting the right of the nation, so far as it has the power, to supervise and con­ trol the business use of wealth, especial­ ly in its corporate form. To-day I wish to say a word to you about the first and moBt Important feature cft this task, the control of the common carriers doing an Interstate business; a control absolutely vested in the nation, while in so far as the common carriers also transport the malls it is in my opinion probable that whether their business is or is not inter­ state it is to the same extent subject to federal control, under that clause of the constitution granting to the national gov­ ernment power to establish post roads and therefore by necessary implication power to take all action necessary in or­ der to keep them at the highest point of efficiency. New Laws Commended. Every federal law dealing with corpo­ rations or with railroads that has been put upon the statute books during the last six years has been a step in advance in the right direction. A11 action taken by the administration under these and the preexisting laws has been just and proper. Every suit undertaken during that period has been a suit nftt merely warranted, but required, by the facts; a suit In the interest of the people as a whole, and, In the long run, particularly in the interest of stockholders as well as In the Interest of business men of prop­ erty generally. There can be 90 swerving from the course that has thus been mapped out in the legislation actually enacted and In the message** in which I have asked for further legislation. We best serve the interests of the honest railway men when we announce that we will follow out precisely this course, it is the course of real, of ultimate con­ servatism. There will be no halt in the forward movement toward a full de­ velopment of this policy; and those who wish us to take a step backward or to stand still. If their wishes were realised, would find that they had invited an out­ break of the very radicalism they fear. There muBt be progressive legislative and administrative action for the correction of the evils which every sincere man must admit to have existed in railroad management in the past. In the Interests of All. Such additional legislation as that tor whicn i save sasea in she past, and espe­ cially that for which I asked in my mes­ sage at the opening of the last session of congress, is not merely in the interest of the public but most emphatically in the Interest or every honest railway man­ ager and of ail investors or would-be In­ vestors in railway securities. There must be vested in the federal government s full power of supervision and control over the railways doing Interstate busi­ ness; a power In many respects antua- gous to and as complete as that the rnwrnment esprcises over the national banks. It must possess the power to ex­ ercise supervision over the future issu­ ance of stocks and bonds, either through a national incorporation (which I should prefer) or in some similar fashion, such supervision to include the frank publicity of everything which would-be investors and the public at large have a right to know. The federal government will thus be able to prevent all' overcapitalization In the future; to prevent any man hereafter from plundering others by loading railway properties with obliga­ tions and pocketing the money instead of spending it in improvements and In le­ gitimate corporate purposes; and any man acting In such fashion should be held to a criminal accountability. It should be declared contrary to public policy henceforth to allow railroads to devote their capital to anything but the transportation business, certainly not to the hasards of speculation. For the very reason that we desire to favor the honest railroad manager, we should seek to discoui'age the activities of the man whose only concern with railroads is to manipulate their stocks. The movement to regulate railways by law has come rte stay. The people of this country have made up theSv* roinds--and wisely made up their minds--to exercise a closer control over all kinds of public- service corporations, Including railways. Every honestly managed railway will gain and not Jose by the policy. The men more anxious to manipulate stocks than to make the management of their roads efficient and honest are the only ones who have cause to oppose it. There must be no such rigid laws aa will prevent the development of the coun­ try, and such development can only be had If investors are offered an ample re­ ward for the risk they take. We would be the first to oppose any unreasonable restrictions being placed upon the issu­ ance vof stocks and bonds, for such would simply hamper the growth of the United States; for a railroad must ultimately stand on its credit. But this does not wl characiwf» ubu«? the seal of the national government, and therefore many v^ople who invest freely in the shares of banks are reluctant to buy rail­ road securities. Give them the same guaranties as to railroad securities which we now give them as to national bank shares, and we would presently see these people investing in railroads, and thus opening a new reservoir from which to draw the capital now so much needed for the extension and betterment of the railroads. The c-rMit of the hour, from the standpoint of the general public--of the producer, consumer and shipper alike--is the need for better transportation facili­ ties, for additional tracks, additional terminals, and improvements in the actu­ al handling of the railroads; and all this with the least possible delay. Ample, safe and rapid transportation facilities are even more necessary than cheap transportation. The prime need is for ehe investment of money which will pro­ vide better terminal facilities, additional tracks, and a greater number of cars and locomotives, while at the same time se­ curing, if possible, better wages and shorter hours for the employes. There must be Just and reasonable regulation of rates, but any arbitrary and unthink­ ing movement to cut them down may he equivalent to putting a complete stop to the effort to provide better transporta­ tion. I emphatically believe that positive restraint should be Imposed upon rail­ way corporations, and that they should be required to meet positive obligations in the interest of the general public. I no less emphatically believe that in thus regulating arid controlling the affairs of the railways it is necessary to recognise the need of an immense outlay oi money from private sources, and the cerx;>inty that this will not be met without the assurance of sufficient regard to Induce the necessary investment. It is plainly inadvisable for the government to under­ take to direct the physical operation of the railways, save in wholly exceptional cases; and the supervision and control it exercises should be both entirely ade­ quate to secure its end&, and yet no more harassing than is Necessary to secure these ends. e Congestion on Lines. For several months past some, if not all, of our roads have been in a condi­ tion of extreme congestion. Doubtless this is mainly due to the fact that the country has outgrown its railroads, that our prosperity has increased at such JTH*'SWEET GIRL GRADUATE INRAINING. • . / ' ^ * r * PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. (Photograph Copyright, 19M, by Clinedlnst.) prevent our demanding that there be lodged in the government power to exer­ cise a jealous care against the inflation of securities, and all the evils that come in its train. Roads Not Overcapitalized. There has been much wild talk aa to the extent of the overcapitalisation of our railroads. The census reports on the commercial value of the railroads of the country, together with the reports made to the Interstate commerce coramiuiou by the railroads on their cost of con­ struction, tend to show that as a whole the railroad property of the country Is worth«as much as the securities repre­ senting it. and that in the consensus of opinion of investors the total value of stocks and bonds iB greater than their total face value, notwithstanding the "water" that has tyeen Injected in partic­ ular places. Ample provision should be made by congress to enable the interstate com­ merce commission, by the employment of a sufficient force of experts, to under­ take the physical valuation of each and any road in the country, whenever and so soon as in the opinion of the commis­ sion such a valuation of any road would be of value to the commission in its work. There are undoubtedly some roads as to which It would be an advantage, from the standpoint of the business of the, commission, to have such a physical val­ uation as soon as possible. Effect of Physical Valuation. The effect of Buch valuation and super­ vision of securities cannot be retroactive. Existing securities should be tested by the laws in existence at the time of their issue. This nation would no more injure securities which have become an impor­ tant part of the national wealth than it would consider a proposition to repudiate the public debt. But the public Interest requires guaranty against improper mul­ tiplication of securities in the future. One of the most important features of the Hepburn act is its having given the commission absolute control over the ac­ counts of railways. The commission has just issued an order to the effect that on July 1 next all the railways of the coun­ try subject to the jurisdiction of the com­ mission must standardize their account­ ing ipethoda, and the commissitm is now organizing a bureau of special examin­ ers, whose duty It will be, among other things, to see that the books of the car­ riers are kept In conformity with the f^ll^s ls»ii5 v«aC AAmrniaslAni Thus the means are already at hand and the machinery already created which, when perfected, will put the public in po­ sition to know the facts, so that the small Investor can exercise an intelligent judgment when intrusting his money to the promoters of great railway enter­ prises. We hope as one of th« chief means for betterment of conditions to se­ cure as complete publicity in the affairs of railroads as now obtains to national banks. , ' The railways have not been given a a rate that the most sanguine and opti­ mistic railroads have been unable to keep pace With its growth. But it is also true that ordinary methods of operation, which hold good in a placid time of steady and regular movement, should at a time of crisis yield to the imperative necessities Of public need. Praises Legislation. The admirable national legislation of recent years, in taking away from the railroads the power of giving Illegal fa­ vor, has taken away from them one of the illegitimate methods by which they used to protect themselves from im­ proper attack; and it is therefore neces­ sary that upright public servants should be aa vigilant to protect them against Harm as to prevent them from doing harm. Finally, friends, let us never forget that this is not merely a matter of busi­ ness but also a matter of morals. The success of our whole system of govern­ ment depends upon our discriminating between men, not with reference to whether they are rich or poor, whether they follow one occupation or another, but with reference solely to whether they act as honest and upright citizens should act. Let the local attorneys of the big roads keep out of politics; and when they have to appear before the national or any state legislature let their names be put on a special register, and let their business be aboveboard and open. There are blackmailers in public life, and the citizen who is honest will war against the man who tries to blackmail a rail­ road or a big corporation with the same stern determination to punish him as against the man who corruptly favors such corporation. Honesty the Great Need. The man who is on occasion a cor­ rupt ionist, is apt, when the gust of pop­ ular feeling blows hard against the cor­ porations he has corruptly served, to be the loudest, most reckless, and most vio­ lent among those who denounce them. Hunt such a man out of public life. Hunt him out as remorselessly if he Is a blackmailer as if he stands corruptly for special privilege. Demand honesty- absolute, unflinching honesty--together with courage and common sense, in pub* lie servant and In business man alike. Let the man of great wealth remember that, while using and enjoying it, he must nevertheless feel that he is in a o twuut AA n»l/1 that COnSiStSS* 52lij5* use, whether in acquiring or spending his wealth, is ominous of evil to him­ self, to others who have wealth, and to the nation as a whole. As for the rest of us, let us guard ourselves agalnkt envy as we ask that others guard them­ selves against arrogance, and remember Lincoln's words of kindly wisdom: "Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work dili­ gently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."

Victoria, B. C. -- Two hundred and seventy persons are known to have been killed, and ' the loss of life, it is said, will total many more in the disastrous typhoon in the Caroline islandB recently reported by cable from Sydney, "Australia. Further ad­ vices have been received here in the mails from the orient showing in some instances persons clung to the top* of trees for days before being rescued. The property loss is high, as many of the smaller islands aria practically swept clean by the waves. The typhoon passed over the Caro­ line group on March 28, and hundreds of persons were killed by thq waves, which inundated the smaller islands. Those who were saved were mostly those'who had climbed cocoanut trees. The typhoon extended as far west as Guam.^ At the Manila observatory on March 30 the typhoon was registered !as be­ ing northeast of Yap, in the western Carolinas. March 31 it was found to be north of Yap, indicating a danger­ ous situation in the southern part of the Carolinas and the Philippines. The accuracy of the observations from the Manila observatory were confirmed on receipt of advices from Yap and the Carolinas. The island of TJlis was entirely .de­ stroyed, and the waves, which passed over the island, killed 200 people. Heavy loss of life was reported from other islands. Some were entirely covered, and natives were rescued days afterward, clinging to the tops of the coacoanut trees. On Wilson Island 20 persons were killed, and on Slrol or Philips island, which lies between Yap and Ulie, 50 persons perished. The majority of the islands were desolated and the loss is said to be great LYNCH A NEGRO IN LOUISIANA. Henry Johnson Is Tsken from Jsll by Mob st Echo. Alexandria, La.' -- Henry Johnson, a middle-aged negro, was lynched at Echo, La., by about 160 men, who took him from jail. He had been arrested, charged with an at­ tempted attack on the wife of his em­ ployer. Johnson was a plantation negro and had worked about a year for Ephralm Pearce, a planter. Mr. Pearce was absent from his place about noon Friday and during this time the negro made his appearance. Later in the afternoon he Iras ar­ rested. When Johnson was placed In jail at Echo, Deputy Sheriff Richardson wired Alexandria for assistance. Richardson says he succeeded in keeping the mob back until eight o'clock, when he went to his supper, and while eating he heard about 50 shots fired and was told the negro had been lynched. Without encoun­ tering resistance the lynchers had taken Johnson from jail and hanged him to a near-by tree. Chicago Chronicle Suspends. Chicago. -- The Chicago Chron­ icle, property of John R.

French Seamen Strike. Paris.--A general strike of saftors and others belonging to the French naval reserve began at almost all tho ports of France at daylight Friday, and threatens the complete paralysis of French euuiEueiCe. The navigation companies are making energetic rep- e^entatlons to the government, claiming that the movement is not directed against them, and saying that unless it is settled immediately it will cause untold injury to French commerce. Dissatisfaction over pen­ sion law caused the strike. , NSW TREATY WITH GERMANY. Conclusion of Commercial Arrange­ ment Announced by President. Washington. -- The president Sat­ urday issued a proclamation an­ nouncing the conclusion of a commer­ cial arrangement between the United States and Germany under the third section of the Dingley act. The proc­ lamation is brief, simply announcing the list of articles upon which the United States grants reduced duties to Germany and the undertaking of the German government to make reci­ procity concessions. A letter from Secretary Cortelyou dated April 9 is made public in which the secretary says that the negotia­ tion of the proposed commerciaragree- ment would promote friendly rela­ tions and would otherwise be of bene* fit to this country. The state department also has made public an analytical statement of the points of the new arrangement from which it appears that about 40 artl* cles of American production, embrac­ ing moBt of the articles of trade dur­ ing the past year are to be subject to the minimum tariff rates upon admis­ sion to Germany. Regret is expressed that it has not been possible, owing to the attitude of the German government, to secure the minimum tariff rates for all Amer­ ican products and it is said that this Concession . can only be secured by substantia! tariff concessions by the United States in the shape of a reci­ procity treaty subject to the approval of congress. RATS COST COUNTRY FORTUNE. Startling Figures in Government Re­ port on Extermination. Washington. -- The great destruc­ tion wrought by rodents is pointed out in a statement which has just been issued by the department of agriculture on "Methods of Destroy­ ing Rats." It declares that "an In­ fallible method of extermination of these rodents would be worth more to the people of the United States in a single decade than the department of agriculture has cost since its es­ tablishment." It says the brown rat is the worst mammalian pest In existence and adds: "If for each cow, horse, sheep and hog on the farms of the United States the farmers support one rat on grain, the toll levied on the cereals by these rodents would reach the enormous total of 1100,000 a year. "Their prolificness is the chief ob­ stacle to their extermination. Three litters of ten each are produced every year. A single pair, breeding without check and without losses by death, in tJ "ee years would be represented by ten generations and would number 20,155,392 individuals. The eleventh generation, due at the beginning of the fourth year, would number over $100,000,000." GREAT DAY SN RICHMOND W. J.

Second only to the tribute gives by the speakers to the memory of Dixie- land's great chieftain were those of­ fered on every hand to the women of the south, whose gift the monument Is. William J. Bryan, who was the guest of the reunion, was given a remarka­ ble ovation as he drove through the streets in the line of march and cheered to the echo as he mounted the stand just before the program was begun. At the conclusion of the cere­ mony there were a number of calls for him to address the people, but these were Immediately drowned in a chorus of "No, No, No." The objections came from everywhere and were led by the women of the Jefferson Davis Monument association. Gen. Stephen D. Lee, grand commander, who pre­ sided at the stand, announced In ring­ ing tones: "There will be no politics here." He turned to thfe crowd in every direction and shouted the warn­ ing and it had the desired effect. During the ceremony Mr. and Mr*. Bryan had occupied an Inconspicuous position in the rear of .the speakers' stand out of sight of the people. AS soon as his name was called Mr. Bry­ an made a movement as though to withdraw from the stand. He realised that if he appeared before the people a political move would be attributed to him by many. One of the touching Incidents of the day was the presentation of the de­ scendants of Mr. Davis to the great throng, which cheered them several minutes. HAYWOOD JURY COMPLETE.
