BILL IX CONGRESS.
. Xot To Be Pressed for Passage
at This .session.
ITaaJ b«I - Fei>. 7.-Th.- federal in
- corporation bill was introduced in Con
- press to-day, but is not to be pressed for
7 p*E^as;« at this sc«sion. it is said. If
" rh .. bill should b«* passed President Taft
has stat<?d hi? willingness to - md as its
[ i^ponf^r and to tak? the responsibility
for having pecomniended it-
Further in.--" this- the Prcrfdent told
F'v«?ral callers t«-day that be would not
mak^ the incorporation 1 ill »■ adminls
traiicn n '--•:r.- He declared he felt he
h«d do ri?ht Jo d so. and that it did
not '-- vith the proposed amendments
to the Interstate commerce law. the
roftal saving* banks and the measures
drsi?nc-J for the conservation of natural
- resourres. Thcic latter were promised
:n the rarty - :•• -m on which the
President mrm* elected, and be feels that
the party U rr«ponsiblc- for their passage
at mis ?e*?icti of Congress.
Th* bill was referred to the Judiciary
rrsmniittecs for perusal and eonsldera
licn.
Already. Attorney <;en<*rai Wicker
jhsm is being plied with inquiries re
cardirg various •■■-..■•' the bill. He
has explained that the organisations
•where operations are covered by it arc
amenable to national authority, for the
reason that they thus have but one mas
ter *s against forty-?ix tney might have
did rr>p?al of their charter? or punish
ment for offences committed rest with
thp =:atcF There are a number of rea
r-ens advanced why more satisfaction
may be secured by giving the federal
coxirta Jurisdiction. Litigation there is
•j?u"<lly roowi economical, more rapid
pr««res3 i? hsrl than in the local court?
»r.d * federal jury is less liable to bias
*nd -prejudice
One of the many objections to the bill
rsss ari.-ev. from the denial of the right
of *w Jurisdiction over the incorpora
tiens. but the omdals believe th^t after
the 2a v has had a working: chance it may
b«- re-?f-ible to modify its provisions fm
*? to make them less objectionable from
Ihe stated" rights point of view.
The proposed law does not contem
plate sepcryiiion of railroad corpora
tions, as they exercise the right "■ emi
nent domain. This if a matter that Mr.
■vY*icfcer*h3in says may be taken up in
the future.

MAY SAVE CITY MONEY.
Justice Tompkins Reverses Report of
Kcnsico Appraisers.
Justice TompkfcM". In the Supreme Court
at Whit" }•„..-.- yesterday. In th* New
Tork watershed proceeding?, reversed the
report of Reginald W. Rive.-. Herbert D.
I>ent. and B<>noni Plan, commissioners of
appraisal on the Kensi^o reservoir, on a
parcel of land consisting of eighty-six aerea
Immediately rast of the Kensico reservoir.
It was proved on behalf of the claimant.
that the value of th* land was $175,000.
while the city's appraisal ranged from $2| f 
©oo to SCI, OOO. The claim against the city
•was ba?ed upon the valuation of the land
divided into villa plot?.
Th* Corporation Counsel moved that the
report be set aside as excessive and be
cause the commissioners had adopted an er
roneous principle of law. This action by
the city shows that it in!-!',. to tight all
excessive awards- The awards of the com
missioners amounted to $**•*••. Justice
Torapkina said that the property had never
been subdivided into villa plots and should
have been valued as farmland; therefore
the award was cancelled.
If this same principle is followed in fut
ure condemnation proceeding^*. it will m an
a gr<\at saline to New York City.

Reinforced in Control of Aero
Club at Special Meeting.
By a vote of a 6 to 10 the legislation ree
onini'nded by its committee was adopted
last nisht by the Aero Club at ■ special
meettag at the Automobile Club of Amer
ica. This was regarded as a complete vic
tory for Cortlandt Field Bishop, president
of the club. Amendments to the certificate
of incorporation, the .constitution and the
bylaws were ratified also, showing- the
strength of the present administration.
The constitution was changed to comply
with the corporation laws of the state, and
the bylaws now provide for the election at
the annual meeting of a president, three
vice-presidents, a secretry, * treasurer, i
consulting engineer and twelve governors-
The membership limit Is five hundred, but
may be Increased to one thousand.
For two months the opposition party has
been trying to secure an injunction from
the Supreme Court to prevent the calling
of last night's meeting. Justice Gerard
granted an injunction late yesterday, which
prevented the voting by proxy, but de
cided that the meeting could be held.
It v.-as found after the legal proceedings
that certain members had been Illegally
elected. Among them were ex-Judge K. 11.
Gary. Howard Gould. Rodman AVanamaker,
Edwin Gould, A. El. Pardington and Thomas

It developed a; ip.e meeting that a num
ber of bogus court orders had been mailed
to members on February j to convey the
impression that the Injunction had boon
granted restraining proxies from voting.
There was much excitement for h time
in the opposition 'amp, which wa? headed
by Thomas A. Hill and G. L.. M. Borglum,
following a;; attempt to have the senders

thai these orders wore simply a state

STUDEXTS OX STIitKIC.
Resent Discharge of Favorite
Instructor at Academy.
East Greenwich, r. i.. c b. 7. -All but
one of the forty rodent pupils and a
majority of the boarding students at
East Greenwich Academy refused to at
tend school to-day because a favorite
instructor, C. S. Holbrcok. of Shelburne
Falls, Mass., was discharged last week.
The feeling of the pupils has also af
fected apparently the sentiment of the
townspeople to such an extent that the
future existence of the academy, which
i? over a century old, is threatened by
the decision of many citizens to-night to
withdraw their children from the acad
emy and send them to another school
unless the difficulty i.« satisfactorily
5-ettled within H few days. The Key.
C. A. Stonchouse. president of the acad
emy, appeared before the school commit
tee of the town to-night to explain his
action, but the result of the meeting was
not made public.
The boys and girls declared to-day
that Mr. Holbroolc had been an efficient
teacher and had created a fraternal
feeling among- the student?, and they
said that a change in the. teaching: staff
In mid-year meant a serious setback to
their studies. Mr. Stenhousc issued a
statement in which ho declared that a
student had presented him a legal con
tract requiring- the President to retain
Mr. Tlolbrook's services or forfeit sev
era! hundred dollars. The president sa:d
he thought this document was false and
declared he saw the teacher and lieu
tenants picket the grounds and turn
back several pupils.

[By Telegiaph to Tho Tribune]
Kansas City. Mo.. Feb. Patrick

iTiake, any claim to distinguished kinship
when lie entered a plea, of guilty in Jus

informed the court. "My husband is a

CARRIES BABY OVER CORNICE.
Woman Makes Way to Safety at Fire
Over Narrow Ledge.
A fire which the police think was of a
auspicious nature at ■ No. 437 West 30th
street last night rendered eighteen families,
mostly Italians, practically homeless. The
building is a five story double brick tene
ment bouse. On the rirst floor above the
stores the janitor Lena Brudze, -was with
her three-months-old baby. A little crirl
opened the door and was met with a puff
of smoke, and at the same time Mrs.
Brudze saw the reflection In a mirror of
tire in the hallway and stairs. It was use
less lor them to attempt to escape, that
way, so they sot out on tho tire escape,
and. helped by her husband, the woman
v.alked across a piece of cornice -work
about a foot and a half wide and seven
feet long, to the adjoining- souse, carrying
the baby.
The lire made rapid headway, but the
families on the fourth and titth Boors es
caped over the roof to adjoining buildings.
