DOCTORS DISAGREE ON
"DEBUTANTE SLOUCH"
Com presses the Lungs, Says One
-Erect Attitude Has Dis
advantages, Another.
PlliLADKurniA, Juno 2. Philadelphia
medical opinion Is divided as to tho bene
fit or harrnfulnes.1 of the "debutante
slouch," but at least one eminent author
ity ridicules the declaration of Dr. Chan
nine of Chicago that this position Is
nearer the normal than tho upright atti
tude of the human body.
"Dr. Uarrett must have been mis
quoted," said Dr. II. Talt MacKcnrJe. ill
number of Important amendments to the
bill, nnd It wns In explanation of these
amendments that Mr. Clements made his
statement.
Representing the railroads at the hear
ing were Judge Robert H. lovett, presi
dent of the Union Pacific; A. 11. Harris,
general counsel for the New York Cen
tral ; J. V. Rlalr of the Southern Pacific
and Kdward s. Jouett, general counsel
for tho loulsvllle and Nashville.
"The proposed law regulating the Issu
ance of railroad securities should pre
vent the railroads from keeping any
memorandum of their affairs," said Com
missioner Cements. 'That this Is neceej
ary was thuwn In our Investigation at
Chicago In 1902, when railroad and traUlc
.Managers freely admitted they had paid
rebates und In other ways violated the
law, but had destroyed their records of
such transactions."
Hcnutor l.lppltt, a member of the com
mittee, suggestul there should be no ob
Jectlon to permitting tho railroads to
keep duplicate accounts, which the pro
posed bill prohibited.
"A Itnngerous Prnctlce."
Commissioner Clements said this was a
dangerous practice, for It was always a
temptation to conceal nutters that the
public should know.
Senator llrandegee asked Commissioner
Clements If he did not believe the rail
roads were being so closely fcujiervlsed
by the Department that It might Ulti
mately lead to Government ownership of
roads.
"1 dread the day when Government
ownership may come," tald Commissioner
Clements, "and I hope It will not come.
I believe, however, that the public U
hom-st and fair minded enough tu con-
cedo that the roads are entitled to rea- ,
sonable profits and that the people will
be willing to pjy the rates that will yield ,
thoso profits without forcing the Govern
ment to tuke over tho roads."
I Senator llrandegee suggested that tho
! tendency of Increasing Federal supervision
was forcing the Government into tnc posi
tion of controlling all the Income of roads
without assuming any responsibility. He
Intimated that capital would ultimately
refuse to Invest In rnllro.ul securities un
der these circumstances. Commissioner
Clements paid he did not believe this
would be true.
"What the public demands and has a
right to have," mid the Commissioner. "Is
knowledge that roads ussunie un Indebted
ness for the purpose of bettering the ser
vice, not of exploiting the mad for purely
financial purposes. If they lire sure of
this they will always bo ready to Invest
their money."
Cites nil Instance,
The Commissioner cited the Instance of
tho acquirement by the Atlantic Coast
Line of the Louisville mid Nashville some
years ago. This transaction, he charged,
was executed by J, P. Morgan merely for
the purpose of eliminating John W. Gates
nnd others. Gates having acquired control
of the Iiulsvllle and Nashville stock for
ubout 108 nnd selling It to Mr. Morgan
for 150.
"Not the value or a ten penny nan was
added to either road by this transaction,"
said Commissioner Clements "All It
meant wns that the wad was saddled with
a debt of about J5ii,000,000, most of which
Murdock. "The Progressive party Is not
hog tied like tho Democrats and Repub
licans. Wu vote our own sentiments."
'There has been some talk about
amalgamation," said Mr, Mann, "but the
so-called Progressive men who voted
for Roosevelt last time are coming back
to the Republican party. It Is not amal
gamation, and whatever the outcome may
be the gentleman from Kansas will bo
left In the cold. He was elected an a Re
publican. He repudiated the party that
he followed when ho was elected.
"When tho Progressives come back to
tho Republican party, as the. voters will,
these little so-called leaders In the House,
who csnnot think for themselves and have
no position until they have asked tho
Colond and who how cannot find from
the Colonel how they stand they can

enough of the voters will come back to
turn this Houso Republican next time."

Washington. June 2.- As a result of a
referendum conducted by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States the mem
bership of that organization went on rec
ord, 522 to 124, In favor of the creation
of nn Interstate trade commission of five
members, to be appointed by the Presi
dent and conilrmcd by the Senate, not
mom than three of whom shall be of the
same political party.
The Chamber of Commerce of tho
United States consists of the chambers
of all the Important cities of tho United
States, and tho referendum therefore re
flects accurately tho views of the busl
ness men of the United States.
The membership also adopted by a
vote of 531 to S9 a recommendation to
give the Interstate Trade Commission
Jurisdiction In conducting Investigations
of all corporations engaged In Interstate
commerce, except such as are amenable
to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Athlrd recommendation, that the In
terstate Trado Commission should not at
this time get authority to advise applicants
concerning the leagllty of proposed con
tracts, commissions, tc under the Hher
man law, was rejected by a majority of
live, the vote being 303 In favor and 30S
In opposition.
Only Lnrxe Corporations.
A fourth recommendation "that annual
ri ports of corporations. If required, at the
outset should be conllneit to the large cor
porations, say to those having capital re
sources of J5,0'J0iO00 or more, or to thoso
having un annual Income of J2.6u0.00O.
and to such other classes of corporations
ns tho commission may officially deter
mine," was passed by a vole of 512 to 91.
In Its fifth recommendation the legisla
tive committee urged that In the annual
report required to bo made to the commis
sion by corporations they ought not U; re
quired to disclose) trnde .processes, shop
costs, clussltlcatlon of sales and prmlts
among particular urtlcles, names of cus
tomers or other like private Information.
This was approved by a vote of 542 to 75.
Apparently the most popular recom
mendation of the, committee was thatfthe
jiubllcatlon of facts obtained by the com
mission l confined to such as are of pub
lic concern. This was approved, 673
to 47.
Th seventh recommendation was
adopted by n vote of 647 to 68. It urged
that Congress should require the Inter
state Trade Commission to Investigate and
report back to Congress at the earliest
practicable date, "the advisability of
amending the Sherman act to allow a
greater degree of cooperation In the con
duct, nnd for tW protection of the foreign
trade."
Another referendum has been bgun to
cover other recommendations for trust
legislation nuule toy the President, and this
will close on July 9.

Continued from Ftrtt Pope.
Washington, June 2. The Investiga

When Commissioner McChord adjourned
th hearing last week he handed Iewls
Cass L"dynril of New York, formerly a
director of the New Haven, a letter set
ting forth that the commission had can
celled Mr. Ledyurd's aubpomu to testify
and that If Mr. lcdyard decided to appear
and testify voluntarily and waive Immu
nity the commission would give consider
ation to the matter. Mr. Ledyard promptly
announced that he would waive Immunity,
nnd he has since written to the commission
asking for nn opportunity to answer some
of the statements made on the stand by
Charles S. Mellen, former president of the
New Haven. The commission will Inform
Mr. Ledvard whether It will allow- him to

It Is expected that when tho hearing Is

Does that mean that any person or per- j
sons organized or unorganized may as-1
semblo In or at tho house of a working I
man?"
"Tea, any number," agreed Mr. Vol
stead. "And Interfere with his peace and right
of employmentT' continued Mr. Moore.
"Is not that an Invasion of personal
liberty, to say nothing of an Invasion of
tho rights of property? Doe.s not this
tend to restrict the liberty and tabor of
the person owning ur occupying that
house r"
"I think It does," replied Mr. Volstead.
Cltlsens Rlshts fnvaded.
"Does not that mean an Invasion of
the constitutional right of the citizen and
thnt men, organized or unorganized, em
bittered agnlnst one of their number or
prejudiced In the extreme, may sit on the
doorstep of your house and discuss with
your wife while she is preparing tho eve
ning meal your right to work?"
Democrats combated Mr. Moore's con
tention that the rights of those In dls
puto with labor would be- abridged by
section 18. Mr. Moore angrily declared
that his contention was well founded and
Insisted that, under tho law ho would
not make (Ish of one class and fowl of an
other. He concluded:
"And If it be a crime In the presence
of tho labor representatives who have
tei-n In the galleries dictating this legis
lation for the last ten days to make this
declaration In favor of tho workingmcti
of this country regardless of union or
non-union, then I stand corrected by them
und I am grateful to say that I would not
voto for special legislation exempting
crime, nor for tho amendment offered
by tho gentleman from Kansas, Mr.
Murdock, who Is playing politics nnd has
been playing to tho galleries from one cJid
of this debate to the other."
Moore Chnrates Cowardice.
Mr. Moore churged that In adopt
ing the labor provision the Houso hd
yielded to bulldozing and tactics of ter
rorism employed by labor and had run
like a flock of sheep from the Issue, In
volved.
Shaking his fist at the gallery, where
sat Frank K. Morrison nnd other labor
leaders, Mr, Moore declared that he never
could subscribe to the "legal c!a.lllcn
tlons" sought by the unions e.r by any
other body of citizens. He charged In
effect that the House had submitted to
the unions In a spirit of cowardice and
that all lesponslble would eventually be
censured by the people.
Mr. Moore was angry because he had
been twitted by Mr. Murdock of Kansas,
Progressive, and others for Ills absence
from the House yesterday. He denied
that there was any doubt as to where ho
stood on tills proposition.
"I nm opposed to exempting any class
of citizens fiom prosecution under tho
laws," shouted Mr. Moore. "1 would hold
myself despicable If 1 ever voted to ex
empt Sam Gompers or Frank Morrison
or any other labor loader from tho op
erations of the criminal laws of this
country. I would not vote to exempt
them or John D. Rockefeller or nny oiu
else from these same laws. I would not
be Influenced In my view by tho presence
of these men In the galleries."
At this the labor leaders laughed sneer
Ingly. Mr. Moore wns enthusiastically ap
plauded as he concluded.
With tho Informal adoption by the
House to-day of the Clayton bill that
body has now disposed of two of the
anti-trust measures. Debate on the third
bill, which empowers the Interstate Com.
merco Commission to aupcrvlso the Is
sue of railway secur'tles, was begun lata
this nfternoon. It Is tho hope of tho
leaders to complete consideration of thf
railway capitalization bill on Saturday or
Monday. 'The three bills will th n be for

Blue Serge Suits
At "The Store Where Style Reigns Supreme"
The kingpin of summer suits,
the perennial favorite of clothes
dom, a practical institution in
the summertime wardrobe of
every well-dressed man.
A blue serge suit is to clothes
what shade trees are to a garden,
sea breeze to the beach or an
ocean dip to the tired city man.
It's a haven of refuge from the
high lights of innumerable mix

one.
They are here, half-lined, quarter-lined
