Special by Leased Wire to The Call
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—There
was published in Wall street to
day what purported to be an ab
stract of the address to be deliv
ered by William H. Taft, secre
tary of war, on Monday before
the Buckeye" Republican club in
Columbus, O. The publication
had a depressing effect, 'on the
stock market, causing it to sell off
sharply. This was due to the fact
that the alleged abstract showed
no indications of any retreat from or
modification of ' the administration's
aggressive campaign to regulate cr*r
porations. The publication was made
by the Wall Street' Journal under'date
of Columbus, 0., and said:
. "From Intimate friends of the sec
retary It Is learned that in his remarks
.here he will explain; defend and un

"He thinks the rate bill- does not go
far enough, and will recommend that
it shoul4_4>e'-aJßended so as to g-ive the

fchould be permitted to issue stock, or
bonds without, certification from the
commission that the proceeds were., to
be devoted to a' legitimate railroad pur
pose,-- such- as betterments .of ; road and
equipments, and that railroads should
be prohibited from purchasing stock in
competing lines. -
"In the, discussiou of these amend
ments, the secretary, it is • said, will
not mince .words in his condemnation
of. unscrupulous stock .-manipulators,
etc. In this connection he will pay his
respects to Harriman as 'exercising a

"He will oppose government owner

He will favor a prevision of the tariff

tbe supreme court declare an income

"He will deny, that Roosevelt Is re
sponsible for the hostile attitude of
states toward railroads, or for the pres

charge that the railroads brought: it

former Illegal practices."
