Power Granted By Charter Likely To Be Sought . at Once. tj'aahlngton, Nov. 13.—That the United States government has at Its command the means of a more effectlvq attack upon the Harrlman railroad sys tem than upon perhaps on any other American In the country, has been dis covered since the Interstate commence commission was set. to work upon It. Congress, when It chartered the orig inal union Pacific Company, expressly reserved special powers of limiting the earning*, and controlling the rates and charges of this system. Given Huge Subtidy. Under this charter the company wo* given an empire of public lands and a huge government subsidy. The lawyers who have been study ing the charter declare that there Is no question that It Is still In full effect as to all such provisions. When It took up the Inquiry Into the uffalrs. of this system the commission was ut a loss where to begin, there having .been no specific complaint against It. Discov ery of this old charter provision. .It Is stated, assures that the government may enjoy tlib widest latitude of In vestigation. Otnial Is Expscted. It Is furthoi 1 declared by experts that the earnings of the syntqnt have long passed the line at which government regulative power becomes effective. Thjs Is the putnt on which l| Is ex pected the managers of the huge sys tem will make their chief contest. They ure expected to deny that the earn ings huve reached such a point. * The president, under the charter of the Union Paclflc, has absolute power governing rates and earnings. It Is de clared that earnings now far exceed that figure, and that its much can read ily be demonstrated by Judicial process. Therefore, congress can absolutely fix rates and charges, and with that power —a far mgre specific and drastic power than It has over other roads—It can drive the Harrlman Interests to Its knees.

Roosevelt Thinks Inherit ance Tax May Be Just • the Thing. Washington. Nov. 13.—Before Presi dent Roosevelt left Washington on his trip tq Panama, he virtually completed the message he will send to congress next month. The message this year will rank In Importance,with others which Mr. Roosevelt has transmitted during his Incumbency, und It Is possible to give a forecast of Its principal features. To Regulate Fortunes. Without doubt the most vital redbm- niendatlon relates to the necessity of formulating a method of regulating the growth of great fortunes In this coun try. The president will urge. congress to devise u scheme of progressive taxa tion on all fortunes beyond a certain amount, either given In life or devised or bequeathed upon death to any Indi vidual. He believes It has nn unwhole some effect upon .the MBMM* weal for swollen estates to pass from gener ation to generation, and he would like to see a tax so framed a. ».> put It out of the power of the owner of one nf these fortunes to hand down mere than a certain portion to any one Individual. Congress Has Powsr. He la convinced that congress pos sesses the constitutional authority to Impose such a tax, and h|s opinion Is based upon the Judgment of some of the best lawyer* and Jurists In the country. lie will suggest that stlch a methpd of taxation be made to apply merely to the Inheritance or tranamls- ston of fortunes which has reached an unhealthy limit. Second. In Importance will be a rec ommendation for an enactment giving the Federal government supervisory authority over corporations engaged In Interstate commerce. It la not hla pur pose to.furnish specifications as to the manner In which this power should be exercised, whether by Federal license or otherwise, but he will Insist that It Is of paramount Importance that the government be vested with such au thority In order- to depl effectively with the far-reaching evlla of over-capitali sation. * (The Standard of Quality Snowdrift FOOT HUNG ONTBESTLE, WOMAN KILLED BYTRAIN Hpes'lnl to Tlii» fleorgluu.
