Possibility That the Measure May
Not Be Reported Tomorrow. As
Expected
HARTFORD. July i9.—-Opposiliou to
the socalled Barnum public utilities
bill, It is asserted. is growing so strong
that there Is a possibility that the bill
will not be reported tomorrow as the
ireport of the majority of nine of the
eleven members of the committee.
" There remains yet the chance for an
other committee meeting at which an
effort will be made to harmonize the
views of the committee. which coudl
ilou at one time had been reached. It
is now claimed that the bill. which
has been printed was to have been
kept III confidence until one more com-
mittec meeting was held when the ma-
jority members were to make another
plea in behalf of a draft of a bill which
had been drawn up b3 a sub committee
as embodying the views of the com
mlttse as shown by votes on individual
features. But it is claimed that out
‘side interests then interfered and
drew up the bill which is now known
as the Barnum bill It Is claimed
that the latter bill was drawn up by
a New York lawyer but those who
have studied the measure assert It
must have been drawn up by corpora-
tion lawyers who have intimate know"
,ledge of Connecticut statute law. [It
case of no agreement the minority
will submit a bill drawn on the lines
of the. bill, prepared by the commis-
sion of two years ago. but changed
in a-grsnt many respects. This meas
are. if passed. would compel corpora~
: tions to seek authority to do things
from the commission. The view held
by many Who'hsve studied the Barnum
; bill Is thatmnder the guise of restrict-
Ing the corporations it gives them al-
most unlimitsd pOWers In every direc-
tion and would delegate to a commis-
tbi sion power which rightly belongs to
the general assembly The bill now
held by the, minority members is de
clued to be with “teeth.“ lt abolishes
the railroad commission and gives the
commission of three members the pow-
er to regulate matters appertaining to
the public safety. the Iates and ser-
vice. of corporations, regulates capital
isution and the Issuance of stock and
bonds, and provides for publicity of
statistics of corporation. 'lhc bill. It
is said. does not go so far fm33iII'd
as some of the cxticmisis on the sub-
ject desire. but it takes up each sub
ject and makes a definite provision on
each.
On the Barnum bill If presented. it
Is estimated that members who oppos-
ed the minority report will have so
many amendments to offer that it will
be literally torn to pieces. Since the
publicstion of the Barnum but, the op-
position If'ns become so pronounced

Commissioner Smith Points Out Cou-

opcrulion between railways and water-
W433 seems absolute-I3 necessnv3 to
insure a reasonable and efficient use
of the inland watercourses of this
countr3.
This conclusion is reached in the
report of Herbert Knox Smith. coni-
missioner oflCorporatIons. in Part. ll
of his discussion of the subject of
Transportation by Water, which his
bureau has been InVestlgalIng for
many months. The second but of
the report was transmitted to Presl-
dcnt 'l‘aft today. it deals with traffic
by water. and portions of it are par-
ticularly suggestive and significant.
it is pointed out by Commissioner
Smith that “it Is a public evil that
the entire transportation system of
the i‘nited States should be. as now.
at odds with itself through destructive
competition, while the transportation
needs of the public suffer."
"Traffic in Itself." the report can
tlnucs. “is a necessity for the proper
development of a waterway. State
and federal work must be supplement
ed by initiative, especially In loi'IIIl
unis and equipment, and private in
itlntivc will come III only when there
Is reasonable chance of enough traffic
to 'niukc l1 profitable. One of the
great questions, therefore, Is the ques-
tion of how to secure for the inland
rliers and canals it reasonable share
of the countr3 s trafl'lc.‘

About «in. 000. 000 tons of ore were
transported In 1907 eastward, and
about 17..000000 tons of coal were.
moved westward in 1906. These great
