W. H. Taft.Several Committees

Named to Report Tomorrow.

Predicting a renewal of prosperitywhen the rountry is settled down to a

r.ffiil.f anil le«<? strenuous existence.President Frank D. I,a Lanne of the NationalBoard of Trade, made the openingaddress at the meeting of that body inthe W11 lard Hotel at noon today.The National Board of Trade includes

In Its membership thirty-eight boardsof trade and chambers of commerce allover the country. It will hold a threedaysession here and discuss many mattersof public interest. Vhe bulk ofwork will be in drafting resolutionswhich will be presented to Congress.The members will call on PresidentRoosevelt tomorrow afternoon, and willhave a banquet in the hotel in the evening.Address by President La Lanne.The most interesting feature of today's

session was the address of PresidentI.a Lanne. He said the country is progressingin its recovery from the panic,and he hopes there will be a completerestoration of business confidence withoutfurther threats of disturbing legislation.Incidentally, he said the board fully indorsesthe course of issuing bonds for$.100000.000 in aid of river and harborimprovements and the conservation offorests and other natural resources. Hedeclared the country is fortunate in itsconsular representatives abroad, and thata recent trip had proved to him thatAmerican consuls were of a higher typethan the business representatives of othernations."An important question of interest to

the business men of this nation." he continued."is so amending the Sherman antitrustlaw as will admit of proper andreasonable combinations in trade. £v«ryIntJtanftfcf Af pAnc^fiiiAnno of np^MsitVviolates the spirit If not the letter of thislaw. and if it were enforced as all lawsshould be. it would so demoralize the tradeof the country that we would not k recoverfrom it In a decade. The best illustrationI have seen of the point I wish to makeappeared in an eastern financial journal.It was substantially as follows:

In Restraint of Trade."A and B are bricklayers, they combine

and agTee that they will not lay bricks forleas than $0 per day and refuse to renderserrlee for less than that price or to workwith others who serve at a lower price.aMl this act is considered lawful, and Ibelieve has been sustained by our courts.A and B conclude there is more money Inmaking bricks than in laying them, andeach one decides to engage In the manufactureof bricks. They also agree thatthsy will not sell bricks for less than astated price per thousand. As I understandit. this last agreement is unlawfuland in restraint of trade."Free art would be a great advantage

to the education of many. Americans,perhaps, may not be able to travel abroadfor art study, and as the artists areunited for free art (for it is found thatmost works of art find their way intomuseums* your resolutions on that subjectI Would advise be more sweepingthan those of last year, for then you onlyadvocated what Is now the law.

Mentions "A National Disgrace.""The failure of Congress to enact reme.

s dfal laws In connection with our merchantmarine Is a national disgrace. It Isa "patriotic matter and not a party one.The national board of trade should urgeon Congress that it shall no longer turnaside from the obvious duty of so readjustingthe commercial legislation of theUnited States as to permit the mercantileunity of this country to compete on fairlyequal terms with the mercantile marinesof foreign nations."Allow me to suggest that the developmentof the Inland waterways adds anotheremphasts to the demand for some

federal law under which corporations maybe formed for the purpose of carrying oncommerce between the several states."Referring to tariff legislation, the

speaker said that whatever changes aredecided on should be made quickly. Inorder to relieve the business communityfrom Impending uncertainty.

Sends Telegram to Taft.The National Board of Trade sent the

following telegram today to William H.Taft:"The National Beard of Trade, In conventionassembled for its thirty-ninth annualsession, pledges you its hearty supportIn your efforts for the advancement

of the general business interests of thecountry, to the end that your administra.lion shall be distinctly one in which theprosperity of our nation shall be bestconserved."Committees were appointed at the

IPIER COLLAPSES WITH SNOW. <

£

Lumber Carried Into Water Witb fBreaking* of Support. «

A large section of the outer end of the Jold pier at the foot of 9th street southwest,on which the schooner J. D. Mar-ici nan uiociiaigiiig <f uargu ox uuk lumberfrom the Pamunkey river, Va., col- Jlapsed during the snowstorm of Saturdaynight and dropped Into the river.The Marvel was lying at the end of the

dock. Slie prevented the wharf and lum- *ber from going over into the river and 1

caused them to drop straight down. 1

The broken timbers of the wharf show s

sound wood. It Is supposed the weight 1

of snow and sleet on the lumber was suf- 1flelent to overcome the strength of the rpler and It was crushed down.The greater part of the pile of lumber, t

about 50.000 feet in all, is showing above awater. It is thought all of it can be re- ccovered with the tise of lighters.The lumber Is the property of Johnson

& Wimsutt of this city. Yesterday teamswere employed in removing the lumberleft on the portion of the pier still stand- ting.As soon as the weather conditions will

allow, the lumber on the broken portion ofthe pier will be recovered and the pier rrebuilt. (

NO ICE CUT YET. \But Maine Ponds Are Fast Harden- |

ing Deep Enough for Purpose. eT'nless cutting has started within the t

past day or two. no ice has yet been 2taken out of Maine ice fields. The Ameri- ccan Ice Company and the owners of in- s

dependent storage houses were preparing c

to start work as soon as the ice reached >a sufficient thickness.Latest reports from the Kennebec river

state that ice was not yet of sufficient F-U..» i -a '

At Boothbay and on the Maine ponds 1that supply a considerable portion of the sIce supply cutting wlil start before It adoes on the Kennebec. About flO.OUO tons fof Ice left over from last season is still

this city state that the cutting of ice 11would start this week. The ice is thick- ®

condition for cleanness and hardness than ^for several years past, and a good supplywill be obtained. fPractically all Ice used In New York e

comes from the Hudson, while the bulk ofthe fiO.Ou> tons used here In a summer is a

brought from the Maine fields. 1A prediction as to the sise of the harvest e

that will be made Is said to be Impossible 11just now. It will he two weeks or longer ?before any definite calculation of the 1amount that can be cut will oe^made. Itall depends on how cold the weather Is in B
