passenger departments and the local
agents With selling cut-rate tickets from
Tacoma 10 Boston, was dismissed in the
Federal court today because the principal
witness for the prosecution, Frank 6.
Kretchmer. the detective of the interstate
commission, who worked MP the case. has
since died. The interstate commission
went TO much pains and expense IN the
preparation of this case, and upon il ex-
pected TO test its authority to regulate the
rates of the Canadian Pacific railroad so
far as discrimination was concerned. 1t
has been reported to the commission that
this road was cutting rates to competing
points In the United States from points
also in this country. kretchmer worked
on the case for couple of months. and
finally had Mrs Katharine Nellis, OF Bur
lington, VT, his secretary, . very clever
woman, come here and purchase q
ticket to Boston at q cut rate.
Every precaution was taken to establish
the guilt of the railroad company. and the
grand jury eighteen months ago brought
in its indictment. After futile effort to
serve President Van Horne he went into
the United States and acknowledged SER
vice. Don Dickinson was engaged to de-
fend him. and an effort was to have been
made to show that the Canadian Pacific
had the right to cut rates as foreign cor
poration, on the ground that it might
assume that the charges made were for
service only from the point in the United
States to the Canadian border and again
from the border back into the United
States. In particular it was desirable to
establish the responsibility OF the chief
officers, but no evidence was secured show
ing that the head officers had issued cut
rate orders. This was an important faw
in the evidence OF the prosecution.

wAsHrseros CIrY. June N.-Todsy the
senate passed the bill to amend the act
providing for the time and place of hold
ing terms of the United States court in the
state of Washington.
The debate on the income tax provisions
of the tariff bill was resumed. the pend
ing amendment being that of Alli-
son TO exempt corporations, COM
panies or associations having q
capital stock of less than 500 600.
Hill took the door. The theory of the in
come tax. he said, exempted individual
investments unless the income exceeded
=. 600, but no such limitation existed as TO
corporations. He could see no reason for
the distinction. He thought some amend
small corporations the same exemption as
is granted to individuals.
Vest in reply said that under the present
tariff system citizens paid upon consump-
ton. 1t was unjust and unequal. The
poor paid practically as much as the rich.

ais. whether the figure was the correct
one or not, was the amount fixed
as the cost of living. Cor
porations consumed nothing; they
were entitled TO no exemption, and
should have none. Vest thought the bill
was peculiarly Just and considerate of cor
porations. If the rule that applied to in
dividuals was to be applied to corpora
tions. the exemption of s., 900 should be
allowed and corporations exempted.
Hill modified his amendment so as to
exempt corporations whose capital and
surplus did not exceed 500 900. the cost of
insurance, etc.. of any manufacturing or
trading company to be considered in esti-
mating the expense. Hill finally decided
to withdraw his amendment altogether.
Several amendments were offered ex-
empting corporations, stock companies
and other associations. but they were each
in turn lost.
Aldrich offered an amendment to ex-
empt savings banks organized on the mu-
tual plan, solely for the benefit of their de-
positors. 1t was accepted.
Vest, in the same connection, offered an
amendment, which was agreed to, ex-
empting mutual savings banks conducted
for the benefit of dspositors in the state of
Delaware.
Hill moved to amend section 90 to pro-
vide for the inspection of accounts of cor
porations subject to the tax. so as to limit
the time of inspection to the period be-
tween March anu August /. Adjourned.
