TRUSTS WILL
NOT PAY.

Dover, Del, August u. 1t is tho
Intention Of Secretary OF State Lay
ton to push his demands upon repre-
sentatives of foreign corporations for
a $50 tax into the Courts unless the
representatives comply with the law.
The Secretary is much concerned
over a misinterpretation Of his recent
manifesto issued to the various repre-.
sentatives, making the depand upon
them, a, required by law. 1t has
been published that this demand was
upon the lawyers who represent com.
panies chartered in this State, and
that it would be a knockout blow to
the corporation business at Dover.
The fact is, however, that not one
Of the concerns chartered at Dover
will be called upon to pay one penny
in addition to their franchise and an
..nual State taxes demanded. These
are not "foreign corporations, but
most decidedly are domestic or home
corporations.
As not more than SO corporations
which came into this State to do BUS
mess had paid the $50 fee and filed at
the State House a statement OF their
affairs. Secretary Layton began his
Investigation, and now has a certified
list, showing $50 foreign corporations
doing business in New Castle County,
and nearly 200 corporations at work
in Sussex. Kent County's list in.
cludes over so.
Thus the State is losing the license
of 300 concerns in New Castle County
and, possibly, 100 in Sussex, which if
the law were complied with. would
give the State an additional revenue
of 800 100.

Ir is rsmored that the Peoples
Railway Company will w'thia a
mon,h carry passengers over las
lines within the city limits for
three cent fare. The idea is to
give the working people the pppor-
tunlty to travel cheaper than ever
on the trolley lines. For a city the
size OF Wilmington a three cent
fare will be remarkably cheap aud
it remains to be seen whether the
reduced fare will pay the trolley
company. The Wilmington City
Railway Company sell six tickets
for IS cents, over any OF its lines
making the fare four and a sixth
part of a cent each ride. This is
said to be what put the idea into
the head OF the management OF the
Peoples Railway to make a three
cent fare.

Letter Received From North

Recalls a Mysterious Murder
Which Occurred About Five
Years Ago.


Special to Times Republican.
Scranton. March 5-Scranton has
Matchmaking sensation. S ONE three
weeks ago MIR. j. e. Moss received a
letter from Cando. S. D., demanding
s100q for the silence of the writer about
matters which Mr. Moss was presumed
to understand, which occurred al his
home several years ago. Mr.. Moss 8 one
of Greene courty's wealthiest farmers.
and has a justly earned reputation of
demanding atleast value for his money,
and hence paid little attention5to this
blackmailer. Yesterday he received a
second letter which IL more explicit in
its charges, and connects him by infer
ence with the dead man found in a corn
field north OF town five years ago, who
had evidently been murdered, a. nlys
terry which has never been explained.
The writer of the letter names one r.. p.
sNiyrs. now of Cando but once a resident
OF this place. and states that he, too, is
in possession of evidence in regard to
this matter which is very damaging to
Mr.. Moss. He says that detectives are
hunting for this evidence, and thai un-s
less he receives 500 at once it Will be
furnished. He requests that the money
be sent to 7. NJ. Fee. Csando, N. d., and
says ii will be turned over to him. 1t
is evidently a Matchmaking scheme, but
it has renewed interest in a crime cons
United five years ago and may be the
means of bringing ssmething to light.
