Ladies and Gentlemen-I thank you
most heartily for your invitation to the
National Song and Music Festival OF
the Northeastern Federation of Singing
Societies of America. The songs you
sing in my beloved mother tongue
como 10 me like a breath of air from
my home life. No people respond so
readily TO the charm of good fellow

reason for our weli-known prediction
to form societies.
In doing this they are entirely free
from the desire TO keep themselves sep
arate from their fellow citizens, for
they have become good Americans.
But II there is anything where German
culture has really conquered the world

in part:
we are here in the metropolis of our

the reason and the meaning OF
this celebration is. our answer shall
be: TIC preserve the love TO our Ger

in the hearts of our German-American
citizens, and 10 raise the desire In the
hearts of our American citizens to
learn that language. There are mill
lions of Germans In this coun7

CORD|TT TELLS
Of WORK DONE
BY POLICE CHIEFS
Thinks Plan to Hold Interia'
tional Congress in Washing
ten q Good One.

Chief of Police Michael corbitt re-
turned IN Saturday night from Buffalo,
where he had been attending the an
nual convention of the International
Association Of Police Chiefs. He says
the convention WAS very interesting
every day, as much work concerning
the handling of criminals was trans
acted and steps were taken TO make
police work more effective.
The most important matter discussed
was the apprehension of Black Hand
criminals. At the suggestion of Major
sylvester, president OF the association
and superintendent of the Washington
police department. it was decided to
cal for a police congress" In Wash
ington next year, when the heads of
all police departments in the world
viii b. invited TO attend.
The need for more active cooperation
between the authorities. 1t was said,
would eventually end the depredations
of the Black Hand Society and other
organizations that are a terror to So
ciety today.
close ntch ON CRIMINALS.
A plan Will be suggested at the
police congress" wherein every coun-
try will be informed when w~eil-known
criminals leave the country for other
places, and photographs as well as
other means of identification will be
sent out, and in that way ii Is be-
lieved criminals and undesirable citi-
zens can be kept under surveillance at
all times and help to stamp out the
worst criminals.
Chief Corbitt said that several of
the delegates in speaking on suppress
sion of crime, said the judges in the
courts were in a measure largely TO
blame for the existence of much OF the
crime Of today, in that they are alto
sgether too lenient with the criminals,
and often police officials are made the
defendants in courts by some lawyers
who are moi over-zealous OF the welfare
of society.

heard to express their displeasure at
the light sentences that have been
melted out to members of the so-called

meted out to them the society would
soon go out of existence.

CORPORATION TAX
THOUGHT SURE TO
PASS The SENATE
President and Republican FL
nance Committee Members
in Perfect Agreement.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-President
Taft entertained at dinner last night
all the Republican members of the
Ser ate finance committee and Senator
Root. after which there was a confer
ence on the subject of the proposed tax
on the net earnings of corporations.
Owing to the absence of Secretary
Knox and Attorney-Genera wickers-
ham very little was accomplished be-
yond a general discussion that left no
doubt that the President and the Sen
ate leaders are in absolute harmony
ard enthusiastically In favor of the
adoption of the corporation tax propo-
sition as an amendment to the tariff
bill.
Today the President, Mr.. Knox and
Mr.. Root will draft the proposed
amendment, which will be sent to Sena-
tor Aldrich for presentation to the
Senate. 90
1t may b. stated authoritatively thai
the amendment will apply to all cor
porations, without regard to their capt.
tai stock. but 1t is likely the tax will
apply only to earnings in excess OF
$4,000 a year
Another important feature discussed
last night related to the interest on
bonds Of corporations. The consensus
Of opinion was that the tai should not
apply to such interest for the reason
hat in many cases 1t would amount to
double taxation. Particularly would
this be the case of savings banks which
hold the bonds of corporations.
Senator Aldrich told the President
that a 2 per cent. tax on the earnings
of corporations, according to the best
information available, would produce
about $40, 000.O 600 of revenue annually.

PRESIDENT MUCH GRATIFIED

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20.
!; President Roosevelt today is
gratified at the reports coming
from California following the
publication of his letter to Gov
ernor Gillett, requesting the hold
ing up of all anti-Japanese meas
ures in the California legislature.
) The president is confident that
public sentiment Is supporting
him and it is understood that the
possibility of a war with Japan
entered the situation, although no
actual suggestion of a possible
rupture in the event California
should pass the measure contem-
plated has been made.
1t is known positively that Bar
On Takahira, the Japanese ambas-
sador to America, courteously
pointed to the threatening hostile
legislation in California and sug-
gested taht such action could be
construed by Japan as .repudia-
ton of the agreement between the
two countries.

LIABILITY
MEASURE
OFFERED

OLYMPIA, Jan. 20.-The lum-
bermen have an employers liabil-
lity law in Olympia which will
make it's formal appearance with
in the next few days. The prime
motive of the bill, on the face of
1t, appears to be to cut the attor-
ney for the injured workman out
of his fees. The men behind the
measure contend that when a
workman is injured, the attorney
who handles his case gets the big
share of the damages and the
court costs eat up large share
|Of the remainder.
This bill, if it becomes a law,
will permit a workman who does
not draw over $500 year, to re-
gain damages without attorneys
or court costs. While the employ
ers appear anxious to cut off the
attorneys end of the damage suit,
they do not seem to be minded
to share this saving with the
workman.
The limit damages for death, to
be paid to heirs, including all de-
pendent relatives, is $4,000. IL
case of permanent disability the
workman may get three years
pay at the rate received at the
time of injury, provided the sum
shall not exceed $4,000. The
scale fixed for partial disability
depends upon the judge and the
salary the man received, but it
must not exceed $40 a week.
This bill does not prevent an
injured workman from bringing
action for damages under the pres
ent statutes, but he may only bring
action under one or the other. He
may sue with his attorney if he
prefers and take his chance with
the jury, or begin action under
this law, where there will be no
jury.
The proposed measure has not
got to the labor lobby yet, as ev-
cry effort is being made to keep
lit secret until the proper time. 1t
is essentially an employers bill,
and such will undoubtedly meet
with the opposition of union labor.
While drawn for the benefit of the
men engaged in the lumber indus
try, it will include laborers of all
classes.
