That at the time the will of Har-
vey Wilson was made, Earl r. Will

that he left Marion Jan. Is, 1907 and
later was reported to Harvey Will
son to be dead and was believed
dead by him. Wilson's wife year
later filed an affidavit in the probate
court, stating that she believed him
upon. Section 5961 OF the Revised
Statutes o. Ohio is quoted as entitled
Earl II. Wilson to the same share of
his fathers estate lin this case one
third as II the parent had died with
out making n will Harvey Wilson in
the will that was admitted to probate
left his estate valued at oev r$400,-
900 to Wilson r. Dumble, Henry w.

will declare the will probated not u
be the last will and testament of
the deceased and that the court de-
clare him to be entitled to one third

CORPORATION TAX IS OPPOSED
FIRST PROTEST FROM CHICAGO
ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCE.
5000 Firms and Others Claim Pro-
posed Measure Would Be an Act
Of Great Injustice.

The first protests against the proposed
corporation tax amendment came In yes
terday. Illinois representatives received
copies Of a telegram from Edward w.
Skinner, president Of the Chicago As
ISOLATION of Commerce, as follows
1.-The Chicago Association of Commerce,
composed of 5000 firms, corporations and
individuals, today passed the following
resolution and instructed me to forward
copy to you:
Whereas there is proposition before
Congress to tax the net incomes of cor
porations and whereas such a proposed
tax, especially as applied to mercantile,
manufacturing and industrial corpora
tions, would be an act Of great injustice.
as copartnerships engaged in exactly the
same business are not so taxed,
Resolved, That the Chicago Association
of Commerce vigorously protests against
such legislation which places a serious
burden upon mercantile, manufacturing
and industrial corporations and omits the
individual and copartnership engaged in
similar or competitive lines OF business"
Cites Situation Elsewhere.
1t is said that the foregoing cites a sit
uation which exists in many large cities
WleTe SOI1e OIL the great dtpdI
stores and wholesale houses are incor-
porated, while their equally strong rivals
are conducted as copartnerships. Under
the proposed law the corporations will
not only be taxed, but will have to make
public their earnings, expenses, debts and
general details Of business in their an
nual reports, which, when filed with the
commissioner of internal revenue, be-
come public records and open for inspec-
ton by the express terms Of the law.
Much to the disappointment of the Sen
ate leaders the corporation tax amend
ment will not be taken up next Monday,
as it was impossible to complete the tar
if schedules Saturday evening. Cbton.
cotton ties and bagging and one or two
other contested items went over until
Monday, and onrthat day the iron Sched-
ule will be reoRened to enable Senator
Cummins to offer some amendments.
Constitutional Questions.
The most optimistic1Senate leaders give
ten days or two weeks of debate on the
corporation tax. but no one knows how
long will really be required.
There are constitutional questions for
the great constitutional lawyers, such as
Bacon, Bailey, Rayner and others to
tackle; revenue questions for Senator
Aldrich to explain and the general fea-
lures OF interest to the public at large
for all the guardians in the Senate Of
the common people to handle.

PEACE PROCLAIMED LOUDLY.
Meeting of Gar and Kaiser Pro
vokes London Comment.

LONDON, June 26.-Lord Rosebery's
"ominous hush has been slightly dis
turbed this week by two imperial utter
ances. 1t sounds both cynical and par
adoxical to say that the kaiser's loud
proclamation of his peaceful policy
caused anything approaching to appre-
hension in the diplomatic world, but dip
lomatists have good memories, and they
point out the peculiar coincidence tnat on
almost every occasion when Kaiser Will
helm has made a particularly strong
peace declaration during the past few
years 1t has been preliminary to some
aggressive move by Germany in inter-
national affairs which has disturbed and
alarmed Europe
This time, however, the car has loire
in proclaiming himself an ardent apostle
Of peace, and there is no good reason
for doubling his sincerity. despite the
fact that his utterance is coincident with
laying down four Dreadnoughts of the
largest dimensions in the yaros at the
mouth of the Neva.
Never. indeed, has peace been cried so
loudly throughout Europe. Never also
has there been a situation which Patrick
Henry's memorable phrase SO fittingly
describes: THE gentlemen may cry
Peace. peace but there 10 no peace"
