PARIS, Nov 10-At the conclusion of
the Steinheil case Minister of Justice Bar
thou will propose certain changes of pro-
cedure in the trial courts of France. This
decision of the minister, made known to-
day, was influenced largely by the criti-
cism expressed in the United States and

through the operation of which the pre-
siding judge appears in the role OF pros

ton of 'fnterrogatoiFe' and confide to the

defense the task of examining the accus-
ed and the witnesses. ....
During the examination of the cook

passionate protests. When Marietta

to Madame ,SteinbeiL she found refuge
in the plea that7 she had been too much

The testimony of Marietta Wolf, like
that Of ner son, Alexandra, who followed
her on the stand, was wholly favorable
TO the defendant. Alexandra admitted
that the accused woman had been in the
habit of addressing him as thou" and
that she had kissed him on New Years

A witness Of much interest was
Maurice Borderel, the wealthy merchant
and former friend of the prisoner. One
Of the motives alleged against Nine.
Steinheil was desire to rid herself Of
her husband in order that she might

The witness also made an excellent
impression upon the jury by the frank

association with the accused; despite
the revelations which had been made to
him concerning the woman's character
Borderel could not be shaken in his
conviction that the woman was wholly
innocent OF the crime. He was rather
vague in his replies when questioned
as to his intentions regarding a re-

RULINGS
AS to Exemptions of Corpora
ton Taxes Are Made by
Department.

Collector George E. Work, Of the
internal revenue office, has received
from the treasury department the
rulings OF the department in the
preparation OF assessment lists OF
corporations. etc, subject to the sps-
cal excise tax. which covers al!
points.
One of these rulings on corpora
tons claiming exemptions from the
tax is of interest to all the corpora
tions claiming exemption, as it will
require more than mere state.
ment that they are not subject to the
tax. but sworn statement must be
fled containing all information on
the subject.
The ruling on this feature, furnish
ed by the department, reads as fol.
.lcws::
In such cases where exemption is
claimed solely on the ground that
the annual net receipts have not ex-
ceeded $1,000, a sworn return on the
prescribed form will nevertheless be
required. as provided in paragraph
2. Article | or regulation 81. But
where exempti9s Is claimed under
any of the specially enumerated ex-
emptions in paragraph 1, Sec. 3S of
the Act, a sworn statement fully set
ting forth the ground on which sucn
exemption is claimed may be append
ed to blank form of return. which
return and statement should be in
every case forwarded to this office
for examination. The filing of such
blank return, however. will not .ex-
empt the corporation from the PEN
atty imposed for failuge to file the
regular prescribed return in case the
corporation Is not entitled to the ex-
emption claimed; and all such cor
porations filing blank returns should
be SO notified by the collector"
