 This was the wire that came to President Chambers from Mike Finn yesterday morning, and last night Archie left for New Orleans to join the Little Rock team.
 Yesterday vast the last day of the waiver rule that had been asked by the Montgomery club on Persons Thursday. If no club in the southern League took advantage of the ruie and claimed the 'player before last night, the Montgomery club was al liberty to sell him wherever they wanted to.
 Mike Finn started the negotiations for Persons when waivers were first asked on him last Thursday. and all of that day and late in the night he figured out every possible combina- tion that he thought would land the player The first proposition that he made Thursday morning was to trade. but President Chambers turned him down on that by telling him that nothing but a cash proposition for the Cocash was the man that Finn wanted to throw in the trade, but as the out. field of the Climbers now Is the best in the Southern League, there would have been no place for Cocash even as a utility man, as most of the pitchers Greminger has, can play the outlfeio 2 better than the majority Of regular gardeners on other clubs.

GIVES TAFT CREDIT
LONGWoRTH TALKS OF CORPORA TION TAX PROVISION.
Believes Substantial Increase In Rev enue Imperative and Predicts Poi- fey of Taxing Wealth Will
 Be Permanent.

Washington, July 3i.-Representa- tive Longworth. of Ohio, in dtscusslns the tariff bill in the House today spoke in advocacy of the corporation tax pro vision. He expressed the beliet mat d substantial addition -to, the revenue IS necessary, not only for the purpose Of paving of the deficit, but also to pro- vide for a larger expenditure than has hitherto been made for the improve n>ent of our inland waterways. He Aiso predicted that 1t will be the settleo policy of this government hereafter to tax certain sources of wealth which to- day pay no tax to the soVsFhhe"s'
 Mir. Longworth said:
 q have heard 1t frequently said here -I heard 1t said only the other day by the leader of the Democracy, the dis- tinguished gentleman from Missouri, MT. Clark (and MT. Clark's statement was greeted with great applause on that side of the ehamber)--that thls proposition (the corporation tax) was evolved merely for the purpose of beat ing the income tax in the Senate. have no hesitation in agreeing to nart of this statement. It did peat the kind of income tax that was proposed in the Senate, and | am glad Of it, But withk the other part of the statement of the gentleman from Missouri. thai the corporation tax was evolveo TOT that purpose, l take issue, for 1t was evolved. practically in all its details long before the Bailey-Cumnlhs amendment was ever heard or, -betore even this Congress was called Into eX- tra session.
 ''There Is one man, and only one man. who is primarily responsible for the evolution of the corporation tax and he is the President of the United States and if 1t shall become part of the permanent law of the country. as be- iieve 1t will, he Is entitled to all the credit for 1t. know of my own knowledge that the thing was In his mind many months before he was in- auRurated and that before his inaugu- ration he had sought the advice Of many well known economists upon the question"
 Collections to the tariff of per cent upon the net earnings Of corporations have been many. the speaker admitted, but he submitted that they have come lions He estimated the revenue 1t would produce at $so.Voo,0o0 at least, annually. This would be simple and easy of collection.
 To refute the argument that the tax would fall upon the widows and or phans, Mir LongwofVn urged that it would really prove to their advantage as 1t would conduce 10 the Wise ana lh- telliRent administration of the corpo- rations of which they are part owners In conclusion Mir. Longworth said:
 q believe that in evolving and advo- eating the passage of this law the President of the United States has re- deemed in the fullest measure his pledge that he would. during his ad- ministration. proceed along the paths blocked out by his predecessor, that he would use every effort to bring to his policies their fullest fruition."
