Special Dispatch TO The Star.
TARRYTOWN, N. Y. July g. State De-
tective O. f. Canning is sure that Edward
Stellar, who died In the Dobbs Ferry Hos
pital Monday night, was dragged from
'his cab and clubbed to death with an
iron coupling pin.
The murderers are believed to be young
men well known in Dobbs Ferry who had
a custom Of holding up cabs In the dark
highway and demanding a 10y ride
John A. Best, Stellar's employer. is GER
tain he knows who these young men are.
When the local police were told the
names OF the suspects they refused to
take the matter seriously.
Stellars body was buried without an
autopsy. The body was black and blue
from bruises, the head was cut and
swollen and the neck had been ripped.
Best was so angry at the inertia Of the
police and SO sure he knew the slayers
OF his cab driver that he hired three
detectives. They collected SO much EVIL
dence that Coroner Squire called in State
Detective Canning.
Canning has learned that the roysterers,
thoroughly alarmed on finding that the
obstinate driver, whom they had only In
tended to ''trim,' was unconscious ran
to an engine room with the idea of
stealing a launch and making good their
escape. They had already broken in
when approaching footsteps frightened
them away.
Canning now has them all under close
surveillance.

Then it dawned on Mr.. Depew that the
mistake was his and that he had been
irving to preside over the Senate from
his place on the floor without regard to
the Vice President His face coiored and
he said few words in an undertone to
Mr. McCumber.
nv that time everybody had grasped
the situation and Mr.. Depew became eS-

entering upon an era OF economy.
Mr.. Elkifs pressed his question, but the
chairman of the finance committee SUN
refused to give any idea of how much
money the corporation tax would yleid.
He said he hoped to be able to do SO
soon.
A few letters were read by Senator
Bristow of Kansas from constituents VINO
complained that the tax would unfairly
exempt personal business and c0part-
nershlps from the burden.
Mr.. Bristow declared he would vote
against the amendment because ne re-
garded 1t as unjust, wrong and full OF
inequalities.
senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas then
announced that he would vote against
the substitution of the corporation tax
for the general income tax, but II that
substitution was made he would vote TOR
the corporation tax as the next best
thing.
If we can't tax all corporations. am
in favor of taxing as many as we can.
II we can't tax the big ones. why then
tax the little ones. Get all of EN- you
can Those are my principles.
Mr. Davis also said that the corpora
ton was recompensed for having to bear
the tax burden by being exempt from
certain liabilities, which the copartner-
ship and personal business has to meet.
