TO BRING IN $4,000, 600
That Is What Is Expected From the
Corporation Tax.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The corporation
tax regulations are complete and ready
for the printer, report Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh and Commissioner
of internal Revenue Cabell to President
Taft.
The latest estimate indicate a net
revenue under the new law of approxi-
mately $25,000,00O annually and 10000
corporations are likely to have to pay
corporation taxes.
There are many uncertainties about
its effects In one of the far south
western states, for instance it mas been
found not over 10 per cent of many
thousands of corporations, whose official
existence was authorized. have ever
actually done business.
Improper registration in many cases
is fully expected with such a gigantic
scheme, but the series of penalties un-
Ger the law will apply just the same to
those who fail to get the forms and reg
ulations. The mailing of the forms and
blanks to every corporation listed in
the various districts is not specifically
required by law and is merely to assist
the corporations. Those not registered
should apply Immediately to the coIlec-
tors. All the returns are required to
be in the collectors hands by March 1,
then they are to be sent to the inter-
nal revenue bureau here. where the tax
will be assessed and the taxpaying cor
poration notified by June 1, the tax to
be paid by July 1.
The government takes the position
that the tax, while it is for the calendar
year preceding the collection, really
does not date back, that it is an ex-
else and not an income tax and that it
is, in fact merely a.ncense to do bust
ness during the year for which it is
collected

New York, Nov. 27.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, sailed for Europe today on
the steamship Caronia. Although his
name did not appear on the passenger
list statement issued from the Of
fees of his lawyers shortly after the
Caronia cleared confirmed anticipa-
tory rumors of his departure and es-

tions and papers are now on the way
to Denmark.

safeguards in transmitting them
1t is denied that DR.. Cook is in any
danger of a collapse. He wishes, say
his friends, to be within call of the
Danish commission. that will exam
inc his records, although in the
phraseology of his statement, it is
admitted that his naturally robust
health has suffered by the great
change from a diet of ''ice and penn
mican" to the food of civilization.
While awaiting the verdict of the
commission DR.. Cook will rest in
Italy, in some spot secure from intru-
sion, where he can work at the mar
rative of his Arctic journey.

til his claim to the discovery of the

says that the most competent scien-
tific body in Europe" will find that he
reached the pole on April 81. 1908.
News of DR.. Cooks departure was
not favorably received today by some
of the members of the Explorers club,
who had expected him to appear be-
fore them in reference to the dispute
over his claimed ascent of Mount Nc
Kinley.
''Dr. Cook" said Prof. Marshall H.
Saville head of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the ascent,
promised us faithfully that he would
submit a report of his Mount McKin-
ley climb and appear personally be-
fore a committee as soon as his re-
cords for Copenhagen university
were completed. AS far as I know
no records from him have been re-
ceived by the committee and 1 do not
think he has interviewed any of its
members"

for the second time in his life he had
prepared a set speech to read from
manuscript.

Stock Market Feels Effect of Standard
Oil Decision.

New York, Nov. 27.-The Standard Oil
decision was the dominating influence

turbance of mind in financial quarters
caused by this was palpable. 1t was
feared that projected mergers. especial

to be abandoned. Relief in the progress
of this merger was revived and helped
a later recovery in stocks.
Consideration of the readjustments
effected through changes growing out
of previous cases under the antitrust
and Interstate commerce laws helped to
reassure sentiment. Money conditions

Body of Woman Carried to Corn

Evidence of Struggle to Save
Her Life and Honor.

Frontenac, Kan. Nov. 27.-A lonely
road mile north of here was the
scene of a triple murder and an as
sault on a woman some time last
night. The dead are Mr.. and Mrs
William Bork. Germans of this city,
and their son 21k years old.
An attack on Mrs. Bork is the sup
posed motive of the crime. Mr.. Bork
presumably was killed while trying to
defend his wife.
The child probably was slain be-
cause the murderer wishel to silence
by the little one. Mr.. and Mrs. Bork
and their child were last seen alive
late last night when they started to
drive home from Frontenac from the
home of Mrs. Bork,s mother, two
miles in the country This morning
Bork's horse and buggy were found
by a number of coal miners standing
in the roadway at a deserted spot.
Fired Bullet Into Baby's Brain.
In the bottom of the buggy was
discovered the dead body of the child,
with a bullet wound in its head.
Hastily pursuing their investiga-
tions, the miners came across the
body of Bork lying in the middle of
the road some distance. Bork had
been shot once IN the head ana tWlce
in the body.
A trail through the dust plainly led
the miners to corn field. a hundred
feet further away.
Woman's Body Found in Corn Field.
There they found the body of the
woman. An assault had been COM
mitted upon her and she had then
been shot through the heart. Mrs.
Bork had fought hard for life and
honor. Along the trail to the corn
field were found both the slippers she
had worn, ribbons from her hair and
her cloak. There had been a des-
perate struggle in the field.
It is supposed that Bork was the
first to be killed. The indications
were that he had been shot as he sat
in the buggy and that he fell from
his seat to the road. Two bullets evil
IDENTIFY were fired into his body after
he fell. Another bullet then ended
the life of the helpless child.
Coroner Dudley, Sheriff Merri-
weather and County Attorney Wooley
hurried here from Pittsburg as soon
as they heard of the crime. The
bodies were brought into town and an
inquest is being held this afternoon.

be used in an effort to trace the

DICKINSON DOES KNOW 1T.
All knowledge of Secret Orders to
Transports Is Denied.

transports 1S DCtlCus
Washington, Nov. Eff secret or
ders have been issued to the army
transports Logan, Crook and Buford
at San Francisco, as has been report
ed to prepare for Immediate depart
ure for Nicaragua, the action was
taken without the knowledge or the
authority of the secretary of war.
Such was the statement made at the
war department today. Other Off
cials of the department deny that they
contemplate any other movement for
the transports than the trips to the
Orient in connection with the annual
transfer of troops to and from the
Philippines. The navy is waiting on
the state department. That accounts
for the indecision over the date of
sailing of the prairie from Philadel-
phia with the 400 mariners for the
isthmuS of Panama and possibly for
service in Nicaragua.
The Albany and yorktown are still
held in Magdalena bay, awaiting de-
velopmentS in Central America. The
Tacoma Marietta and Des Moines are
in the vicinity of Port Limon, Costa
Rica, just waiting. So is the Vicks
burg at Corinto, Nicaragua. AS long
as there is possibifity-e-ef marines
needed in Nicaragua the Prairie will
remain at League island
For this reason the Prairie may not
sail until long after December 3, the
original date set for her departure to
Panama with marines for duty there.
The navy department has adopted
this course so as to be able to send
500 marines or more to Nicaragua
from the United States proper in
event they are needed in Nicaragua
The battalion of marines to be sent to
Panama numbers about 400.
The arrival today or tomorrow of
the Missouri at Hampton Roads from
New York will be watched closely be-
cause of the rumOr that she was to
be sent to Central America. Intention
of sending her on such a cruise is
denied at the navy department how
ever. There is reason to believe that
the state department at last has re-
ceved a communication from Mr..
! Caldera American vice consul at
message so far have been kept a
secret and if the department has re-
ceived anything from Nicaragua re-
Gently of an important character. 1t
! is likewise being withheld.
The report that the United States is
| in communication with President Diaz
of Mexico, with reference to some
joint action in the Nicaraguan situa-
ton is discredited in some quarters,
but nevertheless there is reason to be-
Iieve that kilograms relating to
! two countries. It was stated at the
| department that it was extremely un-
likely that any official announcement
| of importance concerning Nicaragua
would be made earlier than Sunday
night or Monday morning. This is
assumed to indicate that matters of
! consequence are under consideration
| which may be expected to eliminate
about that time.

army transports Logan, Buford AMI

The Crook has been at anchor in the
stream for more than a year and Il
force of men was put to work at once

The destination of the vessels is not
known but the orders are considered
significant in view of the situation in
Nicaragua and the orders received by
the gunboat Princeton at the Bremen
ton navy yard to hurry to Corinto, the
Pacific port of Nicaragua.
