Many nickelodeons and even some
of the larger playhouses are in dan
ger of being put out of business by
the law just signed by Governor
Stuart which extends the fire escape
regulations of first and second class
cities to those of the third class and
boroughs.
The act provides that all such
theaters shall have at least two
doorways leading off the stage to the
outside of building. All drop cur
tains and sky borders shall be fire.
proof Every such place shall have
two side aisles and one center aisle
not less than four feet wide in the
clear and such aisles shall lead di-
rectly to the entrances. Large illu-
minated letters shall be placed over
every door or exit and all doors shall
open outward and be unlocked dur
ing the entire time of performances.
The penalty for violation of the
act is $500 or Imprisonment. The
owners of such building shall be Ii
able for all damages incurred by per-
sons in case of fire.

WARNING TO THE LADIES.

There came near being a tragedy
in Montgomery, the other day, when
two young women and a young man
occupied single seat in an auto
mobile, one young woman sitting
on the other young woman's lap.
Naturally she fell off and was hurt,
fortunately not seriously. The in
cident ought to impress on the mind
of every young woman the fact that
in the matter of sitting on other
peoples laps, the only real safe
place is the lap of some able-bodied
young man. The records of the
past century fail to show single
instance where young woman has
been permitted to fall from the lap
of any young man, although it is
stated that instances have been
known where they have occupied
such a position for hours at a time.
1t is sincerely hoped this warning
may not be without effect.

Gently in only one was verdict rem

HOME COMING WEEK

Which the Citizen" advocated
some months ago, has been taken up
by the Business Mems Association
who bid fair to bring about the con-
summation of the project. They held
a meeting in the town hall on Friday
evening, and the subject was discuss
ed and initiative steps taken to cre-
ate an interest among the people of
Wayne county along this line. The
following committee was appointed:
Messrs. Ed. Dieter, R. w. Penwar-
den, L. d. Swingle, L. B. Nelson. S.
T. Ham and ]. S. Brown, who are
to formulate a plan as a basis of
operations and report next Friday
evening. The people of Wayne
county should put their shoulder to
the wheel and make this Home Com
ing Week a grand success, that it
may be an occasion that will live
long in their memories as a reunion
of Wayne countans who still have
that love that knows no end for
home associations. We have receiv-
ed letter from the Wayne County
Association of New York which states
that they contemplate hiring a spec
ial car sometime in August and MAX
ing us visit for a few days. This
shows that the spirit" is moving and
arrangements can no doubt be ar
ranged to have them time their visit
with the days set by the Business
Mems Association. Every dollar eX-
pended by our people to make this
affair grand success will return

SENATE FORBIDS SECRECY.
Orders Attorney General to Ignore
Bonaparte's Seals.

Washington, June 22.-Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham has been directed by
the senate committee on judiciary to
send to the senate all of the facts in
the possession of the department of
justice relating to the prosecution of
DIR. r. n. Perrin of Williams. Ariz, on
the charge of conspiracy to defraud
the government in California timber
land cases.
This data was sealed by former At
tOrney General Bonaparte, and the
packages, which We're left in the files
of the department OF justice, were
marked confidential"
Several days ago members of the
subcommittee considering the reap
pointment of Robert L. Devlin for
United States attorney for the north
ern district of California obtained
some information concerning these
packages and requested Mr. Wicker
sham to send them to the senate.
He declined to do so because Of the
Endorsement on the packages, which,
he said, had been placed there by his
predecessor and which he desired to
respect. The order now made relieves
him of responsibility.
Confirmation of the reappointment
of Mr.. Devlin has been opposed be-
cause Of criticism of his course in
conducting the Perrin case. The sub
committee which is investigating the
Devlin nomination is composed Of Sen
ators Piles, Borah and Overman.
1t was brought out that report had
been made to the department of JUS
tice by w. r. Harr, formerly spe-
cial attorney in land fraud cases and
now an assistant to the attorney gen.
eral, bearing directly upon the cases
in which Perrin was involved.
The Harr report declares that the
conviction of Perrin was procured by
methods which could not be approved
by the department of justice. Mr..
Harr gave the details of the indict-
ment Of Perrin, which he attributed to
statement made by w. ]. Burns, a
United States secret service operative.
This statement, which was made to
the grand Jury, was to the effect that
Burns had just come from Oyster Bay
and knew that President Roosevelt
desired to have Perrin indicted.

TAFT TAKES HOLD
President Supervising Cor.
pOratiOn Tax Amendment.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE CALLED.
Attorney General and Eleven Sen.
ators to Meet at the White
House Tonight to Dis
cuss Latest Draft.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE CALLED.

Washington, June 22.-President Taft
will personally supervise putting the
finishing touches upon the proposed
amendment to the tariff bill providing
for the imposition of q 2 per cent tax
upon the net earnings of corporations.
This will be done at q conference at
the White House.
There will be present Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham and Senator Root
who are drafting the amendments: Sec
retary of State Knox and Senators
Aldrich, Burrows, Penrose, Hale, Cul-
lOm, Lodge, McCumber, Smoot and
Flint, constituting the Republican
membership of the finance committee.
The draft prepared by Messrs. Wick
ersham and Root will be discussed at
the conference. Such changes as are
agreed upon will be made by the at
torney general tomorrow, and it is ex-
pected the perfected amendments will
be ready for introduction in the senate
on Thursday.
The attorney general and Mr. Root
had long session at the capitol and
reached an agreement on practically
every feature Of the corporation tax
plan.
Among the details Of the bill deter
mined upon are that the tax levied
will be at the rate Of per cent and
that 1t will be collected from all cor
porations. All banks will come within
the range of the tax, but deductions
will be allowed national banks to the
amount of taxes paid upon their cir
culation.
An important provision to be includ-
ed in the bill is definition of net
earnings. This will follow as nearly as
possible the definition of earnings con-
tanned in the interstate commerce act
relating to railroad corporations.
President Taft is decidedly optimis-
tic over the outlook for the corporation
tax, but number of senators who
called ut the White House declared
that the proposition would keep the
senate in session until long past Aug l.
Senator Eliins was one Of the preSi-
dents callers. and he declared that he
and number of other senators would
lldNS SOllc IellluIhS 10 ulukG Ill Cne
senate when the new scheme of taxa
ton is under consideration. The West
Virginia senator believes that all COR
porations would attempt in some man.
ner to avoid payment of the tax. Ad-
ditional salaries and all manner of eX-
penditures would be resorted to, he
thinks.
President Taft, on the other hand.
does not believe that per cent tax
on net earnings is heavy enough to
make any of the larger corporations
resort to evasive measures.
The amendment of the senate COM
mittee on finance taking hides from
the free list and restoring the Dingley
law rate of 10 per cent ad valorem was
before the senate again today, and it
probably will not be disposed of before
late tonight, if then.
In support of free hides Mr.. Page
contended that the adoption of such a
policy would not injure the farmers.
while at the same time it would be of
vast benefit to the leather manufac-
turers. He said the beef trust garnered
all the profits in hides from whatever
source.

BRANDENBURG OUT HUNTING.
Writer Seeks Papers For Defense In
His Trial For Larceny.

His Trial For Larceny.
New York, June 22.-Broughton
Brandenburg, the writer, who is on
trial for selling the New York Times a
letter purporting to be an utterance Of
Grover Cleveland, but which it is con-
tended by the state was Brandenburg' S
own invention, was let out of the
Tombs in the custody Of deputy sher-
IFS.
His release under custody was or
dered by Justice Mclaughlin on the
request Of his counsel, who represent
ed to the court that in Brandenburg'
former dwelling place in this city
there were many papers which would
help the writer prove that the disputed
document was actually dictated by the
former president.
Brandenburg went with his counsel
and custodians to boarding house in
Irving place, where there was a gen.
eral upheaval of papers stored there
and which resulted, Mr.. Jacoby said,
in the discovery of many papers vital
to the defense.
There is disquiet in high Democratic
circles due to a report that counsel for
Brandenburg has obtained subpoenas
for members Of the Democratic nation
al committee in order to prove that
the committee exerted itself to coun-
teract the effect of the Cleveland ar
ticle.
