GIRL MISSIONARY
 SLAIN BY CHINAkEk
Miss Elsie SigeI'S Body Found
 In a Trunk.

New York, June 21.-The body of FL sic Sigel, granddaughter of General Franz Sigel of civil war fame and an ardent worker in a gospel mission for Chinamen, was found in a trunk in the room of Leon Ling, alias William l.. Leon, an Americanized Sunday school Chinaman, who had been forcing his attentions upon her. About the neck of the girl, who. had been dead a week, was a tightly wound silk cord.
 The police have sent out a general alarm for Ling and his roommate, Chung Sin.
 Miss Sigel. who was only twenty-two years old, following in the footsteps of her mother. Mrs. Paul Sigel, devoted much of her time to teaching in the Mott street mission. She became ac-

quainted with Ling there and later re- ceived him at her home. She gave him her photograph and wrote many let ters of an endearing nature to him.
 About a week ago the girl disap- peared, and a telegram. dated Wash ing and reading, ''I'll be home soon Sunday night; don't wOrry.-E. s." was received by her parents. The pO- lice were at once asked to find her. This telegram was filed by a China man.
 In another trunk in the room where the body was found were many let ters, thirty-fve from the murdered girl and hundreds of others from women in Brooklyn. A large number of photo graphs autographed by women were on the walls.
 The murder has created a feeling of grave doubt among the churches which maintain Chinese Sunday schools, and many of them have stop ped the work. Those which are con- tinuing it have eliminated women from the teaching staff.

PRESIDENT URGES
 4 CORPORATION TAX
Message Also Recommends h.
 come Tax Amendment. :

Washington, June 21.-President Taft sent to congress his special message urging as an amendment to the tariff bill the imposition of a ? per cent tax on the undistributed net incomes of corporations and also the adoption by both houses of resolution to submit to the states the proposition for an amendment to the federal constitution definitely cOnferring upon the govern ment the power to impose an individ- ual income tax whenever this is deem ed essential for the raising of revenue
 After discussing his reasons for urg- ing revision of the tariff and quoting number of decisions by the supreme court on the imposition of a general income tax the president recommend ed that the constitution should be amended so that an income tax may be levied by the national government without apportionment anAng the states in proportion to population.
 The message continues:
 have become convinced that a great majority or the people of this country are In favor of Vesting the national gov ernment with power to levy an income tax and that they will secure the adop- ton of the amendment in the states if proposed to them.
 recommend an amendment to the tar If bill imposing upon all corporations and joint stock companies for profit, except national banks Otherwise taxed), savings banks and building and loan associations. an excise tax measured by per cent on the net 1ncomeAof such corporations. This Is an excise tax upon the privilege of do- ing business as an artificial entity and of freedom from a general partnership lia- bility enjoyed by those who own the stock. I am informed that a per cent tax of this character would bring into the treasury of the United States not less than $96, GOO, 900.
 I recommend therefore first, the adop- tion of a joint resolution by two-thirds of both houses proposing to the states an amendment to the constitution granting to the federal government the right to levy and collect income tax without apportionment among the states, accord ing to population, and second, the en- actment part of the pending revenue measure, either as a substitute for or in addition to the inheritance tax, of an ex- else tax upon all corporations measured by per cent of their net income.
