EDITOR GETS
ANOTHER NEST
But Mr.. SayIOr Makes Sure

I love my hornets nest but oh you
hornets.-Sayings Of Saylor
A. r. Saylor, editor of the Labor
Herald, doesn't want any more hor-
nets nests.
AS the result OF the story in yester-
days JOURNAL OF the destruction
of a hornets nest out Of which a
friend had volunteered to smoke the
hornets. Mr.. Saylor was overwhelmed
with offers Of hornets nests this morn
ing.
Farmers who had read the story came
all the way from Pencader and Hook
essin to sell him nests. and several
became quite angry when he said that
hornets nests had made him weary.
As a lover of nature. Mr.. Saylor
has great feeling for hornets nests as
we'll as great respect for hornets, but
he has concluded that the nests are
prettier hanging in the tall timbers
than in a coy corner, and that, per-
haps, hornets should be let severely
alone.
He succumbed TO the wiles of one
farmer, however. this morning, and
bought one, but that's all. It's an un-
occupied nest, too. He isn't trying TO
corner the supply of hornets nests and
wants TO be out Of the game.

large meeting addressed by Frederick
A. Cook. discoverer OF the North Pole.
adopted a resolution expressing confidence
in the veracity OF Barriil and Printz, the
guides, who made afhdavits that Cook
did not climb Mt. Mckinley.
The meeting started with an address
by DR.. Cook. IN which he attacked HIS
enemies for disputing his claims to hav-
ing climbed Mount Mckinley and de-
clared he would prove they had spent
money to obtain the afhdavits against
him.
Attorney Crutchheld. representing the
guides, questioned Cook after his ad-
dress and then the fireworks started.
Crutchfeld challenged the veracity OF
Cooks statements.
J. II. Durston offered a resolution ask

TAX DODGING
OFFER BY MAIL (?
Two Men Arrested Here Are
Accused in Connection
With the New Tariff

Because they offered to teach safe
and honest method Of lodging tn Fed
eral corporation tax, Ernest l.. S.
Squire and George w. Dorsey, Jr., of
the Lawyers Title and Trust Company,
were arrested yesterday afternoon by
Deputy United States Marshal Nit
chell, on a warrant sworn out by Fed
eral District Attorney John p. Nields.
The charge against the prisoners is
that of conspiring TO devise a scheme
to defraud John A. Arnold, Of New
York, and othr persons. of their prop
erty. by falsely representing to them
by letters sent through the Govern
ment mails an alleged scheme Of OBJ
tanning exemption from the corporation
tax. The warrant charges that they
could not and did not intend TO furnish
safe and honest way for corpora
tions TO avoid payment Of the tax.
The prisoners, who are the first to
be arrested for an offense against the
new Payne-Aldrich revenue act, were
arraigned before Magistrate Hastings,
who held each of them under $1,000
bail for a hearing at II o'clock next
Tuesday morning. Bail was furnished
and the men released.
The arrest looks very much like the
springing OF a trap, as Arnold. the in
vestor in the alleged fraudulent scheme
is according to his letter heads, a
counsellor-at-law at No. Il Williams
street, New York. Both his and the
Governments attention was called to
the Wilmington mems scheme by an
advertisement which appeared in a
New York paper on September 26, read
ing as follows:
IAN corporations are liable TO the new
United states tax. Reports due soon; fine
and Imprisonment for false reports. Our
way makes you exempt. and Is honest and
safe. Lawyers Title and Trust Company.
Wilmington. Del.
Both defendants disclaim all intention
Of violating the Law or attempting 10 in
duce others to do so, claiming that their
method was 70 act as advisers and ac-
countants. in assisting in the prepara-
ton Of such reports 70 the Government,
for the annual fee OF SO, and that they
had sent out a large number Of post
cards TO corporations. requesting the in
formation necessary to enable them to
compile and assist in the reports.
They claim that their method was sim
ply to recommend that corporations, II
their charter would permit them TO do
so. increase the mebership Of their boards
of directors. give them some work to dc
and then pay them for services rendered
such amounts as would reduce their net
annual income to 5000. The law requires
the payment Of an excise tax Of one per
cent. on all net income in excess Of "a, ,ooC
annually.
The defendants claim that II Is per
fectly legal and honest to exempt clients
from the tax. by rendering the pay
ment unnecessary. In their last letter 70
Arnold II was stated:
"rhis office does not assume the atti-
tude Of assisting corporations 10 refuse OF
evade the tax; on the contrary, we shall
show you what the law is and how "a
conform 70 st."
Squire and Dorsey both disclaim any
Intention Of breaking any law or doing
anything dishonest or fraudulent.

Speaking of the natives OF India. Mr..
whitenack said there appeared to be con-
siderable unrest among them. particularly
among the people Of Bengal He said that
the British policy on the whole was lib
eral but he did not think that govern
ment was as liberal from an educational
standpoint as the United states was IA
the Philippines. He said there are one
thousand educated Hindoos looking for
big jobs in India but there are none TO
be had, as they are mostly held by the
English.
This together with certain notions Of
self government and anglo-saxon ideas
which they have absorbed without the
opportunity of effectuaily realizing them,
has caused a deep seated unrest which is
more pronounced in Bengal" said Mr
Whitenack.
This condition OF unrest is mostly due
10 the fact that Lord Curzon introduced
several policies while Viceroy Of India.

division Of Bengal into two provinces,
