Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 12.-Inspector Nc
Cafferty. chief Of detectives. heard today
that Samuel Bersin, the young house
painter, whose body was found cut into
pieces, minus the head. which was later
located under the Brooklyn bridge, had
q visitor the night before he disappeared.
According to this Information. the caller
Tuesday, to Bersin's boarding house.
There was q conference in the street be-
tween the two men. The house painter
came back In about an hour and an
nounced that he was goinng to bed, as he
had an important engagement early next
morning, which was Wednesday, sup
posedly the day Of the murder.
Another thing the police tried to flnd
out today was whether the Black Hand
signs on the oilcloth containing the parts
OF the body were put on with paint. The
opinion Of several detectives was that
the Job had been done in paint. An
analysis will be made.
The police theory IL that II It was paint
undoubtedly the crime must have been
committed In q paint shop or by painter,
because an ordinary mechanic would not
have two colors Of paint In his house. as
blue.
Capt. Carey said that he had not To-
Gated the jewelry known to have been
owned by the murdered man. He said
that over 100 detectives were on the case.
Besides this, precinct detectives were
looking around. The excitement and
hurry about the work have worn off and
the detectives have settled down to task
which may take them long time to
complete.

DEFERs LOAN PROTOCOL. 4
Uncle Sans Protest to China An
noys European Bankers.

PEKING. June 1.-THE fact that the
United States has protested to the gov
ernment of China In the matter of the
British, German and French loan to the
Chinese government of $27,JOOOOO to
finance the Hankow-Sze-Chuen railroad
has caused considerable annoyance to the
representatives here of the European
bankers concerned and has resulted also
in postponing the imperial sanction to
the signing of the loan by five days at
least and possibly longer. a protocol of
the final agreement was executed June 9
by representatives of the banks concerned
and the railroad officials
The foreign board. following the action
taken by Charge d. Anaires Fletcher. con-
suited with Grand Councillor Chang Chih
Tung, who is director general of the
HankowSze-Chuen line. Chang replied
that China would willingly consider
American offers. but he said he under
stood that Americans did not desire to
participate in the loan. and that in any
event 1t was now too late to do so. Mr..
Fletcher has taken UP with Chang the
question of securing a postponement of
the imperial sanction to the loan pending
the arrival here of the representative of
certain American capitalists.

NEW YORK, June PA. M. Herring
who expects to furnish an airship for the
United States Army. was very busy today
putting the finishing touches on the new
machine which is to be tested at Fort
Myer. His workshop is at 1923 Broad
way. this city.
ITO ny in new machine with two peo-

stble for such experiments Is the same as
taking ones life into ones own hands,"
he said. II expect that my new machine
will fulfill the conditions required by the
government. The machine Is very much
smaller than the Silver Dart. It is a bet
ter machine than any Mr.. Curtiss or I
have made so far.
Some people have said that l copied
ideas from the Wright brothers. That is
wrong. I invented the aeroplane idea in
our machines before the Wright brothers
ever thought Of the airship experiments.
have proof OF that right here in these
pictures that were published as far back
as 1894.
IT submitted the idea at the patent Of
flee in Washington. but they were incom-
petent to understand the Importance of
the principle. which they said was i'm
practicable"
He said he signed the contract with the
government because he was sure he could
produce a machine that would meet all
the requirements.
He did not care to give a detailed de-
scription Of the new machine except to
say that 1t was an improvement over the
Silver Dart, the June Bug and the Gold
Bug.
Ibs said he would be ready for the Fort
Myer tests next month and thought the
machine would be able to carry two men
and stay in the air four hours.

SEBASTOPOL. June 12.-Hope al
though 1t is slight, is entertained that the
twenty men who went down in the Rus
sian submarine kambala. which was
sunk in collision with the battleship Ros-
tislav during maneuvers last night. are
still alive. Desperate efforts are being
made by the officers and men of the
Black sea fleet, with the assistance of
divers and salvage workmen from Sc
bastopol to raise the submarine before
the imprisoned men succumb TO the
vitiated air.
Admiral Bostrem. commander of the
naval forces in the Black sea. has taken
personal charge Of the pontoons. one of
which is equipped with a powerful hoist
ing crane. assembled at the scene of the
catastrophe.
All through the afternoon divers and
technicians were busy in an endeavor to
fasten chains around the hull, which lies
in an awkward position, about twenty
eight fathoms down, in order to haul it to
the surface.
So far their efforts have not been sue
&C .sful, but reports reaching shore indi-
cate that there is a good chance of rails
ing the boat. Apparently the submarine
was not crushed, had been feared.
Hope for Imprisoned Men.
Up to late hour tonight no further
information with regard to the success
of the efforts being made to raise the
kambala and the fate of the crew had
reached st. Petersburg.
The general public and newspapers
were not aware that any nope was en-
tertained that the men might be alive.
The dispatches during the day made no
mention of such a possibility.
A dispatch received from Admiral
Bostrem also was silent on this point.
But news dispatch received at late
hour stated that rescuers at the scene
of the disaster were working with few
erish anxiety in the hope that at least
some Of the Imprisoned men might yet
be alive.
This naturally is conditioned on the
nature Of the blow received from the
Rosislav's ram. If 1t was severe enough
to break open the plates Of the subma-
rine, there would be of course. no
chance for the crew, but Admiral Bos-
trem. according to special dispatch
from Sebastopol. seems to be convinced
that this was not the case.
The dispatch located the scene Of
the disaster OF Inkerman light, few
miles OF the entrance Of the harbor.
Owing to the depth Of water, twenty
eight fathoms. in which the kambala is
lying. the divers must be working under
the greatest difficulties.

TAFT FOR CORPORATION TAX
WOULD LEVY ON NET RECEIPTS
AVAILABLE FOR. DIVIDENDS.
Has Announced Views to Senator
Aldrich and Others, and May
Write Message on Subject.

President Taft is for tax on the net
receipts of corporations available for div
idends.
It is definitely and authoritatfvely
known that this is the position Of the
President. and that he does not stand
for some Of the other propositions cred
tied to him.
The President n strongly for such a
tax. and has made his views known
to Senator Aldrtch and others. Al
though maintaining his position of nom
interference with the legislative work
of Congress-, he realizes that his duties
are to inform Congress as to the neces-
sity Of sufficient revenues to run the gov
ernment.
1t is now considered possible that the
President may send special message
to Congress on this subject. so that his
views may become known In the proper
way, before the Senate has concluded its
deliberations on the tariff. The Pres
ident is understood to feel that some sort
of special taxation will be necessary to
aid the tariff bill In furnishing reve-
nues, and. after careful consideration. he
knows no better proposition than that
Of putting tax Of probably one per cent
on the net receipts Of corporations that
are available for dividends.
This he believes, would be successful
in stopping evasions that would arise
under a proposition to tax the dividends
themselves Corporations would be able
to get around this. The yield from a
tax on net receipts that are available
could not be circumvented SO easily. and
this would also not bear so heavily upon
corporations paying small dividends The
revenue derived would be large, equalng
that from an income tax. 1t would
probably reach $5o.ooo,oOo to 500. .ooO 600

bered with masses Of rocks. Houses. pub
lie buildings and a church were crumbled
to pieces. Among other villages serious
ly damaged are Vauvenargues. Venelles.
Pelissanne, Puy-Ste-Reparade and Ar
guilles.
The victims at Saint Cannat and Rog-
nez were horribly mutilated. There were
evidences that several of the victims had
lived for hours imprisoned by the debris
before they died. The people rushed into
the streets when the first shock occurred,
crying out in terror. Many Of them re-
turned to the rescue of their families. At
Rognez a family of four were buried in
the ruins. Their cries could be heard
throughout the night. but all were dead
in the morning when a rescuing party
reached them.
