The conferences already held cid not
result in a satisfactory arrangement for

made by the western gentlemen to trans
fer the property on the basis of 50 per
share for the Colorado and g per share
for the Iron Blossom, and throw in the
smeiter at actual cost The COie-Ryan
interests are said to have made a counter
proposition of S2.50 for the Colorado and
$50 for the Iron Blossom. This propO-
sitiOn was rejected and an effort was
made to reach basis. The control was
for sale and the Cole-Ryan group would
buy If the price was right. Therefore,
with this object in view. the conferences
were continued and both sides began fig
uring on ways and means. Messrs.
knight and Allen hied themselves to
Washington and there went into consul
tatiOn with Senator Reed Smoot, who is
interested in the properties, and returned
to New York tonight, prepared to meet
the COleRyan interests and Law before
| them a proposition which they feel will
effect the sale.
Failing in this. however, and should
negotiations fail, il is said on good au-
thOrlty that the properties will be offered
to the United Smelling comDsuv Sen
ator SmOot Is said to have left the mat
ter entirely with Knight and Allen and
will agree to whatever deal they affect
This is not their last resource how
ever, for Senator Thomas Kearus and
| David Keith are in New York. and while
! Knight does not want to sell to them he
will do SO as a last resort. The gentle
men are registered at the Waldorf-A AS
tOrla and have appointments for tor1or-
rows conference with the Cole-Ryan rep
resentatives.

the foreign board both Friday last and
today, and reiterated the protest Of his
government against the efforts OF Ger
man interests to force Grand Councillor
Chang Chi Tung to memorialize the
throne to issue ratification of the Ger
man British-French loan of S27. 500. 900
for the construction Of the Hankow
SEE Chuen railroad. He maintained the
position Of Washington in this matter
with firmness.
British and French interests here ap-
parently are passive regarding this
loan; only the Germans are trying to
save the agreement.
The bankers, who are supported by
the government, are putting up a strong
resistance to the American demands.

Nothing New Learned.

The disappearance of Chun Sin about
the time Of the discovery of the muir
der made the police eager for his ap-
prehensiOn, which was considered sec
Ond in importance to that of Leon, but
the interview with him at Amsterdam
seems to have brought out nothing of
value to the authorities. He maintains
that he rarely associated with Leon,
and while acquainted with Elsie SigeL
knows nothing of the murder Thus,
with his arrest Of no great import
ance, the case is about where it was
when Elsie SigePs body was found in
the trunk
While the authorities upstate were
putting the two Cinnamon through an
inquisition sun LeOng, keeper Of the
restaurant above which the body was
found, was being questioned at police
headquarters. Sun Leong disappeared
on the night the body was found, but
quietly and calmly surrendered himself
early today. He is being detained as a
material witness, but his voluntary sur
render is taken to mean that he is
not implicated in the crime.

Method of Collection.

The collection of the proposed cOrpor-
alton tax would be under the direction
of the internal revenue bureau. and
while additional inspectors and other
employees would be necessary, it is not
believed any added authority would be
required. The internal revenue author
ity would act in harmony with the bu-
reau of corporations of the department
of commerce and labor, and il would
fall TO this latter bureau to keep an eye
on the corporations as to any evasive
measures they might adopt. The meth
cd of collection would be similar to that
employed i'm collecting the whisky tax.

ELKINs BELIEVES THE LARGER
CORPORATION WOULD AT

Washington, June 21.-Mr. Taft is de-
cidedly optimistic over the outlook for
his corporation tax. but a number of
senators who called at the White house
today declared that the proposition
would keep the senate in session until
long past Aug. 1. Senator Elkins was
one of the callers, and declared he and
others would have some remarks TO
make in the senate when the new
scheme of taxation is considered. Mr..
Elkins believes all corporations would
attempt to avoid payment of the tax.

Question of constitutionality.

Questions as to the constitutionality
of the proposed tax do not disturb the
president. The right to impose such a
tax has been distinctly upheld in a case
before the supreme cOurt-that of
SpreclIels against the United States.
If an income tax were passed, injunc-
lions against its collection could be Sc
cured under the supreme court decision
upon a former act of this character. It
would be years before any collections
could be made under such a tax, even
if the court finally reversed itself. The
president does not believe there is any
immediate emergency to stop collection
of corporation taxes. The courts must
presume It to be constitutional under
decision of the past, and hence no de
cision would issue. There seems to be
little doubt but that the corporation
tax as passed viii exempt earnings Of
$4,000 and less, so as to take any undue
burdens off the smaller corporations.
This is the understanding at the White
house

Would Bear Watching.

does not believe that a ? per cent tax
on net earnings is heavy enough to
make any of the larger corporations re-
vert to evasive measures. As TO bonds
il is possible. the president feels, to pro-
vide for a limit of such securities
based on capital stocks, that will pre-
vent corporations from transferring all
their securities into bonds, the interest
on which is paid from gross earnings
Some provision may be made as to the
issuance of bonds i'm the future to pro-
vide that the interest shall be paid only
from net earnings.
Attorney General WiCkersham and
Senator Root are jointly preparing a
draft of the new law.

Girl Quietly Buried.

In the midst of all the police activity
the body of Elsie Sigei was quietly
buried in WoOdlawn cemetery. As the
father had announced last night that
he wished to avoid any more publicity,
the coffin containing the mutilated form
was taken directly from the morgue to
the burying ground in a plain under
taking wagon. The ceremony at the
grave was strictly private and was at
tended only by her father, two broth
ers, Reginald and Theodore, and by
her uncle, Franz Sigel.
Mrs. Sigel. it will be recalled. broke
down completely when she learned Of
her daughters death and is now in d
sanitarium. Although the mission in
Chinatown where Elsie Sigel formerly
taught has been closed, a meeting of
Chinese who have been converted to
Christianity was held in a Doyer street
mission this afternoon to discuss plans
for raising a fund to be offered as a
reward for the capture of Elsie Sigel's
slayer. No definite sum was decided
on, but a committee will go through
Chinatown soliciting subscriptions

Cinnamon Feel Disgrace.

Rev. Fungy Nov, who acted as chair
man, said Leon Ling had never been
connected with the mission in any way.
and as far as he knew had never at
tended any school in Chinatown. Miss
Sigel. he said, had taught him. The
scholars, he continued, keenly felt the
disgrace the murder had brought upon
the mission schools and stood ready to
aid the police in every way to cap
tuTe the murderer.
Theories as to the motive of the muir

night on the Jealousy of Leon Ling.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR BASE

C. NJ. AS prospects for base ball is

pluck about them which shows some
Of the other prep. teams are going to
have to work hard to conquer them.
C. M. A. has been out for practice for
about two weeks and the team is de-
veloping very fast. Moore, the catch
er of last season, is back this year,
and is right there with the goods.
Moore last year made all southern
! catcher. G. NJ. A. on Apr. 3 will meet
the fast little team Montgomery Bell
Academy from Nashville. 1t is proph-
ecied that this will be one of the best
games of the season, but the dope on
the game is in favor of G. M. A. 1t
might be said that G. M. A. has a bet
ter chance of winning the prep. school
championship than in former years. All
of the games, except one, will be
played on home ground, which is one
of the greatest advantages for a team.
The lovers of base ball for this season
especially, should go out to help G.
NJ. A. win the championship. There
is no reason in the world that they
can't do it with the material they have,
and being under such an able coach
as Lex Stone. The team hasn't been
made up entirely, but Is more than
likely that the lineup will be as fol-
lows:
Moore, catcher, who is better known
as Helle, and he is very warm prop
osition for other teams.
The pitching crew for this season
will be more than likely Herrin, At
kisson, Andrews. The nick names for
these are as follows:
Herrin as Little Willie, he is little
but very loud.

Edward Baxter Perry, the noted

This is something out of the ordinary
and was a feature especially appre-
ciated by music lovers who do not

In speaking of music Mr.. Perry
used homely illustration that was
especially appropriate. He compared

and classical music to Shakespeare.
There was something to delight and

will be in the thick of the fray. Geers
started ten times last year and was
