MUST PUSH THE TAX
PRESIDENT TAFT HEARS OF DiS- SATISFACTION OVER COR
 PcRATioN AMENDMENT.
CALLS LEADERS TO WHITE HOUSE
Senator AIdrleh and Representative Payne Were In Conference With Chief Executive in Connection With the Matter.

Washington, July 16.-Reports that there was dissatisfaction In the tariff conference with the corporation tax amendment, and that 1t might be drop ped out of the bill, reached the ears of President Taft. In consequence of these rumors. Senator Aldrich and Representative Payne, the leaders of the senate and house in matters con nected with tariff legislation, were called to the White house.
 The conference was held late last evening When Messrs. Aldrich and Payne left for tbeir homes they would not discuss what had taken place be- yond admitting that the proposition to tax net earnings of corporations had been the chief subject of consider ation. The president could not be seen. It is thought certain, however, that he made it clear that he has not changed his mind about the advisabil- ity of taxing the earnings of corpora tions for the purpose of producing ad- ditional revenues. He Is reported to have said as much to a number of con gressional callers and to have inter- rogated number of leaders as to the foundation for the report that this feature might be dropped out of the bill
 That the opposition to the corpora ton tax feature Is so serious as to i'm peril It's adoption was indicated by a chance remark of Representative Me Call of Massachusetts, one of the con ferees. He said that If the corpora ton tax amendment Is accepted it will mean that President Taft is pushing 1t with his entire weight"
 The big disputes over the tariff bill will be fought out between Senator Aldrich and Representative Payne. acting for the senate and house re- spectively. with President Iaft serving as umpire so as to prevent any drawn battles. This was decided by the con ference committees appointed by the two branches of congress.
 No formal action was had In confer ence giving to the two leaders espec- cial jurisdiction to make up the tariff bill but after an informal discussion it was said that such schedules as lum- Der. coal, hides, oil, iron ore and simi- lar raw materials could best be ad- justed by the tariff leaders. who know the tempers of their respective houses concerning these disputes. Of course, any decisions reached by Messrs Aid rich and Payne will be reviewed by the full conference.

During Gun Elrlna.

The British admiralty has given at iention to the question of ear protec. ion during heavy gun firing, and 1t has been decided to use plasticine, with the addition of cotton wool, but tho form of ear protection to be used Is to be left to the individual choice of officers and men. Plasticine may be supplied to ships and gunnery schools If specially demanded. The addition of 50 to 60 grains of cotton wool has been recommended to insure perfect safety. It is pointed out that the cost of the material Is very small and It's 'isc Is often desirable.

Tons of water rushed Into the great opening and In three minutes the Cowle had settled 10 the bottom of Lake Superior.
 Immediately after the collision 2 line was thrown from the deck of tho Scott to the forward deck of tho Cowle, and three members of the crew escaped to the deck of the up-bound boat by this means.
 The rest of the crew who were SHY. ed jumped from the sinking steamer into the lake. some without life pre- servers and were picked up by tht Scott and the steamer Goodyear which was short distance astern oi the Scott when the collision occur red
