DRIVER OF KNOX CAR WHICH
 BROKE TELEGRAPH POLE SAID
 TO CLAIM DANGLING WIRE
 STRUCK HIM IN FACE
 A large Knox touring car was conn p1etely wrecked Saturday afternoon on
 Stratford avenue near St. Michael's cemetery. It was being driven from the factory in Springfield, Mass, to its owner, a wealthy Long Island City man. The car in turning from one side of the road to the other ran in to a telegraph pole and snapped it in two. The driver was thrown about ten feet in the air, but escaped unin- jured. On recovering his presence Of mind, he jumped up, detached the car number and disappeared and nothing has been heard of him since. The wrecked car was brought to this city yesterday by Peck & Lines and today the Blue Ribbon Garage is shipping the car back to Sprin gfield.
 It is now said that the owner will place a. claim against the Connecticut Company, alleging through the driver wrecked in an endeavor to avoid dangling support wire. Supt. Chap man, in talking with a Farmer re- porter today, said that no such claim has as yet been made, and designated this theory in regard to the cause Of the accident as ludicrous. Supt. Chap man said that the driver shortly after the accident claimed that the wire hit hin. in the head and this caused him to turn. The superintendent is of the opinion that if this were the true cause the car would have hit pole further westward. To hit the pole in the man. ner alleged the car must have turned at right angles to the course
 An expert declared that the shaft of the steering gear snapped before the car touched the pole at all. This was due primarily to a poor casting, and the strain placed upon the shaft in shifting the car from one side of the road to the other was too much for if

What it Would Cost
 To Collect Corporation Tax

Especial from United Press)
 Washington, June 21.-It is estimated by the treasury experts that 1t would hardly cost the government an addi- tional $10O,0 to collect the two per cent. tax on net earnings of corpora tions as proposed by President Taft. It may be decided, if the amendment to the tariff bill is adopted by Con- gross, to have the trust-probing force of the Bureau of Corporations assist the Internal Revenue officers in the collection. This would not involve much additional expense.
 Collection would be much less diff cult than it would be in the case of an individual income tax.

been found which gives some clue to
the reason for the suicide of Miss Alice
Law, the North Dakota girl who was
found dead in her room, suffocated by
gas, yesterday. The note was as fol-
lows:
II am ending my life because l am
seized with an acute disinclination to
live, ard l believe have an absolute
right to end my life if l wish. The
struggle is too hard. am in my right
mind. My reasoning powers are as
good as ever. l go because want to-:
The chief reason is because l am too
near starved"
On the envelope, the young woman
wrote these words:
''Suicide is inevitable in person like
me. l cannot endure to live. If l do
no take my life now, will later"
