COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug.
1S-The nerve and quickness Of James
NJ. Morrow, night watchman at the
Cliff House at Mauitou, probably saved
the valuablcs of many tourists and may
cost Edward Clark, fireman of the

Early this morning Clark, i'm COM
pany with Peter Webster, said to be
from salt Lake, went to MorroW's room,
and at the point OF a gun forced him to
accompany them to the hotel office,
where they demanded that he open the
safe,
one Of the robbers laid his gun on
nearby desk and Morrow instantly
jumped for it, securing it after a strug-
gle. In the shooting that followed
Clark was shot through the head and
probably fatally wounded. Morrow got
a bullet hole through his clothing. The
Would-be robbers fled, Clark being as

PRESIDENT NOT
WORRIED OVER
TESTS OF LAW
BELIEVES CORPORATION TAX
WILL STAND
TAFT HAS IDEAS CONCERNING
TRUST CONTROL
Will Confer with Cabinet Members
at Summer Home About Plans
to Curb Vicious Business
interests
fBy Associated Press. ]

H EVERLY, Mass, Aug. 1S.-Reports
* reaching Beverly daily from
~ Washington and New York that
the constitutionalty of the new cor
poration tax is to be tested, have not
disturbed the president in the least.
He so declared himself today The
tests and the protests, the president
said, were all anticipated.
Himself a lawyer of some eminence,
and father of the corporation tax idea,
Mr.. Taft is thoroughly convinced the
tax will stand any test that may be
applied to it. Attorney General Wick
ersham, a corporation lawyer of note,
and Senator Root collaborated on the
corporation tax provision of the tariff
bill and the measure as enacted, they
believe will survive any attempt to
nullify it.
Attorney General Wickersham is
coming to see the president Friday to
discuss with him a plan for reorganiz-
Ing the duties of the interstate COM
meYce commission amendment of the
Sherman antitrust and bringing inter-
state corporations more definitely under
the control of one branch of the gov
ernment.
According to Mr. Taft's view the ma
chinery to enforce the laws on the
statute boks is inadequate. He be-
lieves the Interstate commerce COM
mission is overcrowded with work and
that 1t ought to be relieved of It's Jur-
isdictiOn as an executive body, its func-
tions to be limited to the quasi-judicial
investigation of complaints made by
individuals and by a department of the
government charged with the executive
business of supervision.
The president alos believes that,
under the Sherman antitrust law,
there is much TO interfere with legiti-
mate business, but that by amendment
it could be made an effective and just
instrument
To bring about a coalition Of the
legal advisers of the various govern
ment departments which have to deal
with railroads and other interstate
corporations and trusts" so as to per-
nit of quick and decisive action in
cases of offense against the statutes,
is another task which the president has
set for himself.
Secretary MacVeagh this week will
come to Beverly to take up with the
president the appointment of members
Of the tariff advisory committee author
lied in the tariff bill.

Landing Parties from Ships of Eng

Samuel r. Van SAINT

CANEA, Island of Crete, Aug. 1S.-A
parties of bluejackets landed early to-
day from the international squadron
anchored in Canea harbor brought
down the fiagstaff of the Canea fort
and with it the Greek flag that has
threatened to bring about war be-
tween Turkey and Greece.
A combined landing party, composed
of detachments from the ships of the
four powers, was sent ashore before
sunrise today and the task of removing
the Hellenic emblem was carried out
in a few minutes without any attempt
at interference on the part of the
islanders.
Most of the bluejackets then re-
turned to their ships, but small detach-
ments, representatives of each of the
four powers, were left behind in occu-
patton of the bastion of the fortress to
prevent an attempt on the part of the
Cretans to raise another flag.
Cretan gendarmes have been posted
throughout Canea TO maintain order.
cretans Are Passive
Four warships of the protecting
powers assembled I'm Canea harbor yes
terday afternoon. their presence being
an outcome of the difficulty which had
arisen between Greece and Turkey
since the evacuation and an indication
of the purpose of the powers TO MAIN
tain the status quo.
Yesterday the foreign consuls at
Canea notified the Cretan government
that the Greek flag would be hauled
down this morning, and they warned
the government that irreparable conse-
duences would follow any attack made
on the international landing party.
On receipt of this warning the Gre
tan authorities issued an appeal to the
people not to obstruct in any way the
action of the powers.
The action of this morning means
that the protecting powers have re-
turned to the island and the situation
is again much as it was before July 27.

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y" Aug. 1S.-
Harry *. Thaw was taken from the
Westchester county Jail to his old
the criminally insane this afternoon.
He bade good by to his mother in the
consultation room of the Jail.
Thaw appeared to be cheerful. His
mother will move to Matteawan on
Friday to resume her residence near
the asylum Before ThaW was taken
away his mother r,ade the following
statement:
1.-The only request made for my son
was that he be transferred to the
Bloomington asylum, although as
sane acquitted man he should have
been liberated.
"There was no suggestion of bonds
OF any OF the other fantastic features
mentioned. 1t was simply the argu-
ment that an acquitted man ought not
to be placed in criminal institution.
Personal Appeal Suggested
"The thought was suggested that the
Judge would surely order this change If
a personal appeal was made to him.
Gladly my daughter offered to.
"TWice she communicated with us
here. the last message telling how
tfultleSS the nara Journey Iidu Dttll'
She cannot be back before her brother
leaves for MatteaWan this afternoon.
This goes with courage undaunted
bv this outrageou decision, and we all
look forward confidently to the action
of the court OF appeals. 1t cannot be
that this illegal restraint of an ac-
quilted man. known by everybody to
be absolutely sane, can last much long
er. no matter how VindiCtiVe those who
would attempt to defeat justice
may be.
Fortune Not in England
"Allow me to correct some gross mis-
takes regarding this brave devoted
sister and daughter. Alice ThaW made
no stlpulations, nor did the family Of
the marquis of Hertford, at the time of
her marriage, such as published III
some Of the papers. On the contrary,
her entire estate remained IN thlS
country, absolutely under her own con-
troll
THE HertCord family always paid
her the utmost respect for good ana
sufficient reasons, aside from her own
personality. When she annulled her
marriage year and half ago she
had a perfect right, under the Engllsn
laws, to hold the title. She was urged
to do so by her friends, and her legal
advisers but she preferred to be ria OF
it altogether.

County May Have a Special Election

County Commissioner Sutherland will
leave Saturday for Colrille, to attend
the March meeting of the commission
ers. At this Injecting Mr.. Sutherland
will bring before the board the PROPOSE
ton to hold a special election to vote on
the question of bonding the county, in
order to pay off outstanding warrants,
thereby getting lower rate of interest
on the county Indebtedness. He esti-
mates the cost of an election at about
$1,000, and thinks the county can save
nearly $4,000 a wear on interest. 1t viii
be two years before the matter can again
be submitted at a general election. The
experience at the last election goes to
show that it is practically impossible to
get the voters to consider it at the gem
eral election. 1T requires the affirmative
vote of two-thirds of all the voters,
whether they vote on the question OF
bonding or not, to carry same. At the
last election majority of the voters
who expressed themselves on the bond
ing matter were in favor of same, but
only small part of the total ballots
cast made an expression in the matter
and it lost out. The bonding PROPOSE
ton should be considered alone, 80 that
the voters can give it their undivided
attention and look the matter up while
there are no other issues to be discussed.

River Notes

Steamboat racing on the Pend Ofeille
is getting to be a popular sport with the
river boys: The crew of the Spokane
and lone have been itching for trial of
speed ever since the new boat was
launched, but not until Friday did the
opportunity appear, as the Spokane
operates on an irregular schedule. On
Friday the boats left Cusick at the same
time, and the lone headed into New
port considerably in advance of Capt.
jim Stewart and the Spokane. The lone
boys feel particularly elated over win
ming the race as their boat has not been
showing great speed during the low
water, and they are certain that with a
better stage they can show up all of the
river craft. 1t the boats carried some
bacon or resin and had few darkies to
perch on the safety valves, We might see
revival of the Mississippi river days
made famous by Mark Twain.
The annual inspection of the New
port and Spokane was made by Inspec-
tor Fuller and Edwards, of the Portland
office, Wednesday. The Newport missed
the trip down river Tuesday noon in
order to await the inspectors. She re-
sumed her regular trip on Wednesday.
The launch Skidoo was up from the
lower river Sunday for repairs, return
ing Monday.
! The inspectors also looked over the
Spokane and passed her for passenger
service after some changes are made.
For the past year the Spokane has been
used exclusively in the freight and tow
ing service and did not have passen-
ger rating.
Another shake-up of the crew on the
Ruth occurred Saturday. J. W. Prev
EFT succeeded Capt. Sample at the wheel
and A. E, Davidson took the place of @
Mclaughlin as engineer.
Capt. A. {. Flanders is now turning
the wheel on the steamer Newport. and
l.. }. klmmel is operating the launch
skiddoo between Blueslide and lone.
