Only Great Local Demand for
Indiana Products Is for Coal
And Consequently 0pposi-
tion Is Made.
NE MAKES A SUGGESTION
GOODRICH SAYS COMMERCIAL
CLUB SHOULD BRING ITS CASE
BEFORE INTERSTATE CON-
MERGE COMMISSION.

The c. C. & l. favors interstate Ill.
terchange Of freight at Richmond, but
It opposes only state interchange At
this point.
This Is the explanation offered by
Receiver James p Goodrich for the
action Of the company in fighting be-
fore the State Railroad Commission,
the proposed reduction Of the local in
terchange switching rate from s. TO
81 as advocated by the Richmond
Commercial club.
Mr.. Goodrich states that the pro-
posed reduction would materially ben
eft the Pennsylvania but that road, in
his belief, is offering opposition be-
cause 1t would establish precedent
the Pennsylvania does not desire.
What Demand 10 Far.
The only product shipped into
Richmond from points within Indiana
which would bring much revenue to
the railroads entering this city would
be Indiana coal. Local consumers on
our lines use Ohio and West Virginia
coal now because they can get 1t
cheaper than Indiana coal, but II the
state railroad commission ordered the
reduction OF the Interchange switch
ing 1t would give the Pennsylvania
the majority of the local business,
which we now have, and our track
would simply be used by the Penn
sylvania as siding. on which to un-
load Indiana COAL" Mr.. Goodrich
stated
"On the other hand" he continued,
IF the general interchange at fair
rate can be secured 1t will be wei
coined by the C. c. & I. because
what our road would lose to the Penn
sylvania In coal business we would
gain in other ways. BY that I mean
we should handle freight in and out
of Richmond. that we do not get now.
The great bulk of freight refer to Is
shipped into this city from out Of the
state. or shipped from Richmond 10
points outside of Indiana. consequently
the only way we would be able to Sc
cure It would be through the estab-
lishment OF interstate interchange a.
Richmond"
Makes Suggestion.
Mr.. Goodrich stated that inasmuch
rs the bulk of freight into and out of
Richmond was not shipped from or to
Indiana points he not did not see why
the Commercial club. which is pushing
the interchange matter did not take
its case before the federal Interstate
commerce commission instead of the In.
diana railroad commission. He is OF
the opinion that the former body
would have the authority to establish
interchange between the Pennsylvania
and the c. C. & l.. at Richmond.
Mr.. Goodrich is of the opinion that
in the event the G. G. & l. Is taken
over by the G. & O.. which Is con-
trolled by the Hawley interests. gen.
eral interchange would be established
in Richmond. He states that the
Pennsylvania seldom refuses to inter-
change with the larger railroads, sucn
as the C. 4 o.

was despondent as a result OF contin-
uous i'll health since the first of the
year. although it Is not known that
she ever limited of making suicidal
attempt However. 1t was stated in
coroner Bramkamp's presence, she lad
often said she wanted to die and lie
relieved of her suffering. She was
the wife of Alexander Greenhoff. a

Coroner Bramkamp had not suffi-
cient time to obtain all evidence IN
the case this noon. but said that all
indications pointed to the fact that
Mrs. Greenhoff had been preparing to
commit suicide.
Body Was eioated.
The body was allowed to remain in
the cistern until after the arrival of
the coroner. Just the length of time
the body remained in the cistern il
unknown but it must have been two
or three hours as the body was bloated
and showed other indications of hav-
ing been in the water for some time.
So far as is known Mrs. Greenhoff
left no communication explaining her
action. The clothing which she had
on when removed from the cistern
was the same as that which she had
worn while doing her housework. It
consisted of blue wrapper. apron
and other ordinary apparel She had
taken off her shoes before lowering
herself into the cistern.
Mrs. Greenhoff arose at the usual
hour this morning and prepared her
husbands and her daughter, Miss Ed
mas breakfast She then proceeded
about her work and was seen about
the house about o'clock She had
placed the bedcIothing on the roof to
be aired. It must have been follow
ing her work in the bed rooms that
she decided to end her life.
It required some effort to uncover
the cistern. and her decision must
have been most obstinate and dellber-
ate. A hot plate standing on q box
was placed over the cistern and the
kitchen floor covering Of oil cloth had
to be torn up. It was then necessary
to remove the boards Of the door. The

TAX LAW FORCES
REVENUE OFFICE
INCREASE FORGE
Two Clerks Added and More
Needed to Handle Work OF
Listing Corporations.

Preliminary steps In the administra-
ton of the national corporation tax
law passed by Congress August 8,
which has forced the internal revenue
offices to work overtime n to hire
extra help in order to meet its pro-
visions on time, are now being taken
by the local internal revenue offices, Oh
which DIR, Herman c. II. Herold Is the
headA The law requires that all cor
porations render an accounting of their
Or before March l, 1910, to the internai
revenue Office in the district where
their home office is located.
To superintend this work properly II
Is necessary for the revenue offices to
prepare a list of the corporations IN
New Jersey, in order TO mail to each
company doing business in this state
the necessary blanks. This Is the gigan-
tic task that confronted DIR. .Heroiu
when he returned from his vacation a
few weeks 60. Work has been gong
on for some time, but with the addition
of two new clerks to the office force
today, and more to come in the next
few days. the task of tabulating n
corporations received new impetus. A
card index Is to be made listing every
corporation In the State.
The extra clerks, who will number SIX,
will be able, it Is expected, to complete
their task within three or four weeks.
The newly passed law puts a tax OIL
i per cent on the net profits of the ma
jority of corporations over and above
S., 900 receipts which is exempt me
tax for the year beginning January /,
1909, is to be paid on or before July |,
1910, and all declarations of profit, etc,
are to be returned to the revenue ofnces
by March /, 1910. Corporations exempt
from the tax are those of a charitable
nature, all religious corporations, all
fraternal organizations run under the
lodge system and building and loan as
sociations organized under the New
Jersey laws. Associations Incorporated
under foreign laws will be liable to the
tax.
The immensely of the task of tabu-
lating the corporations in the State
may be judged from some figures which
DIR. Herold soon discovered. Since 1S4S,
when the State first started to grant
charters to corporations, it was found
hal over $4,000 charters had been
granted. The necessary data for these
must be CLEANED from the State records.
OF the total number of charters
granted it is estimated that perhaps
$4,000 remain in existence today.
The necessary blanks to be filled out
by the corporation offices are now
being made up in Washington and will
be sem to the various internal revenue
Offices shortly. Newton Porter, chief
deputy of the service, said that the
internal revenue Offices were open to-
day because of the newness of the
holiday, as well as the stress of the
tabulating work.
