SAYS Governor Johnson Should
Have Approved Tonnage Tax
CORPORATIONS AGAINST BILL
liners This Opposition May Have
Swayed Executive.

The current issue of w. j. Bryan's
Commoner contains long criticism OF
the action of Governor Johnson in
vetoing the tonnage tax. Mr.. Bryan
contends the tonnage tax was opposed
by the corporations and he leaves the
inference that Governor Johnson may
have been swayed in his action by
such opposition.
The tax, Mr.. Bryan contends, was
endorsed by the Democratic state plat.
form and he reiterates his argument
that platform is binding and that ii
Governor Johnson was opposed to it
he should have repudiated it at the
time of it's adoption, instead of wait
ing until after the legislature had car,
ried out the platform pledge.
In discussing Mr.. Bryan's article
Governor Johnson said:
II do not think Mr.. Bryan under
stands the real situation, either the
bill, my veto or the conditions sur
rounding it. In discussing our plat
form last fall before the people said
that I would veto any bill that would
do harm to any particular section of
the state.
"Mr. Bryan is undoubtedly in error
in his conclusions as to this veto. He
does not understand the matter and I
think if he would take time to investi-
gate it his views would change"

new THEORY is ADVANCED
Leon Ling May Not Have Murdered
Elsie SigeI.

New York, June 29.-The failure to
find any trace whatever of Leon Ling
caused the police to give some atten-
ton to the theory that the missing
man may not have killed Elsie Sigel
and that he was himself the victim of
the same hand that killed the girl.
This line of reasoning necessities
the rejection of the story told by
Chung Sin, who said he had seen
Leon in the room over the Eighth ave-
nue. restaurant where Miss Sigel's
dead body lay, but the authorities de-
clare that Chung's statements have
shown discrepancies with known
facts in several particulars.
In considering the possibility that
Leon was killed it is regarded as prob
able that his body was placed in a
trunk, as was the girls, and this has
drawn renewed attention to the bag
gage checked to Schenectady, N. Y,
near where Chung Sin was found, and
rechecked by Chinaman from
Schenectady to Cleveland.

ST. PAUL ITALIAN MURDERED
Slayer Captured After an Exciting
Chase.

Another chapter to the growing mar
ratiye of Italian tragedy in st. Pau
was added when Dorrato Minnslli
an aged street sweeper, was wan
tonly murdered upon the very door
step of his small home by Luigi
Macini, who boarded with the coun
tryman into whose PROSTATE figure he
fired three shots after the first had
laid the old man low.
And then followed a thrilling pur
suit in which Macini was captured al
the top of the South Washington
street steps, exhausted from his des
perate endeavor to escape, by John
p. Kirk, treasurer Of the Star theater
who sprang upon the fugitive from
the rear and pinned him fast until as
sistance arrived.
The opinion Of the police, after a
cursory review of the incidents con
nected with the homicide, inclines to
ward the theory that the prisoner is
insane. In his cell, however, the Ital-
ian protests against all hints at
lunacy.

favoTs Corporation Ta1as Means
to Defeat Income Tax
PRODCED BY HIS COLLEAGUES
Statement Follows Pointed Cues.
tions by Other Senators.

Washington, June 29.-While the
question of tea remained technically
before the senate for long time it
was impossible to keep the income
tax and the corporation tax questions
entirely in the background. They
were referred to more than once and
at one time so pointedly by Senator
Clay as to bring out most interest
ing statement from Senator Aldrich,
who, as chairman of the finance COM
mittee, presented the corporation tax
amendment.
Senators Bailey and Clay were prod
ding the chairman of the finance COM
mittee and appeared especially anx-
ious to know whether he would revise
the tariff schedules downward If the
income tax amendment should be
adopted in order to lower the revenue
from customs to an extent equal to
that which would be raised by the in
come tax. 1t was in response to a
direct question from Mr.. Clay that
Mr. Aldrich responded bluntly:
Il shall vote for the corporation
tax as a means of defeating the in
come tax shall be perfectly frank
in that respect. I shall vote Mr. it
for another reason. The incoHe of
the government this year will show
deficit of s6O,OOO,00O. Next year there
will be deficit of $45,00O,O0O. I am
willing that the deficit shall be taken
care of by corporation tax, but at
che end of two years it should either
be reduced to nominal amount or
repealed"
Mr.. Aldrich said that he did not
favor as a permanent form of taxa
ton a 'tax which is sure in the end
to destroy the protective system"
