CHINESE CALL
GIRL SUICIDE
OFFICIAL BULLETIN ON DEATH
OF ELSIE SIGEL
Consul in New York Denies That Gov.
eminent Has Given Approval to
Concealment of the
Fugitive
fRv Assoclated Press.D

DENVER, July 14-That Elsie Sigel
took poison with suicidal intent in Leon
Ling's room in New York city, is the
statement made in the official court
bulletin of Picking, China, copy of
which has reached Denver.
This statement is made in a report
to the Chinese government by the Chi
nese consul in New York city, who
was ordered to report the reported
murder of Elsie Sigel by Leon Ling.
The bulletin was translated by Lee
Wing, a leader of the Chinese colony in
Denver. According to Lee, when this
report was made to Picking, orders We're
issued by the head of the Chinese Ma
sons, who acted with the consent of the
government, that the fugitive Ling,
should be protected by all Chinese all
over the world.
Chinese consuls in America were COM
municated with secretly and, until ac-
acknowledgement is made by the New
York police authorities that Ling was
not responsible for the death of Miss
Sigel, he will be protected.
NEW YORK, July living Shu
Sho, the Chinese consul at New York,
denied that in any part of the report
made by him to the Chinese legation at
Washington was anything said as to
the cause of the death of Elsie Sigel,
and also denied emphatically that APP
prevail had been given of the conceal
ment of Leon Ling.

RUM0RED TRIMMING
OF MEASURE REACHES
EARS OF PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Reports
that there was dissatisfaction in the
tariff conference with the corporation
tax amendment, and that it might be
dropped out of the bill, reached the
ears of President Taft today
In consequence Senator Aldrich and
Representatives Payne, the leaders of
the senate and house in matters con-
nected with tariff legislation, We're
called to the White House.
The conference was held late this
evening. When Messrs. Aldrich and
Payne left for their 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 consideration.
The president could not be seen to-
night.
1t is thought certain, however, that
he made it clear he had not changed
his mind about the ACCESSIBILITY of tax
ing the earning of corporations to pro-
duce additional revenues.
He is reported to have said as much
to congressional callers and to have
interrogated several leaders as to the
foundation for the report that this
feature might be dropped from the
bill.
The tariff conferees were informed
today that Attorney General Wicker
sham had redrfted the corporation tax
amendment, and was ready to submit
it whenever the conferees We're ready.

GIRARD TO RESIGN
DIRECTORSHIP OF
MOROSCOCOMPANY
BeIasco to Stage "The Man on the
Box"-GoodWin Goodrich and
FraWIey Reported In
Combine

After this weeks performances of
Sergeant Kitty end at the Majestic
theater, Harry Girard has made known
to friends his intention of resigning
the musical dictatorship of the Morosco
Musical Comedy company, while con-
tinuing to sing the leading role in that
organization. Mr.. Girard has found
tire double task of singing and direct
ing too much for the energies of one
man, in addition to his daily demands
as an instructor of music. 1t is an
ticipated that Oliver Morosco will OBJ
tain the services of a San Francisco
director of note, who will be assisted
in his duties by Mr.. Girard, the latter
continuing with his wife, Agnes Came
Brown, to sing in the repertoire of
musical attractions yet to be presented
at the Majestic during the present
summer season.
In the near future the Belasco stock
company will be seen in 1.-THE Man on
the Box" and probably 1.-THE Great
Divide" two plays in which Miss
Helen Holmes, the new leading woman
pending Miss Reeds vacation, has
scored marked triumphs in the east.
Eastern dispatches report an alli-
ance as consummated between Mr.. and
Mrs. Nat Goodwin (Edna Goodrich)
and T. Daniel FraWley, by which the
trio, with the assistance of another
actress, yet to be selected, will make
a tour of the world next season, OPEN
ing in Europe, where Mr. Goodwin has
been planning a short vacation in
August, and terminating their globe
trot in Tokyo before sailing across the
Pacific for home. The agreement is
said to have been made at Seattle
where Mr.. Goodwin and Mr.. Frawley
recently have played Goodwin's most
recent engagement since his visit to
the coast has been at the Delmar gar
den, st. Louis, previous to the con-
clusion of his present tour

To Take Down Wires
A letter received by the police de-
partment today is causing quite a bit
of unfavorable comment. 1t contains
the information that the Elks' eXecu-
tive committee is going to have the
wires that are to be stretched along
the sidewalks removed Immediately
after the parade Thursday morning,
giving as the reason that to leave them
up will be a menace to public safety.
Chief Dishman states that he has not
enough men to properly patrol the
streets during the evening electrical
parade il the wires are taken down.

TT is most significant for us in Chi

vate interests disappear, and the af-

concentrating on the Wilmington elec-
lion have heard nothing about any
schemes to be sprung in San Pedro, put
| have no doubt that they VIII pe
hatched up before the election.
THE indications appear TO point
strongly to an attempt to draw the lines
clearly between municipal administra-
tion of the harbor and corporation con-
troll In a few days before election: On
this line the argument will probably pc
maze that the corporations now nave
control of the harbor and that they
stand willing to build a great hafpor II
not molested by Los Angeles. AT the
same time the ability of Los Angeles
to fulfill promises indorsed by the CITY
council and business men will be at
tackled. without however, answering
Secretary A. p. Fleming's query has
not Los Angeles always made good?
Corporation Control Failure
Onposed to the theory that corpora
tion control will bring for the harbor
n cent more of development than the
eornorations need for their own re-
ceipts, which is always insufficient TO
keep the port from falling to the rear,
is the history of all important harpors
of the world.
In Rotterdam construction and adj
ministration by private corporation
was given every opportunity. When 1t
failed the city took hold, making mu-
nicinal monopoly. AS result Rotter-
dam has four times the population the
city would now have if it had not made
a public harbor, according to the tes-
tinony of the authorities. Aside from
great indirect benefits to business men
and wageWorkers the harbor is directly
netting the city per cent on the capt
tai invested.
Liverpool, in order to cope with the
connection of other world ports, found
it absolutely essential to manage the
harbor through public trust. Every
other harbor which has been made a
success and has kept pace with the
rapidly increasing demands OF the
worlds shipping has done so because it
has been made a public monopoly.
The most striking instance of this is
London. where private interests con-
tent with private profits and medieval
ideas of control, held the port so
cramped that the merchants of Lon
don were forced to watch it go back
ward until New York, Antwerp and
Hamburg led that city in net register
tonnage. To remedy this the best
thought of the commercial interests
of London attacked the problem
and passed several years in a re-
marlxable study of harbor administra-
ton The result of this came to par
lament through a royal commission in
a. bill designed to solve the greatest sea-
port problems of the world. The new
London plan, adopted as a result in 1908,
is fundamentally strikingly similar to
the idea at the base of the develop
