INFoRMER CONVICTED.
Prosecutor For Law and Order League
 Is Himself In Trouble.

Florence, June 11.-(SpeciaL )-Leon So- per, who on last Friday appeared as prosecutor against six negroes whom he had arrested for selling liquor. was to- day arraigned before Mayor Walker to answer to two charges of violating the liquor laws Two white men appeared as witnesses against Soper and he was found guilty on both counts and fined $100 and costs and given 30 days on the streets on each count
 Dr. J. M. Peerson, head of the Law and Order league, went on Soper's bond and the case will be appealed to the circuit court.
 Soper appeared as prosecutor against the six negroes claiming the $50 reward offered by the city for information lead ing to the conviction of whisky sellers and in addition to that was to receive pay from the Law and Order league
 The officers of the league will stand by their witness, claiming that the charge against him was trumped up to disqualify him as a witness against other guilty parties.
 They also declare their intention to proceed in their efforts to suppress the illegal sale of liquor despite the disap- pointing results of the recent prosecu- tions.

LEDBETER GIRLS ON STAND
TELLS STORY THAT MAY HELP
FREE THEIR MOTHER.
Give Rather Important Testimony
Bearing on Mysterious
Murder.

Mankato, Dec. 11.-Developments
In the trial of Frank Smith, charged
with numbering Holley j. Ledbeter,
were more favorable to Mrs. Ledbeter
and distinctly to Smiths disadvantage.
Mrs. Ledbeter's two daughters, Hazel
and Mabel, were put on the stand with
her consent and gave straightforward
testimony. They and their two young
err brothers had gone to bed the even
ing of May soon after o'clock, fol
lowing shortly after Smith, and heard
no roise or disturbance of any kind
during the night.
Hazel went into her parents room
downstairs and everything there
looked the same as usual. Smith was
off searching for their father. The
evening before neighbours children
had been there playing with them and
their father had watched them play.
A small dog had bitten him on the
finger and Mabel said she saw her
mother tie the finger up. Neither saw
their father kick the dog or their
mother slap their father. The defense
claims the murder was committed be-
fore midnight and the girls testimony
about hearing their father call Smith

q. Soaring, city editor Of the
Daily Free Press, told of a converse
ton he had with the defendant at the
jail the night of his arrest. and of
what vas said later that night by
Smith and Mrs. Ledbeter when
brought face to face. The testimony
was confined to Smiths statement of
alleged Illicit relations with Mrs Led

so, which he had finally corrected to

The defense tried to get in the en-
tire conversation, but the state OBJ

court finally decided that only such

PLAINS.
INTENT OF LAW Is SET FORTH
Gross and Net Income Are Defined

Detail.
INTENT OF LAW Is SET FORTH

Washington, Dec. 13.-Secretary OF
the Treasury MacVeagh has just is
sued a detailed explanation of the
working of the new corporation tax
plan. 1t is in part as follows:
In the preparation of blanks and
regulations for the administration of
the corporation excise tax, provided
for in section 80 of the tariff act
of August 5, 1909, the first question
was to ascertain the real intent of
the law. After ascertaining the real
intent of the law, the problem was
then to SO prepare the forms and reg.
ulatlons as to carry out that intent
and at the same time avoid, as far as
consistent, unnecessary and unreason.
able interference with ordinary prac.
tees of business. The standard adopt
ed In making the regulations was that
they should be fair, just, and reason.
able to the taxpaying corporations as
well as the government.
study of the act discloses clearly
that the intent of the law is as fol
lows:
1. That the law is revenue meas.
ure and should be construed literally
for the purpose of producing revenue
for the government
2. That the real intent of the law
is to collect tax of one per cent on
the net income, less $4,000, of the in
dividual corporation, stock company,
or association liable to the tax.
In order to clearly understand the
intent of the law a few primary def
nttions are essential:
Net and Gross Income.
The term net income" as used in
this law means not only net profits
arising from the operation of the
principal business of the corporation.
but also items of income received
from other sources, such as invest.
ments, holdings In other companies,
and businesses, etc. The expression
net income" is used because there
can be no question as to it's embrac-
in$ amounts of income received from
these outside sources, whereas there
might be some question as to wheth.
er or not such items would be in
Guided in the expression met profits"
or net earnings"
In the same manner the term gross
income includes gross profits, the ex-
precision being used because there can
be no question but what it embraces
all items OF INCOME received by any

and sold as above such cost shah
comprehend all charges for mainten-
ance and operation of manufacturing
plants and properties, but shall not
embrace any allowances for depre-
citation or losses, which items shall
be taken account of under the proper
heading as a deduction
For Mercantile Companies.
4. Mercantile Companies. - Gross
amount of income received during the
year from all sources consists of the
total amount ascertained through in
ventory, or it's equivalent, which shows
the difference between the price re-
ceived for goods sold and the cost of
goods purchased during the year, with
an addition of charge to the account
of the sum of the inventory at begin
ming of the year and a credit to the
account of the sum of the inventory
at the end of the year. To this amount
should be added all items of income
received during the year from other
sources, including dividends received
on stock of other corporations. joint
stock companies, and associations sub
ject to this tax. In determining this
amount no account shall be taken of
any allowance for depreciation or
losses, which items shall be taken &C.
count of under the proper heading as
a deduction.
3. Miscellaneous. Gross income
consists of the gross revenue derived
from the operation and management
of the business and property of the
corporation making the return togeth-
er with all amounts of income (includ-
ing dividends received on stock of
other corporations, joint stock COM
panies and associations, subject to this
taxi derived from all other sources,
as shown by the entries on it's books
from January to December 81 of the
year for which return is made.
Authorized Deductions.
Relating to statutory deductions,
the regulation is to the effect that the
deduo tons authorized shall include all
expense items under the various
heads acknowledged as liabilities by
the corporation making the return and
entered as such on it's books from
January to December 81 of the year
for which return is made 1t will APP
pear, therefore, that the return is to
be made up from the ledger and not
the cash book, and that entry on the
ledger from January l to December 81
of the year for which return is made
is the evidence which will determine
whether or not an item is to be taken
account of in making the return.
The forms and regulations will go
to the collector of each district who
will send copies of the blanks and a
copy of the regulations to every cor
poration whose name and address the
collector has been able to secure
Failure to receive the blanks or any
notice relative thereto will not eX-
cuse a corporation from making the
return required by law. nor will it re-
lieve it from penalties for failure so
to do. If copies of blanks and regu-
lations are not received on or about
January 1, application should be made
to the collector In whose district the
principal Office of the corporation is
located SO that the return can be in
the hands of the collector by the
time required in the statute.
