where in Georgia If had the slightest
reason to think should be regarded
as persona non grata."

Brown, in which the latter declined
to introduce him to an Atlanta audi
ence. Mr.. Peary delivered a lecture
here last night.

DEATH kNELL FOR
THE ELBA CLUB
Roosevelt Will Endorse the Ad.
ministration and Policies of
President Taft

Washington, March IL. - When
Theodore Roosevelt returns to the
United States obseQuies over the
Back from Elba club" will be In Or
der. sits dissolution is really a mat
ter of foreordination. Some persons
who choose not to diferentiate GER
tain schismatic spasms, now and then
discernible, from propaganda that
is predestined to inevitable develop
ment on account of fundamental prin-
ciples of justice may argue to the
contrary, but judging by coming events
one is safe to predict at this time, will
establish their sophistry.
The Back from Elba" movement,
go named by the discriminating Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Herald, who aptly applied Napoleonic
history to current American political
machinations, has been an intangible
affair, having as its apparent purpose
the denomination Of Col. Roosevelt
for president in 1912. 1t has never
been much of q secret who its spon-
sors we're; neither has it been at all
difficult to identify various maneuvers
which were destined to give 1t sta
tus Of some dignity and importance.
Naturally movement contemplat-
ing the nomination Of Mr.. Roosevelt
two years hence must be predicted
upon the assumption that President
Taft is not emitted to denomination.
Furthermore, the theory must exist
that Col Roosevelt would acquiesce
in the plan to bring him back to the
white house at the termination OF
Mr.. Taft's first term. Clearly, there
fore. the fate of the Back from Elba
club" rests with the former president.
Every intelligent individual, be he po-
utician or layman, recognizes this,

Fight to Have the Law Declar.

Being Made
FAMOUS ANT|4uC0ME TAX
ATTORNEY CHANGES FRONT
Man Who Secured Rehearing in That
Noted Case Will Argue for the Con.
stitutionality of the Corporation =
Law in This Case.

Washington, March 1.-THE SUI
preme court of the United States was
today the stage of the big legal con-
test over the constitutionality of the
corporation tax provision Of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. The oral
arguments on the subject consumed
the entire time of the court and will
continue throughout tomorrow. The
contest is attracting much attention.
Fifteen cases involving the question
Of the validity of the tax have been
brought up for final judgment. All
were advanced for an early hearing
and have been consolidated in order
to avoid giving fifteen days to the dis
cussion which would have been ne
cessary If such cause had been
separately heard.
In every suit except one the stock
holders instituted an action to en-
join the corporation from paying the
tax. In the other case, one against
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, the policyholders brought suit.
The lower court upheld in each pro-
ceeding without extended argument
the validity of the law. An interest
ing figure in the fight is VIM. D.
Guthrie, the New York lawyer. Up
on his insistence it is said that the
rehearing was granted in the income
tax law, as a result Of which the law
was declared unconstitutional. In
this contest he is on the other side.
He appears as counsel for the cor
poration that wants to be taxed, and
therefore will argue for the constitu-
tionality of the law.
