our federal government legislate
where. our governors can only confer
and recommend
The secretary agreed that confusion
no doubt would result in the states
with the adoption of a federal cor.
poration law and that serious ques-
tons would arise with respect to the
subject of taxation. but he urged that
it should at all times be remembered
that the creation of a federal corpora
ton was within the control of the
people of the United States. No hard
and fast rule he said existed as to the,
manner in which taxes to be paid by
such an organization shall be appor-
toned, but he anticipated no insul-
mountable difficulty to be presented
in this matter with respect to the in
dividual corporation, and he saw no
reason why the federal corporation
law should not provide for the assess
ment of tangible property, and for the
taxation of shares in such manner,
that exact justice and protection
will be afforded individual states and
localities
AS to apprehension that federal
corporation statute would permit large
concerns to escape some of the laws
inhibitions provided against them,
the secretary had no fear
IF the mere amount of capital he
said, lis in itself to be recognized as
an objection, then there is no reason
why the federal law should not fix
such a limit as may be found rea-
sonable and safe But it is believed
that the real objection to large cor
porations in our country goes to the
monopolistic character of the con
Germs. In that respect a federal
corporation law would prove. in my
Judgment, infinitely more effective
than have the spasmodic, inharmoni

GREAT ON DIAMONDS
United States Absorbs About 60 Per
Gent of Worlds Supply.

New York, Feb. 20-No doubt con
siderable attention will be given to
the indication of prosperity in this
country found in the fact that dia-
mond imports have been increasing.
Consular reports from Amsterdam
show that in 1909 imports of diamonds
into the United States increased to
over $36,OO0,00O after having dropped
from about the same amount in
1906 to $11,500,000 in 1908. This coun-
try absorbs so per cent of the dia-
monds of the world. The price of the
rough diamond is now fully 20 per
cent more than it was a year ago.
Probably those who do not buy their
diamonds will now have to pay more
for them later on.

SHARP REBUKE FOR
 MURPHY BY LYNCH
New President of Big League Proposes to Be President In Fact-Fans
 Are Delighted
In Effect He Tells c. Webb Murphy of Cubs that He Ought to Know Better Than Criticise Acts of Rules Committee
uIes Committee.
Special from United Press. )

Especial from United Press.)
 New York. Jan. 29.-The neat little banning that Thomas J. Lynch, the new president of the National Lea que, has given to Charles Webb Mur- phy, the Boss of the Chicago Cubs, is delighting baseball fans today beyond measure, not so much as a result of the merits of the controversy but from the fact that it has convinced National League followers that at last the league has an executive who is not afraid to speak his mind, even though the object of his attack is the head of a three time -pennant winner.
 Murphy is the one man responsible for Lynch's occupancy of the presi- dentiol chair as it was the round lit tie Chicagoan who led the fight against John Heydler and engineered the blockade in the National League meeting that finally resulted in the selection of Lynch as a compromise candidate.
 But when Murphy denounced the work of the joint rules committee of the National and American Leagues, he ran afoul of Lynch.
 President Lynch's statement yester- day was as follows:
 
 quoted wish to state that he is only expressing the views of Charles Mur- phy, President of one club in the league. He does not speak for the Ma tional League. No criticism of the work of the Rules Committee is in order until the changes made are officially promulgated by that com ,mittee, and if I understand correctly the provisions of the National agree ment, the power of such committee is absolute, and it's acts are not sub- Ject to revision or approval by either major league. This is as it should be; for the making of playing rules should not be left to the whims or prejudices of individual club owners. The private interests of no league or no. club were considered at the Pitts burg meeting. The deliberations of the committee and the gentlemen of the press who were present were most thorough and painstaking, and had only the best interests of the game at large in view. I do not ex- pect the committees report, to meet with unanimous approval, but I do expect the common courtesy of club owners reserving- criticism until they have something officially placed be- fore them.
 '"The same views go for the Sched- ule Committee. After four long days representatives finished both a 16S end 154 game schedule. The Amer ican League delegates, although com mitted to 154game schedule, were fair enough to give up two days time to assist us in framing our 168-game schedule. Our committee was there fore enabled to comply with the in- structions given it by the National League. Both long and short sched- ules will be ready for consideration by the league at it's February meet ing. Neither of these schedules is public property, and therefore criti- cism of the committees 1abors is all out of order until the National Lea que meets as body to select the schedule it considers most feasible"

PAPUAN COIFFURES.
Heads In New Guinea That Look Like
 Rising Suns.

"One of the most interesting thin - that came under my observation the odd manner in which the peol ; wore their hair," said a physician, de- scribing a visit to New Guinea and the leading traits and characteristics of the inhabitants, known as Papuans. "One type wore the hair standing up from the head at length of seven inches or more It was trimmed with wonderful regularity and with mathematical ac- curacy. The hair was greased with cocoanut oil and painted red. At a distance 1t looked like a rising sum-
 Another type of the inhabitants who wear their hair in an unusual fashion was described.
 Starting from the forehead" he said, 'the hair is brushed back over the scalp and hangs down to the waist. It is a perfect mass, an intricate jungle. I am sure it was never combed, and it was impossible to run the fingers through it. At distance it looks like 8 cap with the visor turned downward.
 "One other odd type of hairdressing -coiffure, if you will-was observed on this visit. The hair was gathered at the front and back, then brought to- gether above the head. where it was inclosed in a basllet-like cylinder. The end spread out about two inches. Ap- parently these caps are never removed from the head.'-Baltimore Sun.

TEAM SHADING.
BOXING

Portland, Ore, Jan. 29.-Where- ever it is necessary to be to get the money I will be. It does not make any difference what statements are given or by whom, or whether the place is Salt Lake or San Francisco or somewhere else. I will be on hand.''
 This was the statement made by James J. Jeffries yesterday regarding his coming fight with Jack Johnson. j effries said he had no explanation to offer for the various statements given out by Jack Gleason and Tex Rickard. He believed that no serious differences existed between the pro- moters.
 Ely, Nev., Jan. 29.-When asked what assurances he had that the Jeff fries and Johnson fight would be per- mitted in Sait Lake City in spite of the statement of Gov. Spry to the con- trary, Tex Rickard yesterday said:
 "I have the positive assurance of business men, many of whom are close to the Governor, that forty five-round boxing contest can be held in Salt Lake City, and they have urged me to go on with my arrange
 nents. The Utah law allows boxing contests, and the Governor has de- clared only that he will not permit a prize fight.
 San Francisco, Jan. 29.-'I have procured an arena in Alameda Coun- ty and the Jeffries and Johnson fight will be held there," said Jack Glea- son yesterday.
 "I propose to live up to my agree ment and Rickard is perfectly well come to join me here. But if he maintains his present attitude I will take over the contract and hold the fight without his assistance I am going to Portland on Sunday to meet Jeffries, and after conferring with

"MEL" SHEPPARD SUSPENDED
Great Athlete Says-He Will
 Appeal to National A. A.A.U.

While Melvin W. Sheppard was com- peting at the Pastime A. c. games at Madison Square Garden last night jury of national guardsmen in session in the Ninth Regiment Armory, acting as a court of review, decided that he was guilty of violating the Military Athletic Leagues rules and suspended him indefinitely.
 The charges on which Sehppard was tried were those growing out or ms trip to Philadelphia early in December. He was accused by the M. A. l.. Of Philadelphia of having charged or having demanded $50 expense money to that city and with conduct unbe- coming an athlete and national guardsman. It was decided that the $50 was $1O too much.
 It was the second time Sheppard was up before this jury on the same charges. A week ago after nearing evidence and the argument of several lawyers for several hours the court ad- journed. Last night they met and af- ter more discussion handed down their decisions.
 Among those who made up the jury were Lieut.-Col. Gracia of the Fourt- teenth Regiment, Capt. Huen of the Seventy-first Regiment, Capt Cooke Of the Twenty-third Regiment, Major Fur pin. Thirteenth Regiment, retired and Capt. Elems of the Sixty-ninth Regi- ment
 W. J. Hayes, who was charged equal ly with Sheppard for conduct unbe- coming an amateur in that he was al legged to have sent in his entry and failed to appear, was exonerated, the evidence against him being insufficient. Hayes contended he had at no time sent in an entry or even contemplat- ed competition.
 The action of the committee failed to disturb Sheppard. When told of it af- ter the races at the Garden he laugh ed and said:
 'swhy. it's a joke. It can't be so. They wouldn't suspend me without a hearing. I attended the last session and was there for five hours, but l was allowed no opportunity to testify. When the meeting adjourned I was told that I'd be given a hearing at the next meeting.
 "If that committee suspended me the members are worse than those in Phil adelphia. There they at least hinted what they were going to do. Why I even didn't know there was a meetin g tonight. If I'm set down I'll appeal to the National A. A. U. for justice"

Pittsburg, Jan. 29.--A gang of Pitts burg gamblers Thursday night made great deal of money taking the short end of 10 to on Smallwood to beat Longboat in the twelve-mile foot race, and those who lost are crying that the race was fixed. It is claimed that Smallwcod's packers lost $15,000 on him, even though he ran the distance for them on Sunday in hour min utes IS seconds. which was much fast CT time than Longboat had ever done.
 Smallwood claims he became ill after the race started and intimates that something he ate or drank might have been doctored. The winning gamblers deny that. the race was fixed and say they have always considered the short end of a 10 to bet in sports good and Thursday night bet accordingly.
