Twelve Giants Bear This Giant to
Grave.
From the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call.
When the body of William III. Burnett,
the 575-pound tavern keeper of Locust
Valley, l.. L., was lowered into its nine
by-five- by seven-foot grave in the little
country churchyard, that sleepy hamlet
saw the last OF the man who had given
it more or less prominence.
It was the biggest funeral that records
seem to know anything about, for Bur-
nett's immense weight made il necessary
for the ordinary burial ceremony to be
performed on unusual lines. The coffin,
a metallic one weighing 400 pounds, had
no handles and was lifted by means of
seven-foot hickory boards placed under
meath
Twelve stalwart fellows, each one six
feet in height and selected beforehand by
Burnett himself. had the job OF their
lives in lifting the coffin and the body
through the large double window OF the
house to wagon. as there was no hearse
large enough.
At the little Dutch Reformed Church,
where the services were held, the door
was also too small to admit the coffin,
and it remained in the wagon while the
conducted the services. At the grave
side there was further difficulty. for,
with the rough box, made of two-inch
ash, eight feet long. five feet wide and
three feet deep, the combined weight that
the pallbearers had to handle was about
1,15O pounds. The grave took two men
two days to dig.
The heaviest man of whom there is
authentic record, according to Cham
ber's Encyclopedia. was Daniel Lambert,
an Englishman, who died in 1S09. Lam
bert weighed 739 pounds.

REVENUE OBTAINED FROM
TAXES ON CORPORATIONS
Report to the President of Herbert
K. Smith for the Middle States
and the District of Columbia.

Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of
corporations of the Department of Com
merce and Labor has sent to the Presi-
ton of corporations. The report deals with
the middle Atlantic states and the Dis
trict OF Columbia. which covers the most
important field of corporate activity, as
in these states the largest companies are
chartered.
New Jersey derives 81 per cent OF it's
total state tax revenue from corporations;
Pennsylvania, - per cent; Delaware. g.
per cent New York and Maryland. 81
per cent, and the District of Columbia.
16 per cent.
1.-The District of Columbia is conspicu-
ous," says the report, lin having a mini
mum of special corporation taxes and in
securing its tax receipts almost wholly
from q general property tax, which pro-
duces nearly 20 per cent of the District s
tax revenue. Maryland is next, with 81
per cent from the general property tax
Regarding the District. the report says:
THE proportionate amount derived from
special taxation Of corporations IS about
Ii per cent This. however, does not in
clude large sum received from cor
porations under the general property tax.
an amount which cannot be segregated.
In the District there Is perhaps the
broadcast application of the general prop
erty tax so far observed The ma jority
of corporations come only under that
tax.
There is a groSs-receipts tax on street
railway companies and a gross-earnings
tax on gas. electric light. telephone and
certain financial companies. There is no
special tax on railroads, telegraph COM
panies, canal companies, express or car
companies or on business or manufactur-
ing companies. Stocks and bonds are
not taxable in the hands of the holders.
For the year ending June. 1909. there
was received by the gross-receipts tax
about $17sOO0 from street railways and
about $4,000 from gas, electric and
telephone companies. By the general
property tax on the publ!c-service cor
porations there was received about S2j4,
GOO. From special taxes on financial
corporations there was received about
$272, 600

A week or so back japanese torpedo
boat Of the submarine type was sunk
while engaged in diving, the officers and
men on board being all drowned. When
the boat was finally brought to the sur
face a most remarkable written statement
was found prepared by the commander of
the boat Lieut.. Satuma. When this Of
ficer found that all his efforts TO raise the
boat were of no avail. he proceeded to
write what might he considered his official

cause of the accident and took all the

manfully to induce the submerged boat
to rise to the surface, and described the
way i'm which they were slowly suffocat-

crew was placed and the gradual APP
proach of death the communication is
about the most remarkable ever develop
ed The pitiful narrative. apparently
written without fear and in full realiza-
ton of certain death. is a remarkable
tribute to the discipline in the japanese
navy. The story is fully in keeping with
the many tales told of Japanese courage
and fearlessness during the war with
Russia and is another evidence of the
utter nsensibility to danger shown by
that remarkable nation.

The Fan and the Rooter.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There's one thing about this base ball
game I'd like to have the public straight
ened out on before the season proceeds
any further" began the smooth faced lit
tie man with the closely cropped white
hair at exactly > o'clock in the grand
stand yesterday. II refer to the use of
the words 'rooter' and fan interchange
ably. 1 may be wrong-this is nothing
more than my opinion-but it is my firm
belief that the base ball fan, by which I
mean the man that attends all the games
and reads all the accounts in the news
papers after lie gets home, is seldom
much Of a rooter. The fans the regular:
the rooter's the occasional. The fan
the regular. is as impressive and nOn-eX-
citable as an old theater attendant is
over the dastardly act of the villain in a
melodrama. He used to be rooter. but
he quit all forms of outward demonstra-
ton when he was graduated into the
regular class and became a bown-ir-the-
bottle fan. Ii isn't that he's any less ap-
preciative of a good play than he used to
be. but he's too old fixture in the
erandstand to be swayed by the passion
Of the multitude any more than Willie
Winter would get het up over the climax
to strong scene on the stage. This
city-wofSted fan says to himself: You're
out" or You're safe!' the moment the
ball has left the surface of the bat, and
he begins to tot something down in his
score card, but you don't see him getting
up on his hind legs and hollerins about
1t and making spectacle of himself.
Now the rooter. OH the other hand-he
doesn't get a chance to attend ball
game every day in the week, aud the in
tervals between his visits to the ball park
are sufficient to renew his enthusiasm. So
he makes good deal of noise. Let him
do it, He adds to the gayety of the oc-
eli without
him. But don't let him pose around as

READY FOR BOAT RACE
HARVARD-CORNELL CONTEST
DRAWS BIG CROWD.
Early Conditions Favorable-Crews
Thought to Be Pretty Evenly
Matched.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 30.-The an
nual race between the Harvard and Cor
nell crews and minor events between the
freshman crews of the universities. the
Cascadilla and Stone Schools of Ithaca
and Boston and Newell Boat Club and the
crew of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology formed a sufficient incentive
to bring many thousands to the Charles
river basin today. Early conditions were
favorable. although a moderate easterly
breeze blew UP the course and flying
scuds gave promise of wet weather later
in the day.
Three OF the races were planned for
the entire Charles river course of LIS
miles, but the course was shortened TO a
mile and 400 yards for the school race.
Close watchers OF the two varsity
crews were much at sea today as to the
probable result.
The Harvard eight this year is made
up Of veterans. yet Courtney, the famous
Cornell coach, has made so many vete-
ran crews out of green material that the
Crimson oasmen have wholesome re
spect for set of Ithacan oarsmen.

Every once in a while excavation in

miles from Cochise. Three miles from

Chinese Propose to RetaIiate
for Grievances.
FORM LEAGUE OF JUSTICE
Messages Sent From San Francisco
to the Merchant Societies Of China
to War on American Goods.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, May 30.-A
boycott of American goods which is to
extend all over China is the plan form
ulated at a meeting held yesterday at
the headquarters Of the local Chinese
chamber of commerce, and today cable
grams are to be sent to the merchant
societies of China asking their aid and
cooperation. according to news article
printed in the Chronicle today.
The boycott is to be undertaken by an
! organization entitled 1.-The league Of
Justice formed at the meeting in the
Chinese chamber Of commerce rooms.
While officers were selected their names
are being kept secret until such time as
the league Is of sufficient strength to
warrant general publicity. Over 600 OF
the representative citizens OF Chinatown
| were present at the meeting, all OF whom
signed the roll of membership
Grievance of the League.
The reason for the boycott which is to
be attempted and the objects of the
league were explained by one of the
members as follows: THE Chinese. not
| only in San Francisco. but throughout
the country in general. have felt for some

we are tired of being fed on promises. A
| boycott of American goods in China
would result in a great loss to the COM
mercial interests of the United States,
but It is the only way We can show our
power and demonstrate that If we are
not treated with equality and justice in
this country the American merchants
can expect no better treatment in ours
Intention Of Organizers.

Of this movement to establish branches

ficient Chinese to warrant such a pro-
ceeding. The league will take up every

an extreme case of oppression, but we
