ROYAL PALACE BURNS
FLAMES Started at Christmas
Tree of Greek King.

Athens. Jan. 6.-The Royal Palace at
Tatoi caught fire at 10 o'clock this even
ing while the royal family were gathered
around a Christmas tree. The flames
spread rapidly, rising to a great height,
and soon the right wing of the palace
was practically destrOyo /.
The fire is believed to have been due to
illuminations on the tree. and the ef-
forts of the attendants in the palace to
extinguish the flames were fruitless- The
royal family made a hasty escape, and
so far as is known no one was injured.
A large force of fireme1 were soon on
the scene. and they were assisted by
sailors from the English and Russian
warships, but at a late hour it was
feared that the whole edifice would be
destroyed The Tatoi Palace was the
Kings summer residence.

RAILROAD DIVORCE.
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
About to Sever Their Union.

New York. Jan. IA proposition
looking to the separation of the South
ern Pacific and the Union Pacific Sys-
TENS is now under consideration be-
tween President Taft and Attorney
General Wickersham and officials of
the Hartman railroads and following
conferences of Attorney General Wick
ersham and Judge Lovett head of the
Hartman system in Washington. 1t
was said in Wall street today that a
definite announcement of the separa-
ton was only a question of time. The
executive committees of the Hartman
lines in the Union Pacific Railway
company the Southern Pacific Railway
company the Oregon Short Line Rail
way company and the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company, held their
regular weekly meetings today.
Judge Lovett announced in advance
that nothing other than routine busi-
ness would engage the attention of
the committees. Nevertheless, it is
taken for granted that the conference
at Washington would be very thor
oughly discussed. Judge Lovett de-
ing, but some of his associates inti-
mated that the visit to the national
capital had not been barren of re-
suits These results, it was decided,
were quite satisfactory to II railway
interests, although no further details
were vouchsafed.
There is reason to believe that at
yesterdays meeting a proposition was
submitted having for it's ultimate end
the separation of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads along the
lines laid down by the government in
its suit.
This proposition came from the
railway interests and according to
Wall street gossip, is likely to be fin
ally entertained by the government,
provided certain other conditions i'm
posed by the administration are in
corporated therein.
1t is believed another visit of the
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific inter-
ests in Washington in the near fu-
ture may be followed by a definite an
nouncement regarding the status of
the dissolution

FIGHTS INCOME TAX.
Stockholder in Corporation Starts a
Suit at Cleveland.

Cleveland, Jan. 11-Suit to test the
constltutionality of the federal income
tax upon corporations has been begun
IN United States court by Lewis W.
Jared of Chicago Jared sued as a
graph company. a $4,000, 900 concern and
directs his petition against the COM
pany itself. 1t is argued that the tax,
which under the law must be paid on
or before June 20 of this year is un-
constitutional. that it is a direct tax
ara that it interferes with the right of
the state to enter into contracts and to
grant general franchise to the citizens
OF the state. Jared, therefore asks that
the company be enjoined from paying
the tax to the internal revenue depart-
ment.
Blanks sent out by the district collec-
tors provide for a return under the law
by March 1, and the payment of the
tax within 112 DAYS thereafter.
