APPEALS TO WHITE HOUSE
AvERsE TO GIVING FIGURES

The corporations of the country have
hogun Ia urge President Taft To recon-
mend the repeal Of the corporation tax
law, claiming that ii is seriously
Irciudicial to their business and will ruin
many of them if its publicity features are
enforced.
The Presidents answer Is firmly against
the request. We must give the law a
fair trial.. is what he says If the trial
reveals that the law will not accomplish
what was expected the President may be
willing To consider the subject of repeal,
bat he has no such thought now. He is
convinced that the law will do what IT
was intended-furnish the government
with needed revenues and important facts
as 10 the business of the big concerns.
one of the requests for repeal was put
uu to the President today ny Repre-
sentative Sterling of the seventeenth IL
IilaiS district lie handed the president
a. telegram signed by thirty-six corpol a
lions in Bloomington, Ill. asking that the
chief executive recommend the repeal OF
the law.
Tne action of the bloomington corpora
tion does not. il il said. correctly repre-
sent the general sentiment of the corpo-
TationS in all parts of the country.
Although they would like to see the law
repealed they do not believe it IS wise
politics to make such request now.
They are unanimous. however, in seek
ing 10 nuIlify the publicity provisions of
the law. which, for the present at least,
will I,e nullited by reason of lack of APP
pfopr;stion To carry out the laws man
dates Ou this subject the President
makes il plain that he wishes such an
appropriation. The publicity end of the
Law was, in his judgment, the vital one,
being more important than the compare

IN HIS DENIAL
WILLIAM SEYLER REFUSES TO
ADMIT MURDER CHARGE.
Confronted With Statement That His
Brother Told Story of Jane
Adams Death.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., February 21.-
Although the police have informed Will
liam Seyler that his youngest brother,
Orvis, sgf1as broken down under police
pressure and promised to tell all he
knows. William Seyler who is accused
of killing pretty Jane Adams, still re-
fuses to admit that he was even with the
girl on the night of February 4, when she
was last seen alive. Seyler has stood
three days of the worst grillin( ever given
by the local police. but remains un-
shaken.
why don't you take me into court and
give me a hearing?" was the first com
plant Of the man since his capture and
return to this city. You fellows have
got nothing on me, and l dare you to
take me into court and try TO prove that
had anything to do with Jane Adams
death"
Brothers Statement Not Disclosed.
The statements of Orvis Seyler. wrung
from him after hours of hectoring in the
isolated room given over to police exam
nations in the City Hall, cover twenty
pages of typwriting and are being care
fully guarded in the Office of County
Prosecutor Goldenberg.
Even with their possession of the story
told by Orvis Seyler, the police are still
forced to admit tnat they have nothing
but circumstantial evidence against the
man accused of murder. Witness after
witness mas been found who saw William
Seyler and Jane Adams together, but the
hope of the police of finding an eye
witness of the tragedy has faded, and
unless Seyler breaks down the case will
60 to a jury made up of people who are
known to be prejudiced against imposing
the death penalty on circumstantial evi-
dence.
