Sir Ernest Shackleton's
 Lecture Tomorrow Night

Sir Ernest Shackleton lectures to- morrow evening at the Jackson thea Ire and under title of "Farthest South gives a vivid and dramatic description of his dash for the South Pole. Sir Ernest is a most interest ing speaker. He is very simple, mod est and unaffected and his strong vein of hunlor relieves the tension of a narrative which might otherwise be rather somber. It was a race with Death and there was not a single member of Sir Ernest's party who did not risk his life over and over again, ShackIeton tells of one place where he slipped down a crevasse and the rope which held him was cut by the sharp edge of the rock, until only a single strand remained when the others rescued him.
 While Shackleton and his party did not quite reach the South Pole, yet he explains it was only a matter of lack of food. If there had been 50 pounds more food they could have made it. As it was they could have reached the South Pole but that would have absolutely exhausted their supplies.
 The Shackleton lecture is illus trated by a series of splendid nov ing pictures which he was able to obtain in the Antarctic regions. Then there are other slides which show all sorts of scenes from the humorous to the tragic.

This was a clue for Eddie Madigan to sing E@TelI It to Sweeney. MT. Madigan received a big hand for his rendition of this difficult number. He responded by entertaining the audience with a few lively soft shoe steps.
 Then followed the big hit of the evening, the octette number in which Shea and O'Brien, and the Messrs. Mahoney, Burdick, Barry and Keeg- af. They sang a slever song, "We'n Wander On, Nowhere" It was the deciding hit of the evening. The young ladies were attired in silk gowns and the young men in frock coats and wore high silk hats. It was easily the best act of the whole bill. Following this number all of the songs of the evening were rendered in the finale.
 The audience was a most repre- sentative one including many of the city's most representative citizens.

owen FAVORS
DIRECT VOTE
Oklahoma Member Comes Out
Strongly for Election of Sen
ators by People
WOULD SUBMIT AMENDMENT
Speaks in Senate Today in Favor Of
Resolution Providing for submis-
sion of Question for Direct
Elections.

Washington, May Sit will be
better for this country" said Senator
owen, of Oklahoma, in the senate, to-
day, when senators and members Of
congress and state legislators and mu-
nicipal legislators are chosen by the
direct vote of the people and when the
people have the right of recall by the
nomination of a successor to their pub
lie servants. The people will never
abuse their power" The senator was
speaking in the senate i'm favor of a
resolution introduced by him, in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the legis-
lature of the state of Oklahoma, pro-
viding for the submission of a consti-
tutional amendment for the election
of senator's by direct vote of the peo-
lple
Such an amendment, he said, would
prevent the corruption of legislatures,
would prevent the improper use of
money in the campaigns by men ambi-
tious to obtain a seat in the senate and
would compel candidates for the SEN
ate to be subjected to the severe scru-
tiny of campaign before the people
and compel the selection of the best
fitted men. Further, he said 1t would
popuarize government and tend to In
crease the confidence of the people I'm
the senate. (which has been TO some
extent impaired in recent years" 1t
would also prevent deadlocks, he con-
tinued, due to political contests in
which various states from time to time
had been left unrepresented
Il cannot believe" said Senator ,Ow-
en-, that the senate is conscious of the
widespread pubic demand for the cleo
tion of senators by direct vote of the
people. / therefore submit evidence OF
action taken by the various states
showing that thirty-six of them have
expressed themselves, in one form OF
another, favorably to the election OF
senators by direct vote of the people
II believe" he declared, that the
will of the people is far more nearly
right in the main than the will of any
| individual statesman who is apt to be
honored by them with seat in the
senate: that the whole people are more
apt to be safe and sane, more apt to
be sound and honest than a single in
dividual. At all events l feel not only
willing but really desire to make eff
fective the will of the people of my
state"
Senator owen maintained that 1.-The
great evil from which the American
people have suffered in recent years
has been the secret but well known
alliance between commercial interests
and machine politics. by which com
mercial interests have endeavored ant
often succeeded in obtaining legisla'
ton giving them special advantages
in nation, states and municipalities
and obtained administrative and judi
cial immunity so that the laws have
not been properly enforced against

CORPORATION
TAX CASES TO

Supreme Court of the u. S. Today
Hands Down This Decision in
Famous Cases
TO TEST VALIDITY OF TAX

Washington ID. c., May 31.-The
supreme court today set the corpora
tion tax cases for re-argument at the
beginning of the next term before the
full bench.
President Taft is regarded as the
father of the corporation tax idea as
represented in this statute. He evolv-
ed 1t during the discussion of tariff
legislation and income and inheritance
taxes in 19OS-19O9. As n result, con-
gress inserted the Corporation Tax
Law" into the Payne-Aldrich tariff act
passed by Congress last summer. 1t
became Section SS of that statute.
The law subjected to the tax in a
general way every corporation, joint
stock company, or association, organ
lied for profit and having a capital
stock represented by shares, and
every insurance company. The tax
was designated as "a special excise
tax with respect to the carrying on
or doing business" and 1t was provid-
ed that 1t should be equivalent to
one per centum upon the entire net
income" over and above $4,000 receiv-
ed "from all sources" during the year
There were to be excluded from the
income. however, amounts received al
dividends upon stock of other organ
zations. such as labor. agricultural
horticultural and fraternal beneficiary
societies.
One paragraph of the law provided
for the publicity of the returns re-
quired as a basis of fixing the tax.
The tax was TO be paid on or before
June 30 of each year and the returns
for each year were to be made b!
March 1. II was provided that tn
tax should be paid for the year end
ing June 3. 1910. although the Law
was not passed until August 5, 1909.
