Character OF Senator
Aids Is Under Attack

Albany, n. Y, March S.--The character
of Senator Aids and his integrity as a
legislator were targets for the Conger
legal artillery today. The cross-examina-
tion of the defendant at the bribery inves-
tigation began at noon and was unfinished
when the senate adjourned at 5 o'clock.
During that time Conger's attorneys tried
to exhibit the accused senator as a man
without conscience and a public Of
ficer unfaithful to his oath
When the session ended Attorney Os-
borne was concentrating his fire upon
Aids ownership of 100 shares of stock in
the New York Transportation company,
for the purpose of proving that the de-
fendant got possession of this collateral in
1901, as the result of advocating bill fav-
orable to that corporation. Osborne also
strove to show that Aids was unfaithful
to his duty as majority leader of the
assembly, nine years ago, because, al
though he admitted his knowledge of a
legislative corruption fund raised by the
bridge companies, he made no effort to
prevent It's use. Conger's chief counsel
also arraigned the witness for his willing
ness to follow the behest of the late
United States Senator Platt when the lat
ter was republican state leader. In billing
a highway bill which Aids acknowledged
was a good measure.
The rest OF the time Conger's attorneys
devoted to patching up the bad breach
made in their lines by the final shot which
the defense fired at the close of Aids di-
rect examination. This was the reading
of a letter written by Conger to Alias on
May 81, 1901, only a month after the date
of Aids alleged successful effort to

panies
The letter indicated feeling of ex-
treme cordiality between the two lesis-
lators, quite unlike any sentiment that
Conger might be supposed to cherish to-
ward a triumphant member of the black
horse cavalry"
I This letter made too profound a sensa.
ton to be ignored, and Osborne's hasty
attempts to explain 1t were so unsatis-
factory that there is little doubt that he
will return to it later.
The prosecution discovered that Aids
In 1901 had owned 100 shares of New York
transportation stock, by the schedule he
Voluntarily submitted last week.
1t was shown that in 1900 the assembly
passed a bill permitting the New Yorl,

rights. BY the record 1t was proved that
Aids voted for the bill and favored It as
majority leader
Aids defense to these insinuations was
that the bill was so worded that its true
purpose did not appear. He said he
bought the stock on the recommendation
OF one of his friends.
Osborne called the attention of the
Sersfte to this s5tock transaction and
said

Washington, March S.-'The develop

ator Bankhead of Alabama in speech
In the Senate today on his resolution for

Mr.. Bankhead contended that Congress

the state controlled and was entitled to
the unrestricted use of the waters for
all other purposes.

HEAVY ATTACK is MADE
UPON CORPORATION TAX
IN THE SUPREME COURT

washington, March 9.-The attack on
the constitutionality of the corporation
tax loomed into prominence today when
orief after brief in opposition to the law
was filed in the supreme court of the
United States. Final argument of the
cases involving the question is set for
next week. Prominent among them waI
the brief of former Senator Joseph B.
Foraker of Ohio, solicitor for Louis w.
Jared. stoekholder in the American
Multigraph company of Cleveland, o.
who seeks to have the company enjoined
from paying the tax on the ground that
1t is unconstitutional.
Senator Foraker says: "The Indefinite
ness of the language employed in the
corporation tax provision of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law makes 1t difficult to
ascertain just what the tax is' The de-
bate in the Senate over the provisions,
he suggests, warrants the claims that
the ambiguous character of the provis-
lon is due to an effort to bring it with
in the courts Jurisdiction, and he con-
tends that the thing taxed must be one
of these
1. The business carried on by the cor
poration to be taxed.
2. The entire net income from all
sources.
3. The corporation itself.
4. The franchise to be a corporation
8. The privilege of facility afforded by
the incorporation to transact the business
conducted by the corporation.
He claims a studied attempt was
made to avoid using language that
would Indicate that it is the business
as such that is taxed.

all time the possibility of power. A very
distinguished army engineer stated to me
a few days ago that our present plan of
improving our rivers, where favorable
water stations exist, is crime that can
not longer be condoned."
Urging the promulgation of a definite
policy for power development Mr.. Bank
head suggested the establishment of
government bureau as a paramount re-
qurement in connection with 8 general
law for the control of hydro-electric
power enterprises.
Mr.. Burton opposed the Bankhead res
olution providing for the appointment of
a Senate committee to investigate the
water power question, because, he said,
the inland waterways commission had in
hand the same subject. He suggested In
view of the Importance of the question
that the improvement of the streams for
purposes of navigation should be sus-
pended until their power possibilities
were investigated
Mr. Newlands urged the adoption of a
system looking to the cooperation of
states and nations in the conservation of
the water resources of the country.
The resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on commerce.

Philadelphia, March S.-Six persons, in
clnding a young girl, were wounded to-
night by bullets fired by a party of al
legged strikebreakers who rode wildly up
and down Frankfort avenue in trolley
car and shot into the crowds that lined
the sidewalks.
After one of the most uneventfu1 days
since the beginning OF the strike, the
stoning of cars was renewed tonight along
Frankfort avenue, the principal thor
oughfare in the mill district in the north
east section.
A stone thrown by one of the crowd in
jured strike-breaking motorman. In
furiated at this act a crowd of about 10
of his comrades took out car, all of the
windows of which they broke with their
clubs, and as the car loaded with armed
strikebreakers sped down Frankfort ave-
nue. bullets were rained at the jeering
crowd.

received bullet in his helmet about an
inch above his head Helen May, aged
IA years, was struck in the leg by
bullet. John Maloney, aged IS years, and
Michael Osborn, aged "a years, were also
shot In the legs, and Frank Bromily, aged
% years, received a bullet in his foot.
These wounded persons were removed to
the Frankfort hospital.
Two other wounded persons were taken
to their homes.
After reaching Allegheny avenue the car
was switched off to the northbound track
by its crew and then dashed back to the
barn. so swiftly was it driven that before
the crowd realized that it was coming
back II had sped past them and into the
barn again
The shooting OF inoffensive bystanders
worked the crowd up to high pitch of
excitement. and as other cars came down
the street the mob proceeded to wreck
them, in several instances leaving only

the trucks on the rail A dozen arrests
were made.
There were a few minor outbreaks in
the downtown district last night.
Announcement of the decision of the
great ajority OF hosiery interests OF
the city to shut down their plants until
next Monday was the most important
late afternoon development in the strike
situation. The announcement was coupled
with the intimation that II the employees
in the hosiery plants did not return to
work by that time the mills might be
closed down until fall. This action was
decided upon at a meeting of the Phil-
adelpha Hosiery Manufacturers associa-
ton at the Manufacturers club. One OF
the manufacturers afterwards stated that
the association operated mills employing
1000 hands.
While accessions to the strikers ranks
were reported today from some OF the
manufacturing plants, including the ad-
mitted walk-out of few men from the
Baldwin locomotive works. there were
many reports of strikers returning to
their old places.
Union leaders denied that there were
any defections Several meetings of la
bor men were held during the after
noon. The report from Cincinnati that
the local brewery workers might be or
dered out in the sympathetic strike had
apparently been discounted by the local
brewing interests.
The Philadelphia Brewers association,
including the leading employing brewers.
issued a statement signed by President
Augustus W. Woebken In which conf
denee was expressed that the morkmen
would stick to their jobs.
One interesting development in connec-
ton with the strike was the appeal by
officials of the Philadelphia Nagional
league baseball club that the union men
who have been working on the ball park
improvements be permitted to continue.
Unless the entire work is finished by April
10 the opening of the National league sea-
son the baseball men represent that the
club will be badly handicapped.
The labor leaders promised to place
the matter before the full committee.
