The Kaiser's Little Joke.
rom the London Week End

From the London Week End.
The German court circle is not always
stolid and serious, and it may at times
be found in lighter moods. At Letz-
linger Castle, a royal hunting de-
mesne. the kaiser amid boisterous mer-
riment has revived ancient German
hunting customs. The great goblet
that belonged to Frederick William
the Third, and which has to be quaffed
by every one on his first visit to the
castle. was brought out and passed
around. The goblet was filled with
champagne to the brim and handed to
each guest in turn. 1t is set, however,
in stays horns in such a peculiar waF
as to require skillful handling to empty
1t without splitting part Of the con-
tents over the drinker.
All the new table guests at the Letz-
linger had to empty the goblet stand
ing in front of the kaiser. First came
the Crown Prince of Greece. then Prinz
Oscar, followed by the Austrian Hun
garian ambassador, Szogeny Marich, the
Imperial chancellor. the minister OF
marine, Admiral Won Tirpitz and others.
The efforts of these notabiltties to
master the difhculties presented by the
heavy drinking cup, which ought to be
quaffed at one draught. caused great
amusement, the emperor laughing
heartily at every failure. The Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand escaped the
ordeal. as he had visited Letzlinger
previously. Nevertheless. much gold
lace and beautiful cloth was soiled be.
fore the ceremony was concluded.

traffic for the states of Missouri,
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas Nebras-

The petition charges the advan3-

an agreement in the suppression of
competition, of the unlawful COM
bination for restraint of interstate
trade, arrived at and made effect
i've through the agency of the
western trunk line committee, and
that the acts of combination at ad-
vancing rates are the result of con-
spiracy. Further charges are made
that the unreasonable and excess
sive rates apply approximately 20
60 per cent of the commodities car
ried on the various roads, and will
increase the freight charges from
10 to 20 per cent of the rate here
tofore charged.

WASHINGTON. May 31.-Presi-

during his administration he would
not lend his approval to legislation
designed to secure government all
TO specific railroad interests in
Alaska. Instead, he favors a gen.
eral law that would apply to all
who comply with its provisions, the
law to be modelled after the policy
in effect in the Philippines for
years. This announcement came in
the form of an executive approval
of the adverse report made to con-
gress by Ballinger on the bill that
proposed specific aid for the Alaska
Great Northern railroad. The back
ers of the bill, it is claimed, charg-
ed those who opposed their meas
ure were controlled" by the Nor

PROGRESSIVE
REPUBLICANS IN
favor Of BILL
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, May 31.-On the
eve of leaving for his home in
Iowa for the purpose of participat-
ing in the campaign in that state,
Senator Cummins today informed
the senate that as amended the
railroad bill would receive his
vote, as 1t would also the votes o.
the progressive republican senators
who have stood with him in oppo-
sition to the bill as prepared by
the attorney general and introduced
by Senator Elkins. The statement
was made during a speech delivered
by Cummins in support of the
amendment placing upon the rail-
road companies the burden of the
proof in hearings on rate increases.
This amendment was accepted by
Elkins, and became a part of the
bill by general consent. Aside from
the adoption of the Cummins pro-
vision, the action day consisted i'll
the rejection of Senator Brown S
amendment prohibiting the consoli-
dation of competitive railroads.

Jim Corbett again stepped into the

found Jeffries had flown, and Cor

garding the conversational war be-
tween Johnson and Corbett, the
latter declared he would box John
son for charity and would exact
only 10 per cent of the proceeds
with which ''he would buy monu-
ment for Johnson when Jeffries
gets through with him." I'm will

can make him quit he said.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.--
With two dissenting votes and with
out any preliminary discussion, the
permit for the forty-five round con-
test on the Fourth of July betwesn
Jeffries and johnson, was granted
late this afternoon by the board of
supervisors.
The board room was crowded
with representatives of the vari-
GUS churches and civic organiza-
tions who came primed with pro-
tests, but they did not get chance
to voice them as the permit was
advanced on the boards calendar
and passed before they realized
what had taken place. When they
learned that the permit had been
granted, they protested Indignantly
and left the room in body.
BY this action of the supervis-
ors today the last official obstacle
in the way of the promoters is
removed, who may now proceed
with the erection of the arena.

Decision is Made Just Before Court Takes Adjournment
Until Next October
Secretary of the Treasury Announces
He Will Collect Corporation Tax
Until Decision is Reached.

AAoN oAeCh hotiCeu the Keen COul-
petition between the two general
merchandise stores in the town, the
Stone Tracy company, a corpora
ton, and Dwight Tuxbury and
Sons, partnership concern. He
saw what he believed was a dis
elimination against the corporation
Ii 1T were compelled to pay the tax
and make public it's business ar.
rangements, and so accepted the
position of counsel for Stella P.
Flint, as general guardian of the
property of Samuel n. Stone Jr., a
minor, who owned stock in the
Stone Tracy company. Suit was
brought in the federal court by
Mr. Evarts to enjoin the corpora
ton from making the returns and
paying the tax, on the ground that
the law was unconstitutional. The
corporation filed a demurrer, which
was sustained and the bill dis
missed. An appeal was taken to
the supreme court.
The institution of the Flint-Stone
Tracy case was the signal for the
bringing of suits in many sections
OF the United States. All were de-
cided in exactly the same way, and
Invariably appeals were taken To
tpe supreme court The govern
ment was allowed to intervene.
Fifteen cases, headed by the Flint
Stone Tracy suit, were set for ar
gument on March IA.
Two days were consumed in the
argument of the case in the su-
preme court. William d. Guthrie,
of New York, counsel for the Home
Life Insurance company, argued
that if the court would interpret
the law so as not to include In
the net income the income derived
directly from federal state, coun-
ty, or municipal securities and real
and personal property not used or
employed in business, there would
be no question about the constitu-
tionality of the law.
Solicitor General Bowers defend
ed the constitutionality of the law
without qualification. He contend
ed that the tax was not direct
tax upon property, real or per-

franchises of state and therefore
unconstitutional. Former Senator
Foraker of Ohio argued that it was
an income tax. John G.. Johnson
of Philadelphia made a general at
tack on the law Richard V. Lind
