LAST WORD SAID IN BIG TRIAL.
Lawyers Finish Arguments on Corpor-
alton Tax Law in u. S. Court.

Lawyers Finish Arguments on Corpor-
alton Tax Law in US. Court.
Washington, March 10. - The last
word, by the lawyers, on the constitu-
tionality of the corporation tax was
spoken this afternoon, and the Supreme
court of the United States took under
consideration the 15 cases in which the
question arose.
The day was consumed largely by the
presentation of the governments de-
Tense of the law by Solicitor General
Bowers, John j. johnson, of Philadel4
phia, closed the attack on the tax, Just
before court adjourned.
One of the biggest side fights in con-
nection with the great contest was laid
bare when Mr.. Bowers insisted that
the net income from all sources, I"
mentioned in the law as. the basis of
measuring the tax, included all the
property of corporation.
William d. Guthrie and his associ-
ates, Victor Morawets and Howard
Vansinger, counsel for the Home Life
Insurance company, insisted the law
did not mean to include the income de-
rived directly from Federal, state or
municipal securities or from real or
personal property not used or employed
in business. They advanced this doc
trine on the theory that, if the tax
were not levied on such property, the
law would become clearly constitus
tional.
Mr.. Bowers argued that corporations
cannot hold property that was not de-
voted to corporate business, either ac-
lively or passively. He cited the de-
cision of the Supreme court, holding
the United States could levy an intern
al revenue tax on the dispensary of
South Carolina, as showing that the
United States may tax utility corpor-
ations.
Mr.. Guthrie, counsel for the Home
Life Insurance company, followed Mr..
Bowers, arguing that Federal, state
and municipal bonds and property not
actively engaged in business are not
subject to the tax. He also spoke for
the constitutionality of the law as ap-
piled purely to corporations property
actively used in business.
In beginning his argument, Mr..
Johnson said the argument of the solic-
itor general was one he would have
been willing to listen to had it not
been on the other side. AS to Mr..
Guthrie, Mr.. Johnson said he was
"wolf in sleeps clothing" whom he
did not want on his side. What made |
the law so obnoxious, Mr.. johnson ex-
planned, was the publicity feature,
it was proposed to "embalm"
the returns as public record. ''How-
ever" he added, "the act must cut off
a little higher up"

steepIe Jack Falls to Death.

Chicago, March 21.-James Wilson,
known as a a>daring steeplejack, fell 70
feet from smokestack which he was
painting at Twenty-ffth and LaSalle.
He died shortly after he had been TAX
en- to hospital. Wilson intended this
job to be his last before starting for
Oklahoma, were he was to paint some
smokestacks. Wilson created a SEN
sation some years ago when he essayed
to shin up the Flatiron building in
New York. But he had not ascended
more than eight stories when. the po-
lice ordered him to come down.

CANNON sAoRN OF POWERS.
Retains Speakership, but Removed
from Committee on Rules.

!
from Committee on Rules.
Washington, March 21.-Joseph G.
Cannon, of Danville, ILL.,, is still speak
er of the house Of representatives.
But he has lost the ancient prestige
end weapon of that Office when the
allied Republican insurgents and Dem
ocrats took from him not only the
Craftsmanship of, but even membership
IN, the all-powerful committee on rules,
the chief asset in his stock amid scenes
of widest disorder, for the like of
which one must go back to the exciting
days just prior to the Civil war-per-
haps even those times might not dupli-
cate 1.-THE veteran speaker, almost
IA years old, stood erect and defiant,
his head "bloody but unbowed."
At the end, when big Texan Dem
ocrat accepted the speakers daring
challenge and introduced a resolution
to fling him out of the speakership, the
Republican regulars and insurgents,
with few exception, rallied with almost
unbroken party front and gave him a
vote which almost offset the "repudi-
alton of Cannonism.
This is what happened:
By vote of 191 to 155. the Repub-
lican insurgents voting solidly with
the Democrats, the house adopted the
of Representative Norris,
Republican, of Nebraska, requiring a
reorganization of the rules committee,
increasing its membership from five to
ten, and declaring the speaker ineligi-
BILE to membership thereon.
By the curiously identical vote of
191 to 155-but with decidedly differ
ent personnel of alignment-the house
defeated resolution of Representative
Burleson, of Texas, declaring the
speakership vacant and ordering the
immediate election of a successor to
Mr.. Cannon.
The Norris resolution was as follows:
"There shall be a committee on
rules, elected by the house, (hitherto
the committee of five, like all other
house committees, has been appointed
by the speaker, consisting of ten
members, six of whom shall be mem
bers of the majority party. The
speaker shall not be member of the
committee and the committee shall
elect its own chairman from its own
members. Resolved further, that with
in ten days after the adoption of this
resolution there shall be an election of
this committee, and Immediately upon
its election the present committee on
rules shall be dissolved"
Representative Burleson's resolution
follows:
"Resolved, that the office of speaker
Of the house of representatives is here
by declared to be vacant, and the house
Of representatives shall proceed to the
election Of SPEAKER"

1000 ACRES 10 FRUIT.
Minneapolis Capitalists Buy Land il
Waldo Hills; Newell to Manage.


Salem-A deal was closed recently
by which the A. c., Bohrnstedt com
pany of Minneapolis has acquired near
ly 200 acres of fruit land east of Sa-
lem, in what is known as the Waldo
Hills. Under the caption of the
Waldo Hills Orchard company. with a
capitalization of 1925, 1000, the land
has been taken up quietly by a group
of local and Eastern men and is to be
set out with apples and cherries exclu-
sively, and the latest horticultural
methods applied to the tract.
W. K. Newell of CASTOR, president
of the state board of horticulture,
will manage the company for the
Bohrnstedt Interests. Early in the
fall of 1909, Bohrnstedt, with the
board Of directors of his company, to-
gether with Newell and some of the
company's field men, made a trip of
investigation in and around Salem,
with the result that the big purchase
consummated was brought about.
The Bohrnstedt company has recent
ly planted out about 1000 acres of
fruit land near Creswell, in Lane coun-
ty, so they are not entirely strangers
to Oregon. Mr.. Newell also has been
experimenting the work in Lane coun-
ty for the Minneapolis capitalists. E.
G. Armstrong, county fruit inspector
for Marion county, will be in direct
charge of the orchard work for the
agricultural corporation. c. A. Ra-
dell, who has been managing the Port
land office of the Bohrnstedt people,
will move his headquarters to Salem.
The intention of the company is to
set out Immediately and in the coming
winter 140 acres. During the winters
Of 1911 and 1912, 600 acres more will
be set out, and the balance to follow
as rapidly as possible.

bogus" PICTURE is REAL.
Artist, 72, Identifies alleged "Fake"
Canvas as Genuine.


Canvas as Genuine.
New York, March 21.-F. Hopkin-
son Smith, painter and author, was the
chief witness today in the suit brought
by William T. Evans against William
Clausen, an art dealer, to recover $35, :
600 for two pictures Evans bought from
Clausen as genuine Homer Martins, +"
and which experts have pronounced bo-
gus. Homer Martin was one of the
early American landscape painters.
Mr.. Smith said he is 72 years old,
and some of his pictures had been hung
in the Paris saloon. He is very posi-
tive in his testimony and pronounced
the pictures involved in the Evans suit
as unquestionably genuine.
"The way the color here is showed
ahead of the brush," he continued,
taking the painting "Normandie Bride"
in hand, els characteristic of Homer
Martin. Again in this picture, he has
let the paint dry 10 or 20 hours in
places and gone over it again, drag
ging the brush along the surface. No
man living could initiate that"
Mr.. Smith said he had known Martin
intimately and that he had seen him
paint the very picture in question from
a sketch.

Survey New Road to Seaside.

Seaside-A force of Hill engineers
and surveyors is engaged running a
survey from Hammond, eight miles
from Astoria on the Astoria & Colum-
bia River railway to Seaside and then
up the Necanicum river. Within the
past week the lines have been run to
Seaside and now the engineers are
working about two miles above Seaside.
Despite the emphatic denials of mem
bers of the crew that they are connect
ed with any railroad, the engineer in
charge of the work is a prominent
Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway
engineer.
The survey skirts the beach from
Hammond to Gearhart, from which
point it follows the county road to Sea-
side, continuing to the bank of the
Necanicum. This survey evidently is
being made with the idea of heading
off the Astoria, Seattle & Tillamook
railway, on which it has been announc-
ed $50, 900 will be spent in the next
three months.
That in the event of the electric
road being pushed to a conclusion, as
has been promised, the Astoria e. Col
umbia River railroad scenic line seems
probable, for whereas at present the
road runs from one to two miles from
the beach, the route of the electric
runs less than a half mile from the
shore. The Hill survey is between this
route and the ocean. In Seaside three
months ago G. N. Flower, travelling
freight and passenger agent, said that
the road would shortly be moved to the
beach

Van Norden | stopped andy -'sekedsit up. As be stopped second woli.sh stumbled on his feet axld in regaining her balance. threw her arms about his neck. There was a moment of confusion, many apologies and then all three went their ways.
 When MT. Van Norden next morning transferred his poclzetboot from his dress coat to his sack coat he noticed that it felt slim and opened 1t. The 2S 5000 bills were gone.
