the Corn Exchange at Liverpool were
met with today by James A. Patten,
the Chicago wheat and cotton operator.
In the first Mr. Pattcn was mobbed
and probably escaped injury only by
being rescued by the police: in the
latter he was greeted with cheering
and other manifestations of amity. Mr..
Patten will sail from Liverpool to-
morrow for New York on board the
Cunard Line steamer Mauretania.
The brief vacation in England of the

was called as a witness bv Clifford
Pinchot and was examined by Mr.
Pinchots attorney.
Although he expressed reluctance
to testify Mr.. Davis proved to be well
fortified today with maps, dates, data
etc, ard proved in many ways one of
the most important witnesses 50 fai
introduced by the "prosecutiun." He
contradicted fatty many statements
made by Secretary Ballinger to Pres
ident Taft, revealing various inter-
views and talks he from time To time
had with Secretary BallinGer and end
ed the day by declaring that the rccla =
nation service is still in danger OF
diSintregation as a result of Mr.. Bal
nngcr'S attitude toward it.
Mr.. Davis declared that lin languag,
as strong as politcnrSS and proper re-
spcCt would permit" he told Sccre-
tary BalIinger himself that his entire
course had tended to a decentralization
of the service.
With regard to q statement by Mr..
Ballinger To the President that he had
restored many lands withdrawn by
Secretary Garfield on the strength of
recommendations by the reclamation
service that these lands were no long
er needed fer reclamation purposes,
Mr. Davis said that all of the recon-

ders issued by Mr.. BalliHSer,
These orders were repeated. he said,
many times, but were never put into
writing. Director Newell of the rccia =

against tn Secrctary's action.

Against Corporation Tax
In Brief Of Lawyers
For Vermont Corporation, Con-
tending Il Is Illegal.
An Invasion Both OF Constitutional
And State Rights.

Washington, March Ii" For taking
away our charters was one of the
grievances OF the American colonies
against the King of Great Britain At
the time the Declaration Containing
these very Words). was written the
people of Vermont had already ron
dered conspicuous service in the War
of Independence. 1t would be an as
tonishing result. if years after indie
pendence had been won it should be
found that the government established
by the colonies themselves had be-
come an instrument for taking away
our charter.
This is the climax in the brief OF
Maxwell EvartS and Henry 5. Ward
ncr, counsel for Stella p. Flint of Wind
sur, Vt. just filed in the supreme court
of the United States in opposition to
the constitutionality of the cooperative
tax law. The main point is that the
law so far as it affects the Stone-Tracy
Co. is unconstitutional because it in
vades the sovereignty of the state of
Vermont. 1t is also argued that the
company would be deprived Of it's
property without due process of law,
that the law takes private property for
public use without Just compensation,
and that the tax is direct one on
tho franchise and therefore unconsti-
tutional because not apportoned.
Mr.. Evarts started the litigation of un-
constituionality over the tax and he IS
relied upon, largely to present the views
of the corporations to the court in the
oral arguments of the $50 cases next
week.
THE invasion of state sovereignty
through the corporation tax is actual and
real" SAYS the brief. mo person of the
slightest business experience can doubt
that the imposition of the tax and the
forced publicity of corporate affairs as
distinguished from the privacy of the af-
fairs of partnership and individuals and
their exemption from like tax Will drive
to the wall this defendant corporation
and all similar small corporations which
compete with partnerships and individu-
ais.
1T may not seriously affect the larger
and stronger corporations. but it Is be-
vond peradventure that the small corpor-
ations. which live surrounded by COM
netitors. will be extinguished by this dew
astating law if this court permits the
law to stand. All the reserve power OF
the states to create these small corpora

EXPERT ADVICE
Given International ST, John
River Commission,
I'm pIovement Of Channel Would
Be Material Help
And As Important as Water Storage
For log Driving Purposes.

Bangor, Ne. March 1l.-lmpurtaut
evidence was taken at the session OF
the International St. Join river SOM
mission at its second days session to-
dav. Hardy 5. Ferguson. chief hy-
draulc engineer of the Great North
EN- Paper Co., who is located at Mil
linoGket appeared before the commits
sion and his evidence bore directly on
the matter of conservation of water for
log driving purposes. 1t is this matter
in the relation to the St. John Whicl,
the commissioners are now engaged in
investigating. and the engineer in his
evidence was able to give them the
benefit of his practical knowledge OF
| the subject.
Since Mr.. Ferguson has been con-
nected with the Great Northern Paper
Co. the storage facilities of the West
| Branch of the Penobscot, on which the
mills OF the company are located, have
| been doubled, $1,000 100000 cubic yards
| Of water having been added to the
| storage previously existing there. Mr.
| Ferguson described the improvements
which have been made on the West
branch to facilitate log driving, and
| to aid in the conservation of water.
and told the commissioners that the
Improvement of the river channel of
| the st. John would be as important for
| their purposes as the storage of water.
Engineer Ferguson. discussing the
Improvement of conditions on the st.
John river said, that if the channels
| " ere improved, less water would be re-
Quired for driving purposes ana there
would be possibility of storage. The
witness idea would be to send an en-
sincer familiar with the practical side
Of the question to survey the St John
from its head waters TO its mouth ana
determine the difficult points for log
IRVING and the amount of water re-
Illircd. The matters of reSerVoIrlng
should next be taken up. which meant
complete surveys Of all natural sites to
ascertain the cost and the quantity of
water that could be depended upon t"
supply the reservoirs. The areas of
the lakes should be known an! their
outlets examined The lakes tributary
to the ST. John river should he reserr-
vored and construction work should b"
of permanent type The question main
ly to be considered WAS that of eX-
pense
The afternoon session began at 80
o'clock. Engineer Ferguson beng re-
called Some questions were asked III
review of his testimony. He was IN
clined to think that an addition OF 1000
second feet iloWage on Inc ~ Johh
river might be gained by storage but
vas in doubt, as he was not familiar
with the storage capacity available.
To determine this, a series of measure
nenta would be necessary and an OBJ
scrvation of conditions. ite advised
that competent engineers hc engaged
for a preliminary report; the commits
sion to make known the results they
wished to reach and the engineers to
make report accordingly,

Mr. Davis said Secretary Balinger
wrote letter to DR.. Thomas L. Will
of this city, repeating the statements
that lands had been restored upon
accommodation by the acting director
We're no longer needeG. The witness
said ne was the acting director re-
ferred to and he had never made any
sucn recommendation.
Mr.. Davis declared that early in the
present administration he had found
Mr.. Ballingor deeply prejudiccd against
the reclamation service He asserted
that Mr.. Balinger told him to prepare
the list of lands for restoration slowly
so as Tot TO attract public attention
The witness said he had made no at
tempt to influence Mr.. Ballinger as to
these restorationS because he was al
ways met with the first statement that
Mr.. Garlield's withdrawal of the lands
had been entirely illegal. Mr.. Davis
asserted that Mr.. Ballinger was wrong
in telling the President that Mr., Car
fields Withdrawals did not truthfully
show W hat they We're made for. There
was no subterfucc, he said, and if
th'fc NdS any appearance OF SUMTER
fllyc, it was his fault and not Mr.. Car
fields.
The witness testimony showed that
there is quite . fcud between the re
cIamation service and the geological
survey. 1t was on reports by the re-
Clamatiuu service that Secretary Car
fic.d acted in niS withdrawal of power
sites. secretary Ballinger had de-
pended entirely upon the geological
survey. Mr.. Davis did not hesitate to
criticize the survey and declared that
the narrow strips Withdrawn along
streams by the geological survey did
not properly protect the power sites.
The direct examination Of Mr.. Davis
had not been concluded when Hdjourn-
mcnt was taken until tomorrow.

PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.

Philadelphia. March 11.-Thc de-
mands for arbitration of the differ
ences between the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Co., and its 1000 or more strk-
ing employees became insistent today,
from within Philadelphia and outside
Of it, Everywhere it was recognized
that the failure to arrive at an arbitral
agreement was the only thing which
stood in the way of a speedy calling
off of the sympathetic strike in this
city which has practically paralyZed
the city's industrial life and which the
labor leaders again threaten they will
extend if the deadlock continues
These threats, perhaps, were the very
things which stood in the way of an
amicable adjustment.
At a representative meeting of busi-
ness men today the call for arbitration
was the keynote OF a two and Il half
hours debate which eliminated in de-
mandS upon both local and national
influences to set in motion forces to
bring the traction dispute before medi-
atory tribunals for settlement Local
financial commercial and official bodies
and the federal authorities as well as
the salutary influence of the National
CIVIC Federation, were appealed to
step in and end the difficulty.
Governor Stuart at Harrisburg was
petitiOncd by labor men to take ac-
tion and the patriotic citizenship OF
the city and state was invoked in va
rlouS resolutions, statements ana reti-
tons to exert its power to stop cond-
tons which Philadelphia finds grow
ing more intolerable daily.
Each day. however, seemingly brings
tue situation nearer a crisis. Good or

day. Not until late tonight was there
