mentality and functions Of sovereignty be-
longing to the state OF Vermont and that
such tax was never agreed to, either
expressly or by implication, by the state
of Vermont or the people of the state at
the time the state was admitted to the
union or since. The orator AYERS that
the provisions of the act as touching q
tax upon corporations are unconstitutional
under the fifth amendment of the consti-
tuition of the United States which provides
that no person or persons shall be de-
prived of property without due process
of law. The orator AYERS that through
the publicity the privacy of the defend
ants affairs will be largely destroyed and
that the defendants chief competitor,
Dwight Tuxbury & Sons. will be able to
gain an intimate knowledge of the private
affairs of the defendants
The orator further AYERS that the filing
Of such a return as called for under the
federal corporation tax law will take from
the defendants their property without due
process, and that the requirements of the
act constitute an interference with the
sovereign powers of the state of Vermont.
It is also averred that the so-called special
excise tax is not in reality such tax,
but is direct tax upon the charter and
of the defendant corporation.
Mrs. Flint. the orator, as stakeholder,
lsks the defendants not to voluntarily
make such return to the collector of in
ernal revenue, but to contest the con-
of the provisions of the
ct of congress.

CLAIMS HE Is HELD ILLEGALLY
Wong Hee, Young Chinaman. Sought
Habeas Corpus Writ Of Judge Martin.

A hearing for habeas corpus took place
before Judge j. l.. Martin in the United
States court chambers Friday afternoon in
| the cases of Wong Hee and Chin Linn, Chi
namen held at the detention honse at
Richford. District Attorney Alexander l..
Dunnett OF st. Johnsbury represented the
government and Robert NJ. Moore Of Ma
yer of Brooklyn, n. Y. appeared for the
Cinnamon. United States Marshal Horace
w. Bailey and Clerk Fred l.. Platt of Rut-
land were present. Chinese Inspector Ar
thur L. Weeks of Richford was the only
witness examined. The attorneys for the
Cinnamon claimed that their clients were
illegally held by purely arbitrary ruling
of the inspector. It was claimed in the
case of Wong Hee that he is young man
of 20 years who has spent practically all of
his life in Massachusetts cities, living the
greater part of the time in Pittsfed. The
records showed that Senator Crane of
behalf of Wong Hee A prominent banker
of Pittsfeld is also interesting himself in
the young Chinaman The records showed
that Wong Hee made visit to China in
1907 and in passing through the port Of
Richford on his way to the Pacific coast
presented his papers to Inspector Weeks
who made an affidavit thereon that the man
had passed over the border enroute to
China. The mans papers stated that he
was born in the United States and bore
photograph of Wong Hee taken when he
was ID years of age; Upon his recent re-
turn Inspector Weeks refused him adms-
sion despite the fact that he held papers
bearing Mr.. Weeks affidavit that he had
passed through Richford in 1907 on his
way to China. A recent photograph of
Wong Flee was exhibited to the court
which was naturally unlike the early pic
ture of the man inasmuch as he has reached
maturity and from the fact that the first
picture showed the man dressed in native
Chinese garments while the recent picture
shows him wearing American clothes with
his hair cut after the style of men of this
country.
Wong Hee's attorneys, who had waived
the appearance of their client in court,
asked that he be brought before Judge |
Martin that the court might pass upon the |
matter of identity. Chan Kew, who ap. |
Deared for the relatives of Wong Hee, in.
formed the court that he would pay the |
expenses OF bringing the man to Brattle. |
