TO HOLD OFF TAX
Resolution Offered Giving
Grace to Corporations.
PRESIDENT is SURPRISED
White House States That Plan Will
Be Bitterly Opposed-Wicker-
sham Is Indignant.

Senator Culom today introduced in the
Senate joint resolution postponing until
January l next the payment of the cor
poration tax. The legislation is desired
because of the delay Of the Supreme
Court of the United States in determining
the constitutionality of the corporation
ia. provision Of the Payne Aldrich tariff
law.
The resolution was referred TO the COM
mittee OIL finances.
President Taft is absolutely set against
Senator Cullom's resolution. He will op-
nose it tooth and nail. The White House
knows that if the tax is not collected
bond issue will be necessary this sum-
mer. 1t was expected that more than
sc5 900 would be collected through the
tax.
This money was to have been put in a
separate account. but was to have been
used, and if the Supreme Court found
the corporation tax law unconstitutional
would have been repaid.
Attorney General Wickersham, who
happened to be at the White House when
news came of Senator Cullom's resolu-
ton, became indignant when asked about
1t. He said that it was surprising to
learn how many people desired to nullify
law which meant SO much to the gov
ernment finances.
The President, it was said, was greatly
surprised to learn of the introduction of
this resolution.

PRAISED FOR BRAVERY.
Two Seamen Are Commended by the
Secretary of the Navy.

The Secretary of the Navy has written
letter to Herman Miller, first-class fire
man on the receiving ship Franklin,
heartily commencing him for his gal
lantry in jumping overheard at Norfolk
on the 9th instant and attempting to
rescue Urban j. Bauer, an apprentice
seaman who had fallen overheard. A
similar letter has been sent to Otto F.
Miller OF Kokomo, Ind, twenty years Of
age. ordinary seaman on the Delaware,
who also jumped overheard at the same
time from his ship In the effort to rescue
Bauer.
The Secretary says that the fact that
these sailors were unsuccessful does not
in any way detract from the heroism of
their act in risking their lives by jump
ing overheard in a strong tide in an effort
to save the life of a shipmate.

When Blaze Started.

CORNING, \. Y. June 14-Clarence
Buck and his son Bernard were burned
to death today I'm fire which destroyed
their powder factory operyted by the
Buck Manufacturing Company of Cou-
dersport, a. The origin of the fire, which
occurred late yesterday afternoon, is a
mystery.
The elder Buck was the inventor of a
so-called safety powder which was
manufactured at the Coudersport plant
by a secret process carefully guarded.
Only few days ago Mr. Buck had told
the secret of his process to brother.
Yesterday he took his son into the mixing
room of the powder mill to explain the
process to him. 1t is supposed that some
thing went wrong with their manipulation
of the ingredients, and that the fire
started in the mixing room.
All of the employees of the plant
escaped The bodies of the two Bucks
were found after the fire was extin-
guished, burned almost beyond recogni-
ton.

STEEL TRUST WANTS CATS.
Plant at Town of Gary Overrun by
Rats,

CHICAGO, H.. June 1.-THE United
States Steel Corporation al Gary wants
cats. The demand for cats is due to the
number of rats that infest the plant.
For months the company has been pes
tered by rodents, and every known form
of poison and traps has been tried with
out success.
The final blow came when one or the
rats got tangled up in one of the great
dynamos which gives power to the blast
furnace mill This tied the work up for
several hours and resulted in the loss OF
several thousand dollars. Gary was
hunted in vain for stray cats, and as a
last resort an advertisement was inserted
In q Gary paper.
