RIGHTS
ARE AT STAKE
This is the Principal Question In
volved IN Fight on Corpor-
alton Tax Law.
|Ex-CnIfF JUSTICE IS QVOTFD
From Briefs Filled in Opposition to
New Measure II is Evident That
Lawyers are Agreed on
Method Of Attack.

Washington, March 9.-From briefs
filed i'm the supreme court of the Unit
ed States in opposition TO the corpora
tion tax. lawyers who have examined
them have drawn the conclusion that
the principal fight on the constitution
ality of that measure Is to be waged
over the question whether 1t is an i'm
proper tax on the powers of the states
to grant franchise.
Fred X. r. Coudert, counsel In two
cases i'm which the tax is opposed, fea-
lures this attack on the law. He arr
CUES at length against the so-called
infringement by the federal govern
ment on the rights of the states. "The
power to grant charters" says he in
his brief, "is one of the oldest of state
powers. II antedates the revolution.
The destruction OF this power by the
general government would thus be an
attack upon, and possibly the ami
hilation of one OF the greatest and old
est state functions"
In the brief of John j. Johnson. and
Frederick j. Stimson, in opposition 10
the tax I'm another case. they conclude
their argument by this quotation from
Former Chief Justice Marshall:
mo political dreamer was ever wild
enough to think of breaking down the
lines which separate states and oi
compounding the American people into
one common mass"
Jed L. Washburn in a brief in favor
OF holding the tax unconstitutional re-
fers TO the same point as follows:
"If whatever the u. S. has a righ'
TO do" said he. ''the individual states
have no right TO undo, as has beer
stated. ii is equally true that what.
ever the individual states In exercise o
reserved power under the tcntl
amendment have right to do th'
congress os the United States has no
the right to undo"

Minister of Agriculture Sees Count Of
100000 in 1911.

Ottawa, ont, March 9.-Here is
prophecy made today by Sidney Fish
er, minister of agriculture:
Next year it will be my duty TO
take the census of Canada, and /
firmly believe the census will show
5000, 900, an increase in the past ten
years of so per cent.
"In the course Of the next gener-
alton we will be doubling and trebl-
ing our population which will mean
that America will be sending her best
blood to Canada as we did i'm the early
day of the United States history.
Canada provides the old country
with her grain at present, and it will
not be far in the future when Cam
ada is the granary of the empire"
He declared the United States in
a short time will cease to export
wheat, and would perhaps in fifteen
years turn to Canada for quantity Of
wheat in the same measure as she
does now for quality in wheat

WANTS SUTTON
CASE REOPENED
Mother Of Naval Lieutenant In
siStS his Death Was Result
of a Plot.
INTRODUCE RESOLUTION TODAY
Thorough Reinvestisation of Myster-
ious Death Of Young Man Is
Asked of Consress-May Also
Start Civil Suit.


Washington, ID. c., March 9.-The
Sutton case" which has already been
the subject of two naval inquiries, is
to be brought before public attention
again and from all indications II is
destined TO be as prolific of official in
yestgations as the Brownsville af-
fair. Today a joint resolution was in
troduced in both houses of Congress
asking for a thorough reinvestlgation
into the death of Lieutenant Jfmes S
Sutton and of all the events leading
up to the tragedy. Simultaneously. it
is understood, the mother of the lieu
tenant will institute proceedings in
the civil courts of Maryland.
Lieutenant Sutton died at Annapolis
as a result OF wound in the head
caused by a pistol shot on october 13,
1907. At the time OF his death the
lieutenant was a student at the ma
rine school of application. According
to the testimony given at the first in
vestigation Sutton quarrelled with a
brother officer as they. accompanied
ing in an automobile from a dance at
Annapolis to the barracks. There was
a fist fight after the party left the
automobile i'm which Sutton is said to
have been vanquished. The testimony
tended to show that he went to his
quarters and obtained a revolver with
the intention OF shooting his antagon-
list. He fired one shot at Lieutenant
Robert f. Adams of the Marine Corps,
but did not strike him.
Lieutenant Edward p. Rocker an
other Marine Corps officer. who was
a member of the party. attempted to
intervene and struggled with Sutton
in an attempt to disarm him. A second
shot from Suttons pistol pierced Roel-
ker's clothes. but did not penetrate
his body. According to the testimony
Sutton. who had been thrown to the
ground in his encounter with Roel-
ker, then shot himself i'm the head.
A board of officers appointed to In
vestigate Sutton's death rendered a
verdict that he had committed suicide
and that no person was in any way
responsible for his death. About n
year ago. as a result of an agitation
IN the part of the family and friends
Of the lieutenant, the matter was
reopened and another board appoint
ed to inquire into the circumstances of
the tragedy 1t was rumored at the
time that sensational disclosures
would be made and that the arrest of
one or more Marine Corps officers on
the charge of being concerned in the
death of Lieutenant sutton might fol-
low. Numerous witnesses were sum-
moned, but after thorough investi-
cation the board arrived at the same
verdict as its predecessor. namely
hat Sutton had come to his death by
his own hand. The mother still main
tains, however. that her son did not
die by his own hand. but that his
death was the result of conspira-
cy

NO ACTION TO
REWARD PEARY
Sub Committee Of House Naval
Committee Inclined to Favor
Postponement.
MUST SUBMIT PROOFS FIRST
Declaration is Made That There is Alb
soluteIy Nothing Before the Com
nittee to Show That Explorer
Found Pole.

Washington. d. c., March 9.-Indi-
cations point TO the postponement at
any congressional action TO reward
Peary for his conquest Of the north
until after his proofs shall have been
published.
The sub committee of the house Ma
val committee considering the matter
is inclined TO recommend no action be
taken at present.
Il am absolutely opposed to Con-
gress granting any award to Com
mander Peary unless his proofs are
made public" declared Representative
Roberts of Mass, member of the
sub committee.
mo doubt the members of the COM
mittee would not be able to tell any
thing about Peary's records even IL
they were submitted to use. for we are
not scientists. but at least the coua-
try would be given a chance 70 know
why we were honoring him.
There is nothing whatever before
us to show that Peary has discovered
the Pole. further than the statements
of certain gentlemen that he did. How
could the members Of this committee
60 into the house and support any bill
which they presented when they had
no facts to back il up? We would
be in a ridiculous attitude"
