NEW YORK LEGISLATORS
 WILL HAVE HARD FIGHT
 ON BRIBERY SCANDAL

Albany. N. Y, March 1f.-Senator New comb gave notice today that he was pre- pairing to get some action on his resolu- ton providing for an unlimited investiga- tion of legislative corruption, and his declaration is regarded as the first sig nihcant result of the republican organiza- tion's victory in the senate leadership fight
 The vote on the question of sustain ing Conger's bribery charges against Sem ator Aids was expected to furnish the next clash between the two elements into which disregard of the wishes of Sen ator Root and Governor Hughes and the election Of Senator Cobb as president pro tenn has split the republican party in the senate, but if Newcomb moves next week to take mp his resolution the lineup may come before the Aids Investigation Is over.
 Whatever the truth of the situation may be. public opinion seems to have asso- ciated the opposition to the leadership of Root and Hughes with an intention to shut of further attempts to air legislative scandals and with sympathy for Aids. The statements that came from Senator Root and the governor have been inter- preted by some as bearing directly upon the Aids case, while all the senators who have publicly declared for carrying the present investigation have aligned with

Pdtten Almost MObbed By
 Brokers In Manchester

London. March n--A hostile demon straton on the floor of the cotton ex- change at Manchester and one directly contrasting it for friendliness on the corn exchange at Liverpool was met with to- day by James A. Patten, the Chicago wheat and cotton operator. In the first MT. Patten was mobbed and probably es- capped injury only by being rescued by the police; in the latter he was greeted with cheering and other manifestations of friendliness. Mir. Patten will sail from Liverpool tomorrow for New York on board the Cunard liner Mauretania.
 The brief vacation in England of the Chicago operator had been spent mostly about the Liverpool markets and today he made up his mind to run over to Manchester to see the city and visit the cotton exchange. It was known to MT. Patten that there had been threats of an unpleasant reception should he ' isit Cot tonopolis," but he refused to believe they would be carried into effect. These threats, it is understood. emanated from persons on the exchange who had lost large sums as result of MT. Patten's s operations in Chicago and from others who held him responsible for yesterday s

oral arguments of the 15O cases next week
 The invasion Of state sovereignty through ths corporation tax, Is actual and real says the brief NO 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 affairs of partnerships and individuals. and their exemption from like tax, will drive to the wall this defendant corpor- ation. and all similar small corporations which compete with partnerships and in dividuals"
 Tt may not seriously affect the larger and stronger corporations. says the brief, but 1t is beyond peradventure that the small corporations which live sur rounded by competitors, will be exfin- guished by this devastating law, if this court permits the law to stand All the reserve power of the state to create these small corporations would be renoered as useless as if it never existed
 The court is told that. to declare the law unconstitutional involves no dinii- mutton of the potential resourcefulness or the national government, as was urged would be the case in the Income tax case.
 '1he taxing power of the federal gov ernment," says the attorneys, may reach the business of the defendant corpora ton for per cent, for ID per cent. for DO per cent if necessary, if 1t will but seek out all who are engaged in the same business and not attempt to tax the corporate franchise. 1t is that attempt by Congress to tax franchise created by the state, and not the general power to tax. that makes this argument
 The brief claims that the law was only superficially considered in Congress.

The clamor raised in France against the Wrights be- cause they had appealed to the courts Is now being succeeded by a clear recog- milton of the fact that they are seeking only to protect the fruits of their labor Most of the authoritative papers deal ing with aeroplane matters point out the fact that criticism of the Americans comes from aviators who accomplished nothing themselves until the Wrights had blazed the way.

 Such an investigation could not hurt the Hughes regime, 1t is stated. while ad- herents of the latter believe the legislators whom such proceedings might bring un- der suspicion probably would be identi- fled with. the organization, and that any disclosures would strengthen the position of the Root-Hughes faction.

 While reluctant to discuss the question of further corruption, the legislators TO- night asserted that their constituents are behind them in their refusal to let Senator Root or Governor Hughes dictate their ac- ton on purely organization matters.

 TO CORPORATION TAX

Washington. D, C.. March II. = For taking away our charters was one of the grievances of the American colonies case against the king of Great Britain. A the time the declaration con taining these words was written, the peo. pie of Vermont had already rendered conspicuous service in the war of inde- pendence. It would be an astonishing re- suit if years after that independence had been won, 1t would be found that the government established by the col onies themselves had become an instru- ment for taking away our charters, :" was the climax in the brief of T. M Ev- arts and Henry. s. Warner, counsel for Stella P. Flint of Windsor Vt. just filed in the supreme court of the United States, in opposition to the eonstitutionality of the corporation tax law
 The attorneys maintain the cardinal roint, so far as the law affects the Stone Tracy company, is unconstitutional. be- cause it invades the sovereignty of the state of Vermont.
 It Is also claimed that the company would be deprived of it's property for public use without just compensation, and that the tax is a direct one on the fran chise, and therefore unconstitutional be- cause not apportioned.

 Hardly had MT. Patten touched the floor of the Manchester exchange before the outburst came. He was hooted and jeered by the throng and then surrounded and hustled into the street.

 administration railroad bill is taking
 definite shape Supporters of the bill are
 anxious to have the debate begin next
 Monday. but Senator Cummins of Iowa, who will lead off in the speech-making in opposition, is demanding days postpone

 Senator Cummins, who will discuss the subject in detail, probably will speak for two or three days. He will be followed by Senator Clapp. Both favor material amendments.
 They will make especial efforts to have the Jurisdiction of the commerce court fixed along the lines of that exercised by United States circuit courts. and to ob- tain the insertion of provision requir- ing that the traffic agreements between railroads shall be submitted to the inter- state commerce commission before they become effective.

MARYLAND AIMS TO
 KILL NEGRO VOTE

Washington, March n.-(Speeial)-The voters of Maryland will be called upon to vote at the fall election upon an amendment to the state constitution de- signed to eliminate the negro vote.
 Notwithstanding the defeats of 1907 and 1909 the amendment will be more drastic than any heretofore submitted.
 The proposition. which is embraced in & bill introduced by Senator Price, floor leader of the majority party, is now with the senate committee on amendments to the constitution. It limits the right to register to those entitled to vote prior to January 1, 1868, to naturalized citi- zens or descendants of both classes and to property owners. The property qual- iflcation, 1t is declared, Is inserted for the purpose of avoiding conflict with the fed eral constitution by making too plain the attempt to eliminate the negro vote only.
