John Wells Drowned.

John Wells. the carperter who had charge of the repair work for the Union Saw Mill company for several years up until last fall, was drowned at 2 o'clock last Tuesday afternoon at lock and dam No. 6 in the Ouachita river east of here when about 30 feet of the coffer- dam around the lock gave way. He could have reached a place of safety with the other twenty men working in the enclosure had he not returned and tried to carry out his tools. One other man. Ira Mum. came near meeting the same fate, but realizing his danger dropped his tool box and grabbed a floating timber in time to save himself but was badly bruised by other timberS striking his limbs. The body was not recovered until Thursday afternoon as it was nec- essary to remove all the floating forms and timbers in the lock be- fore it could be dragged
 The deceased was a widower and about AS years of age with no known relatives living. He was one of the survivors of the big Iriquois Theatre fire in Chicago, also of the Galveston flood, but his judgment seemed to fail him on this occasion and cost him his life.
 The concrete work on the lock is still in tact, but it will be nece ssary for the contractors, c. c. Hodgson. of Dayton, Ohio. to construct a new cofferdam next spring when work is resumed.

Fire Caused by Burning Gas
Jet Near Pile of
Papers.

Patrolman Torticallo. of the Fourth
precinct, got his chance to show him
self a hero in blue cloth this afternoon.
and he showed it by carrying two un-
conscious women and six little children
down the stairs to safety from the
flame-swept tenement house at 20S
Spruce street.
Torticallo was calling up his station
house at the corner near the five-story
apartment house when he looked
around and saw smoke belching out
from the rear windows of the big tene-
ment block. The fire had started in the
kitchen of the Elman fats because
Mrs. Elman< had taken her children out
for an airing without thinking to turn
off kitchen Jet of gas that, the police
say, was burning too close TO a bundle
of newspapers.
Torticallo ran into the house and up
the stairs and was met by a draft
of smoke, fairly smothering all the
floors above. But he put his police
cap over his face and dashed through
the smoke up to the third floor. whe, g
he broke in a locked door and found
Mrs. Mary Kobrin lying senseless on
the floor with her 5-year-old daughter
running wildly through the halls. He
took Mrs. Kobrin under one arm and
Annie Kobrin under the other and
walked down the stairways through the
smoke again and carried them to
Dultz's drug store across the street.
Then he went back up the stairways.
which weren't smoke-swept this time,
but were fiame-swept. On the fifth
floor he found three other small chill
dren who were taking the advice Of the
crowd that had gathered in the rear
and stood by the windows instead of
jumping out. Torticallo is a strong
policeman. He tucked two of these
girls under his arms and made the
third one climb on his back, and he
was going down the stairs with them
when he saw Mrs. Mile Shapiro, of
the third floor, stumble on the steps
and fall headlong halfway down.
He took her out with the three chill
dren, and then went back and got her

DICKINSON CHANGES
HIS PANAMA PLANS

NEW YORK, March 13.-Jacob M.
Dickinson, secretary of war, will not
sail for Panama this afternoon. as he
had planned to do.
Secretary Dickinson was emphatic in
Declaring that the Mexican situation
was not influencing his plans in the
slightest degree. He declared that there
would not in his belief, be any move
ment of United States troops across
the border and that Intervention was
not being contemplated.
Secretary Dickinson arrived at the
Office of the Panama Railroad Com
pany this morning, where he was en-
gagged with the vice-president of that
company and representatives Of the
California-Atlantic Steamship Com
pany and the Pacific Mall Steamship
Company, In regard to the new agree
7nents to be made between the Panama
Railroad Company and those steam
ship companies The present allow
ance of 70 per cent. to the steamers
plying in the coastwise trade had been
allowed by the Panama Railroad Com
pany, with the right to determine 1t
upon ninety days notice. The ninety
days notice was given with view
of entering into the new arrange
ments, and the time expires in April.
II do not believe there will be any
movement Of our troops into Mexico.
There can be no excuse for inter-
vention," continued the secretary, "un-
less the Mexican government proves
negligent in protecting the persons or
the property of foreign residents. and
such negligence would have to be firm
ly established, in my opinion, before
any such step could be taken. There
are no conditions now existent to give
us such warrant.
IN order to maintain the neutrality
laws it has been deemed advisable to
send troops to the border, and on ac-
count of the immense length of the
frontier sand the fact that the Rio
Grande can be crossed at almost any
point, a larger number of troops has
been dispatched than would otherwise
prove necessary

CORP PORAT|ON TAX
IS SUSTAINED As
CONSTITUTIONAL
Justice Day Delivered Decision
of the United States SUI
preme Court.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The COR
poEation tax provisions of the Payne
Aldrich tariff act were sustained today
as constitutional by the Supreme Court
of the United States.
Thereby a source of income of ap-
proximately $25, 900, 900 annually was as
sured to the government.
OF all the objections to the tax raised
by suits in all parts of the country
none of them was found sufficient to
nullify the law. The court did hold
that the tax was not applicable to the
real estate trust of Boston, which is
organized not under any statute, but
under the common law. The law was
held not applicable to the Minneapolis
syndicate, real estate concern, on the
ground that 1t was not doing bust
ness" within the meaning of the law.
At 1925 Justice Day began to de-
liver the decision of the Supreme Court
on the constitutionality Of the cor
poratlon tax. He said that the court
held the tax as an Excise tax on the
doing of business" which IS exactly
the basis on which the government
has defended the law.
Justice Day first announced that 1t
was within the power of the Senate to
insert the corporation tax provisions
in the tariff law, which originated in
the House and of which the tax pro-
visions are a part.
Justice Day next held that the tax
provisions were not the arbitrary exer-
else of a power This was urged In
argument as one reason why the law
should be held unconstitutional.
After Justice Day had thus given the
Interpretation which the court had put
upon the provisions of the act he pro-
ceeded to answer the various otjec-
tionsf urged against the constitutional
ity of the tax. He first took up the
contention that 1t was a direct tax and
unconstitutional for the same reasons
that the famous income tax law was
declared unconstitutional in 1895. He
pointed out that the income tax was
held to be direct because imposed upon
property simply because Of it's owner
ship.
I'm the present case" said Justice
Day, "the tax is not payable unless
there is a carrying on or doing busi-
ness in the designated capacity, and
this is made the occasion of the tax,
measured by the standard prescribed.
The difference between the acts is not
merely nominal, but rests upon sub
stantial differences between the mere
ownership of property and the actual
doing of business in a certain way"
Justice Day next took up the objec-
ton that the provisions in question
levied a tax upon the exclusive right
of State to grant corporate franchises
In that IT taxed franchises which are
the creation of a State In it's sovereign
right and authority.
I'VE think" says the opinion, 1T is
the result of the cases heretofore de-
cided in this court that such business
activities, though exercised because of
State-crea+ed franchises. are not be-
yond the taxing power of the United
States

PRUDENTIAL CO.
SENDS BIC CHECK
FOR BACK TAXES
Pays $730,869.75 Due on Spe-
cial Fund, for Which City
Won Suit.

A check for $780, S69.75 from the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company is today in
the hands of Receiver of Taxes Ross.
This is the largest check ever received
by the department and is the payment
of taxes on the special reserve fund of
the company for 1909 and 1870 which
was withheld pending the decision of
the Court of Errors and Appeals
Just a week ago today the courts de-
cided that the city is emitted to the tax
on this special fund. and today the
check was brought into the comptrol-
ler's office by Edward D. Duf1eld one
of the Prudential counsel. The check
was made out to Comptroller Parmly
by mistake. He indorsed it, however,
and transferred 1t to Mr.. Ross 1t was
signed by Frederick A. Boyle, the cash
Ter of the company, and countersigned
Duffield delivered the check without
comment.
Out of this amount Collector William
r. Tunison will receive sS,379.61, which
is 8 per cent on the 1909 tax and fee
of 80 cents besides On the 1910 tax
there was no collectors fee.
This is the first time that a deputy
collector received SO large a sum on
any assessment. The law says that
after a certain time the collector is en-
titled to 3 eper cent. of the full amount
on the assessment, but never before
was a collector fortunate enough to
make so great a haul"
The original amount of the 1909 as
sessment was s279, ,30360; to this is
added the 8 per cent. collectors fee,
amounting to sS,379, and the additional
amount of so cents. Then there is tho
interest of s41,030.S4, the advertising
fee of 20 cents and the return fee of 4
cents, making the total amount for
1909 1928, ,724.29
The amount of the original 1910 as
sessment was 1891, ,472.9S and the IN
terest charge, s1O,6S2.4S, brings the sum
to $402, ,154.46. Tunison will have to
wait until the check Is again in the
comptroller's hands and then an order
will be made out to the comptroller for
the currency to pay the collector
The history in back of the payment
of this sum is interesting. In 1909 the
Sity dSsesseu lhe COihpdly On special
reserve fund which amounted to $14,-
623, 3,279.27 The company refused to pay
the taxes on the ground that this was
a special fund and should be exempt.
The tax department differed with the
company and the matter was taken
to the State Board of Equalization of
Taxes, which ruled In favor of the
company
1t was next taken TO the Supreme
Court, which gave verdict in favor of

NOT ALLOWED TO
SEE REMAINS Of
DEAD DAUGHTER
Richard Bransom Informed That
1t Was Girls Dying
Wish.

only over my body can you enter to
see the dead body of your daughter"
were the words of Mrs. Bransom, SO
Union street, as her husband sought
admittance today to view the corpse
of the girl who known as Nellie Will
son, dropped dead on her way to a
moving picture show Friday night last.
Richard Bransom appeared before
Judge Hahn at the Third Precinct
Police Court this morning to complain
that his family refused him admittance
when he came to see his daughter,
who he had just heard was dead.
The story he told Captain Christie
when questioned was that he was
separated from his wife about twelve
years ago, being ordered to pay IS a
wee, He paid the money till five
years ago, when the children became
large enough to support themselves. He
also stated that she had been since
living with Mr.. Wilson, who claimed
to be her husband.
Captain Christie sent a man with
Bransom, ordering that unless the fam
lily were perfectly willing to let him
enter he should leave peaceably.
When the house was reached the
mother and a married daughter. Mrs
Charles Ruder, answered the knock.
Upon seeing him both began reviling
him, saying that he had never done
anything to support Nellie when she
was alive, and that he was not fit to
see her when she was dead.
1T was the girls dying wish that you
should not see her, and her wish will
be obeyed. Only over my dead body
can you come in"
Almost Attacked Husband.
After uttering these words the mother
became so hysterical that it was only
with great difficulty that she was re-
strained from fiinging herself at him
Afterward, when she was Gained,
the daughter came out and told the
father that If he did not leave inn
mediately they would throw him down
stairs, officer or no officer.
Mrs. Ruder when questioned after
ward, said that the father was worth
less, and had never done anything for
the children. "He never did anything
for us and he does not deserve any
Ever since l can re-
member he used to come home drunk
and he always made trouble He paid
the money he was ordered to pay only
about four weeks, but we were SO glad
to be rid of him that we never bothered
about 1t
"As for his statement about a Mr..
Wilson there ~is nothing in 1t, and he
knows It, My mothers maiden name
was Wilson. and that is the name she
took after the separation"
