INSURANCE MEN TO
SEEK INJUNCTION
Big Companies in Fight on
Corporation Tax.

Several of the leading insurance COM
application of the corporation tax, the
decision of which involves about $40, 900
a year to the government in internal
revenue taxes. The life insurance COM
panies that are mutual or issue partici-
pating policies have brought one case
before Royal z. Cabell, Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue, and the fire in
surance companies have raised another.
Some Of the most distinguished lawyers
in the country have submitted briefs and
been heard in oral arguments on the
question. The Commissioner has been
having hearings for nearly two weeks
The question is as to the deduction the
law allows in estimating the net in
come of the insurance companies. Those
companies that share profits with their
policy holders insist that there should
be deducted from the annual premium
due on policies the amount returned 10
the policy holders in the way of divi-
dends. The Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue is inclined to hold that this
deduction should not be allowed; that
the money due policy holder under a
profit-shartng arrangement is his own
property, and that when the insurance
company applies it toward the payment
Of his annual premium. instead of pay
ing 1t to the policy holder, the company's
actual receipts from the policy repre-
sents the premium as stated in the
policy, and that the whole sum should
be counted as part of the gross receipts
in making the return OF net income for
purposes OF taxation.
1t Is likely that II the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue rules against the
insurance companies an Injunction win
be sought to enjoin the collection
Of the tax and the matter VIII be carried
into the courts.

YOUTHFUL SOPRANO
SOON A FAYORITE
Tiny Maggie Teyte Takes
Role in MOzart's Opera.
By CHARLES HENRY MELrNER

By CHARLES HENRY MELTNER.
Philadelphia, Nov. AT the second
concert of the Philadelphia operatic sea-
son. which took place this afternoon.
Mozart's Marriage of Figaro served to
introduce the new Anglo-French soprano,
Maggie Teyte, in the pretty part of
Cherubino.
The Countess de Cast was Carolina
White, who sang the music OF THE Sc
crets of Susanna" in New York last
spring. Mario Sammarco lent his ex-
perience and fine voice to the interpreta-
ton OF Count Almaviva, and Gustave HUI
bertieau appeared as Figaro.
With the exception OF Trentini, once of
the Manhattan, the newcomer, Maggie
Teyte. is by far the tiniest singer ever
seen here in an important character. She
made a dainty but distinctly childish
figure when she came upon the stage, in
her trim pale blue pages costume.
She has grace and taste, but on the
other hand, she has, not the vfvacity or
brightness which have charmed US in
some other Cherubinos, and above all in
Miss Farrar's.
Her voice-a very light and pleasing
soprano-has been nicely trained by q
great teacher, Jean de Reszke.-' -..t -ts
It seems, however, less a natural voice
than a made voice; and, while II is both
flexible and delicate, 1t lacks color, be-
sides mellowness-which may come later,
as the years run on.
Nine. Teyte sang the familiar "Voi Che
Sapete," with much taste, and was ap-
plauded very warmly by the audience
not least warmly by her comrade, Mary
Garden, who, though far from well, at
tended the performance.

Don't beat those horses that way or
I'll have you arrested" Jenkins is alleged
10 have said.
Thereupon, it is declared, the negro
picked up a brick and hurled it at the
boys. head. Jenkins fell to the ground
while the negro got on his wagon and at
tempted to drive away.

rink in Prescott, Ariz. The Attorney

This was early in August, and in a
statement issued at the White House,
President Taft gave Mrs. MacLennan,
then Mrs. Gallagher, full credit for hav-
ing gathered the evidence and assisting
the government so materially in testing
the new law.
Mr.. MacLennan, the correspondent of a
New York newspaper. at that time inter
viewed Mrs. Gallagher in connection
with the uniform matter, meeting her
for the first time. Their marriage fol-
lowed three months later. Mrs. MacDen-
