Surprise Over Bixby Statement.
Surprise has been excited here by the
opinions attributed to Gen. w. H. Bixby,
chief Of the engineers in charge of the
work Of raising the Maine, who, upon his
arrival at Tampa, was quoted as saying
that he did not expect that the secret of
the Names destruction would be revealed
or that bodies would be recovered

belief is not fully justified In advance of
the exposure and examination OF the ships

GOMPERS DOESN'T Plan
TO OFFER AN APOLOGY
Labor Federation's Head Not
in Contrite Spirit Over Al
legged Contempt.

We will speak out-we will be heard,
Though all earth's systems crack:
We will not bate a single word,
Or take q letter back
Quoting this quatrain. which sticks
in his memory as applicable to his pre-
dicaments. Samuel Gompers. president
OF the American Federation Of Labor,
disposes OF the possibility of an apollo
gy from him to Justice Wright and
other members OF the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia. which is
about 20 hale him and other labor
leaders before 1t to answer to the
charge OF contempt.
Suggested Way Out.
The report Of the special committee
appointed by the court to investigate
the culpability Of Gompers John Mitch
ell and Frank Morrison in defying the
mandate Of the court in the Bucks Stove
and Range Injunction case, reported them
at fault, but intimated that they justi-
fed their course as actuated by the con-
right Of free speech: and that
perhaps they would be prepared to apollo
gie inasmuch as the Supreme Court OF
the United States, In it's ruling on ap-
peal. had denied the existence of that
right. as construed by the offending la
Dor leaders. 1t was a natural assump-
ton that apology would or should sat
isfy the dignity of the court, and make
a way out for the men held in contempt.
IF I were conscious Of offending child
I would abjectly apologize"
said Mr.. Gompers this morning. At the
same time he indicated beyond possibility
Of a doubt that he had no apology to
make to the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia

IMPOSED BY PROVISIONS
OF new TARIFF ACT
Argument Heard Today In
Supreme Court Of The
United States
tGTT
(By Assoclated Preaal

Washington, d. c. Jan. 17-Argu
ment in the suit instituted to test
the constitutionality Of the corpora
tion tax law, was heard in the United
States Supreme court today.
A woman began the fight on the
Constitutionality Of the corporation
tax imposed by provisions Of the
Payne-Aldrt2h tariff act OF 1909.
Even before the time, when the law
went in effect, Stella p Flint, as gen
eral guardian of the propcrtr Of
Samuel n Stone, Jr, minor ana
owner of stock in the Stone Tracy
company, doing a general merchan
disc business at Windsor, VT, start
ed proceedings to test the constitu-
tonaity of the law She protested
against the Stone Tracy company
making the return and paying the tax
because, she claimed that the law
was unconstitutional. The circuit
court of the United States for the dis
trict Of Vermont could not take that
view Of the law, and hence directed
that her petition be dismissed. She
appealed to the supreme court
More Test Suits Brought
The course pursued III the Vermont
case, was followed in seventeen other
suits brought in almost as many cir
cult courts In ALL the law was up
held, but with out extended consid-
Grafton The theory was that the SUI
preme court would conduct an inyes
tigation into the constitutionality
the law, and that the conclusions OF
the lower court would aid but little
while it would delay the final determ
nation
The major part Of these cases We're
argued before the supreme court last
March, but all were restored to the
docket fof re-argument before a full
bench.
The legal contest is centered large
ly over the consideration OF few
words in the extended provisions re-

lating to the tax. The words are
these.
The Alleged Joker"
That every corporation. joint stock
company or association organized for
Profit and having a capital stock
represented by shares, and every in
surance company shall be subject TO
pay annually q special excise tax with
respect to the carrying on or doing
business by such corporation, john
stock company or association, or in
surance company, equivalent to one
per ce ntum upon the entire net in
come over ana above $4,000 received
BY ii from all sources during such
YEAR exclusive Of amounts received
by it as dividends upon stock of otL
or corporations, joint stock companies
or associations, or insurance com
panies subject to the tax hereby im-
Eosed."
These words would bring $25000
900 annually into the federal treas
ury.
ConstitutionaIity of Law Attacked
The law was attacked in the first
argument before the court from va
rious points Of view. Maxwell Eyarts,
Of New York. laid stress on the point
that the law was unconstitutional be-
cause II invaded the sovereignty of
the state by laying burdens upon the
corporate franchise granted by a
state to a corporation. Former Sen
ator Foraker Of Ohio, contended tnal
despite the name given to the tax that
1t was corporation income tax
snch as were pronounced uncons-itu-
tional by the decisions Of the court
tftee nyears ago. Besides these two
conflicting arguments many others
have been advanced by the long list
OF counsel engaged in the various
cases
The government insisted that the
law was just what it said if was on
its face-an excise tax assessed upon
doing business rather than on
franchises 81 and not upon income,
but merely measured by income.
