The income or excise tax levied by the general government on corpora tions is payable by the 30th of this month, and Collector Eaton has given notice as follows of the necessity of having the money in the hands of the government for deposit at the latest on the 30th, and that mailing the checks that day is not sufficient. The following is the formal notifications: In the district of Connecticut, which includes the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island, there are about 1,500 corporations subject to tax. To date about 40 per cent. have paid up The law gives all corporations until June 30 to pay the tax. Acting under an erroneous impression, some corpora tions last year delayed mailing their remttances until June 30, and they were received on the following day, or July !.
 The commissioner has held that all payments of taxes should be made in time to be deposited on June 30 in the United States Repositories, either the Hartford, New Haven or Providence offices.
 All corporations subject to the tax are requested to give this matter their careful consideration and be prepared to mail their remittances in time to be deposited on or before June 30, 1e11

 While in Ireland the party had T talk with Richard Croker, the former Tammany leader, who now has & large estate on the Emerald Isle. The Bridgeporters were passing the Croker' estate when they saw the great poli- tfcian going by in his machine They entered the grounds and when Croker approached they told him they were from the United States and had come to pay their respects.
 Croker showed them his horses and in the course of the conversation said reformers were killing this country. He remarked: Saratoga Is not what it was. Horse racing is killed all over the country Many men of wealth in the United States are making their homes in England, and proba bly some of them will come to Ireland to settle down. Now. I love horse racing. It is impossible for me or any one like me to have a stable in the United States
 Ireland offers more freedom in many ways than can be found in the United States. If the rich men of the Union knew conditions here they would settle in Ireland rather than 1T, England, I think"

LOW WESTERN RATES FOR
 MANY INTERESTING OCCASIONS

The Lehigh Valley Railroad an- nounces a number of extremely low round trip rates to many western points during the summer season. Of the most important are Niagara Falls excursions over Independence and La- bor Days and the phenomenally low round trip fares to the Pacific Coast, ranging from SSs.00 to s105.80 &C., cording to dates of selling. Of thess tickets an infinite variety of diverse routes is offered, including Colorado, the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Petri-, fled Forest of Southern California. Yellowstone National Park, the Great Lakes, Canadian Rockies etc.
 Equally of interest to many will be the reduced rates to Rochester, ac- count of the National Encampment Grand Army of the Republica and convention of Mystic Shrine in Ro- chester; also to Detroit, account of Knights of Columbus and Loyal Order of Moose.

Scientific Teaching Greatest Problem
 For Yale Now

New Haven, June 2e-The increased expense of scientific teaching Presa- dent Hadley today characterized as the most difficult financial problem which Yale must face in the immed- fate future.

Mildred Bridges, Who is Clinging So Blindly'to the Author of, AbsolutesLife, Does Not Notice Her Wealthy Father in Court Room.
fsneciaI fronn, Irnited PressA

Especial from United PreSS.) Chicago, June 2o-A bitter attack on Stephen H. Bridges, wealthy father of Mildred Bridges, 1T, toward whose de- linquency Evelyn Arthur See is on trial for contributing, featured the opening address of Robert E. Cantwell, Sees attorney, when the trial opened yesterday.
 The courtroom was damned, large proportion of the audience being handsomely gowned women, of whom some are said to be followers of See.
 Bridges pretty child, who is cling ing SO, blindly to the reyealer, sat re- mote from her father, nor would she gaze at him, though he has offered to make her independently rich if she will turn against her teacher and tell of the practices that went on within the portals of the temple.
 '.We will show said Attorney Cantwell, "that the teachings of the absolute life are pure. This girl heard evil words within her home and de- cided to join this cult. We will show, also, that Bridges said: I raided Sees apartment and I will spend every penny I own and consider my life We will show that Mildred Bridges was in the House of the Lord with the full consent of her, father as well as her mother.
 "'Absolute LIfe' as revealed by See is but a step in the evolution that has been prophesied by great men of old, and it was needed! to preserve the laws of God and man.
 "We will show that Bridges wrote a letter to his daughter in which he said he would spend his entire fortune to ruin See. He also said if the H. linois courts did not send See where he could ruin no more homes he would take the responsibility and the conse- quences himself"
 Cantwell bitterly assailed the news paper men who are covering the trial.
 Stephen Bridges was the first wit ness for the State.
