New York, Aug. 4.-Charles M

the house committee of inquiry into
the steel corporation today. Mr..
Schwab recently returned from Europe
where he attended the international
conference Of steel manufacturers at
Brussels.
He was questioned first about the in
corporation Of the United States steel
corporation. Just prior to that he
said he was president of the Carnegie
Steel Co.
The chairman asked Schwab to tell
the whole story about Andrew Car
negie's desire to dispose OF his prop

]. p. Morgan and his part in the plans
which developed into the formation OF
the United States steel corporation.
Il am glad Of the opportunity" Mr..

"As soon as I met Mr.. Morgan he
asked me to go over again in detail
the suggestion made at the Univer-
sity club dinner. I talked with him on
the subject for several hours, expound-
ing my ideas of forming the organiza-
tion Of the steel manufacturers. Mr..
Morgan told me that he was convinced
OF the advantages Of such an organiza-
tion and he asked me If could &c: a

Mr. Carnegie, but about week Euer
I spent the day with Mr.. Carnegie and
when favorable opportunity pre-

mind and that Mr.. Morgan had re-
quested me to get price for his steel

view of his advanced age and his

ought to SELL told him thought that
we would be benefited by such sale.
Mr.. Carnegie received the proposition
with q great deal Of reluctance, but

be due to the suns action, in the fol.

Ing one side cause the ball to expand
to certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly in the shade,
does not expand to the same extent,
thus causing the ball gradually to
shift its position by turning.

all money that came his way, he hesi-
tated few brief seconds, weighed
everything in the balance, and quently

With his friendship outweighing the
longing for money, the young man
passed on his way, forgetting, as far
as he could, that there was such q
man as Vtrne H. Bostwick and. that
he was wanted for the alleged embez-
element Of $4,000. This, in brief, tells
how Bostwick, cashier of the Farmers
and Merchants bank of Culbertson,

left Grand Forks Tuesday night with
out the local authorities knowing any,

According to the friend" he can be
designated in no other way, Bostkick
was in Grand Forks Tuesday night for
a short while, leaving on one of the
evening trains for parts unknown.
Last summer the young man in
question was in Culbertson for some
little time. While there he met Verne
H. Bostwick, talked fifth him, enjoyed
automobile rides and other forms of
amusement with the bank cashier
Leaving Culbertson, he left behind him
his acquaintances, among them, Bost-
wick, never suspecting that he would
meet him in such short time under
such circumstances.

Minot Normal Appropriation Bill Con-
tains Clause.
Minot.-If the board of control of the
northern Dakota Normal schools can
select a site, there is nothing to pre-
vent work on the normal school builo-
ings being started as soon as the plans
are made and accepted.
This fact developed when it became
known in Minot that the Minot normal
school appropriation bill contains an
emergency clause by which the appro-
priation of s15o,0Oo is available imme-
diately. The rest of the 100000 is
available on Jan. /, 1918, when the
girls dormitory will be about COM
pleted.
This means that Minot can start at
work at once on the normal school
buildings. 1t was thought at first that
the $15O,000 was available July 1, wher
all the bills go into effect, unless they
contain emergency clauses, but the
normal appropriation is available at
once.
The expenditure Of $15O,O0O in Minot
this year will help out a good deal in
keeping people employed. 1t is prac-
tically certain that the 500 depot will
be constructed at cost Of 100000
this summer, so that there-will be great
activity here.

section Of. the state an elaborate ban
quet. The banquet, given In appre-
citation Of the success attendant upon
the efforts Of the legislators from this

attended by about 500 persons. Prac-

No Troops Into Mexico.

New York, March 13.-Jacob M.
Dickinson, secretary of war. will not
sail for Panama this afternoon on a
canal inspection trip as he had plan
ned to do, unexpected complications
having arisen in the pending negotia-
tions between the Panama Railroad
Co. and the steamship lines operating
for the government, which necessitated
his remaining in this city over till to-
morrow at the least
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
movement of United States troops
across the border and that interven.
tion was not being contemplated.

that it does not require that they shall

Many Corporations Objected to This
Feature Of Payne-AIdrich Tariff
Biil-Govsrnmsnt Will Not
Have TO Refund.

Washington, D. c.. March 13.-The
cirporation tax provisions Of the
Payne -Aldrich tariff act were SUSTAINED
today as constitutional by the supreme
court of the United States.
The fight against the constitutional
ity of the corporation tax began al
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law of 1909,
of which 1t is a part. During the long
days Of wrangling in congress over
that measure, President Taft origin
ated a plan to raise part of the rev.
enue necessary for the running Of the
government by imposing corpora
ton tax. He is said to have made the
first rough draft Of the proposed law
and to have asked the department of
justice to perfect it.
Scarcely fifteen years before, the su-
preme court of the United States had
declared unconstitutional the income
tax enacted by congress. In order to
have a valid tax, the errors of that
law had to be avoided. Finally the at
tention Of members Of the house and
senate were called to the proposed cor
poration tax as a constitutional meas
ure. It was urged as preferable to
another income tax. which, it was ar
gued, probably would be declared un-
! constitutional and as under the cir
cumstances better legislation than an
inheritance tax. When the tariff bill
inserted as an amendment to the
Payne bill passed by the house. They
! remained there and became part OF
the tariff act.
, The provisions of the law stated
, that the tax was Special excise
tax with respect to the carrying on OF
doing business" 1t was to be paiG
by "every corporation, joint stock com
pany or association organized for profit
and having capital stock represented
by shares, and every insurance com

upon the entire net income over ant
above $4,000 received from all source!
exclusive of amounts received as divi
dends upon stock of other corporations
joint stock companies or associations
or insurance companies, subject to tn,
tax"
The law provided also that returns
should be made by those taxed to th'
treasury department, to be used as /:
basis for assessing the tax. Thes'
were open to inspection, but in 1911
congress enacted legislation providing
that the returns should be open t,
inspection only upon rules and regu
lations approved by the president.
