Law That Brought in

RIGHT OF STATES
To Control of Own Corpora
tons was Chief Ques-
ton Involved.

Washington, d. C.-Bulletin.-
The United States supreme court to.
day, in a decision written by Justice
Day, defeats the attempts made by
the corporations of the country to
have this statute declared unconstitu-
tional.
The corporation tax was made a
part of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act
and was proposed by the president in
stead of an income tax law, which
many advocated for the tariff bill,
This law laid a tax of one per cent
upon all net income by corporations
doing business anywhere in the Unit
ed States, with an exemption of S.
900.
The law makes no discrimination
between purely local corporations
and those doing an interstate bust
ness, and 1t was claimed that it was
not within the power of the federal
government to tax corporations doing
an intra-state business. The tax was
levied as an excise tax, and as such
the supreme court today upholds its
constitutionality.

ed. There are only four survivors, all
injured, three of them probably fatal
ly crushed.
The dead are mostly Finlanders
and Austrians, several of them leav-
ing large families.
The miners, who were taking UP
one of the two tracks in the pit in
order to permit the steam shovel to
work in another section of the mine,
were for the most part bent over
bars and claws when the avalanche
swept them into eternity.
Behind and before the pit were
thousands of tons Of ore, rock, snow
and ice, and the rapid warming of
the atmosphere released them upon
the toiling miners.

OBITUARY.

Miss Lena r. Campbell was born
in Rockford, S. D., Nov. IL, 1885,
and lived there until the age of 16,
when she came with her parents to
Sanborn county South Dakota, where,
not being strong, she stayed at home
and took care of the younger child
rem, while her mother attended the
sick in that vicinity as a nurse.
In 1897 the family moved to Nit
chell where she has since lived.
Lena was of a quiet disposition, al
ways attended the home duties and
kind to all sick or afflicted and was
happy when she could take a little
token of remembrance to those that
were afflicted.
There were short but impressive
services conducted by Rev. Hoagland
at the home on Main street, where
her friends gathered to pay the last
takens of respect to one loved by all
who knew her.
Two sacred solos were rendered by
Mrs. Samuel Weir that touched a
sympathetic chord. There were
some beautiful floral offerings sent
by friends, which spoke the kindly
feeling for the deceased.
Thus passes from this life a kind
Christian soul into the arms of her
master to reap the reward she has
SO rightfully earned.
She leaves to mourn her death a
mother who is nov sick, two sisters,
Mrs. Louie Strong and Mrs. Daisy
Campbell, both Of Mitchell; Frank
Campbell of Sioux City who attend
ed the funeral and Rev. Fred Camp
bell. Of Rochester N. Y, who was un-
able to be present Thursday.
On Wednesday morning, March 8.
at 5:45. Miss Campbell passed peace
fully away.

I'VE have not the slightest fear in
respect to the alleged purpose of the
government Of the United States to
intervene in the, present struggle in
Mexico. In the first place this gov.
eminent knows full we'll that a vast
majority of the Mexican people are
unalterably opposed to q. further con-
tinuance of the Diaz regime and the
system" which it represents. We
have absolute faith that the United
States under no circumstances wou4,
intervene to prevent this vast major
ity from executing its popular will.
eff there exists any menace to life
and property. that menace has been
created by Gen. Diaz himself, for as
everyone knows the revolutionary
party has taken particular pains to
protect all non-combatants, particu-
larly foreigners, and their property.
They have gone so far as to pay In

Mobile, Ala.-Alleging that j. p.
Morgan and Wall Street ordered
President Taft to send troops to
Mexico and that Taft is simply an
"errand boy of the interests"
Eugene v. Debs today denounced the
proposed Intervention in Mexico.
There are billions of American
dollars invested in Mexico said Debs

street. In the American owned
mines there are employed thousands
of poems who are forced to exc out
a living on starvation wages. These
poems have stood Diaz and his assas-
sins. Now they are rebelling and
Wall street has ordered Taft to send
10000 soldiers to the front to intimi-
date and put down the instruction.
Diaz is one of the vilest despots of
the world. He has $4,000 rurales
and hired assasins to kill or other
wise subject the poems who have re-
belled.

DIAZ SOLDIERS TO SHOOT
ALL MAURAUDERS ON SIGHT
Mexico City, Internationally
aroused by the spread Of brigandage
and vandalism incident to the revolu-
ton led by Francisco l. MaderO, and
determined to protect property, the
Diaz government this week will be-
gin to wage against the lawless ele-
ment a pitiless war of determination.
Restricting a provision of the
Mexican constitution not used. in If
teen years, and acting under it's au-
thorization, the government will set
aside for six months certain person
al guarantees. Those detected in the
act OF highway robbery, Of raiding a
village farm, or train wrecking of
cutting telegraph or telephone wires,
or even Of removing a spike from a
railroad track, or throwing a stone at
a train will be summarily shot by
those making the arrest.
The bill providing for this drastic
measure WIS sem to the permanent
commission of the federal congress. 1t
was signed by Miguel Macedo, subsec-
rotary of the department of the inter-
Tor, and clearly states that its enact
ment is the wish of the president. The
members of the commission unani-
mously approved the measure, but
under the law it is necessary that the
bill come up for a second reading.

Excuse for American
Action Seen in Latest
Mexican Orders.
WOUNDED KILLED
Insurgents will Retaliate with
Same Treatment of the
Federal Soldiers.

Washington, d. C.-The action of
the Diaz government in declaring
martial law and giving the federal
soldiers orders to execute the insur-
gents when caught, is expected to re-
suit in reprisals on the part Of the in.
surgents, leading to Intervention by
the United States. Diaz is desperate,
as shown by this action. General
Wood is expected to go to San Anto-
MO in a few days, when the move
ment of troops to Mexico is expected.
Insurgents Follow Suit.
Ell Paso, Texas.-The order by Diaz
to show no quarter to the insurgents,
will lead to the issuance of a similar
order by Madero, and both sides will
now kill without trial or mercy. The
wounded insurgents at the battle of
Casa Grandes were killed by the
Diaz soldiers where they lay.
Soldiers Under Guard,
Galveston, Texas.-All soldiers are
being kept in camp today and partial
martial law has been declared, while
a provost guard patrols the city
streets, as a result of last nights
riots.
San Diego, calif.-The army and
navy mobilization is complete here
and General Bliss is expected to re-
move his headquarters to Tia Juna,
the border. The marines are
expected to land from the cruisers
at Magdalena Bay. Gunboats are pa
trolling the coast and a campaign
may follow in lower California.

TESTING AN OCTOPUS.


Much ovsrratsd.
There have been made abroad ex-
periments with an octopus, in a spe-
ciafly devised tank Of sen water. In
order to test Tie truth Of the many
stories told of monster eephaionods
dragging human victims to the sea
bottom, says HaRper's Weekly.
IN the tank with he octopua there
was placed q dummy" Of the same
specific gravity as a man. and this WAS
bsised with a crab. Attracted by this
tempting morsel, the octopus made for
the figure. seized It la Its powerful
arms and tried to drag it under wa
ter without IT then urged its
body toward the edge of the tank, and.
holding the glass with some OF its
arms. It dragged ;ts prey beneath the
surface and crushed the crab shell
with Its powerful jaws.
1t Ia believed that these experiments
afford proof that the octopus can only
drag it's victims far below the water
near rocks to which 1t can attach its
suckers. There is one spot In the bay
Of Naples where these creatures attain
a large size. and now and then q fisher
man Is reported missing. 1t is thought
that such disappearance are due to
the unfortunate man being caught by
the leg by a concealed octopus and
dragged under water. In the case OF
such a repulsive and powerful creature
as the octopus Ii Is dif1cu1t to separate
fact from fiction.
