cause of his loosing his mind,
which resulted in self destruction.
He had trouble over another
girl in the same neighborhood and
it is alleged by the brother that
his life was threatened in this in
stance by relatives of the girl.
At one time, just after he was
shot by the school teacher, he
fancied the Chronicle had done
him wrong in publishing the fact
and he wrote an anonymous letter
to the publisher directing that he
leave town or the plant would be
blown up.
There was no question but what
his mind was weak and he brood
ed over his girl troubles until he
lost it entirely.
Last Monday he called at the
Chronicle Office and paid his sub
scription and said that he was
going to Cootes Store, Va, to
visit relatives. He expected to
be gone several months, 50 he
stated, and wanted the paper sent
to that address. That evening he
purchased a ticket for Washington,
d. O., and boarded No. 6. on
which train he took his life as
above stated.
His brother, 5. ID. Whitmer,
left Tuesday evening for James
town to take charge Of the body.

Despondent, She
Kills Herself
Young G|endive Woman, Tired Of
Life, Sends a Bullet Through
Her Brain with 81 Automatic

Glendive, Sept. 27.-This COM
munity was shocked by tie tragic
suicide of Mrs. M. A. Gillies, a
comparatively young woman who
kept a confectionery and fruit
store on upper Merrill avenue.
Evidently as the result of q fit
of dependency, to which she was
more or less subject, Mrs. Gillies
repaired to her room above the
store, placed the muzzie of 32-
c4liber revolver in her mouth and
pulled the trigger. The bullet
penetrated the base of the brain,
causing instant death, and issued
from her neck.
The suicide occurred at As in
the afternoon. and the shot was
heard by q young woman who
worked in the store. She gave
the alarm, and within five minutes
Chief of Police G.. A. Kinney,
who also acts as Coroner, was on
the ground.
Relatives Of Mrs. Gillies in
Minneapolis were notified of her
death, ana her father, Mr.. Web
ber, and her sister, Mrs. Charles
Rankin, with the latter's husband
came to Glendive Immediately,
not knowing until their arrival
here the manner Of Mrs. GiIlies'
death.
The father and sister took the
body, after the inquest, back to
Minneapolis for burial. Mr.. Rank
in remained here to settle up the
affairs of the deceased.
Mrs. Gillies had lived in Glen
dive for number of years.
About four years ago she was de-
serted by her husband, a barber,
who has since not been heard from.
She had been very despondent at
times, and on other occasions, it
is said had attempted self-de-
struction, About a year ago she
took poison and was pronounced
dead, reviying while the under
taker was conveying the body to
the morgue. Billings Gazette.

Flint, guardian of the property of Samuel N. Stone, Jr., a stockholder in the Stone-Traey Company, of Windsor, Vt, began an action to have the company restrained from paying the tax. She claimed that the tax was unconstitutional. Her attorney, Maxwell Evarts, brought the case to the Supreme Court, after the circuit court had declined to hold the tax unconstitutional
 When the Stone-Tracy case came up for argument before the Supreme Court in March, 1910, fourteen other cases likewise raising the validity of the law and decisions likewise sustaining the constitutionality of the tax, had reached the court They were advanced and heard with the original case Because presumably of vacancies on the bench, the cases were restored to the docket for re- argument. This reargument occurred in January, 1911.
 The eonstitutiOnality of the tax was attaeked from all the noints from which any tax possible of en- actment by Congress could be attack ed. Prominent among the objections to the law was the argument that the tax was a direct tax, not ap- portioned, according to the eonstitu-

 WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13.- In the unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court, it is held that the corporation tax provisions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act were Con stitutional A decided controversy has been waged almost continually since President Taft first suggested its enactment to Congress. The de- cision will hasten the impending issue of the Panama Canal bonds. Had the decision been against the gov ernment, it would have been forced to issue bonds to refund the tax al ready paid by the corporations.
 The fight against the constitution ality of the tax began almost immed- lately after the enactment of the Payne -Aldrich tariff law of 1909, of which it 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 revenue necessary for the running of the government by imposing a cor poration tax. He is said to nave 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 Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the In- come Tax measure enacted by Con gress. In order to have a valid tax, the errors of that law had to be avoided. Finally the attention of members of the House and Senate were called to the proposed corpora tion tax as a constitutional measure. It was urged as preferable to an other income tax which, it was ar gued, probably would be declared un- constitutional and as under the cir feumstances better Legislation than an inheritance tax When the tariff bill was in the Senate, the corpora tion tax provisions were inserted as an amendment to the Payne bill passed by the House. They remain ed there and became part of the tariff act.
 The provisions of the law stated that the tax was Especial ex- else tax with respect to the carrying on or doing business" It was to be paid by "every corporation, joint stock company or association, organ ized for profit and having a capital stock represented by shares, and

 FL PASO, Tex, March 13-A band of insurreetos, under command of Captain Oscar Creighton, a Harvard graduate. including many Americans, is tonight in camp fifteen miles south of Juarez. The band has destroyed the railroad bridges to less than ten miles of the city. Creighton has left trail of burning railroad bridges extending a hundred miles to the south, and put an end to the hope of relieving Chihuahua by train. It is not thought probable he will at tack Juarez, but it is thought ne hopes to induce General Navarro to take the field with his 2,O0O men.
 Scores of Americans are appearing for enlistment at the insurrectO Junta headquarters here, despite the threat of the Diaz government to put to death all revolutionists captured.
 There is much concern over the fate of the fifteen Americans captured at the battle of Casas Grandes, and many seem convinced they have been shot.
