BUSINESS FELL OFF.
Corporate Net Earnings for 1911 Show
Considerable Decrease.

Washington, May 20.-Corporate
earnings in the United States decreas-
ed SITS, 100000 in 1911. That figure
represents the comparative loss in net
earnings as reported to Royal 2. Ca
bell, commissioner of internal revenue,
for making assessment under the cor
poration excise tax law.
In statement Mr.. Cabell says the
returns indicate poorer business con-
ditions last year than in 1910, parti-
cularly in iron, steel and certain man
ufacturing industries.
The gross receipts of corporations
did not suffer as great a ratio of de-
crease as the net. The returns indi-
that this was because labor and sup
ply men shared more largely in the
receipts of the companies in 1911 than
in 1910. This was particularly so in
generally to have paid increased
amounts for labor without a CORES
ponding increase in income being in
dicated in many cases an actual de-
crease in income being shown.
The 1 per cent assessment on the
1911 net earnings of corporations will
turn into the federal treasury about
$2S,27S, 1000, most of which will be
paid in June, against $29,432,000 last
year, a decrease of $1,154,000. The
somewhat before the close of the fis-
cal year, Mr.. Cabell says bringing
the decrease below $1,000,000. Con-
sidering business conditions in 1911,
this may be considered fairly satisfac-
tory.
While there was a big loss in the
aggregate net earnings, there was an
increase of 1850 in the number of
corporations. The number in 1911 was
2S7,S62, as compared with 27O,20 in
1910. OF the total number which
filed returns. only 20 per cent were
found liable to tax.
The manufacturing conditions were
reflected in the returns from Connec-
ticut and Massachusetts,. In the for
mer state the net proceeds decreased
S6,1O9,0O0 and in the latter $11,332,-
900.
The assessments for Hawaii, the
commissioner remarks, indicate an ex-
tremely prosperous condition in the
islands, the net earnings of the cor
porations increasing s4,274, 900.

Philadelphia, May 20.-With the ar
rival of here Frank J. Navin, president
of the Detroit club. further develop
ments are expected today in the extra
ordinary baseball situation brought
about by the strike of the American
League team. Ban Johnson, president
American League, is here. The game
scheduled for today between Phifadel-
phia and Detroit has been postponed
by agreement and if there is no settle
ment the game scheduled between the
Tigers and washington in the ma

another time.
If there is no settlement of the trou-

will be taken according to Mr.. Johnson
to put a new team in the field to rep
resent Detroit. The team, Johnson says
will be a good one. but he declines to
say from what source the players will be
drawn. 1t is probable, however, at the
special meeting of the American
League called for tomorrow in this
city, each of the club owners will help
Mr.. Navin to put together a new team.

Roosevelt Serves Notice.
Cambridge, o., May 20.-Col Roose-
welt served notice today that he would
resist any compromise at the Repub-
Iican national convention.
There can be no compromise he
said here. Some of our opponents
are saying that neither Mr.. Taft nor
should be nominated. I'll name the
compromise candidate. He will be me.
Continuing, Col. Roosevelt said: II
want to call your attention to some
thing that has amused me a. good
deal. In the GAINESVILLE TimeS-Re-
cOrder there appears this advertise
ment, signed by Messrs. Ransbottom
and Dana, the Taft candidates for
delegates:
IF you believe in the nomination
of a dark horse in order to take the
load of personal controversy off the
party and give it a clear road to vic
tory we can and will be glad to serve
you.
mo Roosevelt delegate is saying
anything like that anywhere. The
other day a certain gentleman, rep
resenting one of the great financial
interests that is supporting Mr.. Taft
and himself supporter of Mr.. Taft,
although personally on perfectly
pleasant terms with me, came to me
and said just about what these two
Taft delegates here said. He said:
WI KNOW IdII can D0 uOII1lIdI-
ed and we want to know if you won t
consent to a compromise candidate
and a compromise PLATFORM
Il said:
He VIII Be Me.
Now 1 will tell you. 1 will name
the compromise candidate. He will be
me. I stand for myself as the origi-
nal candidate and as the compromise
candidate.
And as for the platform, we will
accept a compromise by taking the
whole PLATFORM
''Then 1 went on to tell him what
he and these Taft delegates don't un-
derstand. I said if this was an ordi-
nary factional fight between mere fac
tions a compromise would be all right.
BIZ this is not an ordinary faction.
al fight This is a conflict bewteen the
voters who make up at least so or 80
per cent of the Republican party on
the one side and on the other side the
men who have assumed to boss the
Republican party without reference to
the wishes of the majority OF the vot-
ers.
When the two forces are of that
stamp there can be no compromise.
am not surprised at the statement of
these two Taft delegates that they are
delighted to abandon Mr.. Taft and take
dark horse if they car get any votes
by it. Take the country as whole and
the men behind Mr.. Taft don't care
rap for him; they would take any
man if they could beat me-

Women's Colleges.
From the Boston Herald.

The movement for the higher education
of women is younger than the city or
Chicago. When Mary Lyon with splendid
audacity set out to take the education OF
women out OF the fed of private business
ventures and secure for IL the same per-
manent provision that 200 years had sup
piled for the training OF men she sailed
forth upon an uncharted sea. She begged
money from the common people and her
green velvet money bag became Q fa-
miliar sight. Denied endowment by the
legislature. by sheer force OF personal
ity and conviction she built up the ia
nous school for which at last she secured
Incorporation.
The celebration of the seventy-fifth an
niyersary of the founding of Mount Hol-
yoke Seminary suggests the fad that
the struggle for more advanced intel
lectual training for American women
was started and carried forward to sue
cess by the women themselves In Eu-
rope the movement was not SO uniform
as here. but its history was very like
that OF the American enterprise. Before
Mary Lyon showed the way and set be-
fore the country her ideal there were
