CALIFORNIA LOSES ON
TAX RULING OF COURT

San TranclSco-In the recent decision OF
the supreme court in the corporation tax
case the state of California is confront
ed with a deficit of $4,000 in its budget.
says the Examiner.
Through the ruling of the court in the
case OF milford against Curry no cor
poration or company transacting an inter-
state business can hereafter be compelled
to pay an annual fee to the California
authorities.
The deficit has not yet come officially
before the state board of equalization. IL
this loss of revenue is to be permanent,
the board can and must act between now
and the first Monday in September 1t is
charged with the duty of making UP amy
deficit from any cause In each hiefnai
budget OF the legislature.
Attorney General Webb said that after
n review of the decision he could Gully sce
one course to pursue and that was To ask
for IA rehcarng. He was not prepared to
speak publicly as to the grounds on winch
u petition for a rehearing would be asked.
The court held that the California law
clearly violated the fourteenth amendment
10 the federal constitution. The United
States reserves to itself the power to reg
,llate commerce between the states. 1t
considers the field solely IT'S own. The
state supreme court therefore decided that
In levyins any fee or tax on a company
MERGE California was enyoving a prov
ince 1t had no right to do and must re-
tire
The decision is most interesting one
said Attorney General Webb, and al
the state can do now is to ask for re-
hearing. If that is denied. the loss of the
revenue from these fees will be perna-
nent. The tax was never legally fought
until this case arose while Charles Curry
was secretary of state. He demanded a
fee from a corporation which desired to
enter California. 1t refused to pay tho
fec and the court upheld the legality of
Its action
The income from this source for each
biennial budget for some. years past has
amounted In the aggregate to about $500
pO0. We have Just entered upon the last
year of the present Legislative budget.
So, under the decision. the state Is los
ing 100000 of the revenue it counted up
on The state board of equalization is en-
powered to make up any deficit 1t will
do so in this case. 1t has between now

From the Wide Morl,i Magazine.
In shape the Dead sea resembles AN

about ~ miles wide at its greatest
breadth. one of the most re1n;irk;able
facts about it is that its surface lies
800 feet below that of the Mclllter-

Shakespeare as an Actor
'rander Matthews. in North America

Rev leW.
II was probably in 1898 that Shake

the elder knoWell, and ii was probably
in 1902 that he rersonated The Ghost

main on the stage 10 or II years long

that the PARTS he played in later life
We're any more Important We do not
lnow what characters he undertook ia
the plays which he wrote after Ham
let; nor do we know what parts he
assumed in tho many pieces by other
authors which made up the rcpertory
of the company That he continued to
act We need not doubt. for instance, he
WIS one of the performers in Ben JON
sons "Setanus.' probably produced in
1902 or 1903. But the absence Of spe-
ritic information on this point is evil
dence that he did not impress himself
upon his contemporaries as an actor OF
power. AS i.ewes declared, the mere
fact that we hear nothing of his quail
ties as an actor implies that there was
nothing above the l!ne, nothing memo
rahlc to be spoken of The parts
which we believe him to have played
did not demand ar ;ldMi, various ex-
cellencins" Shakespeare niay have had
lofty histrionic ambitions, but probably
he WIS not allowed TO crafty his long

or aint that he ever failed in wha; he

CONFERENCE OF METHODISTS OPENS
SeventySecond Annual Session Provdence-Prelminary Work Carried During First Day-Bishop Anderson Will Preside.

The examination of candidates for admission to the T2d annual session of the New England Southern confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal church, which opened publicly Tues day evening at the Trinity Union church, Trinity square, Providence, was held at the church during the day. A class of nearly dozen from the vari- ous orders presented themselves at 10 o'clock and until the middle of the aft elnoon were examined as to their fit ness for advancement.
 These examinations, while prelimin- ary to the conference itself. are the first actual work of the annual session. The clergymen connected with the three districts constituting the New England Southern Conference began assembling Monday. The majority of these clergymen are members of the standing committees.
 From almost evry point of view the session this year will be one of the most interesting and important that has been held by the conference in several years. The programme for public services, to be held each after noon and evening, following the con- ference business of the fOrenoons, is more diversified than usual and will introduce several or the l6aQlng men of the denomination from all parts of the country.
 This will be the 18th time that Prov idence has entertained the annual con- ference.
 Today was a busy period for the various local and conference commit tees. as well as those who are to en- ter$ain the members of the conference during the session, in making final preparations Rev. William F. Ander son, D. D., of Chattanooga, Tenn, the presiding bishop, arrived Tuesday aft ernoon, as did Rev. Andrew J. C0ul- tas, D. D., superintendent of the New Bedford district. and Rev. John H. Newland. superintendent of the Nor witch district. These, with Rev. Will liam L. Ward, superintendent of the Providence district, will have charge of the business session this morn ing.
 Several innovations will be seen this year by those. who have been in at tendance at the annual conferences of

COURT QUINEBAUG
 HOLDS A SMOKER.
Pleasing Programme We'll Carried Out
 With Two Addresses.

Court Quinebaug, No. 12S, Foresters of America, had an attendance of 100 members of the order for a smoker on Tuesday night in Foresters hall, fur nishing a varied programme that made an entertaining evening for the initiat- ed, as the attendance was limited to members of the order. The evening opened with a regular business meet ing, after which the smoker committee took charge and won the commenda- ton of the Foresters for the pleasant evening they provided. The committee consisted of Edward A, Pratt, chair man, James Mccarthy, Louis J, Lynch, Patrick Brennan and Harry Thorpe,
 Chairman Pratt introduced Dr. J. J. Donohue, court physician, as chairman for the evening, a post which the doc tor filled with his characteristic abil- ity, making a brief address in which he paid a tribute to the late Dr. F. H. Hartman, physician for Court City of Norwich since its institution. Dr. Don ohue also referred to the great record which the three courts of Foresters had made in eKpending a total of be- tween $40,000 and S5O,000 in this city in sick and other benefits, making a convincing proof of their strength and stability.
 The entertainment programme went on with the following numbers, which were finely given and liberally ap- plauded: Baritone solo, If I Forget, Horace Corning; baritone solo, Every bOdy's Doing It, Eugene Calkins; tenor solo, Heart of My Heart Matt Ben nett; duet, Every Night is Summer, Matt Bennett and Eugene Calkins 1; recitation, Murphy Shall Not Sing To- night, Daniel Samuels; song, She Couldn't Keep Away from the Ten Cent Store. James Kane; hard shoe dancing, Edward Malcolm; monologue, James Kane.
 Votes of thanks to the talent who appeared were passed and especially to the Breed theater management, who contributed their singers to the enter taining programme.
 Frank J, Murtha, a past chief ranger of Court City of Norwich, was listened to with interest when called upon for a few words, as he referred to the strong financial condition of the courts which have in their combined treas uries the sum of s12,000 and are well able to support the obligations they assume towards their membership making them a highly desirable organ izatiOn in which to have membership and he urged an active campaign for new blood in the courts.
 Others to perform acceptably durins the evening were Raymond O'Neil in the tenor solo The Hat That Daddy Wore, and Charles Carberry in hard shoe dancing. Cigars and sandwiches were passed by the committee, who saw that the wants of the inner man were fully satisfied.

CHOLERA SCARE

Much anxiety has been felt lately over the danger of introducing the dreaded Asiatic Cholera into this country because of the immigration from the plague districts of Europe.
 It saps the strength of the body so fast that death often follows in a few hours. All forms of diarThea and dysenteFy are very weakening.
 A Valdosta, Ga, woman, Mrs. c. H. King, tells how she regained her strength. She says: An attack of dysentery left me so weak and ex- hausted that it seemed impossible to regain my strength. But since us- ing one bottle of Vinol 1 am perfectly well again. Vinol will do wonders for anyone who needs new strength and more flesh"
 There is no aubt at all that this delicious cod liver and iron remedy without oil possesses wonderful pow CT to renew Tagging strength and vitality, and build up the body. If you are not as strong as you ought to be you need Vinol, and we guarantee that it will build you up and make you strong. BroadWay Pharmacy, G. G, Easler, NeAasioh, CeRa
