MASSACHUSETTS TAX WINS.
Business of Foreign Corporations Elk.
disable.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The Massa-
chusetts foreign corporation tax is
upheld as constitutional by the Su-
preme Court. Under this decision the
Commonwealth will be able to collect
many thousands of dollars as an ex-
else tax upon foreign corporations do
ing business in Massachusetts. Sew
eral foreign corporations contended
that the tax was an interference with
interstate commerce. The Common
wealth assumed the position that 1t
was merely taxing the right to do a
State business within the Common
wealth. Justice Day announced the
courts decision, Chief Justice White
and Justices Handkerchief and Pitney
dissented.
This decision upholds the foreign
corporation tax section of chapter 437
o fthe Acts of 1903. Foreign corpora
lions have been paying the tax, though
some have paid under protest, hoping
that the law would be found to be I'M
constitutional. Last year for the year
ending Nov. 80, 1912, the Massachu-
sets tax commissioner collected the
tax from 2049 corporations located in
other States. The total amount for
that year was $257,5S7, some of which
was paid under protest.

SPEAKS IN FAVOR
OF THOSE WHO DRINK
NINETY PER CENT OF "DRUNKs"
ARE TRUTHFUL.
Chief Probation officer of Massachu-
sets So Declares.

Chief Probation officer of Massaehu-
sets So Declares.
Boston.-Ninety per cent.-roughly
of all "drunks" are truthful, accord.
ing to Edwin Mulready, chief proba-
ton officer of Massachusetts, who ap-
peared before the commission investi-
eating drunkenness.
Out of his experience of more than
40 years, Mr.. Mulready declared that
$1,000 out of $4,000, whose cases have
been investigated by the probation
officers give their right names and
addresses and make no effort to deny
the facts concerning their cases.
Mr.. Mulready's testimony was in
terrupted by Judge Murray of the
Boston municipal court, chairman of
the investigating commission, to pro-
nounce this a very fair average, even
for sober men.
Mr.. Mulready, who has just re-
turned from the international congress
in Italy that investigated the drink
problem, told the commission that
there are about 100000 arrests in this
state annually for drunkenness.

SAYS CHILD LABOR LAW HELPS
$4,000
Children Under 16 Given Opportunity
to Attend School.

Boston.-That $1,000 children in
Massachusetts under 16 years old
were given the opportunity to leave
their arduous labors for long hours in
mills and factories and to return to
school, or at least to devote part of
their time to schooling, through the
provisions of the child labor law is
the declaration Of Richard X. Conant
of the Massachusetts child labor COM
mittee
The number of children under 16
who were at work for small wages
in Massachusetts, more than doubled
in the twelve years from 1889 to 1911,
said Mr.. Conant. They were engaged
in work that held out no hope for fu-
ture advancement and would bring in
not more than from 81 to ~ a week
when they grew up The law was
thus an absolute necessity II Massa-
chusetts was to maintain its place
among the States that protect their
children.

Statement of $751; 900 Fund.

Boston.-Another large batch OF eX-
pense statements, including more
than a hundred vouchers, have been
submitted to the public service com
mission by Chairman Howard Elliott
of the New Haven railroad. The ma
jority of the vouchers were those for
legitimate advertising expenses in 70
or more cities and towns throughout
New England All the Boston papers
are mentioned as the recipients OF va
rious sums of money from the New
Haven for advertisements.
The itemized statements are the
specific tabulations of the lump sum
of 1881 900, which amount was filed
nearly two months ago under the gen
eral heading of general expenses"
1t was this unaccounted-for sum of
money that drew forth the demand OF
Gov. Foss for a more specific render
ing of the accounts. In submitting
these vouchers Chairman Elliott Is
now complying with the request OF the

WOULD STUDY PRISONER
Chairman Randall Gives Chamber
Views on Some Useful Reforms.

Boston-The case of every man who
is sentenced to state prison should
be thoroughly investigated by a COM
mission before the cell door closes
behind him, is the opinion voiced by
Frank l.. Randall, the new chairman
Of the Massachuse prison commits
sion. He says the commission should
have power to recommend what &C
ton should be taken with the prisoner
and in this manner the good that re
mains in some men could be saved to
society, while society would also be
protected from the habitual criminal.
In discussing prison conditions,
Chairman Randall said: I'VE now
have a prison system which is not a
shame to us, but which is not what
it might be. The main thing which is
left out in considering those who have
violated the law is that they are in
fericr people, inferior people, infer
ior through want of good parents,
schooling, Industrial training or re-
ligious instruction. If, when a crime.
is committed, matters may be so reg
ulated that the person may never COM
nit another, then you will have done
everything that can be done in Gu
rative way"

HEAVY LOSS ON POTATOES
Damage by Rain and Cold in Maine
Estimated at More Than 100000.

Bangor, Me.-Three weeks OF rain
in October, followed by freezing
weather, have cost the farmers of
Maine dearly, for all harvests of field
crops were delayed. while the fields
were turned into swamps, and when
the rain ceased the cold wave came
and so hardened the ground that dig
ging by the usual methods was impos-
sible. In Aroostook County, Penob-
scot and all through central, eastern
and northern Maine thousands of
acres of potatoes remain in the
ground, and in many cases it is cost
ing almost as much to dig the crops
as the yield is worth. The extent of
the loss cannot yet be told, but soma
estimates place it at more than
100000 and others say that $1,000
900 would not cover the damage.

superior court here and were SEN

der the circumstance being unparal-
leled in the criminal jurisprudence in
Connecticut.
The woman, Bessie j. Wakefield,
who aided James Plew her lover, in
putting her husband, William Wake
field, out of the way, is the first wo-
man to be convicted of murder in the
first degree since the state has had
a constitution. Plew, self-confessed
murderer, had his degree of guilt fixed
by Judge L. F. Burpee, under the stat
ute of 1912. The court said that af
ter examination of witnesses it could
find no extenuating circumstances
which would lead to the fixing of
lesser degree of guilt than that of
premeditated murder.
The third prisoner sentenced to die
was Joseph Bergeron, alias Beger,
who shot and killed Mrs. Elizabeth
Dousette, with whom he had lived for
a time in Chicago. He also had
pleaded to homicide, under the ancient
statute and his was the first case on
record where the court examined the
witnesses to ascertain the details of
the crime.

MODE OF TAKING
FOREST LAND
Reformation to Help Conserva.
ton
BAY STATE COMMISSION
Will Have Report Ready in Short
Time-Present System Puts
Premium on Premature
Cutting.

Boston.-The Massachusetts commits.
sion for the taxation of wild and forest
lands has already in two months time
made great progress in their work of
investigating present conditions and
in drafting plan for the future. State
Tax Commissioner w. d. T. Trefry,
the chairman, and the other four men,
bers of the commission-State Forest
er Frank w. Rane, Prof Charles J.
Bullock of Harvard University, Harold
Parker of Lancaster and Charles II.
Preston of Danvers-have been busy
since Sept l, and it is expected that in
a comparatively short time the results
of the work will be made public.
The need for change in the system
of taxation for forest and wild lands
is apparent to all students of the mat
ter. Under the present law the an.
nual growth of trees is severely taxed.
There are few if any trees which can
be used even by the box makers until
they are Is or 20 years old, and they
do not begin to come into their prime
before the age of 60.
The case is well eXemplified by con-
ditions in large private forest that
is under scientific management. In
one year all the wood that was cut in
this forest-which was all that should
have been cut for the best results of
the forest as a whole-netted a re-
turn of $4,000. Under the present law
the annual tax on the forest was $1100
or over half as great as the gross in
come.
1t is a we'll known fact of forestry
that tree grows one ring of wood
each year. In small tree this ring
is, of course, inconsiderable. On
tree 60 years old and 80 feet high it
begins to amount to good many feet
of excellent timber. But the present
law discourages the raising of large
forests and taxes the forest owners
into cutting down their trees while
still young.
1t is only within the last 10 years
that the state of affairs has been at
all realized. In 1906 commission was
finally called together, of which
Chairman Trefry of the present COM
mission was a member. It made an
exhaustive study. of conditions and of
the unfairness of the present method
of taxing forest and wild lands, but
public opinion was not yet back of it.
and all it's work came to nothing.
1t was also found that there was
little hope of any legislation on the
subject that would not be declared
unconstitutional. A constitutional
amendment was finally drawn up in
1911 on the recommendation of Gov.
Foss and his council. The present
commission was accordingly named
by Gov. Foss with the advice of his
council.
The commission has been greatly
helped by the work of the commission
of 1906 The investigation of the lat
ter was so exhaustive that its findings
could be taken over completely by
the present body. Blanks have also
been sent by the new commission to
all the town assessors in the state,
with inquiries on them relative to the
wild and forest land taxable under
each assessors jurisdiction.

Scallop Fishing Good.

Nantucket-Nantucket opened it's
scallop season with prospects for a
harvest even richer than last year,
when the scallops brought more than
$4,000 into town. Instead of start
ing to dredge on Oct. l, as permitted
by law, the fishermen agreed to wait
another month, and now feel that il
was a wise action for, while other
places are reporting scarcity of
scallops, Nantucket's beds are most
prolific in all sections.

CANNOT BRING BACK ABDUCToR
ELLIS.
Technically Will Prevent His Extra
dition.

Boston-It is because the Japanese
definition of perjury differs from that
of the United States that John Ellis,
the former clergyman wanted here for
the abduction of his 5-year-old daugh-
ter olga, cannot be extradited to Am
erica.
Ellis is accused Of having made a
perjured statement in regard to his
wife's insanity before an extra-judicial
attorney. The Japanese law provides
that perjury cal consist only in giving
false testimony in judicial proceed
ings. Ellis extradition was sought on
the ground of perjury because abduc-
ton is not an extraditable offence
here.

ness of aspect, in one direction or
another, for which he will assuredly
be wholly unprepared. Need it be
said that this of itself is paramount
as an attraction?
Almost unlimited is the list of char
acteristic features for any one Of
which the country is worth visiting;
and each in its way is so important
that priority of mention must be en-
tirely fortuitous. Before descending
from the general to the particular one
may attempt a summary of these as
follows, but with the premise that
they might be given in any other
order:
The climate is the most wonderful
in Europe. A polyglot crowd Of
scores of thousands flies annually to
the Riviera from every part in Eu-
rope in order to enjoy the supposed
maximum of sunshine, but often to
be undeceived by weeping skies, and
with the cruel mistral as a certain
ty. At Lisbon, on the other hand,
cold weather as understooS elsewhere
is literally unknown; the temperature
is not only higher than that of the
Riviera, but is equable to a degree
that almost ,defes itself. What this.
means in practical effect is illustrat-
ed by the fact that, in March last, I
met an English lady on board ship
who had stayed six weeks at Mont
'Estoril, near Lisbon, and had bathed
in the sea every day in February!
Nor was the season exceptionally
warm.

PERFORMS RARE OPERATION.
Skin Grated from Calf of Leg to
Wound on Foot.

Cambridge, Mass.-Surgeon declare
that DR.. George V. Buehller of the
Cambridge Relief Hospital has per-
formed one of the most remarkable
feats in skin grating ever attempted,
in an operation upon Harry Parker,
%, of South Boston, by which skin
from the calf of the patients left leg
was grated over a wound on the right
foot.
In order to keep the skin alive, it
was necessary that it should not be
wholly removed from the calf. A strip
was cut from the back of the calf
about six inches long and three inches
wide, one end being connected to the
leg so that the skin formed a flap
that could be wrapped about the in
jured foot.
