liner Goes Down
Denver Sunk in MidOcean and
All Were Saved.
Cause UnknOWn-Stea Was
Carrying Evelyn Crew.

New York, March 24.-The Mallory
liner Denver sunk in midocean yes
terday. Her crew and passengers were
all rescued. Wireless again proved the
agent of succor.
The cause of the sinking is not yet
known. A nixup in transmission of
wireless signals caused officials of the
Mallory line to believe that it was be-
cause of a collision. The original mes
sage from the White Star liner Megan-
tic spoke of rescue of the crew of the
-1'AViland." This was believed by Of
ficials here to indicate that the Den
Yer had been in collision with such a
vessel. But no shipping list carries an
fEAviland."
Later, White Star officials figured
out this was in error Evelyn" 1t was
known that the Denver was bringing
back to the United States the captain
and crew of the American steamer
Evelyn, destroyed by mine off the
Holland coast February 20.
The message from the Megantic was
then held to indicate clearly that the
crew of the Evelyn, including Captain
Smith. had again been rescued, this
offer no explanation for the sinking
of the Mallory liner
A further message to the Megantic
cleared up the earlier confusion in re-
gard to the accident, but still failed
to give any explanation of why the
Denver should have suddenly found
herself sinking. This message gave
details regarding Captain Smith and
his crew on the Megantic and said
that So other survivors of the Denver
were aboard the Manhattan.

tion of the German sea captains, both
on the Odenwald and at American
ports, are being guided at present by
someone in this country.
This theory was based to some eX-
tent on the fact that whenever there
has been an unusual display of activ-
ity at some particular point, the eX-
citement attendant to it appears to
have been taken advantage of for an
attempt somewhere else to disregard
the American neutrality regulations.
When the public was stirred by the
Prinz Eitel Friedericks arrival at
Newport News, a flurry followed at
New York over reports that German
ships at the latter port were about to
undertake to dash to sea without
clearance papers. Then, with atten-
ton centered on New York, the Oden-
wald made its sensational attempt to
get away from San Juan, Porto Rico
AS a result of this situation, collec-
tors at ports where there are German
vessels have received instructions to
be especially vigilant. Washington
authorities did not say who they sus-
paign.
With the destroyer Warrington
from Guantanamo either already at
San Juan, Porto Rico. or rapidly
nearing there, and the revenue cutter
Algonquin following as fast as its
moderate speed capacity will permit.
officials were confident today that
there would be no further breach of
neutrality there.
Take Odenwald Into Court.
1t was stated by the department of
justice that the German steamer
Odenwald would be libeled today.
Orders to secure the necessary court
action were sent to the district attOr
ney at San Juan by Attorney General
Gregory last night.
Although the treasury department
had not been definitely so advised, it
was believed the, United States mar
shall at San Juan already has taken
charge of the Odenwald. The depart
ment was keeping close watch

SAY Law IS GOOD
Supreme Court Upholds State
Corporation Tax.
Revenue Amounting to $500, 900
Saved by Kansas.

The Kansas supreme court today
upheld the constitutionality of the
corporation tax law, enacted by the
legislature of two years ago. An
opinion in the case will be handed
down later. Notice of the decision was
given today to permit the filing OF
statements before March 81 under
provisions of the law.
In the decision of the court today,
about 100000 is saved annually in
revenue to the state. Last year the
revenue amounted to a little more
than $3.50, 900. a dozen CORPORATE
which Joined in testing the constitu-
tionality of the law had paid into the
treasury under protest about s2S,00O.
Among these corporations were the
Standard Oil company, the Rock Is
land railway and some of the largest
corporations doing business in the
state. They had paid their fees as
provided by law, but protested pay
ment and brought suit in the Shawnee
county district court to test the law
Several months ago the district
court held for the state. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court and
the decision today affirms the action
of the lower court. 1t is proba BILE the
case will go to the supreme court of
the United States.
All statements under the corporation
tax law must be filed by March 81
Most of the large corporations subject
to provisions of the act have withheld
payment pending the courts decision.
Fees for corporations under the Kan
sas law range from SO to $4,000 a
wear.
