RULES AGAINST AUTO FIRM.
Appeals Court Denies Injunction to
Dodge Brothers in Tax Case

The District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by Mr.. Justice Van Orsdel to-
day. affirmed the action of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia in
denying an injunction to Dodge Bros.
Of Detroit. who sought to enjoin Will
liam H. Osborn. commissioner of in
ternal revenue. from collecting a surtax
levied against the automobile manu-
facturers under the income tax law.
The plaintiffs declared that their tax
able income exceeded s7so,0o0 each. and
that the normal tax under the law was
S14,17472. and that a surtax of $685.
1886 was to be collected in addition.
They urged irreparable injury If COM
PEELED to pay the surtaX.
Counsel for the commissioner moved
to dismiss, claiming that the suit could
not be maintained, since it's object is to
restrain the assessment and collection of
tax, and because the income act pro-
vided an adequate and complete remedy
at law. The lower court upheld the de-
fense, and the higher tribunal affirms
that action.

Peck Traveltalk.

The Storm Heroes of Our Coast. the
United States Life-Saving Service"
provided Arthur A. Peck with a thrill
ing traveltalk with which to close his
course at the Belasco Theater last
night. From Cape Cod to the Golden
Gate and along other ranges which
make up this countrys 10000 miles of
coast line. the lecturer described and
pictured the services to humanity rem
dered by men who are heroes by trade.
Sea dangers, as visioned by billow-
tossed battleship, burning vessels, hid
den rocks and. in one instance, snow
storm into which the steamer Portland
sailed not SO long ago never to be heard
from again, were among the motion
pictures shown in connection with the
life savers work. In contrast to sue
cessive examples of hardship and cour-
age in which the lives of passengers
We're saved at the risk of the rescuers,
Mr.. Peck cited merciless figures to
prove that this government pays it's
men of the life-saving service less
wages than those given to the ordinary
.unskilled clerk. The lecturer paid a
tribute to Supt. kimball. whose por-
trait was shown together with others
connected with the founding of the life
saving service, and to men especially
noted for daring and the saving of
many lives.

SAYS BODY TO SIFT
TREATIES WOULD FAIL
DR.. Marco A. Herradora of Hondu.
ras Opposes Secretary
Bryan's Plan.

Dr. Marco A. Herradora OF Honduras,
who assisted in the settlement of the
serious differences between Honduras
and Costa Rica in 1907, is opposed to
Secretary Bryans plan of sending u
United States commission to Honduras,
Costa Rica and Salvador to investigate
treaty conditions. He insists that
there is no need of such an iHvestiga-
ton, and says that a commission of the
character proposed would fail of its
purpose.
Any such body of men,, said Dr.
Herradora. sent to Central America by
the United States would no; be able to
obtain the truth n rs Investigation
In those countr>es the individual citi-
zen and merchant is in awe OF the
power of the reigning Political parties
and were they to tell the truth con-
cerninS the Industrial conditions in
those states thay would be subjected to
Imprisonment or other hardships, which
would ruin than.
The people of Honduras and Costa
Rica want the friendship of the United
States. They want treaties, but they
want to be considered in affairs of
state and diplomacy. They feel that
they do not want to have the same en-
periences to which Nicaragua was sub
jected.
The reason the Secretary of State
has received no reply TO his note con-
cerning. the treaties is because Mr.
Bryan himself has not replied to the
representatives of these governments
when they have asked for an inter
pretation of the order by which Ameri
can marines are still on the soil at
Nicaragua.
Neither Costa Eica nor Honduras
wants any money from the United
States. These countries are not bank
rupt. They have great natural re-
sources, and they are willing to give
the United States adequate naval bases
They want treaties. but they want the
kind that means something, not merely
an agreement based upon the findings
of some partisan political commission
with Interior purposes to serve"

THOUGHT TO Be IN FAVOR
Of AN EXTRA SESSION
President Said to Desire Legislation
Which Present Congress Can
not Complete.

| Political gossip may be nothing but
froth, but members of Congress are
iclutching eagerly at the undercurrent
| of stray talk that is going about the
| city these days on the subject of an
extra session. and the most interesting
hit that has been retailed from man
to man in the House lobbies and cloak
rooms today is the oft-rcpeated asser-
tion that the President wants an extra
session for the political effect on the
country. This particular piece of
cloakroom conversation has been going
taround in one form and another and
bears the stamp OF approval of one or
two of the biggest men on the hill
Admits Unfavorable Conditions.
According to the cloakroom politi-
clans. the administration is we'll aware
'of the fact that the democratic party
is not in q position of triumph before
the country, but is in a sad predica-
ment. with Roosevelt men flocking
back to the c. o. 2. in droves. and the
i'I told YOU So crowd taking every
opportunity to blame the democratic
party for every bit of the business de-
preston existing in certain quarters.
1t is on this account. the gossips fig
urge an extra session of Congress so
as to keep the legislative grist mill
going in the hope of reassuring the
people with the kind of laws that
would be enacted.
Legislation in. Program.
1t is well known that the admins
tration wants to see enacted a rural
credit law, the ship purchase bill, the
Df
ippine bill and minor measure pro-
viding for the chartins of waters
around Alaska and the Philippines.
The demand for rural credits law
alone amounts to large volume of the
clamor throughout the country, and its
enactment would undoubtedly work
well politically. At presen. there is a
deadlock between the administration
and House members who have the
upper hand in rural credits legislation.
Representative Bulkley of Ohio has
charge of that matter, but his bill is
not acceptable to the President. Rep
resentative Bulkley has a theory that
there should be governmental aid Of an
indirect sort in spreading rural credits
about the country, while the admins
tration favors a plan whereby eStab-
lished bankers would set up the re-
quired machinery.
Variance of Views.
Political sharps agree that if the demo-
cratic party could call an extra session
and promise all sorts of panacea to the
present real or supposed ills with which
the country is suffering, it would have
a beneficial effect in some quarters; but
on the other hand, Senator Kern and Rep
resentative Underwood, the congressional
leaders of the democratic party, are not
at all in favor of any more legislation
In their attitude may be seen the reason
why Representative Underwood recently
gave out so optimistic a denial of the
claim that there would be Il Treasury
deficit.
1t is certain that if the responsible
leaders of Congress will agree that there
will be deficit the President would be
justified in going before the country with
that as an excuse for calling an extra
session.
