TAX ON FOREIGN COMPANIES.
Supreme Court Holds State Has Right
to Assess Two Cents Per $1,000
on Capital Stock.

Denver.-The burden of proving
lawful possession OF game in Colora-
do rests upon the possessor and not
upon the state, according to deci-
sion handed down by the Supreme
Court. The decision is considered OF
the utmost Importance, inasmuch as
it reversed a verdict of the District
Court of Mesa county which, if allowed
to stand, virtually would have rem
dered impracticable the enforcement
of the game laws of the state.
The Supreme Court also upheld the
right of the state to impose flat tax
upon foreign corporations in Colorado
engaged in il -fstate business. The
litigation dates back to the admins
tration of James Cowie as secretary
of state when the Colorado & South
ern refused to pay a flat tax of cents
per $1,000 of its capitalization, claim
ing among other things that it was
exempt from such tax because en-
gagged in interstate business. In max
ing its finding the Supreme Court up
held the question of states rights as
applied to taxation.
There must be limit and line
drawn somewhere concerning the
question of interference with Inter-
state Commerce by way of taxation,
II government by states is to con-
tinue," says the decision.

BRITISH CRUISER ARETHUSA is
BELIEVED TOTAL LOSS
THRILLING DEEDS IN

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, Feb. 16.-The destruction of
TWO allied warships with the loss OF
3S4 lives was reported Monday.
Three hundred and seventy four
lives were lost when the French
cruiser Admiral Charnes was sunk off
the Syrian coast Dispatches con-
firming the loss of the cruiser said
that only one man, out of 375 aboard,
was saved. The ministry of marine
gave out a statement expressing fear
for the safety of the Admiral Charner,
4,680-ton cruiser. 1t was stated that
no word had been received from her
since Feb. 8, when a German report
stated that French warship had
been torpedoed by a German subma-
rine.
Ten seamen were killed when the
British cruiser Arethusa was blown
up by mine, off the east coast OF
England. The Arethusa, which has
figured in some of the most thrilling
English naval exploits of the war, is
believed to be a total wreck.
The Arethusa, light cruiser, built
in October, 1918, had several encoun
ters with German torpedo boats and
other warships early in the war, and
became known as the daredevil of the
English fleet. Her exploits inspire
several English poets to create
rhymes in her honor, and the Are
husn's crew were popular heroes in
England.

GARRISON RESIGNS
WAR SECRETARY DIFFERS WITH
PRESIDENT ON "coNTINEN-
TAE ARMY" PLAN; QUlTSa
Opposition to Philippine Independence
Measure Also Ground for Action
Of Retiring officer.-Assistant
Secretary Breckenridge
Also Quits.

-
Washington.-Secret Lindley M.
Garrison resigned Thursday because
President Wilson would not "irrevoc-
ably support the Continental army
plan and because he opposes the ad-
ministrations program of setting
definite time. fo- Philippine inde'
pendence.
President Wilson accepted the res
ignation and has not selected sue
cessor. The President himself prob
ably will take personal charge Of the
administrations national defense
plans in Congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as mark of loyalty to
his chief whose views he shared. The
President accepted his resignation.
Both take. effect Immediately. Major
General Hugh L. Scott, chief Of staff
of the army, automatically becomes
secretary of war ad interim.
The resignation came as a distinct
surprise not only to Washington gen.
orally, but to members of the Cabinet.
One Cabinet officer said that while he
knew there was a difference Of opin-
ion between the President and Mr..
Garrison over handling the army
plans, he had not the slightest suspi-
cion that an actual break was impend-
ing. Although Mr. Garrison first sug-
gested that he leave the Cabinet last
month, Mr.. Wilson did not formally
accept his resignation until late
Thursday afternoon, when informed
that Mr.. Garrison had left for New
York and that rumor Of his resigna-
ton were current. The President then
dictated the letter of acceptance and
dispatched it Immediately.
1t was not until 8 o'clock Thursday
night that formal announcement of the
Garrison and Breckenridge restgna
tions was at the White House.
It is known that one of Secretary
Gar,ison's principal reasons for his
conviction that only federal CONT
mental army, instead of 8 re3rganszed
national guard, could be the main mil
itary dependence of the nation, waa
his belief that some day the United
States may be called upon 20 defend
the Monroe doctrine, and in that
| event he foresaw the national guard
might not be available for use outside
Of the United States before a declara.
tion of war.
Upon the contention on the one
hand that the continental army or ulti
mately universal service was the ma.
tion's only reliance, the position, on
the other, that no one plan could be
enforced upon Congress, President
Wilson and his secretary of war part
ed official company.
Mr.. Garrison'sa resignation was q
complete surprise to official Washing
ton generally. He made no personal
explanation.
Several hours before the official an.
nouncement he had boarded a train
| with his wife for New York, and word
had been passed at the department
that he had gone for an indefinite
stay.
The acute differences of opinion
which led to the break began early in
the year when opposition to the con.
tinental army plan began developing
In Congress.
The circumstances which led up to
the resignation are detailed in the sec
retarys correspondence with the Pres
ident, which was made public tonight
by the White House.

CROSSES THE BORDER

San Antonio, Tex, June 16.-For two hours today Mai. Alonzo Gray secured a strip of country on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande for traces of rhe bandits who yesterday raided his camp at San Ygnacio.
 He crossed at Ramerno. six miles below San Ygnacio, with d part of the two troops of the Fourteenth cavalry that fought off Luis De La Rosas men Thursday. Most of the bandits are known to have crossed into Mexico and Major Gray had received information that some of them were concentrating for a second attack. The cavalrymen deployed in the brush along tte friver and moved back toward San Ygnacio, recrossing into Texas at Martinero. No trace of the outlaws was found
 Three Mexicans alleged to have par ticipated in the raid were captured on the American side of the river during the day and the body of one of those killed in the fight recovered, bringing the total Mexican loss in dead 70 nine.
 Reports from Laredo. where the sol diers wounded in yesterdays fight were taken stated that all of the wounded probably will recovet. The country about San Ygnacio was report ed quiet today.
 Three companies of coast artillery now on their way here will be sent to Laredo. One company of engineers ar rived today and will be held kere for the present.

Ultimatum Is Sent to
 Pershing by Trevino
tCOntinued from rare One)

here as to his friendly intentions. While the Mexicans are so posted, officials de- clare, they cannot be in good faith con- ducting a campaign against bandits, but they can keep close watch upon the move ment of General Pershing's men, The breaking up of these forces into small parties to SCOUT the country for outlaws is one of the conditions which would be demanded by the United States before the American expedition would be recalled.
 Army officers have no fears for the safety of General Pershng's forces, no matter what develops. The expedition is amply supplied, and General Pershing re- gently inspected in person the disposition of his troops The strategic points at the base camps and along the line of communication are protected by entrench- ments.
 The report of General Trevinos action gave rise to renewed speculation as to the course to be taken by President Will son to make certain the safety of the border. The entire National Guard has ir effect been under waiting orders for several weeks, and some officials thought it possible a strong force of guardsmen would be promptly ordered to the border if official dispatches confirmed the Chi huahua City story.

NOTE IS COMPLETED

Washington. June 16-Presid"nt Will son today virtually completed his rerly to the Carranza note While it's sub stance was being written into the dem- ocratic platform at St. Louis The re- ply itself may not be dispatched for several days. but administration off, cials indicated that General Carranza had only to read the party's Mexican plank to learn in advance what the American note would say.
 The plank. framed in a large meas ure by the President himself, is taken as confirmation that renewed border raids and the anti-American demonstra- tions in Mexico have not altered Mir Wilson's determination that interven- tion will come only if it is forced. The platform declaration that intervention is revolting to American minds is known to be the Presidents fixed view but the plain ntimation that it would not be shirked as last resort may, officials think. serve as warning to the Mexican government.
 The note, the body of which was put into final form at a conference today between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, will not be sent it is under stood until details of the San Ignacio raid are available It contains no state- ment, it is said, that should arouse hos tility unless General Carranza is delib- erately set upon bringing on a clash with the United States. Firm language is employed in refuting the charges and instinuations of bad faith contained in the Carranza communication.
 As to withdrawal of the American ex- petition, the note coincides with the plat form declaration by which the party pledged itself to maintain armed forces in the borderland of Mexico until there remains no probability of bandit raids on American towns and ranches. It was emphasize tonight in administration quarters that the plank left no way open for a change of purpose in that regard.
 It may be several days before full in- formation regarding the San Ignacio raid Is at hand Intimations that Carranza officials knew something of that affair have been received and are being inves- tigated Officials wish to see also wheth-
