METHOD FOUND TO
 STOP PR0F|TEER|NG
New Taxes May Be Based on
 Corporation Reports

Washington, May 29.-Corporation income and excess profits tax returns now being received by the treasury department may be utilized by the government to check the war prof. teering which has been held up to public scorn by President Wilson.
 Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, in his official capacity, and in the public interest has every right to canvass these returns individually or iE the aggregate, according to official interpretation of the law and regu- lations.
 It has been intimated in Washing ton recently that some of them will show astonishing results of opera ton. There is just one apparent method in which they can be used, however, and this is in the levying of the new taxes by congress. Secre tary McAdoo can and undoubtedly will use the returns now at hand as a basis for suggestions to congress on the various tax items.
 Individual cases will be hard to reach through tax levy, but it is be- lIeved that various industrial or bus mess groups will run parallel. Wherever this is the case it will be easy to reach inordinate profits and turn them back to the governmen through a special tax.
 It is the popular belief that tax re- turns are strictly confidential and a heavy penalty is provided for dis closing any information regarding them. This is true with respect to all individual tax returns. No offer of the treasury except those who must handle such returns are even permitted to see them, and a penalty of a $1,000 fine with imprisonment and instant dismissal is provided for any government official or employe who uses or discloses any informa- ton they return.
 This does not apply, however, to corporation, joint stock company, as- sociation or insurance company re- turns. Under the provisions of the Underwood Simmons tariff act, Presi- dent Wilson issued an executive order providing: That any and all such re- turns shall be open to inspection only upon the order of the president under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the secretary of the Treasury and approved by the president
 These regulations were promul- gated and approved in 1914 and have never been changed. The regulation stated that the returns shall be open to the inspection of proper officers o1 the Treasury department.
 The secretary of the Treasury has the right of inspection of any or all of them at any time. The statistical di- vision of the Internal Revenue bureau is now at work upon them to develol fully for official uses the returns of the existing tax laws. The secretary may examine and learn the profits of any organizations to ferret out and check profiteering.
 Further than this, the records ma. be utilized by congress under proper certification in the framing of an! legislation designed to check huge profits from war. It is probable tha they will be utilized to the full il l this respect as we'll as a guide for in telligent action in framing the nev revenue act.

SENTENCED no GALLONS AGAIN
hdge Griffin Imposes Penalty as Matter Of Duty

San Francisco, May 29.-The death kntence was pronounced late yester Say for the second time upon Thom- A J. Mooney, in whose behalf Presi- 2bnt Wilson several weeks ago be- poke executive clemency. According I the sentence, which prescribes that B be hanged at an indeterminate 7ate not more than 90 days hence, &oonay's only apparent chance for Ne now rests in the exercise of such 3emency by Gov. William D. Steph- Rs, before whom a pardon petition
 ready has been placed. He was con- 4cted of murder in connection with xe death of ten persons in the Pre-
 redness Day bomb explosion.
 T The sentence was imposed in the
 hperior Court by Judge Franklin A
 riffin, who presided at the trial, one l the most sensational in the annals
 American Jurisprudence. It calls kr the hanging of Mooney in San $uentin prison not less than 50, nor Fore than 90 days. Judge Griffin did Mi amplify the statement necessary
 sentence, saying merely that the Nv imposed a plain duty upon him. Rooney showed no emotion.
 Reaantencing of Mooney was made Recessary as a result of the tremend- Els effort on the part of socialists, 5dicals, labor leaders and others &om as far away as Russia to extrl- & te him from the web of evidence &hich connected him with the death
 innocent spectators who were Patching the preparedness demon
 ration on July 22, 1916. When the
 st date set for his execution ar &yed the carrying out of the sen Bnce was nullified by an appeal from
 he conviction which was pending.

MUSIC OF 'AMERICA'
 WRITTEN IN FRANCE
Germans Adopt Tune Years After
 the English

Since the beginning of the war Britain and the United States owe even their national anthems to Ger man ku1tur. the one directly and the other at a remove of one step. Capt Perry Belmont, United States Army, las not only punctured this claim, but has clearly proved that the ,Teu- tonic sheer is based on fragrant case of plagiarism in the eighteenth century. He has submitted his find ings to the British em bassy at Wash ington.
 Captain Belmont has the backing of many authorities to show that Lully, the famous French composer of the time of Louis XIV, riginated inc music, that Madame de Brinon wrote the words and that Handel, the German composer, who has been generally credited with the author ship of the anthem, really appro- priated it.
 Perhaps the most convincing link .n the chain of evidence which Cap tain Belmont has produced appears in the memoirs of Madame de Crequy, which cover @ greater part Of the eighteenth century, the period il which the tune was composed. The author speaks of the deep inn pression the anthem made upon her when in 1714 she heard it sung in the chapel of that institution. She further adds that if her grandson, to whom the memoirs are addressed, desires to obtain the words and music he may easily do so, as Handel, ~ I1,r ,ric cit tn Paris obtained permission to copy both.
 Various authorities tell how Han del dedicated the composition to George, Elector of Hanover, who be- came King of England in TIA, and to whom the German composer was capel-m eister in Hanover. If further proof of the authorship were needed 1t is to be found in the Souvenirs de la Markuise de Crequy in the form of a statement signed by four nuns of Saint Cyr. They fully confirm her assertions regarding the associations of both I.ully and Han Gel with the anthem. The original words contained in the Crequy Memoirs are distinctly ap- plicable to such a glorious" and victorious king as Louis XIV, in whose honor they were written by Lu]ly, but not to King George the First, to whom they were dedicated ty Handel. Translated literally from French into English they follow: Great God. Save the King! Great God, Avenge the King! Long live the King. Always the glorious, Louis victorious. Scatter his enemies And make them fall. Great God. Save the King! Great God. Avenge the King! { Long live the King. Only casual reading of the words or l the Handel version of God Save the l King" is required to make obvious l their source. They follow; i God save our. gracious King, Long live our noble King. l God save the King. Send him victorious, ] Happy and glorious, 1 Long to reign over us: 1 God save the King! l o Lord our God. arise! l Scatter our enemies,

 siyc Exercises in Central Park This

Afternoon.
 While patriotic Memorial Day exer- cises took place in all the schools to- day, those conducted by the Grammar school classes were probably the most impressive, inasmuch as part of them took place Sin Central park when the pupils decorated the Soldiers Monu- ment with a wreath and palms.
 Starting from the school at o'clock all the pupils, numbering several hundred, in charge of their teachers, marched up Main street and fianked each side of the monument, where they stood at attention during the eN- crcises. Music was furnished by J. J. Bonncy, a fifer, who was assisted on the drum by Myron Wells. Charles Ouigley. nephew of the mayor, dressed in his Boy Scout uniform, low cred the flag to half-mast during the exercises. and following the placing of | the wreath on tho monument the col l ors were again raised while the chil- dren gave the salute.
 Returning to the school, there were 1 patriotic exercises and an address by 1 Spencer H. Wood commander oI 1 Sanley Post, G. A. R.

 News Spells Session

Wall Street-Stocks were hesitant at the opening of today's session but soon developed a firmer tone on the renewed strength of U. S. Steel, Mid vale, Baldwin, Marine pfd., oils and rails. Conspicuous in the latter group were Reading, Union Pacific, New ]! la yer and St. Paul. Interborough Con- solidated pfd yielded 1 1-4 points on the passing of the dividend and Suna- tra tobaCf followed it's usual uncer- tain course, reacting ? points. Lib erty bonds were heavy.
 The market crept steadily forward during the morning, deriving en- couragement from the absence of dis turbing foreign news Rails helped sustain the advance, high grade shares showing signs of substantial accumulation. The increased strength of steels also was reassuring, while further gains in active equipments and specialties, notably Baldwin, Dis tillers, oils and shippings, indicated short covering over the holiday. Sumatra tobacco more than recovered its early loss, rallying 4 points. Lib erty 3 1-2's old at 99.62 to 99.70, first As at 94.24 to 94.3O, second As at 94.20 to 94.3O and 1-4's at 97.14 to 97.24.
