Bitter Fight is
Made in Taxing
Of lntangibles
Corporation Interests Send
Agents to Lincoln to OPP
pose Measure Urged
By Governor.

Lincoln, March l6.-(Special Tele-
gram)-The fate of millions of Ne
braska dollars was under discussion
here tonight at joint meeting of the
house and senate committee on rev.
enue in taxation, endeavoring in
series of stormy meetings to follow
Goernor McKelvie's recommendation
to revise taxation laws and primarily
to make sweeping changes in the tax
on intangible property.
Corporation interests from the
western to the eastern border of Ne
braska have representatives here
fighting plans for taxing intangibies
under consideration by the joint COM
mittee preparatory to embodying Ne
braska tax laws, revised and en-
larged, in senate file IS.
The committee threatens to put
tax on creameries, on their business
done by agents in country towns, no
part of which volume of business is
touched by taxation at this time, it
is claimed. The same tactics in
handling oil companies for the money
collected in the state by their agents
is being considered.
i Stringent taxation laws affecting
the sugar beet industry in western
Nebraska are under contemplation.
Under the present plan there is
hardly a sack of sugar in western
Nebraska warehouses on April J.,
Representative William said. "a
method should be devised to reac!,

An attempt to impose Anil
tax on corporation shares of stock
is raising a rumpus also. Lincoln
and Omaha business interests are
here fighting the proposition with all
the energy at their command.

tee members to insist that other con-
Germs shall be taxed on intangibles.
Senators Halderman and Randall,
bankers OH the joint house and SEN
ate committee, admitted they were
responsible for the bank exemption
and claimed they did so because
banks already paid three to five
times more tax in proportion to the
investment than other classes of
business.
The meetings promise to continue
for the balance of the week.

Ardmore, Okl., March l6.-Intro-
duction of testimony in the trial OF
Clara Smith Hamon for the alleged
murder OF Col. Jake L. Hamon. re-
publican national committeeman from
Oklahoma and millionaire oil and
railroad man, ended at 1884 O'Clock
this morning and court was recessed
until 3 p. M. to permit Judge Thomas
w. Champion to prepare his instruc-
tons to the jury.
Each side was allotted, five hours
for arguments, and it was said that
it the court had prepared his charge
by the time court reconvened, they
will be gotten under way im-
mediately.
The court will charge the jury on
three points: Murder. which, upon
conviction, would carry a sentence
of death or life Imprisonment; first
degree manslaughter, the sentence for
which upon conviction would be from
four years to life Imprisonment: and
second degree manslaughter, with a
minimum fine of ST.
Lawyers Are Threatened.
S. Prince Freezing, state attorney
general in charge of the prosecution,
said that II. Fl. Brown, special prose-
cutor, would make the opening
argument and that he would close
for the state.
There were numerous reports
about the county building this
morning of threats made against
state counsel and the jurors should
a verdict of guilty be returned
against Clara Hamon. Sheriff
Buck Garrett said, however. that no
such reports had reached him with
one exception, that of a letter writ
ten to member of the defense coun-
sci i'll which warning was given of
possible violence to the defendant
should she be acquitted. II. Fl.
Brown, special prosecutor, said
threats had been made against him,
but he would not go into details.
Offer to Bar Arguments.
w. P. Mclean, Fort Worth, Tex,
said that the defense had submitted
a proposal to the state counsel to
permit the case to go to the jury
arguments immediately after
the judge reads his charge, but that
the state had declined.
Attorney General Freeing pointed
out that in his opening statement he
had not referred to death penalty
should Clara Hamon be found guilty,
and said he would ask penalty
which the jurors "ih their judgment
find fit" He said he would not
change from that in his argument.
Letters Ruled Out.

Trotzky Says Report
OF Revolution Is False

London, March l6,-(By The As

Russian sovie. war minister, de-
clared in an interview given in Mos
COW that "all talk of an uprising in
Petrograd and bombardment OF
the town is silly fictiou," says a
wireless dispatch from the soviet
capital today.
Petrograd is just as impregnable
against counter revolutionary
coup d'etat as it is to the Kronstadt
forces" Trotzky asserted. "Liquida-
ton OF the uprising has been dragged
out because we wish to avoid severe
losses, not only to our troops, but
to the insurrectionists in the Kron-
stadt garrison. Up to the presen.
our losses have been insignificant" F."
Trotzky charged Russian emil
grant centers abroad with fomenting
fhe revolutionary movement in order
to break UP peace with Poland and
the agreement with Great Britain for
resumption of trade relations.
