 The title of the case is Charles F. Butts and others against John T. King and others. It is alleged that King was able to obtain. the charter of the Bridgeport and Danbury Electric Rail- way Company from the legislature of 1907 that the act was vetoed on the ground that it has no provision that the capital stock should be paid up and that King was able to obtain the pas sage over the veto. It is alleged that King subscribed. for 1896 of the 2.O0O shares, that he was elected president and director of the company, that he assigned to A. William Sperry his subscription for the, purpose of avoid ing liability and. that the transfer was made shortly before an issue of deben- ture notes. to above $30,o00 It is alleg- ed that the assjgpmeht was fraudulent and void as to all creditors in that King knew that Sperry was of no financial means and further that the corsidera- tion amounted to but a small fraction of the par value of the stock.

SECRETARY MELONS REPORT.

When the recommendation was made last year that there be a reduction .n the surtaxes placed on large incomes there was opposition of such strength as to prevent congressional action that would meet it, It was because there was the feeling that something was be- ing done to relieve the fellows with the big incomes from taxation, and there was an unwillingness to look at In any other light. Instead of re- garding it as encouraging the invest ment of the funds of f'the men of wear:h in industrial activities, through which t would get it's taxation instead of through the surtaxes, there was an in- sistence upon the higher surtaxes with the result that the funds went into tax exempt securities
 Secretary Mellon Of the treasury de partment, in his annual report, again urges the cutting of the high surtax, and at the same time he also points out he wisdom of taking the necessary steps to stop the issuance of the tax free securities.

Those who are protesting against the recall to London of Miss Booth are doing so in the in terest of the Salvation Army that has been established in this country and which has received such faithful and efficient guidance and inspiration at aar hands. The desire is not to delay the recall of Miss Booth but to prevent it just as long as she is able to direct the work.
 Nothing could more clearly express the feeling of the country regarding her services and the organization she has built up than the protest against the contemplated transfer of the leader to Europe, General Booth is of course in command and will be obeyed. It may be that there has been some misunder- standing regarding his plans, but nc cannot have any misunderstanding con corning the attitude of this country relative to the recall which he evidently plans to put in operation next year.

THE KEELING ovtR HERE.

General Bramwell Booth declares in London that he does not contemplate any change which will result in the ee- moval ot his sister, Miss Evangeliae Booth. as commander of the Salvation Army in this country before the fall of next year, and that he has apparently been misunderstood
 Inasmuch as he does contemplate a change next year is to be assumed that the misunderstanding is only as to tne time when if will take place. But the statement comes as the result of the protest that has been made by inn portant personases in this country against such step. and what they may have said under the belief that the transfer was to be made at an early date must apply with the same pointei. ness to any change. that would mean the loss of the guidanca that the army has had here under Evangeline Booth
