NEW YORK, May 13.-The bond
market slid along on an even keel to-
day with small gains and losses about
evenly divided.
That trading was restricted was
attributed by some to the quietness OF
the stock market, which has, in recent
months, provided considerable stim-
ulus. particularly to medium and low
priced carrier equities.
The market remained under the in
fuence Of the large sum OF idle ex-
cess banking reserves which have for
a long time been lending support.
The small activity in French 7l2s
which were up a trifle was taken as
an indication that recent uneasiness
over fears of devaluation of the franc
had momentarily slid into the back
ground as a market factor.

Treasury Officials Center on

Corporations.

What is a corporation?
All sorts of answers have gone into
the record Of congressional hearings
on the proposed levy on undivided
profits.
Some call it legal fiction" IA
vored for tax and legal advantages,
such as avoidance of individual liabil-

Others see it as a natural growth

But to Treasury officials fighting
for the profits levy corporation first

Hammering away at that point, they
hoped today to turn the scrutiny of
the Senate Finance Committee to in
dividuals behind the corporation,
rather than its legal standing as a
separate entity.

The focus had shifted toward cor
porations as gigantic business entities,
owning large part of the Nations
wealth. as result of objections by
Senator Byrd of Virginia that under
the proposed profits levy many big
units paying out all or most of their
earnings virtually would go tax-free
Treasury authorities want Congress
to look beyond the balance sheet at
individuals who own and control a
company. That, they hold, makes all
the difference as far as the problem of
collecting more revenue is concerned.
The revision of the corporate tax
structure, already approved by the
House, looks to gains in revenue chiefly
from wealthy individuals in the SUR
tax brackets in line to receive dividends
paid out under pressure of graduated
rates upon undistributed earnings.

In his statement which followed
filing of the suit, Strawn said in part:
This suit is filed against the illegal

Without any request upon my firm

the Western Union Telegraph Co., to
produce all kilograms charged to our
account between February / and De-

is purely of private nature, and
which should not be subjected to pub

"One of the highest duties imposed

REICH PREPARED
TO DISCUSS PACT
Informs London of Willing.
ness to Negotiate
Naval Treaty.
BY the Associated Press.

by Inc Associated fTetS.
LONDON, March 2.-The foreign
Office announced today that Germany
has informed Great Britain that she
is prepared to negotiate an Anglo
German bilateral treaty on the basis
of any agreement reached at the pres
ent four-power naval conference.
The question of Germany's particle
patton in the proposed treaty sought
by the United States, Great Britain,
France, and italy has been one Of the
main bones Of contention in the con-
ference.
France consistently has opposed
German participation while Great
Britain has contended that. for a
naval treaty to be international in
character, Germany must be repre-
sented.
Places Premium on Success.
Germany's decision was conveyed
to Anthony Eden, British foreign Sec
retary, by Prince Bismarck, counsellor
of the German Embassy, Saturday.
Germany made 1t clear that the
bilateral arrangement would come into
force If the other naval powers agreed
to similar proposals.
This condition placed premium on
the success Of the long deadlocked
four-power parley.
AS a matter of fact. it served to con-
fuse instead Of to clarity the situation
in conference quarters, inasmuch as
it previously was understood that the
Germans might conclude a bi-lateral
arrangement with Great Britain re-
gardless of the outcome Of the con-
ference.
At the present time. the chances
that the conference will reach an
agreement appear most remote. with
Italy not willing to sign and with
France continuing to oppose the 35.-
000-ton maximum on capital ships for
| which the United States Is holding
| out. The French want a maximum Of
27,500 tons, but the Americans hold
that American battleships need a
cruising range which only the larger
tonnage can give.
In the background are many politi-
cal problems, none Of which has as
yet been ironed out and the discus
sion of which the United States dele
gates oppose on the grounds that
America is not to be embroiled in Eu-
ropean politics.

quacy of the $4,000 900 President
Roosevelt has promised to make avail
able for 1896 seed and feed loans be-
fore attempting to override the veto
Of a $50, 100000 authorization.
Members came out of the meeting
with statement that Chairman
Smith had insufficient votes to take
the vetoed bill to the floor for a vote,
Senator McNary. the Republican
leader and member of the committee,
said the group agreed to a proposal by
Senator Thomas. Democrat, of Okla
homa, that the bill be kept alive in the
committee while an investigation of
seed loan needs by districts is carried
out.
Most members predicted this would
end the controversy without trying to
override the Presidents wishes.
After vetoing the seed loan bill
carrying $50.000,000, the President al
located $7,000,000 for seed loans
through the Commodity Credit Corp
with word that the fund would be
extended later to $30,o00,0O0, II neces-
| sary.
Smith scorned the $1,000, 600 allo-
cation. why that isn't enough for

the Presidents veto would fail. But
he was not ready to concede defeat

that of Maj Busuke Amano, ordnance
officer of the Sd Infantry Regiment,
who shot himself dead last Saturday,
taking responsibility for permitting
the rebels to remove quantities of
arms from the barracks.
The Privy Council, known to have
passed important legislation" at the
palace, was believed to have decided
on special judicial procedure for the
rebels.
Fate Of Others Undecided.
The other two rebels announced off,
cially to have shot themselves were
Capt Teruzo Ando, alleged leader of
the insurrection, and Capt. Shiro No.

Although Ando shot himself in the
head, it was reported he had fair
chance of recovery.
The fate of the 81 surviving alleged
leaders of the rebellion, understood to
be held at the military prison in Shi-
buya, was still to be decided. They
face trial for murder and rebellion,
with special courts under the prevail
ing martial law empowered to act
swiftly and decisively.

opened as the capital gradually re-
turned to normal, but the stock ex-

10000 Ethiopians Die as Fascists Pene-

BY the Associated Press.
Fascist soldiers have driven spear
head deep into the body of Ethiopia
today, and Fascist diplomats in Geneva
sought to supplement Italy's armed
successes with a victory at the con-
ference table.
Specifically. they sought to prevent
the application of more sanctions
against Italy by the League of Nations
A spokesman for the little entente
of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Ru-
mania said he was informed the do
mestic situation in Italy was serious
from an economic standpoint and that
he believes Premier Mussolini would
soon be willing to negotiate for peace
in Ethiopia.
10000 Reported Slain.
A possible additional incentive tc
such negotiations was seen in the feat
of Marshal Pietro Badoglio's Northern
columns, which smashed through the
resistance of the Ethiopian armies in
the Tembien sector and at Amba
Alaji with a reported loss of 10000
men in the Ethiopian forces.
An Associated Press war correspond
ent estimated that only 5000 Ethio-
plans were left in the Tembien sector
surrounded in Abbi Add, a village Is
miles west of Makale.
Observers were of the opinion that
these sweeping Italian gains may have
satisfied Premier Mussolini's desires for
conquest in Ethiopia, in which case
the Geneva report that he was near
ing a willingness to negotiate would
be substantiated.
An authoritative italian source in
Rome stated that Italy was ready to
entertain adequate" peace proposals

Omcial French sources in Paris

that Premier Mussolini was willing to
talk Of peace at last.
However, other Partisan sources said
the French government was "unde-
cided" as to whether this indication
on the part Of II Duce was q real de-
sire for peace or "the beginning Of q
diplomatic offensive"
Such an offensive" would include
activities against the extention OF
sanctions.
The British government, fearful
that the Italo-Ethiopian war roper
cussions would spread to include the
British Empire in the strife, prepared
to make public its program for re-
armament and increased national
