the Governor and Mr.. Erickson are
at loggerheads are silly. Mr.. Erick-

Just little sidelight on tax eva
sion on the part of corporations.
A certain corporation with its home
office in Omaha, Nebr., and doing
quite an extensive business in Mime
sofa, for the year 1895 reported a
loss in it's business in this state.
knowing the volume of business
transacted locally by the corporation,
the state tax commission was natural
ly suspicious. An auditor was sent
to Omaha to look over the corpora
tion's books. Results: auditors ex-
penses, approximately $500; benefits
to state, a check for $125,000 for the
corporations 1885 Minnesota income
tax.
This means that the corporation,
instead of net loss, as reported by
it, made a profit in Minnesota for
1885 of $2,50O,O00-a nice piece OF
money, so to speak, for taking out
of the state. Incidentally, the above
incident-and many others like it
might account to a large extent for
income tax receipts leaping from 81
100000 in 1894 to $3,5OO.000 in 1885,
in approximate terms.

CAPT. MILLS DIES
IN PLANE CRASH
Wing Clips Building After
Motor Fails on Return
Trip to Capital.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Capt.
Samuel p. Mills, "a. Of Clarendon, Va,
Army Air Corps pilot. was killed late
yesterday when his plane crashed at
Fort Slocum on a return fight from
Boston to Boiling Field, at WASH
ington.
The plane, its motor faltering, shut
tied back and forth above New Ro-
chelle for half an hour as though
the pilot were attempting to overcome
motor trouble and land. A 60-mile
gale swept the metropolitan area.
Swooping down toward the Fort
Slocum parade ground, the craft
struck a corner Of Raymond Hall,
recreation center, with one wing,
overturned and plunged to the ground
in a mass Of tangled wreckage. The
pilots body was found in the plane,
a parachute with 1t, but not strapped
to him.
Col. William o. Ryan, commander
of Boiling Field, confirmed the identi-
fication. He said Capt. Mills left
Boiling Field Friday to fly Repre-
sentative Tobey Of New Hampshire to
Boston on orders of the chief of the
Air Corps.
He left Boston at $3.50 pm. yester-
day, with plans to stop for the night
| at Mitchell Field here before making
the last leg to Boiling.
Identification was difficult at first
because another officers name was
stitched into Mills flying suit. At
Boiling Field it was explained that
officers equipment had become mixed
up in the confusion of evacuating the
field as flood waters rose.
| Capt. Mills was born in Vermont
July 8, 1893, was graduated from the
State university in 1915 with a B. S.
degree and enlisted in the Signal
Corps. He was transferred to the
Air Service and commissioned a first
| lieutenant in 1920.
| He studied aeronautical engineer
ing at the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology in 1921, attended the Air
Corps Engineering School the next
year and received an aeronautical en-
cheering degree from New York Uni
versity in 1882. Later he was pro-
moted to a captaincy.

2-THIRDS RULE
IS ABOLISHED
UNDER GAG
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

PHILADELPHIA, June 26 UN.
SO.-Another ancient landmark
the Democratic twothirds rule
was carried away today in the
swift-changing panorama of Amer
tcan political life.
Many Southern Democrats, sad
dened, and in some instances en-
bittered, predicted the issue would
rise again in 1910 when the Demo
cratic Party may be in the throes
of a battle over it's presidential
candidate.
The rule, which was forced onto
the party by Andrew Jackson to
work his will in convention, was
abrogated by a voice vote of the
convention last night after the
rules committee had presented a
unanimous report.
One Concession Won
One concession was wrung from
q rules committee bent on eStab-
fishing majority rule for the nom
1nation of Democratic presidential
and vice presidential candidates.
The report approved by the con-
vention instructed the Democratic
National Committee to recommend
to the 1910 convention "a plan for
improving the system by which
delegates and alternates TO Demo
cratic National Conventions are
apportioned."
It further instructed the COM
mittee to take into account the
Democratic strength in each State
in making the apportionment.
This appeaSed many Southern
opponents of the change.
Senator Ellison Smith of South
Carolina, exclaimed:
"The South is ruined pOliti-
cally. NevermOre can it have
q voice in Democratic national
affairs. 1t is shame. 1t is a
tragedy"
PASSED UNDER gag"
The historic change was rushed
through the convention under
''gag rule"
AS soon as the report was pre-
sented. Senator Clark moved the
previous question to cut off de-
bate. Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, permanent chairman,
quickly put the previous question.
There appeared to be as many
noes" as "ayes" but he declared
the vote ordered.
The rule then was abrogated
with comparatively few delegates
shouting out their votes. Here,
too, it appeared that the vote was
evenly divided but Senator Robin
son ruled that the report was
adopted. Loud laughter swept
through sections of the great
convention hall as the chairman
announced his ruling.

D. {. DISN|SSES
z|0NCHECK

Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue,
Of the United States District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia, today signed an order form
ally releasing Representative Ma
rion A. Zioncheck CD of Wash
ington, from the jurisdiction of
the local court.
The order pointed out that the
Justice was taking the action fol
lowing representations by Mrs.
Rubye Nix Zioncheck, wife of the
1awmaker, and Mrs. Anna Ma
deau, his sister, which were Ito
the satisfaction of the court"
This indicated that before
Zioncheck was removed to the
Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hos
pital in Towson, Md, an under
standing was had between the
Washington State Representa-
tive's wife and sister and mem
bers of the staff of the Corpora
tion Counsel.
A week ago, the District Com
missioners filed a petition alleg-
ing that Zioncheck, who was then
in Gallinger Hospital, was insane
and a dangerous person to be at
large. Moreover, the petition said,
Zioncheck was unable to take care
of himself or of his property and
should be adjudicated of unsound
mind in order that guardianship
proceedings might be instituted.
Later Zioncheck, screaming for
help and declaring that he was
being kidnapped, was whisked from
Gallinger in a Board of Public
Welfare ambulance to Towson,
where he was placed in the Shep-
pard & Enoch Pratt Sanitarium.
Just how long zioncheck will re-
main in the Maryland institution
is not known, but his removal
from the Jurisdiction of the local
court obviates the possibility of
holding a hearing here.
