HOME FOLKS

Now again the famous story
about Senator John Sharpe Will

Perhaps the aftermath Of the
Italian-Ethiopian war is the spark
that revived it.
At any rate, Senator Williams
was visiting in Rome. He was
entertained royalty and invited to
many functions as befitted such
a great leader Of the United States
Senate. At all these functions, it
seemed there appeared a dark
skinned girl who was introduced
as an AbysSinian princess. After
the introduction, it was pretty
hard going for anyone who re-
manned in the proximity of the
princess, because she spoke Ian.

Amheric origin.
But despite the handicap the
princess appeared at all the func-
tions and went merrily on her way
discussing things of interest and
commenting to all around her
although, for the life of them, none
of her listeners could tell just
whether she was being pleasant or
was giving them the razz.
One evening at function, Sena.

on her left. The princess started

Service to whom the benefit Of the law

Postal Service apply; I'd officers and
employees who are incumbents of OFF,

which the President finds, after in
vestigation, and specifies by executive
order, are of such character that the
public service requires these duties be

who ruled that they may not be lib
Grated through habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
His decision was on the petition of
Raymond Hawkins, colored, vino con-
tended he should be released because
of the presence Of seven Government
workers on the Jury which recently
convictd him and 20 others of engag-
ing in huge illegal liquor conspiracy.
U. S. Employees Disqualified.
Government employees were disquan-
fed for jury service in criminal cases
by recent Court of Appeals decision.
Hawkins did not appeal from his
conviction, although eight of his al
legged fellow conspirators asked the
appellate tribunal to review the case
Justice Gordon ruled that the lille
gal composition of a jury can be raised
only through an appeal. This means
that those convicted persons whose
statutory period for filing appeals has
expired may not take advantage of
the invalidation Of the new jury serv-
ice law.

Granting of Hawkins petition would
have paved the way for the release
of every person convicted since last
October by juries which included Gov

CORRECTION NOTED
IN SANDERS ARREST
Taxi Driver, Held Innocent by
Court, Denies Admitting Any
Connection With Hold-up.

In its issue of Januray 26, 1886, The
Star said in a story relating to the
arrest of Eugene Lee Sanders, taxicab
driver, that police had reported San
ders "had admitted being connected"

COLD WAVE HOLDS
ITS GRIP ON CITY
Cherry Blossoms Expected to Re-
main Through Easter,
Despite Freeze.

With the mercury dropping below
freezing for the second time this
month, no let-up in the belated cold
spell was in sight today, although the
forecaster anticipated some relief in
the form of clear skies.
The temperature dropped to 80 at
6 am. today, duplicating the low mark
reached April 4. Today's maximum
is not expected to be much above 40,
while tomorrow may be 10 degrees or
so warmer, the Weather Bureau said.
Despite the inclement weather dur
ing the past week, Donald Edward Nc
Henry. parks naturalist, predicted the
cherry blossoms would make q fair

is no high wind.
The wind whipped some of the bios
SONS away last night, but, although
past their peak and now white instead
of pink, the blooms are still pretty
enough to draw crowds to the Tidal
Basin every day.

to argue it out with the army while
they went fishing or curing the grippe,
as the case may be.
In the interim, the details Of the
tax issue have been fought out. The
vagaries of the original scheme have
been shipped off. 1t is possible to see
just what can be done.
A vigorous leadership for that can
now be undertaken.
Lighter Effect in Prospect.
A general understanding has been
reached among the insiders that the
final form of the bill will not carry
any broad rich-soaking or wealth.
sharing implications.
The corporation tax, they say, will
strike only the few corporations which
have more surpluses now than they
will ever be able to use and the per-
sonal corporations which have been
used for tax evasion.
Sufficient exemptions 1Diu be
prorided to enable corporations
generally. big and little. to retire
their debts and accumulate red
Sonable SURPRISES without an in
crease in e,riStfng taxation.
If that is not sufficiently guaran-
teed in the bill now being composed
by the House committee, it will be pro-
vided in the Senate. At least this is
the promise now being made so gen.
orally on the inside that it has become
a general expectation Some skeptics
will want to wait until they see it.
1t may mean a fairly good bill, al
though it will not raise anything like
the S600.000,000 of additional revenue
which the President demanded.
Cat Out of the Bag.
The increase proposed in the cor
porate tax reform has been concealed
by the fact that the tax is being trans
ferred from the corporation to the
individual. That makes comparisons
difficult.
Internal ReUenue Commissioner
HelUering let the cat out one day
Wten he testified that the neU pro-
posed tar would be equivalent to
fiat tar OF 2512 per cent on corpo-
rations. The average corporation
income tar now, including the capt.
tai stock tar, is 16.z per cent.
Thus corporation taxation under the
proposed plan would have been boosted
to a level higher than in Great Brit
ain, supposedly the highest taxed ma
ton in the world. In Great Britain
the corporation tax is 2212 per cent,
reduction from the high point of 25
per cent.
