TAXING CORPORATIONS

Washington. June 6.— Taxation of cor

CANNON A "PlKEß."— Speaker Cannon [
was rendered absolutely speechless to-day. ;
He was so overwhelmed with envy that he j
could r.ot even express bis sentiments in ,
bis usual picturesque language. The only
thing he could say as. 'I'm a piker- a
: plain, common. Ordinary piker." The or
! casioii of the Speaker's discomfiture was a
| reading of the bylaws of the Congressional
Club, "i organization composed or the
1 wives and daughters of members of Con
| gress. These bylaws provide that "there
! shall be appointed by the president a nomi
j nating committee, which shall consist of
j nine members." and. further, that "it shall
i be th* duty of the nominating committee
to present names at a special meeting two
wefks preceding the regular meeting for
! ttif- election of officers. The names of offl
i cers may be presented for re-election once
[only for the Mine office. After two years
! they are eligible for any office." This
! mean? thai the president of this year may
' nominate the candidates for next year. No
j candidate other than one nominated by the
I nominating committee Is eligible There-
I fore, the little oligarchy which norr domi
nates the club is self-perpetuating, and
j nothing can disturb It. Had the Speaker
only thought to secure the adoption of a
' rule providing that he should appoint a
! nominating committee, and that no one not
{ to nominated should be eligible for Speaker,
I he might easily have retained the office for
! all time, and no insurgent plots to unseat
I him would prove of the slightest avail.
| Hence, his wrath, made doubly poignant by
the thought that as a czar he had been
• beaten by women.
RED CROSS ÜBGiSLATIOK.-aenator
I Lodge Eeamd the passage to-day of the
Red Cross bill which was introduced In the
1 House by Representative Denby and has
: been Ftanchly advocated by Miss Mabel
: Boardman. This bill makes it unlawful for
'. any one falsely to represent himself as a
: member or agent of the Red Cross or
to use the emblem of the Red Cross as
I a trademark or for advertising purposes
! unless such person had so used the cm
i blem prior to January 3. IMB. "The bill
1 further provides that the endowment fund
■ of the Red Cross shall be kept and invested
: under the management and control of a
' beard of nine trustees, whoyfehall be elected
! from lime to time by the incorporates or
their successors, etc. It is expected that
i this legislation will serve to prevent a num
| her of frauds which have been perpetrated
! through the unauthorized solicitation of
| funds for the Red Cross and that ft will
• further serve to prevent the continued ad
; vertlElnV or a!', sorts of Red Cross articles
i md nostrums which have no right to the
'• indorsement the use of th- emblem implies.
NATIONAL conservation com
! MISSION.— Dlxon. for the Com
' mitte? on Conservation, of which he is
chairman, reported favorably to the Sen
' ate to-day Senator ICewiaads's bill creating
i a national conservation commission of
fifteen members, to be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate,
! such commissioners to serve without pay
i and to investigate and report on all prob
] lems having to do with the control of water
resources, irrigation, municipal water sup
' plies, the extraction of coal, gas and other
. minerals, the protection of the public do
\ main for homeseekers and of the timber
! reserves, etc. The bill further provides
| that the commission shall make annual re
• ports to the President, who In turn shall
submit such reports to Congress for its
! guidance. There is an appropriation of
', 150.000 to carry out its provisions. The
i adoption of this bill would provide for an
i official conservation commission which

Renshaw, also former superintendent of the
machinery department, and John M. Taylor,
former general storekeeper.
In connection with 'h» charges the rail
read declare? in it? mil tiist these con
cerns profited in alleged overcharges on
car repair work in the following smoiin«s:
The Blue Island Equipment Company. $4n0.-900:4 nO.
900: the American Car and Equipment Com
pany. fino.Ct; the Aosterman Manufactur
ing Company, 5750.P00, and the Memphis
Car Company, $SOO.OCO. The International
(,'ar Company i? al?o named as having prof
ited.
In addition to the suit filed apainst the
four former officers, the railroad also filed
suits for an accounting aga-nst the West
Pullman Car Company and asainst the
American Car and Equipment Company
The filing of the suits follows an investi
gation by the railroad company and nu
merous rumors of an alleged graft "ring"
in the Illinois Centra! Railroad. High offi
cers of the road have stoutly denied that
there existed ?nv trouble of this character.
The bill against the four former depart
ment head's alleges that the men entered
into a conspiracy in Jure, UK, and that
from that date until April, 1311. the railroad
company was defrauded out of nearly
i2.W>.WV>. The' defendant? are alleged to
have represented to the corporation that
the company's repair work could be done
more cheaply by independent concerns than
at the. railroad's own chops. *vVhen con
tracts were given to certain independent
concerns, the bill charges, the railroad com
pany began paying a long series of large
overcharges, from which certain superin
tendents are declared to have obtained
thousands of dollars.
In the rui*. filed against th* American
Car and Equipment Company Judge Walker
at once Issued an injunction restraining
the car concern from bringing any suit; to
collect from the Illinois Central amounts
alleged to be due.
In the Ml! filed against the "West Pull
man concern it is charged that Henry C.
Ostermann and the Ostermann Manufact- ,
uring Company entered Into an alleged
conspiracy to defraud the railroad. The.]
"West Pullman Company is successor to J
the Osterman company.
Thr bill against the four former officers
states that they caused cars to bo sent
for repairs to concprn.s controlled in whole
or In part by Keith. Buker. Renshaw rind
Tf. ylcr
The l>ill also charges that t\ hen th° FTll
noi.s Central closed it? own repair Fhops
in 1006 it had on hand a larpe number of
cars to be repaired and large stock of ma
tcriaJs and fcuppiies with which to in ike
repair?. Tn reference to this the bill say:*:
"They (the defendants) further conspired
to caur-r your orators materials and sup
plies, ?uch as lumber, pamf. ties, rails,
bolts and other materU-ls anil supplies, x<>

BROWNE FIGHTS TRIAL
Wins Further Delay — Another
Fish "Jackpot" Story.
Chicago. June 6.— The trial of Lee O'Xeil
Browne. Democratic minority leader in the
State legislature, indicted on charges of
bribery in connection with the election of
United Stated Senator Wiliam Lortmer, was
set back another day to-day by the argu
rrents of counsel on the plea for a writ of
habeas corpus. Judge Bcanlan took the
question under advisement and will give
his decision on Wi«> writ of habeas corpus
to-morrow morning. The defence contends
that the state courts have no Jurisdiction
in the case. The p,nr;<:' argument was pre
viously made before Judge M Surely, who
held it faulty Judge McSurely waited a
good part of the day to proceed with th»
trial before adjourning his court until to
morrow.
The county grand jury for June was
sworn to-day and adjourned until to-mor

Address to City Democracy.
in remarks to a deletration of the City
Democracy of Netr York, which appeared
before him to-day in the interest of direct
nominations legislation. the. Governor
showed how important he considered this
subject. This committee, which w«a headed
by Thomas GiUeran. asked the Governor to
address a proposed mass meeting before th*
extra session Th» Governor expressed
deep pratiflratlon at th*» interest displayed
In a subject which he regarded as "one Of
fundamental importance/* He continued:
■ Whatever measures of progress one may
bo interested in, he must realize that the
only way they can b* promoted, so far a?
legislation, and administration are <">-?
cerned, is through th» action of the chosen
representatives of the people. The large
expansion of the work of the government
makes the 'question of true and faithful
representation constantly more Important.
There is nothing that I more earnestly de-
Mre than to see those who are chosen as
representatives f?el that they owe nl
legiance to the constituency. I>>t them be
faithful partisans, but let them represent
as party men the voters of their party and
not those who attempt for selfish purposes
to control the action of their party.
"I have said so much on this matter, and
I feel so deeply about It. that it is hardly
necessary for me at this time to express
myself further. This Is a year in which this
subject is of special importance. We are to
elect this year state officers and an entire
Legislature — Senators as well as Assembly
—and a number of county officer?. It
is therefore important that we should sit
this time perfect our system of making
nominations. I haven't the slightest doubt
as to the sentiment of the people of this
state— the preponderating sentiment.
Will Consider Invitation.
. "I thank you for your invitation and I
will give it consideration. I trust that the
sentiment of the state will have a very
decided expression. My own deep interest
in this question and belief In Its funda
mental character cannot be too strongly
emphasized, and I hope that those who
have the »>ower to reflect the sentiment of
the state In appropriate legislation will
realize not merely their duty to the people,
but their privilege at this time to give the
state of New York a proper measure of
primary reform."
Mr. Gilleran said that the organization
he represented wa3 heartily in favor of
direct nominations. Tt believed the Hin-
Green bill preferable to the Cobb bill.
as having kler ope.
"If •"-» R"t proper reform legislation of
that type." he said, "we'll send to the
lesislature unbQßJcd men who won't kill
reforms desired by the people and thwart
an E^erutlve of hi.eh standards who is try-
Ing honestly to serve the people." .
William A. Larney, Democratic candi
date for a couple of years for leader of
th«» llth Assembly District, told how
Tammany's methods had beaten him. He
said he was "counted out'" by inspectors
who permitted "burprlars, thugs, thieves
and , white slavers" to stuff fne baMot
bo\es. He paid he had seen decent citi
zens blackjacked and v nt by these men.
Premium Is put on these white elavers,"
sail be "They are protected by th» po-w
ers that h* so they ran be used this way
at the primaries."
Albert J Weber, foreman of a rrand
jury which const dared primary flT id elec
tion fraud cases, urged that legislation bo
rscomrr.rnded making violation of the pri
mary laws a felony Instead of a misde
meiTirr. as at present.
'"This." Mr. Weber said, "'would b« a
