Participates in Parade
and Makes a Number of
Ta I ks-Rochester Today
CHICAGO, March 17.—Fairly
burled in green emblems, banners
and bunting, Chicago today received
President Taft as its guest on one
of the biggest St. Patrick's day cele
brations the city has ever known.
Met at the station by a National
guard regiment and a large recep
tion committee, President Taft swung
into the line of the St. Patrick's day
parade, which marched through
Michigan avenue to the down town
district and escorted him to the La
Salle hotel.
The President came to Chicago as
the guest of the Irish Fellowship
club and the entire day until his de
parture for Rochester, N. Y., at 11
o'clock tonight, was crowded with
events in which those directing the
general St. Patrick's day celebration
played the dominating part.
President Taft was a visitor dur
ing the day at the Chicago newspaper
c'ub. The President chose as his
topic “The Press,” and in his speech
touched on various phases of Jour
nalism.
In none of his speeches did the
President give utterance to keynotes
which have not been heard before in
his various addresses and messages
to Congress. However, he said that
the day was one set aside for Joyous
celebration and that he did not deem
It fitting to burden it with matters
of state.
He did declare, how-ever, that the
letter addressed this week to Illinois
editors and read at Springfield from
Speaker Joseph U. Cannon of the
House hud his full endorsement, lie
believed confidently with Mr. Can
non that the party pledges would be
made good anil that the work now
making its way through congress to
that end will be duly successful and
effective.
Everywhere In the city that the
President went today he was greet
ed with demonstrations of much en
thusiasm, engaged in by great
crowds that followed his course front
one place to another. At the Traf
fic club the throng assembled in the
street to see and cheer the President
was so dense that the police were
obliged to spend some minutes In
breaking a way and keeplug It open
for passage of the guests.
All of the several addresess made
by the president during the day
were in most felicitous tone and oc
casioned a great deal of excellent
feeling among his hearers, who were
loud in applause.

Injury to life and limb and dnmage to property, marking the progress ot
the strike called In Philadelphia by disaffected employees of the Philadelphia

stone union. The former association declared that the company was backing
Its rival In order to disrupt the men's organization, but this was denied by

CORPORATION TAX LAW IS
GETTING FULL ATTENTION
Fifteen Actions in Opposition Are
Now Before Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, March 17.—The Supreme Court of the Vnited
States devoted Its time today to hearing arguments for and against the
constitutionality of the cor)K>ratlon tax provision of the I'ayne-Aldrlcli
tariff law.
Fifteen cases Involving the validity of the tax law have heen con*

has given these precedence.
ed a bill In equity to be filed at Hel
ena, Mont., against the company.
The bill asks for a permanent in
junction to compel the company to
operate Its plunt at Anaconda In such
a manner as to end the destruction.
The company has resisted the de
mand of the government that the
methods of smelting be changed and
among other contentions has repre
sented that It would cost millions of
dollars to make the alterations. The
attorney general, however, announces
that the suit will be pressed vigor
ously, unless ns he hopes, the com
pany will cooperate to terminate ex
isting conditions.
At the department of Justice the
statement is made that the suit was
not tiled until every possible friendly
means were exhausted.
On behalf of the Montane Smelters
the contention was made that they
could not convert the fum« into acid
as had been done in Oali!ornta and
Tennessee, because of the vtaolly dif
ferent character.
A full investigation of this claim
by leading experts has satisfied the
government of the feasibility of con

Serious View at First
Taken is Dispelled—Dis
closures in Keene Case
LONDON, March 17.—The direct
ors of the Bank of England at their
weekly meeting today raised the min
imum rate of discount from 3 to 4
per cent. This action was caused
tjy continued foreign demand for
gold, which has considerably deplet
ed the bank’s reserves. These are
now nearly twenty-five million dol
lars lower than at the same time
last year.
NEW YORK, March 17.—An
nouncment here today of the action
of the directors of the Bank, of Eng
land in advancing discount rates had
small effect, having been discounted
yesterday, when the drop In the
stock market was largely attributable
to the development expected at the
meeting of the directors. Comment
discredits serious view taken of the
movement when first anticipated.
NEW YORK, March 17.—While
James R. Keene says that he did not
countenance the sale, nevertheless,
he admitted on the witness stand to
day that the bulk of his holdings In
the Columbus and Hocking Coal and
Iron pool was sold on January 18
and 19, the day before and the day
of the collapse of the pool, which
caused three stock exchange failures
and the loss of millions.
The sale was made when members
of the pool were supposed to stand
firm in keeping their agreement, but
Mr. Keene maintains that he in no
way violated his trust as he was
powerless to stop the liqildation in
view of an understanding made with
his brokers live years ago. He was
asked if he had not profitei by the
sale to the extent of $350,100, but
the question wTas not allowed.
