Washington. -- President Taft's much heralded corporation tax plan was presented to the senate by Senator Aldrich, chairman of the finance committee and was ordered printed as a committee amendment to the tariff bill. - Briefly stated, the plan imposes a tax of two per cent, upon the net earnings of every corporation, joint 6tock company or association, organ­ ized for profit and having a capital stock represented by shares, and every insurance company, organizer under the iaws of the United States or of any state, territory, or district, or or­ ganized under the laws of any for­ eign country and engaged in business within the United States. Every latitude is given to concerns subject to the tax for the exemption of expenses, cost of maintenance. Che depreciation ot property, debts and the interest thereon, other forms of taxation and all expenditures usually taken from earnings' accounts. Every corporation is also given an exemp­ tion of $5,000 of earnings before the tax shall apply. Commissioner to Collect. All of the machinery relating to the collection, remission and refund of in­ ternal revenue taxes is made appli­ cable to the corporation tax and the responsibility for the enforcement of the proposed lew rests with the com­ missioner of internal revenue in the same manner as other internal taxes. While the corporations are required to supply information of a most inti­ mate character relating to their busi­ ness, provision is made to safeguard them agaiDst wrongful use of data ob­ tained tor the purpose of assessing the tax. Penalties are provided in cases of false or fraudulent re­ turns. Practically every character of in­ corporated institution organized for profit is hrought within the provisions of the corporation tax. Defines Taxable Concerns. The provision defining the concerns from which the tax will be collected is as folows: "That every corporation. Joint stock company or association, organ­ ized for profit anc! having a capital stock represented by shares, and every insurance company, now or here­ after organized under the taws of the United States or of any state or teril- tory of the United States, or under the acts of congress applicable to Alaska or the District of Columbia, or organ­ ized under the laws of any foreign country and engaged in business in any state or territory of the United States or In Alaska or in the District of Columbia, shall be subject to pay anually a special excise tax with re­ spect to the carrying on or doing bust - ness by such corporation, joint stock company or association, or insurance company, equivalent to two percentum upon the entire net income, over and above $5,000, received by it from all sources during such year. "This is exclusive of amounts re­ ceived by it as dividends upon stock of other corporations, joint stock com­ panies or associations, or insurance companies subject to the tax here­ by imposed, or if organized under the laws of any foreign country, upon the amount of net income, over and above $5,000, received by it from business transacted and capital invested within the United States and its territories, Alaska and the District of Columbia, during^ such year, exclusive of amounts so received by it as divi­ dends upon stock of other corpora­ tions, joint stock companies or asso­ ciations or Insurance companies, sub­ ject to the tax hereby imposed. 'Sjuch net income shall be ascer­ tained by deducting from the gross amount of the income of such corpora­ tion. joint stock company or associa­ tion. or insurance company from all sources." WOOD1LL SUYERJ SUICIDE BROKER EASTMAN TAKES OWN LIFE AFTER CRIME. Woman's Career Shrouded In Mystery --Was Attractive and Posed as Lyman Gage's Ward, y.;. & St. Michaels, Md.--Famished forfeited and water, surrounded by armed and determined men and his last chance to escape gone, the man who killed the beautiful May Edith Thompson Woodill fired a bullet into his own heart, thus ending the final chapter of a crime that is unparalleled in the his­ tory of this section' of the country. The finale of the tragic story waa written in the early summer's dawn, as the murderer, at bay, stood in the skiff in which he had made a des­ perate but futile effort to escape and took his life to escape a sure penalty of death for the slaying of a young woman rarely excelled for beauty. Taking his fate into his own'hands and blotting out untold the story ot the death of a girl who had moved in the highest social circles of Balti­ more, Washington and Los Angeles--- a beautiful, talented girl who had been a protege of Lyman J. Gage, and o? former Gov. Frank Brown of this state--the man known here as Emmet E. Roberts, but who in reality was Robert Emmet Eastman, a failed broker of the Consolidated Stock ex­ change of New York, passed beyond the reach of the law, and with his go­ ing there vanished the hope of clear­ ing up the motive and the baffling de­ tails of this strange tragedy. Hemmed in on all sides, Eastman tried to steal out through one of the many branches of the creek but the slight noise of his oars was detected, and the eagle-eyed watchers saw the dark form of his boat over the water. There was a sharp command to halt, which was unheeded; then another command. Then Eastman fired, whether at the posse or at himself is unknown. A letter found upon Eastman's body, addressed to his wife, an actress, known as Vinnie Bradcome, in New York, gave Eastman's ill-sustained excuse for the crime. It was a rambling ac­ count of how he had been out in a launch with a party of men and wom­ en, all of whom had been drinking to excess with the exception of himself and Mrs. Woodill; of how one of the women in a fit of jealous frenzy had attacked Mrs. Woodill with a wine bottle and killed her, leaving him to dispose of the body. St. Michaels, Md.--The motive for the murder of Mrs. Edith May Woodill, former ward of Lyman J. Gage, the police believe, is established by a scrap of paper found Sunday near the bungalow of "Lame Bob" Eastman, her slayer, who, to escape a posse killed himself. The letter was partly destroyed by fire, but, so far as can be made out reads thus: "You were seen in Baltimore Tues­ day; I think the police know." The paper had evidently been placed in the fire, but the flames had failed to totally destroy it. Eastman built a bonfire immediately back of his cabin the day following the murder and burned the victim's clothing along with certain private papers. Later it rained. It was not far from this spot that the letter was found. The letter was placed in evidence at the coroner's inquest Monday. The motive for the deed, it was gen­ erally admitted to have been com­ mitted by the desperate broker which has long baffled the authorities, Is at last plain. Eastman knew he must soon flee from his woodland hiding place for he was wanted in New York on the charge of embezzlement and for jumping his bail. He was insanely in love with Mrs. Woodill who had come into his* troubled life at a time when he most needed a woman's sympathy.

GOULD WINS HER SUIT GETS Woman It Happy pvetr Court Vlndl* cation--Says She Cares Little for Money. New York. -- Justice Dowling in the supreme court decided that the charges of intoxication and Im­ proper conduct against Mrs. Howard Gould had not been proved and grant­ ed the legal separation for which she sued the multi-millionaire son of Jay Gould. With the exception of alimony, her victory was complete, but in this phase of the case the court decided that $36,000 a year was sufficient, al­ though in her suit Mrs. Gould asked for $250,000. She has been receiving $25,000 a year from Mr. Gould, so that the amount fixed by the court is but slight increase compared with the amount sued for. If Mrs. Gould re­ turns to the stage the amount may be reduced. Immediately after the decision, De Lancey Nlcoll, for Mr. Gould, asked for a 60-day stay of Judgment and Clarence J. Shearn, for the plain­ tiff, asked for an immediate judgment. Justice Dowling compromised by making the stay 30 days. Howard Gould hurried from the room as soon as the decision was given and declined to discuss the case. Mrs. Gould left the court with Mr. Shearn and drove away in an automobile. Mr. Shearn, jubilant at the decision, was eager to discuss it. Judge Dowling's decision," he said, is a sweeping and complete vindica­ tion* of MrS. Gould. That has been the object of all this bitter litigation. Mrs. Gould could have compromised for a fortune at any time but would never consider for a moment any­ thing but the opportunity of clearing her name in an open, public trial." Mrs. Gould issued the following statement: I am the happiest woman living because I have been so completely vindicated before the entire world of all these horrible charges. Not one little pang shot through my heart at the smallness of the allowance--only supreme joy and the deepest grati­ tude. I send a thousand loving thanks to all who have helped me." New York Police Farther Away From Clew to Whereabouts as Each Day Passes. New York. -- On tb« tenth day after the discovery of Elsie Si- gel's body and presumably the nine­ teenth day after the crime was com­ mitted, the New York police are obliged to admit that if anything they are a little further from any clew to the whereabouts of Leon Ling, the man who is thought to have killed her, than on the afternoon when her body was found wedged in a trunk in the rooms of a Chinaman in Eighth avenue. They Btlll believe, however, that he is sure to be run down. The information coming from New­ ark that Leon Ling left the trunk in a restaurant there has been substan­ tially confirmed with slight alterations in details and hours; but it only makes the case more puzzling/ It ap-, pears from the books of the Lawrence Cab Company that Li Sing, the res­ taurant keeper, di,d accept the trunk and that he kept it in his place for 12 hours, although he has denied it. James F. Halstead, the Newark cabby who drove Leon and the trunk back after its 12-hour rest in Newark, has positively identified the trunk. Finds Narrlman's Health Better.

SEPARATION AND A YEAR. 43S.0Q0 EXPLOSION KILLS SEVENTEEN Sixteen Others Are Badly Injiired in Pennsylvania Mine Cra«h-^h|£t. . Non-Gaseous. - > Wehrum, Pa.--Further search for bodies was made Thursday in mine No. 4 of the Lackawanna Coal & Coke Company where 17 men were killed and 16 injured Wednesday by the explosion of gas. It was believed that all the bodies had been taken out and that first reports of 66 being en­ tombed were exaggerated. Only one American was killed. Inspector Joseph Williams of Al- toona with a party entered the mine shortly after eight o'clock at night to ascertain whether anyone was yet en­ tombed. All but two rooms of the mite were thoroughly searched and it was an­ nounced that it was thought no more bodies were in the , mine. Coroner Hammers has not yet set the date of an investigation of the explosion. Superintendent A. M. Johnson said that while the mine has; alwajs been regarded as non-gaseous, the explosion was due to the ignition of a pocket of gas by the open lamp of a miner. The mine has only been operating two days each week, Tuesday and Friday, Those in the mine had en­ tered the shaft for their daily allow­ ance of coal for family use.

Coroner Files Verdict In Case Which Twelve Persons Were Killed In Indiana. Valparaiso, Ind. -- Coroner J. C. Carson filed his verdict in the Chi­ cago, Lake Shore & South Bend Interurban line head-on collision, which occurred near Chesterton, Ind.. and in which 12 persons were killed. The coroner says in part: "I find that the cause of said col­ lision was the result of the disobedk ence of a train order to train No. 59 east-bound, which read: 'Meet train No< 58 at Wilson.' I would, therefore, place the entire responsibility of said wreck upon the mismanagement in the operation of train No. 59 for dis­ obeying said order in not taking the siding at Wilson, as the order di­ rected." v No action is recommended in the verdict. D. E. Kinney was conductor of train No. 59. The motor man, George Reed, was killed.

Following the issuance of an order by the department declaring cards of such character to be unmailable un­ less inclosed In envelopes so treated as to prevent injuries to employes, post card dealers began supplying their customers with flimsy transpar­ ent envelopes for inclosing the cards, which has resulted in much difficulty to the department.

Eastman either killed or was accessory to the murder of Edith May Woodill and the declara­ tion of State's Attorney Taylor that he was through with the case, the strange dual tragedy is a closed, but unexplained incident so far as the au­ thorities are concerned. Four of the 12 jurors who listened to the testimony at the reopened, in­ quest r«fused to sign the verdict and the words "or accessory to the crime" were added to the draft, approved by the majority, which bluntly accused Eastman of the murder. None of the four dissenting jurymen would say that any other person than Eastman was responsible lor the woman's death. ^ The letter left by Eastman for hie wife in which he declared that Mrs. Woodill had been killed by a woman in a jealous frenzy was not read to the jury. The officials seemed to take It for granted that all of the evidence unearthed sitice the finding of the body was well known to the residents of the community and that it was unnecessary that it should again be rehearsed. The jury sat for a time in a lonely bungalow itself, within sight of East­ man's unmarked grave not 50 feet away. Mrs. Eastman had visited the place and had stood dry-eyed for a time beside the new-made mound. The final theory of the authorities Is this: That Eastman was in need of money; that he probably had been getting money from Mrs. Woodill for some time; that he undoubtedly knew something of her past life and that he had been blackmailing her; that he attempted to continue this practice and that the woman rebelled, intimating that she, too, had found out certain things about Eastman and that if driven to it would expose him. Eastman's dread of serving a term in the penitentiary is well known. His wife has said that he told her he would rather commit suicide than be confined in prison. The pawning of Mrs. Woodill's jewelry the author­ ities set down to the desire of East­ man to get away. When cornered the man decided that his race had been run and that he had better make an end to it all. Robbing Mrs. Woodill's life of the poor glamor of romance which had been attributed to it and upsetting the theories and beliefs of many of the neighbors as to her parentage, Col. Charles H. Thompson, the man who adopted her, admitted that she was an illegitimate child. The offspring of an unlawful union, she came Into the world gifted with glittering abil­ ity to fascinate*and use men and ex­ ercised this gift to the limit, in the language of some of the. 'neighbors she was a "swift one." W. Scharb, who for years kept a store near here and conducted the post office, saw the girl frequently. He said: "Edith was' a good girl. • It is true that Mrs. Thompson desired to shine as a social leader and used her as a means of gaining entrance to circles to which she would never have been admlted alone, It is true Mrs. Thompson taught her to make herself attractive to men, and especially old men, and wheedled large sums out of them under one pretext or another with which they both traveled and had a good time. "There was one peculiar thing about Edith--she never had any girl friends. Never have I known her to have a girl chum. It was always men--chief­ ly, old men."

He also gave me an oint­ ment which did not help either. The disease spread all over the face and the eyes began to swell. The itching grew intolerable and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doctors for months^ but they were unable to cure the baby. I paid out from $20 to $30 without relief. One evening I began to use the Cuticura Remedies.
