Talks on Corporation Tax.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 22. President
Taft In Denver Inst night. In the audi
torium where a year ago Mr. Prynn
was nominated as his opponent in the
presidential race, faced a crowd of
thousands that in Its noisy welcome
and continuing enthusiasm, recalled
some of the scenes of convention
week.
President Taft, switching from his
purpose to discuss the question of the
conservation of natural resources In
his Denver speech, elected to lake up
the corporation tax passed ns a part
of the Payne tariff bill and to defend
it against the proposition to Impose n
direct income tax, which he acknowl
edged seemed likely to pass the sen
ate when the corporation tox was de
vised as a compromise. The presi
dent strongly urged that all the states
should ndopt the proposed amend
ment to the constitution, however, to
make an income tax possihlu in time
of need.
Mr. Taft was Joined here by the
secretary of the Interior, Mr. Tlnl
linger, who will accompany him on
a part of the trip through the far
northwest, .,
The president declared that the cor

form of Income tax that could be
levied and pointed out that It con
tained many of the best features of
the Income tax law of England.

vote for the amendment to the con
stitution permitting the levy of a di
rect income tax without apportion
ing the proceeds among the states
according to their population, the
president declared that It would he
possible so to amend the corporation
tax as to Include within its scope
every desired feature of an Income
tax except the levy upon Incomes de

PARDON FOR THE DEAD
Facts in the Case as to Floyd Martin,
Which Has Caused
Comment
Gazette-News Iliireau,
Chamber of Commerce Itomns,
llolomun Hullding,
llalelgh, Sept. !2.
Many of the newspapers are having
something to say about the case of
Kloyd Martin, who was killed In Vir
ginia and whose brother asks purdon
for the dead man in so far as relief
from the payment of tho Hne of $70
Is concerned. Since there has Jieen
errors about this case, which was cor
rectly reported by your correspondent,
and since there have been comments
as to the judge's action In the case, it
Is well to give the dt-lulls.
Kloyd Martin was convicted In
February of Inst year, In Caldwell
county, of assault with a deadly weap
on upon John Jenkins, who wns shot
In the hand, and who It la said llrst
threw a stone at Martin. The hitter
was sentenced to Jail for SO days and
to Day a fine of $75 and cost. He
served his Jail sentence and procured
an extension of six months time In
which to pay the Hne and cost. Ills
brother secured the county for the
fine and costs by mortgage on his
land. Floyd Martin then went to Vir
ginia to work for a lumber company,
In order to earn money to pay the fine
and cost. He had paid the cost when
tin was killed by one of his fellow
workmen.
His brother took before the trial
Judge the matter of securing relief
from the Hne. but the juuge neciueu
that he had no authority for this re
mittance, and so the case passed - on
ud to Oov. Kltchln, who consuitea At
torney-Qeneral Bickett. who gave an
opinion that the governor did not have
authority to remit or pardon in a ense
where the defendant was dead. So,
therefore, the brother will have to
mv the fine. The case Is reany a
strikingly odd one. and nothing like it
Is on the record of this state.

So Cook Declares His Unofficial Wcl-
"come in Brooklyn Tumultously
Enthusiastic.
New York. Sept. 22. Home," will
not mean rest Tor lr. Frederick A
Cook, for weeks to come. The man
who says ho was llrst at the north pole
arose this morning to begin n day of
hard work. Piled In the silting room
of his BUlte at the Waldorf-Astoria
wcro ' nearly ' 1000 letters and tele
grams from all parts of the world, to
many of which he must give immedi
ate attention.
Thus far, all that Cook has nuu'o
known referring his plans for tin
future is the fact tb:it lie will make
a trip through the western states,
during which ho will lecture. The
explorer has milled nothing more defi
nite to tho remark be let fall yester
day to the effect tli.it he expected to
meet Commander Peary soon, face to
face. It Is supposed he meant noth
ing moro than that Peary would
shortly be in New York and condi
tions would be right for personal dis
cussion and settlement of their rival
claims.
New York, Sept. 22. "I have come
from the pole, I have brought my
story and my data Willi me. I have
not come home to enter Into argu
ments with one man or DO men, but
am here to present a clear record ol
a piece of work over which I have a
right to display a certain amount ol
pride.
"I am willing to abide by the flnn!
verdict of competent Judges. That
ilone can satisfy ine mid the public.
"Furthermore, not only will my re
ports be Is'fore yen in Mack and
while, but I will also bring to Amer
ica human witnesses to prove that 1
have been to the pole."
Hueh is the sum and substance of
the llrst message Iir. lcderick A.
Cook brought home in person to
America, answering his crtllcs the
world over.
At 5 o'clock yesterday the explorer
was on deck of tho Oscar H., which
had purposely been held back yester
day, not to disarrange the reception
plans of the Arctic club of America,
but leaving Fire Island shortly ntfer
midnight sho nosed her wny into
quarantine nt nn hour too early for
everybody but Dr. Cook.
There wns an anxious wait at quar
antine while the tugs bobbed ner
vously nbout. the newspnper men on
board shouting queries through meg
aphones at the black sides of tho Os
car II., high above them.
A speck In the distance began to
assume dimensions. Presently It was
recognizable as tho tug bearing Mrs.
Cook and her two daughters. Quickly
the tug came alongside and while the
heavy swell running ground her fen
ders against the plates of her big sis
ter, Pr. Cook clambered nimbly down
Jnenb's ladder and with no concern
for the cameras trained on him, made
a rush for his wire. For the moment,
he even missed the children. swho
stood a few feet awny, until his wife
silently 'led him to them. Then, as
he lifted his youngest daughter to his
shoulder, the silent, watching crowd
that lined tho rails of the Oscar II.
broke Into a storm of cheers.
As Dr. Cook finally stepped ashore
It was noticeable thnt no representa
tive of the nation, the state nor the
city was there to greet him. Bird 8.
Cnler. nresldent of the borough of
Brooklyn, had welcomed him on the
flrand Republic for that borough, but
the city of New York sent no repre.
sentntlve. But sincere and enthuslns'
tie to the point of tumultotisness, his
welcome may be best descrllied as a
'nelchhorly affair, devoid of official
significance. .
