ELIOT TALKS

Boston, . Mass., . July 1. President
EJmerif us Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard,
today told a reporter that had been
paid' for picking out the thirty- books
for the ''Ave foot Shelf" to be published
by a New York concern. He declared
he had personally eeleoted the volumes,
"I selected this list of books at the
request of the publishing house," said
President Eliot. "It was a commercial
enterprise' upon their part, and I en
tered Into It because I had another mo

is that most people have read the . Bible

nally Intended to be a fifty-book list,
Now any 'good edition of Shakespeare
would take Ave volumes. The Bible
would take three volumes, and these
would be eight gone out of fifty. The
list of books as mentioned is very in
complete. I expect when the task is
finished to Issue twenty more titles
I will try and confine the list to sixty
books."
THE DEFICIENCY
APPROPRIATION BILL
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, July 1. The house
committee on appropriations to-day
will begin the, preparation of a defi
ciency appropriation ; bill, the total
of which, it is now believed, will ap
proximate a million dollars.
Included in this bill will be an
appropriation of 225,000 with which
to pay the traveling expenses of the
president. Other items the bill will
carry are: $80,000 for the equip
ment of hospitals at Ellis Island;
$300,000 to pay the expenses of this
government's participation in the
Brussels' exposition of 1910; $106,-
000 for special assistants to the do
partment of justice; $12,723 to pay
the salary of Oscar B. Hundley, who
served for some time as United
States district judge in Alabama, but
whose nomination failed of conflrma
Hon by the senate, and $4,600 to
pay for the safe-keeping of the em
ergency treasury noteB authorized by
the Vreeland-Aldrich emergency cur
rency law of the last congress.

ration Tax Was Only Brought For
ward as Last Resort to Defeat In
come Tax.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
'Washington, July 1. Whan the
Payne tariff bill is enacted into law
it will not contain the Taft tax on
the income of corporations, but in
stead will provide for an inheritance
tax, said a prominent republican sen
ator to-day who ranks as a lieutenant
to Senator Aldrlcli, the leader of the
senate.
' According to the senator the Taft
corporation tax amendment, which is
now before the senate, will be voted
Into the bill because the president
has requested it, but when the tariff
bill Is sent to conference the house
inheritance tax, also recommended by
the president in his message to con
gress March 15, will be substituted,
this, it is said, will meet with the
approval of the president, as It will
be in keeping with his recommenda
tion. If the senate should vote down
the corporation tax amendment it
would be considered by the country
as a rebuke and a slap at the presi
dent, but its adoption would be an
endorsement just as will the substi
tution In conference of the inherit
ance tax. Of the two forms of taxa
tion the inheritance tax is more pop
ular with the country. The truth is,
as stated by administration senators,
the corporation tax was only brought
forward as a last resort -by President
Taft and Senator Aldrich to beat the
income tax, and in this, It seems, they
have been successful at least for the
present.
The senate met at 10 o'clock. Sena
tor' Borah, of Idaho, continued his
speech against the corporation tax.
Quoting the late Senator Piatt, of
Connecticut, Senator Lodge and others,
to show the Injustice and unconstitu
tionality of such a tax when It was
proposed eleven years ago, Senator
Carter, of Montana, inquired about the
changed attitude of the minority which
at that time supported the tax.
Senator Bailey, replying, said his at
titude was not changed; he was still
for an income tax, but if he failed to
get it would vote for the corporation
tax. Answering a question by Sena
tor Root, he said he believed the cor
poration tax to be constitutional, that
congress had the power to levy it.
and that It could also assess a tax on
all red-headed men if it saw fit.
Continuing, Senator Borah said the
present arguments were not against
the constitutionality, but rather in op
position to the desirability Of the tax.
Senator Bourne, of Oregon, ioi-
lowed Senator Borah, supporting the
corporation tax. He said tfiat its
chief valfte lay in the publicity fea
ture . which would be the beginning
of the federal solution of the trust
question, which combination, he de
clared, h&tf come to stay. He said
President Taft had advocated a cor
poration tax last fall and had not
accepted it as had been charged at
the instance of Senator Aldrich or
any one else, in order to defeat the
income tax.

WATERS-PIERCE
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Dallas, Tex., July 1. Robert E. Eck
ert, state receiver for the Waters-
Pierce oil company, has made public
his official monthly report covering
operations from April 22, the date on
which he took charge, to May 31. The
assets of the company in Texas are
shown to be worth $1,852,143.37. The
not profits of the business as shown
by the cash balance for the five weeks
the state receiver has been In charge
approximate $70,000. This average
would make for the year net profits of
$728,000.
The public has known all along that
large profits were made by the Waters
Pierce company and since the state
took charge the expectation has been
that the price of oil would be lower,
but on the contrary It has been made
higher. The-Texas company recently
Increased its price for oil 2 cents a
gallon. The state receiver is charging
the same price for the Waters-Pierce
product.
This has causd much criticism of
the state's course.

CHINAMAN MET
DEATH EN HIS SHOP
New York, July 1 A Tong war
which is the outgrowth of the Elsie
Sigel murder mystery began today
when Ung Yaw, a Chinese laundry
man, was strangled in his shop In the
basement of 124 Stanton street. Tile
Chinaman's body was found today
by Sadie Markowitz. a three-year-old
child.. The man had been dead only
a few hours when his body was
found. There were signs of a ter
rific struggle in the rooms he occu
pied. There was evidence that he
had been attacked by two or more
men. He undoubtedly fought- ces
perately for his life, becaus tables
and chairs were overturned tnd crim
son stains on the walls told how. he
had leaped about, even when mortally
wounded, in an effort to save him
self. Several points in the murder lead
the police to believe that it has some
connection with the Elsie Sigel mys
tery. Papers found in - Yaw's room
showed that he belonged to a Chinese
Tong, or secret society. There were
also newspaper clippings bearing on
the Elsie Sigel case. .

on the Charge of Conspiracy J.
W. Bailey, Attorney for Justice
Roberts, Unearths the Conspiracy.
Draws a Line Between Good Con
spiracies and Bad Ones Badge' 4
Very Beautiful One Judge Stron
ach Publicly Thanks Acting Chief
Beasley For His Services to the
City.
Ail that takes place in the police
court is not imposing fines, sentenc
ing offenders to the roads, or for
want of sufficient evidence, turning
a defendant loose.
There are sensations,! proceedings
sometimes which attract the curious
to the court room and again public
interest draws an attendance of Ral
eigh's good citizenship to see tha
justice is meted out without fear or
favor; but an unusual and .unique
proceeding took place this morning,
when Raleigh's new chief or police
entered upon the active duties of his
official position.
Just before court was opened the
city attorney asked the court to issue
a capias ad testificandum' for Justice"
H. H. Roberts. The process was is
sued and placed in Chief of Police J,
P. Stell's hands to Be by him person
ally served, and In a few minutes the
chief returned and delivered Justice
Roberts at the bar o the court. .
Justice Roberts requested Judge
Stronach to permit him to look at the
process. It was handed him and af
ter reading the writ Justice Roberts
said:
'May it please your honor:
"Upon reading this process-1 take
it I am brought to the bar of your
court to reveal certain things which
apparently touch closely upon the ele
ments of a conspiracy to temporarily
impede the proceedings of this hon
orable court. Be that as it may,1 to
me, however, it is a pleasure to ap
pear before your honor, and I will
say that it is doubly so, for that I
believe I was brought here by the
first official act of Raleigh's new chief
of police in serving a process of your
court.
It may be true, perhaps, that- I
conceived a scheme, the doings of
which, as I have stated border closely
upon the material elements of a con
spiracy, still the overt act is yet to
be enacted, and that I may not com
mit myself or those associated with
me in this scheme, it may be proper
and prudent that I should say no
more without the advice and direc
tion of my counsel, Hon. Josiah WW
l am Bailey, who will present, with
your honor's indulgence, the nature
of the scheme, Its purpose and make
known to your honor the result Of
the conspiracy, if such It be."
Mr. Bailey arose and addressed the
court: .
May it please your nonor:
"I take it that Raleigh's new chief
of police has made an auspicious be-
his position. He has begun by bring
ing "justice" Into your court In the
person of Raleigh's popular and up-r
right justice, Harry H. Roberts. - As
to the conspiracy with which my cli
ent, the eminent justice, - stands
charged we deem it best td plead
guilty. And I give you notice, that
before this trial la over we will haw
turned the tables on our chief of pi

of counsel or, at least, of some' one
to speak for him. M rtt -'t '

of conspiracy; but we ask the court
to consider that there are two kinds
of conspiracy one against the peace
