ARGUE WITH TUFT TO DECREASE THE CORPORATION TAX Republican Leaders Last Night and Today Try to Convince Executive That Per Cent Is Too High. GO TO WHITE HOUSE TO PRESENT REASONS Argue That Two Per Cent Tax Is Too High as It Would Burden Treasury With Unnecessary Money. Washington, June 21. Fearing that a 2 per cent levy upon the earnings of corporations would burden the nation al treasury with millions of dollars not needed by the government the republican members of the senate finance committee argued long and hard today trying to convince President Taft that the tax should be lessened. The . republicans, primed with figures and statistics called on the president at the White House last night subsequet to a visit from Senator Root upon the president. While Attorney General Wickersham was not present It wae said that he would arrive In Washington today to take part in subsequet conferences upon the subject of corporation tax. Would Yield $50,000,000. - The president first estimated that the tax would accrue a revenue of $15,000,000, but today this figure was augmented to $50,000,000. following arguments of the finance committee. This would be more than needed. The White House and senate leaders are agreed, it is confidently whispered today, over the unwisdom of making an attempt to reach the bonds of corporations or money set aside on account, of bonds. This was brought about by fear that the constitutionality of the entire measure would be jeopardized by such a step. The president favors a clause in the corporation " tax exempting corporations from the tax whose net earnings fall below a figure say $50,000,000. The general opinion prevailing today among committee members is that it would be unwise OFFICIALS PLAN . A FISHII1G TRIP Penny and Jordan Want to Get Into Jungles. - County clerk Penny and county su perintendent. Jordan are planning for a week's camping trip with their fami lies.

ACTiOII STARTED

TODAY AGAIHST' SUGAR COMBIIIE Government Attorneys, Coun sel for Trust, and Pennsylvania Sugar Company Receiver, Give Testimony. APPEAR BEFORE THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY Attorney General Wickersham Has Ordered That the Case Be Pushed Fast and With Greatest Vigor. New York. June 21. The govern ment's main attack on the , Sugar Trust, to which its previous actions were but preliminary, and in a meas ure, incidental,'' began today when the government attorneys, the counsel for the trust and receiver George H. Earte, of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company, appeared before the federal grand Jury in a proceeding brought against the trust for alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust law in the endeavor to prove the trust Lcriminally culpable and to have it penalized as such. Receiver Earle appeared in respect to a subpoena as did his counsel and witnesses in the suit brought by the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining com pany against the trust. One of the subpoenas called for the production in this proceeding of the documents used In the Pennsylvania company's suit, including the stock books of the company and practically all of the cor respondence between Adolph Segal and. Gustav Kissel, used in that suit. Must be Pushed. Attorney General Wickersham Is understood to have instructed the government's attorneys that the case against: the sugar, trust Trnisr be-Trash-ed as hard and fast as possible. Aside from the' fact that President Taft is generally understood to have spurred the department of iustice to get after this self-avowed corporate offender, it is believed that the severe strictures placed upon the department by Re ceiver Earle, who recently declared there was no possibility of getting jus tice under the present administrations of the department, made the attorney general smart until he determined to answer it. by deeds rather than, words. Mr. Wlckersham's trip to w York last week, although primarily to at tend the wedding of his son, is under stood to be given over in part to confer ence with the government attorneys here in which he impressed . upon them that the reputation of the de partment was more or less concerned in holding the sugar trust to the bar justice as a proved criminal offender. The present Investigation undoubt edly will deal as such with the' sugar trusts methods' as revealed in the Pennsylvania company's suit as with the weighing frauds. At the timei government accepted . heavy restitution for those frauds it specifically re served the right to prosecute the trust criminally at any time the administration might see fit s ' - The present, it would appear, the administration has come to recognize as the psychological moment.

BELIEVE PEARY HAS DISCOVERED

THE (10RTH POLE Friends of the Great Arctic Explorer , Are Confident That by This Time He Has Reached Goal. DEPARTED FOR NORTH NEARLY A YEAR AGO No News Has Been Received From Him Since He Left Etah, North Greenland, August of Last Year. Washington June 21. Friends in this city of Commander Robert Ed win Peary, United States Navy, the explorer, who left the United 8tates last July for the frozen north, say they believe Peary by this time has reached the goal of his ambition and has successfully planted the Stars and Stripes at the north pole. No news has been received from Peary since he left Etah, North Greenland, Aug. 17. 1908, in the stanch ship Roosevelt for a dash at far into the icebound seas as that specially built vessel would carry him before being frozen in by the winter's cold. If he has been successful is at taining this much sought goal the news of this discovery will not reach a point of telegraphic communication until August or September next. If he has been unsuccessful he ..will re main In the far north, and make another endeavor next spring. ; Good Supply of Dogs. When Peary left Etah last August he said in his last message that the members of his party were all well, and that he had procured a good sup ply of dogs. He hopwd tewlntee jthe Roosevelt off the north eoast of Ellesmereland, about 420 miles from the pole. From this point the sled journey was to have begun early last February with an expedition of twentyfive sleds, each : drawn by . six dogs with an Eskimo driver. . - It is possible that the . Roosevelt, which left Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 7 last, after having been . inspected and bidden goodspeed by President Roosevelt may have penetrated farther Into the north than was expected, and that Peary was able 'to establish his winter quarters nearer the pole than he was able In previous expeditions. Roosevelt Stanch Vessel. The Roosevelt Is manned by a pick ed crew, made up of men accustomed to arctic navigation. She was designed especially for this work in the severe conditions of the arctic seas, and is considered the strongest wooden vessel ever built. It was Peary's plan to go into wint er quarters in temporary houses on shore as soon as the Roosevelt waa frozen in. From that time until Feb ruary the members of the party were to prepare the outfit for the aled expedition to the pole. On his last expedition Commander Peary succeeded in getting within 174 miles of the north pole, making , the farthest north record yet attained latitude 87 degrees minutes.
