Senator Elkins seconded Senator Lodge's efforts in behalf of the tax, making a vig- orous speech and working zealously for the proposition. It is now- understood that the amendment will also previde for a stamp 1ax on all issues of stock, whether when a company is originally formed or it subse- quently enlarges its issue. The rate sug- gested is five cents per $100 of stock. The suggestion was that a tax of 2 cents per share should be levied upon every share of stock sold at a stock exchange or at any other place, and that a similar tax of two cents should be collected upon all bonds sold on the stock exchanges or elsewhero. The caucus accepted the suggestion, but de- cided to leave the formulation of the amendment, with possibly a change of rates, to the finance committee. A rough estimate places the amount of revenue the provision will furnish at $7,- 000,000. How the Tax Will Operate. The amendment provides that every is- sue of stocks or bonds shall be stamped with a two-cent stamp, and that every sub- sequent transfer of each share of stock shall ‘also be similarly stamped or the transaction shall be null and void. There was some discussion over the rate of the tax, and this was left to be finally settled by the finance committee. The tax affects not only the investor, but the speculator in stocks and bonds, ‘and, as Mr. Lodge says, “‘it is of interest to the investor, for he being a wealthy man would rot attempt to dodge the tax and in- velidate his transaction, while as to the speculator, we do not care about him.” ‘The tax applies to every transaction on the stock exchanges, ard the tax has to be paid on every share bought and sold. The tax will amount to $2 on every block of 100 shares, and that will be about one- twelfth of the full ccmmission of one- fcurth on such transactions. As the caucus authorized Senator Lodge to draw up the amendment, he has done so, making the rate 2 cents on every share. This he will submit to the finance com- mittee, and in all probability it will be re- ported to the Senate unchanged. What Many Think. It 1s the opinion of many of the senators that the adoption of this amendment solves the question of “‘bucket shops,” and that it will eventually drive them out. of the business of placing the stamp af legitl- macy on every transaction made by them. When Senator Lodge was aske@ft if this stamp tax would not clog the machinery of the exchanges, where celerity was. one of the requisites of, busincss; he! replied that he did not think so, because it would be only necessary to tix the’ stamp on stocks and bonds as they passed ftom hand to hand. ane As to the collection of tH’ (Ax, it is thought that it will collect itseli with- out the stamos the certificatka and bonds would be worthless, and so self-defense both parties would see that ¢he.¢ax was paid, by the affixing of the stamps. Adverse ta Discussipnii The fact that the senator# ¥enttally do not understand the amendmengmmakes them shy in discucsing it and it#"chinces of adoption. The fear that it wit, mot catch the speculative element, buf only. affect legitimate transactions, seems. to make many of the senators hesitate about its feasibility; but Senator Lodge's own ex- planation shows that it catches this very class, and will operate for the good of real investors, and when he has:a chance to demonstrate this, it is thought that the amendment will grow in favor. It is al- most impossible now to predict its exact It Wa fate in the Senate, An Assignment. __ The Pate Hardware and: Harness Com- pany, a Virginia corporation éngaged in business here, has made an~ assignment to George G.

Eight Watermanship and Won With Ease Cornell's Showed Superior by Ten Lengths, Columbia Seco! The four-mile university boat race oppo- site Poughkeepsie, on the Hudson, was started at 7:18 last night and was won by Cornell. Columbia finished ten lengths be- hind, and there was no third, for Pennsyl- vania was swamped and sank in rough water a short distance after the two miles had been covered. The time of Cornell was remarkably fast, considering the adverse conditions, 20 minutes 47 4-5 seconds, with Columbia tailing along in 21 minutes 20 2-5 secorids, or 32 3-5 seconds in the rear. For the second time in three years the Pennsylvania shell was swamped on the course, and the red and blue was removed from the contest. The race was in every way unsatisfactory and disappointing, ex- cept for the beautiful rowing of the Cor- nell eight. After the first mile there was no race. At 6 o'clock, the hour named for the start, the water was unfit for eight-oared shell racing. For an hour the referee, H. 8. Reynolds, delayed calling the crews to their positions, all the while consulting with the three judges as to whether they favored rowing over such a course. During this hour the wind died down perceptibly, and when the referee's yacht Clara steamed down through the bridge for a final survey at about 6:0 it was found that the last two miles had calmed down considerably, and were not too rough for a fair test of watermanship. But when the steamer returned to the upper end of the course the first mile and a half was still tossing uneasily, and the launches of the crews, which were waiting round the start, were noticeably rolling broadside to the swell. The Columbia judge was very hot for starting from 6 o'clock right on for an hour and a quarter. The Cornell judge, Professor Wheeler, re- fused to advise the referee to call the crews out as long as Pennsylvania was object- ing. His position was that Cornell would refuse to urge the starting of the race as long as one of the other colleges did not favor it. Coach Courtney was on his Jaunch and was dead set against rowing in such rough water, as were the members of his crew. Capt. Spillman and Stroke Briggs said, while they waited with their shell in tow, that the water was not fit to test fairly the merits of the three crews. ‘At last Mr. Bond, representing Pennsyl- vania’s interests, gave in, and agreed shortly after 7 o'clock to a start. The referee, Mr. Reynolds, had been cf the opinion that the water was all right, and talked in this strain. An Interfering Steamer. Just as the crews were lining up to the start the big river steamer Jacob H.,Trem- per came at full speed down the Hudson. When she was a mile away all of the launches, the referee yacht and the police tug began to whistle warning signals, and several of them hastened across the river to head her off. But the Tremper listened neither to the whistles nor to the com- mands shouted by the referee, and slowed to half speed enly for a quarter of a mile as she passed the start. Pennsylvania jumped away with a ter- ritic start, shoving her shell well ahead of Columbia, with Cornell getting away in very easy fashion and apparently not both- ering about a racing start. The Ithacans were last in order when the long journey Legan, but they have learned of late that the race fs not won In the start. The Quakers when they settled down were going 34, Cernell 34, Columbia 32. For ®@ quarter of a mile Pennsylvania held a lead of a quarter length. Although the water was very rovgh, Boyle's crew was going splendidly and the watermanship was surprisingly gcod. Both Cornell and Columbia had pumps in the shells, worked by the foot power of the coxswain, and were able to clear the water out as fast as it splashed in over the wash board. When the mile was reached Pennsylvania began to get in trouble. The outriggers close to the water in the low-lying shell were throwing up spray very frequently and pulling through such rough water had begun to tell sadly on the form of the men. Pennsylvanin Rescued. At the two-mile point a thousand people were saying, “They're sinking, they're sink- ing.” “Poor fellows, isn’t it a pity?” “There they go.” “They can't pull a dozen strokes more.” Just as the boat was about to founder, the Ben Franklin came to the rescue wit Ellis Ward or the bow, a picture of sorrow and disappointment. The launch steamed alongside and the men were picked up, sev- eral of them already swimming with their band on the outrigger. Meanwhile Cornell pulled ahead and won with ease. Cornell's Offer. At the Cornell boat house, it was stated by Prof. Wheeler that as soon as Pennsyl- vania had been put out of the race he went to Mr. Bond and offered to row the race over again. “I did not think it a fair test of the crews today and Cornell will feel more satisfaction if Pennsylvania will accept our offer to meet again under better condi- Ulons,”” said Prof. Wheeler. To this véry courteous offer, Mr. Bond replied that he would hardly feel justified in accepting such a proposition without consulting the rowiug men, and that he himself could not officially consent. The Cornell crew elected Coxswain Fred Colson captain. The men then wandered off to spend the remainder of the evening in various forms of celebration over their victory. Enthusiasm at Ithaca. About 1,200 citizens of Ithaca, N. Y., and a few Cornell students waited confidently for news from Poughkeepsie, last evening, and they were not disappointed, except in the fact that the water was rough and the time consequently slow. The crowd was disappointed that Pennsylvania did not finish, and surprised at Cornell's over- whelming victory. Three victories in eight days is a record for any college to be proud of, and the people of Ithaca join with Cor- nellians in their rejoicing. While the enthusiasm was great, people were contenting themselves with a modest demonstration. Many of the buildings are elaborately decorated in readiness for the reception to the crews tonight. The boys will be carried to decorated floats on their arrival and a big parade along illuminated and decorated streets will f@low with an elaborate display of fireworks. After the parade the crews will be the guests of honor at a banquet to be ten- dered them by the citizens of Ithaca. Among the persons who have accepted in- vitations to be present are ex-Gov. Cornell, Lieut. Gov. Woodruff and President Schur- man of Cornell University. ——___ Installation of Officers. The officers of Covenant Lodge, No. 13, I. O.

Before the Mayor Charged With Attempted Abduction, Monday to Be Observed as a Natio: Holiday—Program of Exer- clses at Del Ray. In the Police Court today Mayor Simpson had before him John Cornell, charged with the attempted abduction of Miss Eva Ar- rington, daughter of Alfonzo Arrington, a well-known resident of the northeastern section of the city. Last night Arrington appeared at the station house and asked for a warrant, charging that Cornell had made an attempt to abduct his daughter, and stated that his daughter had packed her trunk early yesterday afternoon and had it sent to the A. and F. depot. The po- lice found Miss Eva and her trunk at the depot and sent both home. Cornell claimed to be totally innocent of the charges, and claimed that as soon as he learned that the police were looking for him he proceeded to headquarters, where he gave himself up. Mr. Cornell, when seen by the reporter for The Sar, reiterated his denial, and said he had not written the note which was vrinted in one of the morning papers; that, as a matter of fact, he could not write at all. Cornell sald also he had never boarded at Arrington’s house, as stated, and knew nothing of Miss Arrington leav irg home. He said that he and his wife rad separated about a year and a half ago. ‘Cornent was represented by Mr. Brent, while Commonwealth's Marbury presecuted the case.

I do not wish it to be understood that there are any members of the cor- poration whom it ts desired to get rid of, and if the amendment is adopted by Con- eress I am quite sure that all the members of the present corporation will be elected trustees. As the government of the university now stands, it is a sort of two-headed ar- rangement. There is the board of tru tees, which meets quarterly and transac the business of the institution. this there is the board of ov which meets once a year, and, while it has the power of review of the work of the trus- tees, it has not for several vears past done anything more than meet and formally ap- Prove what the trustees have done, “We have found that if we are to keep abreast of the great institutions of learning of the day, we must change this system of government, and, instead of having tru tees who are appointed for life, arrange matters so that one-third would go out of office each year. It is to be presumed that while not a single member of the corpora- tion can be charged with any dereliction of duty, the fact that a man’s re-election de- s Besides rs, pended somewhat on his faithfulness to duty would be something of an incentive for him to put forth his best efforts in be- half of the institution. “Again, we have found that when our friends have solicited wealthy men to con- tribute to the fund for the endowment of the Columbian University, the objection has been raised by some who were Bap- tists that there was nothing in the charter which could positively determine that the Columbian was a Baptist institution. “As a matter of fact, there is no great institution of learning in the country, un- less it has been established with a great endowment like Johns Hopkins, the Uni- versity of Chicago, and a few others that could be named, or have not a state to back it, that can get along without being distinctively connected with some denomi- nation. “It is well understood that Harvard is controlled by the Unitarians, Yale by the Congregationalists, Princeton by the Pres- byterians, and Columbian by the Baptists, and yet, in the case of the latter, there is nothing in the charter which indicates this. It is not intended to make “any change whatever in the faculty or the policY of the institution, and the move has been made simply to enable us to appear just what we are for the future.” _—— Holiday Hours at Post Office.
