Baldwin Locomotive, which under- went considerable profit taking in the first hour and declined about a point, recovered most of its loss. Other equipments were firm. Changes in the greater part of the list were upward at the close. Other markets were about as feature- less as the stock market. Foreign exchange rates were slightly easier. A.

The proposal that stock sales be made to stand an additional tax of one-fifth of 1 per cent. resulted in a storm of protest. Now that the full details of the tax plan are known, the state of mind of the financial dis- trict may properly be called hysteri- cal. vestment dem nd that, in short, the security markets will virtually be stifled. Because of the high interest rates prevailing during the last several years many large corporations that have needed money for expansion and development purposes have been un- able to raise it on a basis that would Prove profitable, Recently money rates have relaxed and corporations have been able to borrow funds at a more reasonable rate. Important de-+ velopment plans which mean so much to the revival of business have been drawn up. These developments un- questionably would result In a heavy revenue (o the Government through Present taxes, but if the tax on saieq of stocks and bonds as now proposed by the Ways and Means Committee of the House is enacted into law, busi- ness incentive would be stifled to the extent that the Government would lose at least a quarter of a million dollars in order to collect approxi- mately $60,000,000 which it proposed to raise through the additional tax on sales of stocks and bonds. And the estimate of a quarter of a million dol- lars is conservative. It was at first suggested by Chair- man Fordney of the Ways and Means Committee that sales of stock be taxed one-fifth of 1 per cent., or $20 for each hundred shares. This was in addition to the present tax of $4 for each hundred shares, Under the original recommendation of the Chair- man of the Ways and Means Commit- tee @ person buying and selling 100 shares of stock would have to pay, in commissions and taxes, $54. Such a tax against an investor or trader would naturally result in a practical suspension of public participation in the security markets. Under the new plan of the Ways and Means Committee the additional tax on sales of securities is reduced to one-tenth of 1 per cent., or $10 for each hundred shares, The proposal of a reduced tax has in no wise lessened the storm of protest. Com- mission brokers as well as bankers believe that it will be to the great detriment of the business interests of the country. The most the Ways and Means Committee expect to raise from the tax on sales of securities is approxi- mately $60,000,000, There probably fs not a leadt banker in Wall Street who does not believe that if IN THE REALM OF MUSIC eae Joseph Schwarz, Opera Bari- tone, Gives Song Recital | in Aeolian Hall. Aside from the proposal to raise a theoretical $60,000,000 through the sale of stocks and bonds, there are various other features of tax pro- posals which are immensely disturb- ing to the financial district. Still another severe blow to the financial district is the proposal to tax individual profits of corporations 2% per cent. Much confusion will naturally exist as to how such a tax would be computed, Curci’s best. Greater experience and are what this American tenor requires and he picks up with each successive performance. Mer. De Luca of course was an artistic Rigoletto and Flora Perint and Leon Rothler were other principais. Strauss's “Salome” with Miss Gar- den in the title role, supported by the same cast as on last Saturday night, was the Chicago Company's offering. The opera received a smoother pro- duction than on that occasion, but was still a good way from being im- pressive, By Frank H. Warren. i Busy days for Joseph Schwarz, the Russian baritone, who owes al- legiance to the Chicago Opera Coni- | pany, Not ccntent with singing In “Tannhauser" Wednesday, and wn- ning a wealthy widow, Mrs. Clare Slelcken, Thursday, and getting mar- ried to-day, he filled in his spare time by giving a recital last evening in Aeolian Hall. Four groups of songs by Brahms, Schumann, Max Knowal H ski, Moussorgsky and Gretchaninot: comprised his proxramme, Mr. Nehawarz's votce, in volume, was more than a match for Aeollan Hull, still, he skilfully restricted it to proper proportions, and did some very good singing. His dramatic in- tinct is apt to burst its bonds at times and distort the form of the song, which, perhaps, »s prefereble to being monotonous. Mr. Schwarz's tone was generally good and true to pitch and was susceptible to a dash of color when called upon. He put considerable feeling, tenderness and emotion into his work and thorough- out delighted his audience. An ap- precint': r was his bride. Luerezia Bori being absent in At- Jantic City, recovering from her cold, Marie Sundelius will sing Micaela in to-night's performance of ‘*Carmen’’ at the Metropolitan.

He is strenuously op- posing these taxes and so bitter has become the opposition to these par- ticular levies that they are not in- cluded in the list of thone agreed to in the informal conferences between Senate and House members, “They would only constitute a fur, ther discouragement to business, Smoot sald. “Instead of inducing business men and wealthy inyestore to put their money into productive enterprise—to invest it in the securi- ties. of producing corporations, to pour into real estate development, into new channels of business—such taxes would drive money out of pro- ductivity and into tax-exempt #ecurt- ties. What we must do is get more money into circulation—ut work—to put business on its feet., “You can’t continue to make bust- ness bear the burden of taxation and expect business to improve. The whole principle is bad. We are tax- ing business so nobody will try to dy anything. Men won't put their money Into business enterprises if they know they are going to be taxed to death. To enact the House pro- gramme as submitted to us yesterday would simply serve notice en busl- ness that we proposed to put the screws on harder than ever.” Senatorial objections, it is satd, were effective in killing a proposal to place a tax of $5 on each Stock Ex- change transaction involving 106 shares or less, regardless of value, and substituting an increased tax ap- piled on the amount Involved in the transaction, as at present. What worrles Congressman moat is the prospect that whatever new taxos are Imposed will have to be retained for several years, or others subati- tuted, in order to finance the bonus, That this fact is also sinking in throughout the country ts indicated by a deluge of letters and telegrams protesting against the tax programmo, cescquevapitieieediegen FLAMES IMPERIL FOUR IN UNION SQUARE BUILDING.

Upon him the man Batoche, }viston of Drace's countenance came, ” it seemed, with a startling flash. In- hacia tae iad stantly he fell back through the cane Drace took the paper and hastened] fringe into the bayou. Loudly he cried into the summer house. ‘The note was,brief, but full in the for help. expre: m of what had befallen Na- ‘dine, seeming to throb with the telling of it: “As soon an you can, my love! one, you must come to me to take 10 from the man I thought my father, but who ts the awful brute. Yeater- day he called me a she-wolf and told ine I am not his daughter; and when he told me my heart was light, for then I have not within me the mur- derer's blood, Come not alone, Virgil, for Tony will be here, and both of them watch, T am locked a prisoner in my reom, and to-morrow they take me to Memphis to make mo marry Monsteur Boyce. But I fear not so long as 1 know you come.” Quickly Drace slipped up to his room, buckled on his pistol, found a rope, looped it with # hangman's noose and tucked it beneath his cout. Nadine was not Stepho's daughter; now he was free to act! No one saw him, not even the watchful Tycle, and he hastened to- ward Willow Head, not having found fa boat at the landing. Never had the “implored the old man, “please he'p heem queek. Ho can no swim, An’ he dle befo’ hee# sins they was forgive. He'p the po’ wretch, monsieur. Queek, monsieur.” ‘Virgil threw off his coat and his pistol belt, and leaped into the water. A moment before he would have shot the beast; now he would save him. ‘Tony was not in sight. But soon he arose, swimming, and Drace saw a knife In his hand, In the water Tony was as much at home as ao beaver. He dived, and Virgil knew now that it was his aim to dart be- neath Wim and with the knife to rip him as a skilifal swimmer rips a crocodile. But in the water the strong man, young Drace, was at home, too, and turning about with a autck swirl he watted. Tony came up; and now they came toward each other, like rival otters—grappled and struggled, treading water, shoulders up. ‘Virgil caught Tony's left wrist, wrenched his arm limp and helpless, |selzed him by the throat, his left hand steel-gripped about the mur- derous right wrist, the knife hand. No merey now! Fire and water, their game! Down, gasping, down! The head beneath the surface, the hand ati! out, striving to stab. Slowly the hand opened; the knife dropped; the hand closed—halt river seemed so broad, the current #0 /opened, was limp, Drace turned swift, At last his canoe touched in| loose hin grip. The body sank. Virgil swam ashore and came drip- poe out of the cane, The old man spoke: ‘ony!
