VERMONT FIRM SINGLED Stone-Tracy Company, Retail Con cern of Windsor, Is Corporation Sued to Prevent Kiling State ment of Its Indebtedness. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. The first direct-steps to have the Supreme Court of the United States decide the constitu tionality of the corporation tax Imposed by the Payne tariff act were taken to day, -when the case of Stella P. Flint, as general guardian of the property of Samuel N. Stone, Jr., a minor, against the Stone-Tracy Company, of Windsor, Vt., was filed in the office of the cleric of the court. The property of the minor consists of hares in .the Stone-Tracy Company, a retail mercantile corporation. Suit was brought to prevent the corporation from filing- a statement of its Indebtedness and giving other information in regard to its business, as required of such corpora- tlons before March as a basis for apply ing the tax. It is said the corporation tax provisions of the act are unconstitutional and that the filing of the Information will give an unincorporated competitor an undue ad vantage over It.

The wreck occurred 37 miles west of Sudbury, where the tracks cut into the side 'of a steep 'hill skirted by the river. . The forward part of the train passed over the break, whatever it was. The day coach, the fourth from the end of the train, was the first to leave the rails. Speed Is 40 Miles Hour. The train was running at 40 miles an hour and the momentum carried the car . down the hill in a terrific plunge. About 25 passengers were in this car and it is virtually certain that none escaped. Two minutes after the first crash, only the roof of the day coach showed above floating- Ice in the river. The second-class coach smashed against the end of a culvert and was crushed like 'an eggshell. Passengers Roast to Death. Some passengers were killed out right, but others were caught n the wreckage, which broke into flames, and were roasted to death The strong construction of the din ing car saved its occupants. It followed ' the day coach to the brink of the river but everyone in it escaped without serious injury. The sleeper turned over on its side on the embankment. Several ofHhe train crew in the sleeper escaped with slight injuries. Every man who was able to stand, turned to the work ot rescue. Snow was piled upon the burn ing second-class car and the train crew and the uninjured passengers did heroic work In trying to rescue those pinned in the burning wreckage. Diver Sent to Find Dead. Physicians were hurried from Sudbury as soon as word was received and a wrecking train wiyi General Superintend ent GutuJius made record time from Xorth Bay. Arrangements were made to bring a diver on a special train from Sault Ste Marie to recover bodies from the submerged car. He is now at the wreck.

He has caused the following line to be printed on all his menus: , "Assist in the movement to decrease the price of. meats." A long list of vegetable dishes followed. One hundred and twenty-five mem bers of the May wood Methodist Episco pal Church congregation last night pledged themselves not to eat meat or eggs handled by the packers In the so called meat trust or the local provisions exchange. " Omaha is taking up the same ques tion. Des Moines citizens are freely signing: petitions urging abstention. Word comes from the South that Mem phis, Nashville and Baltimore not only are talking boycott, but are acting upon it. Baltimore has adopted a but ton bearing the legend "I don't buy meat; do you?" This follows a reso lution by the Federation of Labor in dorsing the boycott. Women Clrculat Petitions. The St. Louis Women's Trade Union League Is discussing the subject, and petitions circulated by women advocat ing the abolishment of meat from all tables are being numerously signed. Ohio towns constitute a stronghold for the crusade. The Canton Central Labor Union has adopted a strong resolution. In Cleveland the effect of the movement already is seen in a reduction of 15 cents per 100 pounds in beef prices. Eggs are down. Pork, however, shows no de cline. New England apparently is ignoring the movement, but in New York there is evidence of activity. Scores of laboring men and others are making pledges to abstain from meat for 30 days, while many others are only eating meat once a day. Mrs. Anita Comfort-Brooks, prominent in club circles, has come forward with a suggestion that 1.000.000 housewives' units to force down prices. - Hotel Keepers May Act. " Sam Dutton, president of the Western Hotel Men's Executive Association, said at Denver today that the projected cut ting down of meat consumption will be considered by that body at a meeting to be held here January 31, when the as sociation will be made National. "Unless something is done to curtail the consumption of meat," said .Mr. Dut ton today, "the time is coming when the poor of this country will be no better off than the peasants of Europe. When the people learn they can live just as well, and feel much better and cut down their household expenses by eating mors vegetables, the condition of the working class will be greatly improved. When an effort was made last night to determine how the Union Meat Company of this city would be affected by the contemplated suit, It was found that the president of the company, C. -C. Colt, was out of the city, and the secretary J. C. Good, declared that his company had nothing to do with the companies against whom the suit is to be brought. "I have heard nothing about a plan on the part of the Government to sue the companies mentioned," said Mr. Good, "and I know nothing whatever about the conditions involved." BOYCOTT WOULD HURT RAISERS Western Association Protests That Public Doesn't Understand. DENVER, Jan. 2. The growing move ment to boycott meat has aroused stock men of the West to a protest that the effect of the boycott will be against the stockmen rather than against the packers. Directors of the. Western Stock Show Association, composed of 500 Western stockmen and business men interested in livestock production, tonight adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, There has recently been started in various parts of the country a movement to boycott-the us of meat for food with the Idea that such action will result in lowor prices; Whereas, Thia movement is based on igno rance as to the actual conditions governing the meat aupply of this country; therefore. Resolved. By the Wntatn Stock Show As sociation that we condemn this movement as calculated to discourage an increased pro- ductlon of meat animals. We believe that stockmen and farmers of the X'nlted States should be given every incentive for increased production rather than discouragement. The present prices of meat are caused by the increased demand, due to the growing pop ulation of the country, and the low prices that have heretofore prevalted are" respon sible for the failure of the producer to kaep pare, with the Increase, in population. We call the attaaUon at the public to the Cents Per Pound. - , 1S01 11104 iitui 1910 28 IS IS 2K IS IS 28 IS . . .

With the iBcrease of our population it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to en courage agriculture in every possible way. We assert that the present prices for meats are not unduly high as compared with the advance in prices on ail food products. The present movement to boycott the use of meat food is peculiarly supposed to be aimed at the packers; but in reality it is a blow at the stockman and farmer and if. calculated to decrease production rather than mater ially reduce prices. It Is assserted that a number of live stock organizations are preparing to pro test and call attention to the danger of depleted production' which will follow the present movement.

The switch ing of the public limelight on this trust reveals the fact that consumers in this city are paying a third more for their meat now than consumers in either Port land, Salt Lake or Denver. In view of the fact that this trust, as well as many others, eist, consumers have indicated they are willing to attempt to cut down the present high prices of living by the launching of a co-operative store, pur chasing goods by wholesale and selling to consumers who are stockholders.
