ABUNDANT EVIDENCE FOUND
Striker Ilml IMannitl OnmiwlRn of
Intimidation and Violence to
Control Sugar indimtry.
Honolulu, June 15. Fifteen of
the Jaiuuiine strike leaders arrested
upon Indictments returned by the
grand Jury were plven a preliminary
hearing. District Judge W. L. Whit
ney held 12 of them for trial on
charges of conspiring to riot and
three for conspiracy to murder.
The authorities declare the evi
dence adduced before the grand jury
and the papers seized Friday, when
the offlcoa of the JIJi, a Japanese
newspaper, and those of the Japan
ese Higher Wage Association were
raided, furnish abundant grounds
for believing the strikers intended
from the beginning to resort to in
timidation and violence In their ef
fort to control the sugar industry
and eventually the internal affairs of
the territory.
Strong efforts are being made by
the strikers to get the Japanese gov
ernment to make an International
incident of the forcible entry Into
the office of the Japanese news
paper and the seizure of papers by
the sheriff. Leaders in the strike
have appealed to Ambassador Taka
hlra at Washington by cable and de
manded an immediate investigation
of the alleged violation of the treaty
right.
Senlchl Uyeno, the Japanese consul-general,
has advised his country
mon against the men who led the
strike movement from the beginning
of the agitation. He expresses ap
proval of their arrest and prosecu
tion. TO HUNT DOWN MUTINEERS

fAX EARNINGS OF
CORPORATIONS

. sk.;i:stin; plan.
ALSO FAVORS INCOME TAX
Tariff lenders Asked to Attend ta
CorjHirntlon Tax, and States
Will Art on Incomes.
Washington, June 16. President
Taft today sent to congress a mes
sage urging the pnssagn of an
amendment to the tariff imposing
a tax of 2 per cent upon the undis
tributed net earnings of corpora
tions, 'and the adoption of a resolu
tion submitting to the several states
an amendment to the constitution
giving congress the power to impose
a tax on Incomes.
This understanding was reached
at a session of the Cabinet Tuesday
and was approved by Republican
senate leaders, who conferred with
the President.
The President favors an amend
ment providing for a tax on the net
earnings of corporations, not only
because of the added revenue It
would produce, but also because he
believes it would throw a healthy
light of publicity upon the affairs of
corporations.
It has been estimated that a 2
per cent tax on the earnings of cor
porations available for dividends
would yield approximately $20,000,
000 a year, while at the same rate
a tax on all Incomes would yield
from $70,000,000 to $80,000,000.
