TAFT'S CORPORATION TAX PLAN.
President Taft' s colporatlon lax bill
is now before the Senate and the poo-
Lilla have a chance to see what it is, to

of the inquest, investigation of the
tragedy will be carried forward by the
law officers of the state and (ouuty
with undlminlshed energy.
Theories as to how, when and why
the mllrdcr was committed are built
up and torn down again at random.
The authorities give no credence to a
report circulated last night that East
man tried to induce Mrs. Woodill to
elope to Europe with him and that be
killed her when she rcfuscd This re-
port went on to state that Eastman' s
hiding place had been dist-,ovcred and
that it was necessllly for him ligaln
to take flight
As a. matter of fact, Eastman was
In financial straits, and did Ilot have
money enough to take himself to Eu‘
rope, to say nothing of the girl, nor
is there indication that Eastmau's
identity was about to be discovered by
the authorities. Neltbcr the Baltimore
police. nor the man's Ill-Igllbors
thought he was a fugltlw- from justice

he had other visitors It the bungalow
either at the time or just pliol to the
tragedy.
These men are anxious tllnt the
mystery of the launch containing two
women and three men, which was
seen coming out of ilroad Creek, on
which the bungalow is located, shall
be cleared up. ’l‘llrec wine and two
whiskey glasses which had been used
were found in the bungalow snbsc»
queut to the murder. in spite of the
stories of many gay parties and much
drinking at. the bungalow, no one can
be found to say that they ever saw
Eastman take a drink, either of wine
or whisky.
Members of the coroner’s jury Ill-
timated somewhat \‘IlgIIl-Iy today that
the investigations illto the identity of
persons seen In the launch coming out
of Broad Creek on Sunday may tend
to an arrest at any moment. iiuw‘
ever, so far as thc public knows. more
is nothing tangible to absolve East-
man from the death of Mrs. Woodill.
Nothing is known of the alleged dis-
covery of a partly blil'llt'd note which
Is said to have warncd mstluan that
his presence in Baltimore last Tucs-
day was known to the police.
it was said today that a witness has
been found who will testify that East-
mau told him he had known Mrs.
Woodill for some time prior to her
marriage to the has Angelou automo-
bile dealer. and that he had visited her
at her home in California.
Several electrical storms have swept
the eastern shore since last night, and
torrential rains have fallen. Light-
ning last night split a big. tree within
one hundred feet of the grave whcrc
Eastman llcs buried.
The bungalow where the Inquest is
to be held today is seven miles from
here it was stripped of all its fur~
niture late Saturday by the sheriff of
the county on an attachment for debt
sworn out by a flrnl of Ellstou Incr-
chants to whom Eastman was indebt-
ed for a pump. The action of the
sheriff III disturbing the interior of
the cabin prior to the conclusion of
the coroner‘s inquest may be called to
the attention of the grand jury.
Mrs. Eastman is expected to apply
today for letters of administration so
that she may take legal possession of
her husband's farm—now his grave-
yard. She ls not expected to come
to St. Michael's, but will ask for the
issuance of the papers at Easton.

ODD ACCIDENTS TO BIRDS.
(Exchange).'
A strange accident is recorded in
ins, dead at their own thresholds. ,An'
unusual case of accidental hanging
was once observed by the writer at
the story of a fishhawk. which sunk
its talons so do into a huge fish that
it could not wit draw them, and, des-
pite its struggles. was drawn beneath
the water and drowned. indeed. the
misadventures that befall birds are
not infrequently due to lack of discre
lion in the choices of food. 0n sev-
eral occasions starved pelicans have
been found with dead catfish in thein
pouches. On being caught, the fish
had erected their sharp. am! v has and
pierced the punches of their captors,
which collid then neither swallow nor
elect the unwelcome prey.
A singular instance is recOrded of
a chipping sparrow which, in swallow-
ing a grasshopper, swallowed also the
blade of grass on which the insect
was testing. and the bird was found
thus tied to the ground.
Birds that use ions’ hairs or strings
