RUMOR OF TRUST MERGER, WITH $40,000,000 RESOURCES. Van Norden Trust Co., 12th Ward Bank,' 19th Ward Bank, Carnegie Trust Co., All of New York. New Tork, Jan. 30. Announcement was made here today that Warner Van Norden and his son, Warner If. Von Norden, have Withdrawn from the af- fairs of the Van Norden Trust com- pany. Mr. Van Norden, Sr., was a di- rector and his son a director and pres- ident of the company. The new presi-ide- nt of the company is Charles A. Moore, Sr., who is also chairman of the board of directors. Other officers and directors of the company are nearly all connected with the Carnegie Trust company, and the retirement of the Van Nordens gives strength to a rumor widely current of late that the Van Norden Trust company, the Twelfth Ward bank, the Nineteenth Ward bank and the Carnegie Trust company will all merge. President Moore said tonight: "Contra! of the Van Norden Trust company changed hands some time ago." Bradley Martin, Jr., one of the direc- tors, Baid tonight: "The directors of the Carnegie Trust company bought control of the Van Norden last year. They bought as in- dividuals and not as a company. The rumor is not true that the Van Norden Trust company is to merge at once with the Carnegie Trust company. If action of this kind is taken it may come some time in the spring." Warner Van Norden said last night: "My eon and I sold all our . holdings last year. The announcement made to- day is simply official confirmation." r It was pointed out here tonight that o merger of the sort denied would give the Caicsfle Trust company resources of nearly $40,000,000. THE CORPORATION TAX, , MANUFACTURERS PROTEST. Many Connecticut Firms, Both Large and Small, Heard From. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, Jan. " 30. Connecticut manufacturers are flooding the Con- necticut members with protests against the corporation tax, and the smaller corporations especially Insistent that the tax will work a great hardship up- on them, because they will have to disclose their business secrets. and larger concerns will take advantage of this. The protests also aim at the pro- vision which compels stock companies to have their returns in by March 1st, and the Connecticut concerns wrould like to have this date changed. The commissioner of internal revenue has ruled that he has no discretion in this matter, and cannot change the date nor grant any delay. The law is mandatory upon him, and these re- turns must be in by March 1st, even though several suits are now pending in the supreme court to determine the question, whether the tax is constitu- tional or not. While these, suits are pending, con- gress will not attempt to amend the law. It is not probable that the su- preme court will be able to dispose of this question before March 1st, and so all concerns affected by the original law will have to be ready with their returns by March 1st, There is much) speculation as to what the supremeJ court will do, but of course no one can tell that until judgment is rendered. If the court decides that the tax is constitutional, it is not likely that con- gress will repeal it, although some amendments may be made later on. The senstiment of congress at the pres- ent time seems to be to retain the tax, and constitutional lawyers are quite confident that the supreme court will declare the tax constitutional. BISHOP CYRUS D. FOSS DEAD. nt of Wesleyan University Never Recovered from Heat Pros tration. Philadelphia, Jan. 30. Bishop Cyrus D. Fuss of the Methodist church died last night in Hahnemann hospital aft- er a long illness.

Weeks for the River to Normal Level I the part of the government to declare I martial law, the completely submerg- - ed districts, such as Javel, are in the hands of the military to prevent pil- laging. The soldiers have orders to give short shift to criminals caught in the act of looting. Thus far there have been no such cases in the city, but the danger is great, as t he French .usually keep their money and valuables in their homes. Outside of Paris, however, many de plorable instances of looting1 have been reported. A regular Dana or tnieves have been at work in the vicinity of Charenton, but the soldiers have been shooting them at sight. The Zouaves last night killed two o the pillagers at Ivry and two at Brie, Teheae robbers have now transferred their operations to the 'devastated regions below Paris, and many attempts to pillage the de- serted villas and homes are toeing" re- ported. The papers recount many deeds of heroism by priests at Alfort-vill- e. They continued the work of res- cue between midnight and daylight. when the soldiers, bluejackets and fire- men, after several days without rest, had become exhausted. Sisters of Charity rowed to houses, giving assist- ance in several cases of starvation. , Relief Fund Grows Rapidly. Besides the aid distributed directly by the government and the municipal- ity, more than $250,000 from the fund raised by the newspapers has been handed over to the various relief so- cieties and the local authorities of the various towns and villages near Paris. The press refers gratefully to the spontaneous help coming from abroad, and makes particular metion of the evidences of symaipthy in the United States. 6,000 Rag Pickers Destitute. A pitiable feature of the flood in Gennevillers is the plight of the colony of six thousand rag- - pickers, a fourth of whom are children. They are the poorest of all the Paris poor, and early each morning they cross the Seine to sort the refuse barrels of the great city. Their village was a clus- ter of miserable ho vela of plaster end earth flanked ' with . heaus of bones, rags, iron and odds and ends. On the bursting' of the dam the torrents of the Seinee swept everything- - away. Those of the rag pickers who had remained in the village snatched up their chil- dren and fied for their lives, most of them scantily "cted. They 'suffered bit- terly 'from the ' cold; but after v tew hours' of rhis, the were able to find shelter for- - them in the public buildHnngs of the surrounding towns. But to- the entire1 colony the flood means Irretrieveable ruin. Americans Should Remain in. Paris Until Conditions Improve. Washington, Jan. 80.

He has found no instance in which any American has suffered seriously from ta effects or trie nooa. - ONE OF THE GREATEST v INDUSTRIAL BATTLES PENDING Is the Belief of Leaders of United Mine Workers of America.

The operators, according to reports, will not yield to an increase in wages. The sentiment in the National Miners' union is unanimously 'for a general strike if the operators refuse an in- crease' of at least 10 per cent. - The western Pennsylvania miners stand for a 20 per cent, increase. The wage scale' committee of the miners union will ibring in its report at the opening of tomorrow's session of the convention and it is expected that the day will be spent in formulat- ing a contract to be presented to the operators on Tuesday.

Paris. Jan. 30. While the most im- - Biment ptvil is over. the fall of the Seine since yesterday morning has only measured 15 1-- 2 inches. At this rate it would require a fortnight for the river to reach its normal level. Kortunately, tidings from the flooded sections above Paris give hope of a more rapid subsidence after tomor- row. In the meantime, the situation in Paris and in many places throughout the country shows little improvement Indeed, the ravages of the flood with- in the city seemed actually to increase today. Stream of Water 12 Feet Deep. The water was higher in some of the streets, while the situation at the translated towns between Paris and t. Germain was distinctly graver. A cream of water 12 feet deep, was rushing through Gennevilliers and making the work of rescue and succor more difficult even than yesterday. Several of the houses col- lar sd and many persons were taken oil the roofs of their houses where rhey bad been clinging for days.

Although there is no intention on THREATENED WAR VER WESTBOUND FREIGHT RATES. The New Haven Company's Viewpoint ef the Subject. X- - Haven. Conn., Jan. 30. At the office of the .New York, New Haven end Hartford Railroad company here It is stated authoritatively that the company will Lake no initiative in pre- cipitating the threatened war of the various lines over westward bound freight rates. The reduction of six ents to 63 cents in the class rate by the Erie and Lackawanna line, to go- - in effpet on April 1 Tiext, Is likely to affect the Ontario and Western business of the New Haven ttnd its Canadian Pacific business even ioire seriously than the business of the Grand Trunk, but the New Haven road takes a passive attitude until a situa- tion more acute than the present one ensues. The question now from the New Ha- ven's viewpoint is whether the other fre trunk lines will follow the Erie nd Lackawanna in reducing the west- ward rate by cix cents. If they do so, It is regarded as almost certain that corresponding; reductions must follow upon ail the lines having lower rates, including the lake and roil lines, and possibly of the Grand Trunk itself, wrirh now enjoyw a 65 cent rate on its through lin via Long Island Sound, New London, the Vermont Central and the Grand Trunk line in Canada. The Grand Trunk has thus far refused to :nake an increase of five cents in its rate, which was demanded by the standard lines and must make any de-risi- on in the matter promptly, as a new tariff must be filed not later than March 1st. to be effective April 1st. ihe dat fixed by the Lackawanna and Krie. While the Grand Trunk rate has lcn the object of the attack by the Krie and Lackawanna and the Grand Trunk company nominally holds the key to the situation, the actual attack it believed to be aimed quite as much et the New Haven's rate over the On- tario and Western and Canadian Pa- - The effect of a genera! reductions of the standard line would be probably a general lowering en all the lines hav- ing lower rates, including the southern ocean and rail lines. Thus far east-bou- nd rates are not apparently threat- ened STiousiy. but in a general war of rates .they may be involved CRADUATE OF SMITH COLLECE And a Well Known Suffragette, Ar- -. rested With Others While Doing .

He wanted, as well as his men, a ten hour day; he wanted double pay for overtime, and if the men would help him, he promised to help them, and they should work as fellow employes together. "Think it over," said Mr. Mellen: 'let's join hands and If we don't po together we are both liable to get damaged." President Mellen ' re- ferred briefly to the proposed employ- ers' liability act, which he asked, if it must come, should come by degrees. He called attention to the. fact that almost unknown and never appearing in the newspapers was the fact that his corporation had a pension fund of two corporation had a pension fund of 200 names on it, paying out $200,000 a year, and to which no employe had to pay a cent. No Better Set of Railroad Men Exists. He referred to a statement which ho had made to a former stockholders' meeting which had excited hostile crit icism (namely, his statement that higher wages brought poorer service), and while not receding from that gen- eral statement, he said that now no better set of railroad men existed in efficiency and morale than those who had just brought his company through a period of acute adversity, and he ex- pressed the hope that in their future relations with-th- property they would be considerate and not seek too large a piece of it.

RUMOR OF TRUST MERGER,WITH $40,000,000 RESOURCES.

Van Norden Trust Co., 12th WardBank,' 19th Ward Bank, CarnegieTrust Co., All of New York.

New Tork, Jan. 30. Announcementwas made here today that Warner VanNorden and his son, Warner If. VonNorden, have Withdrawn from the af-fairs of the Van Norden Trust com-pany. Mr. Van Norden, Sr., was a di-rector and his son a director and pres-ident of the company. The new presi-ide- nt

of the company is Charles A.Moore, Sr., who is also chairman of theboard of directors. Other officers anddirectors of the company are nearly allconnected with the Carnegie Trustcompany, and the retirement of theVan Nordens gives strength to a rumorwidely current of late that the VanNorden Trust company, the TwelfthWard bank, the Nineteenth Ward bankand the Carnegie Trust company willall merge.

President Moore said tonight:"Contra! of the Van Norden Trustcompany changed hands some time

ago."Bradley Martin, Jr., one of the direc-

tors, Baid tonight:"The directors of the Carnegie Trustcompany bought control of the Van

Norden last year. They bought as in-dividuals and not as a company. Therumor is not true that the Van NordenTrust company is to merge at oncewith the Carnegie Trust company. Ifaction of this kind is taken it maycome some time in the spring."

Warner Van Norden said last night:"My eon and I sold all our . holdingslast year. The announcement made to-day is simply official confirmation."r It was pointed out here tonight thato merger of the sort denied would givethe Caicsfle Trust company resourcesof nearly $40,000,000.

THE CORPORATION TAX,, MANUFACTURERS PROTEST.

Many Connecticut Firms, Both Largeand Small, Heard From.

(Special to The Bulletin.)Washington, Jan. " 30. Connecticut

manufacturers are flooding the Con-necticut members with protests againstthe corporation tax, and the smallercorporations especially Insistent thatthe tax will work a great hardship up-on them, because they will have todisclose their business secrets. andlarger concerns will take advantage ofthis. The protests also aim at the pro-vision which compels stock companiesto have their returns in by March 1st,and the Connecticut concerns wrouldlike to have this date changed.The commissioner of internal revenue

has ruled that he has no discretion inthis matter, and cannot change thedate nor grant any delay. The law ismandatory upon him, and these re-turns must be in by March 1st, eventhough several suits are now pendingin the supreme court to determine thequestion, whether the tax is constitu-tional or not.

While these, suits are pending, con-gress will not attempt to amend thelaw. It is not probable that the su-preme court will be able to dispose ofthis question before March 1st, and soall concerns affected by the originallaw will have to be ready with theirreturns by March 1st, There is much)speculation as to what the supremeJcourt will do, but of course no one cantell that until judgment is rendered.

If the court decides that the tax isconstitutional, it is not likely that con-gress will repeal it, although someamendments may be made later on.The senstiment of congress at the pres-ent time seems to be to retain the tax,and constitutional lawyers are quiteconfident that the supreme court willdeclare the tax constitutional.

the streets, while the situation at thetranslated towns between Paris and

rushing through Gennevilliers andmaking the work of rescue

and succor more difficult even thanyesterday. Several of the houses col-larsd and many persons were takenoil the roofs of their houses whererhey bad been clinging for days.

THREATENED WAR VERWESTBOUND FREIGHT RATES.

The New Haven Company's Viewpointef the Subject.

X- - Haven. Conn., Jan. 30. At theoffice of the .New York, New Havenend Hartford Railroad company hereIt is stated authoritatively that thecompany will Lake no initiative in pre-cipitating the threatened war of thevarious lines over westward boundfreight rates. The reduction of sixents to 63 cents in the class rate

by the Erie and Lackawannaline, to go-- in effpet on April 1 Tiext,Is likely to affect the Ontario andWestern business of the New Haventtnd its Canadian Pacific business evenioire seriously than the business of theGrand Trunk, but the New Haven roadtakes a passive attitude until a situa-tion more acute than the present oneensues.

The question now from the New Ha-ven's viewpoint is whether the otherfre trunk lines will follow the Erie

nd Lackawanna in reducing the west-ward rate by cix cents. If they do so,It is regarded as almost certain thatcorresponding; reductions must followupon ail the lines having lower rates,including the lake and roil lines, andpossibly of the Grand Trunk itself,wrirh now enjoyw a 65 cent rate on itsthrough lin via Long Island Sound,New London, the Vermont Central andthe Grand Trunk line in Canada. TheGrand Trunk has thus far refused to:nake an increase of five cents in itsrate, which was demanded by thestandard lines and must make any de-risi- on

in the matter promptly, as a newtariff must be filed not later thanMarch 1st. to be effective April 1st.ihe dat fixed by the Lackawanna andKrie. While the Grand Trunk rate haslcn the object of the attack by theKrie and Lackawanna and the GrandTrunk company nominally holds thekey to the situation, the actual attackit believed to be aimed quite as muchet the New Haven's rate over the On-tario and Western and Canadian Pa- -

The effect of a genera! reductions ofthe standard line would be probably ageneral lowering en all the lines hav-ing lower rates, including the southernocean and rail lines. Thus far east-bou- nd

rates are not apparently threat-ened STiousiy. but in a general war ofrates .they may be involved
