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.

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."

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.

Weeks for the River toNormal Level

ed districts, such as Javel, are in thehands of the military to prevent pil-laging. The soldiers have orders togive short shift to criminals caught inthe act of looting.

Outside of Paris, however, many deplorable instances of looting1 have beenreported. A regular Dana or tnieveshave been at work in the vicinity ofCharenton, but the soldiers have beenshooting them at sight.

Gennevillers is the plight of thecolony of six thousand rag-- pickers, afourth of whom are children. They arethe poorest of all the Paris poor, andearly each morning they cross theSeine to sort the refuse barrels of thegreat city. Their village was a clus-ter of miserable ho vela of plaster endearth flanked ' with . heaus of bones,rags, iron and odds and ends. On thebursting' of the dam the torrents of theSeinee swept everything- - away. Thoseof the rag pickers who had remainedin the village snatched up their chil-dren and fied for their lives, most ofthem scantily "cted. They 'suffered bit-terly 'from the ' cold; but after v tewhours' of rhis, the were ableto find shelter for- - them in the publicbuildHnngs of the surrounding towns.But to- the entire1 colony the floodmeans Irretrieveable ruin.Americans Should Remain in.

Paris. Jan. 30. While the most im- -Biment ptvil is over. the fall of theSeine since yesterday morning hasonly measured 15 1-- 2 inches. At thisrate it would require a fortnight forthe river to reach its normal level.Kortunately, tidings from the floodedsections above Paris give hope of amore rapid subsidence after tomor-row.

In the meantime, the situation inParis and in many places throughoutthe country shows little improvementIndeed, the ravages of the flood with-in the city seemed actually to increasetoday.

Stream of Water 12 Feet Deep.The water was higher in some of

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

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
