Democratic Caucus Instructed
in Provisions of New Act
by Tennesseean

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 18.—With Dem
ocratic members of the house in the
role of students today Representative
Cordell Hull, of Tennesse, converted the
tariff caucus into a class in income tax
ation after the caucus had disposed of
attendants to a few items on the free
list passed over from yesterday. Sev
eral members sought to have a small
duty levied on raw rubber, raw silk
and tungsten ore.
Representative Hull wrote the income
tax section of the Democratic bill in
which widespread interest has been
aroused, members of'congress particu
larly evincing a desire for information
as to the effect of the proposed tax be
fore trying to criticise its provisions.
The Tennessee member who has made
a study of the income tax problem for
many years, elucidated his plan in a
lengthy address to his colleagues and
on nearly every provision he was asked
a dozen questions.
How the ways and means committee
had arrived at $4,000 as the exemption
limit for the income tax was the first
subject of the inquiry, some members
asking if $5,000 would not be better and
others demonstrating an idea that the
exemption should be lower.
A lower exemption, Mr. Hull ex*
plained, would necessitate a bill with so
many special exemptions thac it would
be difficult of enforcement and also
would entail so much administrative
work as to make it unprofitable.
By fixing the exemption at $4,000,
special exemptions are not necessary
and it was stated the operation o'f the
act and cpllection of the tax were made
comparatively simple.
Considerable opposition to some of the
features of the act are developing,
though the leaders declare many mem
bers are under misapprehension as to
the exact working of the act. To clear
up misunderstandings was the desire
of the committee at the outset, and
this task was undertaken by Mr. Hull.
Before the caucus met the ways and
means committee considered some
amendments, none of which is vital, but
which .would change rates on minor
commodities. They were to be offered
to the caucus.
Th^ committee also framed an amend
ment to the income tax section, chang
ing the phraseology regarding insurance
policies. In the original the language
was meant to exempt insurance policies
in computing net income, but it was re
garded as confusing.
“We will change the language,” said
Chairman Underwood, ‘‘to make clear
that insurance policies are exempt. T‘ e
change does not alter the original in
tention of the committee.”
The constitutionality of the income
tax, it became apparent today, was to
be the principal subject of debate when
its discussion began in earnest. Several
members were planning, to attack it on
the ground that it was unconstitutional.
The committee is ready, to contend that
there is no ground for apprehension on
that claim.
While the Democrats were in' session
the house Republicans went into caucus
to settle whether they should offer a
tariff program of their own or follow
the plan of Representatives Moore and
Fordney to merely ‘‘point out the peril
in the Democratic bill.” Republican
members of the ways and means had
voted 4 to 2 to direct the Republican
caucus to prepare amendments to the
Democratic bill.
The first vote of the day in the Dem
ocratic caucus before the income tax
was taxen up, was on a motion of Rep
resentative* Phelan, of Massachusetts, to
take boots and shoes from the free
list and make them dutiable at 10 per
cent ad valorem This deefated, he of
fered an amendment for 5 per cent duty
which also was lost by an overwhelm
ing vote.
The caucus rejected an amendment
proposed by Representative Hardwick,
of Georgia, to take crude rubber off the
free list and to tax it at 10 per cent.
Representative Borland, of Missouri,
tried unsuccessfully to put manufactur
ed rubber on the free list.
Chairman Simmons of the senate fin-
. ance committee returned to Washington
today and has called another meeting
tomorrow of the Democratic members
‘ of the committee for further study of
the tariff bill. No hearings will be
granted according to the present plans
of the Democrats, although many dele
gations and representatives of indus
tries and labor organizations have re
quired opportunities to appear.
MISSISSIPPI RISES
ABOVE FLOOD
All Records for High Water
Shattered by Big River
Through Arkansas
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, April JS.—The
weather bureau’s prediction of three
weeks ago that the present Mississippi
river flood would exceed the record
stages from Alemphis south is being
verified. The gauge at Helena. Ark.,
this morning registered 64.4 feet or one-
tenth above the previous high record
made on April 21 last year. At Arkan
sas City an additional rise of two-tenths
of a foot for the twenty-four hours end
ing at 7 a. m., brought the stage within
half a foot I of last year's record. At
Vicksburg a rise of four-tenhts was re
corded. giving a stage within half a
foot of the previous record.
From Natchez south the river contin
ues to rise at the rate of approximately
half a footj a day. A further rise
slightly over a foot will put the Natchez
stage over last year’s record. Baton
Rouge is 6.1 feet below the record,
Donaldsonville Is five feet below and
New Orleans is 3.2 feet below the high
mark set on May 11 last year.
Reports received today by the engin
eers in charge of the* levee work south
of Vicksburg were optimistic, but it i3
admitted that the levees between Arkan
sas City and Natchez will be subjected
to the most severe strain yet recorded,
within the next two weeks.
The levees from Vicksburg south,
however, have been raised from two to
three feet above last year’s height and
generally strengthened. A feature which
has lent the most encouragement to the
engineers is the sunshine which has
continued without interruption for al
most two weeks, thoroughly drying the
levees.

DR. TALKS ON FOOD
Pres, of Board of Health
"What shall I eat?” is the daily in
quiry the physician is met with. I
do not hesitate to say that in my judg
ment a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and im
properly prepared food. My personal
experience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
"From overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last sum
mer I was led to experiment person
ally with the new food, which I used
in conjunction with good rich cow’s
milk. In a short time after I com
menced its use, the disagreeable symp
toms disappeared, my heart’s action be
came steady and normal, the functions
of the stomach were properly carried
out and I again slept as soundly and
*as well as in my ’youth.
"I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that
it has a most prominent place In a ra
tional, scientific system of feeding.
Any one who uses this food will soon
be convinced of the soundness of the
principle upon which it is manufactured
and may thereby know the facts as to*
its true worth.” Name given by Pos-
tura Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
"There’s a reason,’’ and it is explained
in the little book, “The Road to Wel>-
ville,” in pkgs.

ELGIN, Ill., April 19.—What appears
to be a triple murder was revealed by
the finding of the mutilated bodies of
Mrs. Manny Sleep and her two small
children in an abandoned cistern on the
Sleep farm, five miles west of. Elgin.
The trio had been missing since Mon-
duy evening.
•Late this afternoon Herman Coppes,
sixteen years old, of the St. Charles
school, for boys, who had been on parole
to the Sleep family for six months, was
taken into custody and is held in con*
nection with the murder.
The arrest of Coppes came after de
velopment of evidence at the coro
ners jury that he had had an empty
cartridge in his possession on Thurs
day.
He declared to tSanley Phillipps, an
other state ward, that he believed that
he wopld throw the cartridges aw’ay, as
it might cause him trouble.
Mrs. Sleep and her children, Sarah
and Orville, disappeared Monday aft
ernoon. The husband found their
bodies this morning in a cistern, the
only opening to which is through the
kitchen floor. The skulls of both
children were crushed and there were
five bullet holes in the mother’s body.
Bloodstained axes with which it is
believed the children were killed were
found in a woodshed adjoining the
house. A revolver with four loaded
cartridges and one empty chamber was
found in the cistern. The caliber of
the revolver and that of the empty shell
carried by Coppes were the same.
No motive for the murders can be de
termined. Coppes professes innocence.
The inquest was adjourned for ten days.
FOUR ARE INJURED IN
SHAKE-UP ON SOUTHERN
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
EASTMAN, Ga.. April 18.—-Passenger
train No. 23 oil the Southern railroad,
bound for Macon, was wrecked here at
2:30 o’clock this morning. The smash-
up occurred on the outskirts of East
man on an embankment. Engineer
William Argo, of Macon, was seriously
injured internally; Fireman E. C. Cham-
bless and Baggage Master F. J. Mc
Cloud, of Macon, were injured, but not
seriously. The negro porter was
slightly hurt. The train was ap
proaching the station and steam had
been shut off, which prevented far
more serious consequences. The en
gine jumped the track and, parting
from the tender, fell on its side at
right angles to the rails.
The baggage car rolled down the em
bankment, and turned bottom side up.
The baggage master, the negro porter,
were in this car when the smash came,
the former asleep in his chair.
The porter was pinned beneath the
baggage, but was unhurt save for a
sprained thumb. Most of the passen
gers knew nothing of the wreck. Those
in the sleeper were not awakened. The
engineer and the fireman are being
cared for at the hotel.
The wreck was caused by a split
switch or the switch- being open. Th«
same engine pulling a passenger train
was overturned at this same spot about
a month ago. It will take all day at
least for the track to be cleared.
Mass Meeting of Irresponsible
People in Tokio Demand
Most Extreme Measures in
Retaliation for California Law
(By Associated Press.)
TOKIO, April 18.—The situation
brought about by the California alien
land holding bill is becoming increas
ingly serious. A mass meeting today
composed for the most part of irrespon
sible people demanded the most extreme
measures of retaliation by Japan. Dur
ing the gathering the singing of war
songs aroused the feelings of many of
the lower classes who were pnesent.
Anonymous writers in the newspapers
gave an outline of plans of the seizure
of the Philippine islands and Hawaii
and at the same time denounce the Ja
pan government’s submissive attitude.
It is said that the changed conditions
in Japan make it impossible for the
government to restrain the newspapers
and the lower classes:
On the other hand government cir
cles are showing spirit. Hamilton
Wright Mabie, of New York; Dr. Pea
body and John L. Mott, secretary of
the International Committee of the
Young Men’s Christian association, were
the guests today at a luncheon given
by Baron Noboaki Makino, the foreign
minister, at which some of the most
prominent Japanese and Americans
were present. .A very cordial feeling
prevailed.
DIPLOMACY HELPLESS.
Shortly after the luncheon Messrs.
Mabie, Peabody and Mott, and a number
of representative Japanese Chritsians
and Americans mbet at the residence of
Count Shigenobu Okuma, former pre
mier and minister of foreign affairs.
Count Okuma delivered a speech during
which he said that diplomacy, the courts
and commercial men were helpless and
that only the influence of Christianity
remained. Otherwise, he declared, war
was impending.*
Mr. Mott agreed in replying that the
influence of the Christianity was now
superlative.
Dispatches were sent by the meeting
to President Wilson and others implor
ing them to use all their influence on
Christians and thoughtful people to
avoid a calamity.
The Japanese overnment considers the
present anti-Japanese movement in Cali
fornia as most dangerous and is faced
with the prospect of placing itself in a
most unwelcome position, owing to the
unwillingness of the federal government
at Washington to intervene and the im
possibility of introducing counter meas
ures here.
In the event of the passage of the
California alien land holding bill through
both houses of the leigslature, Japan
will issue an imperial ordinence to erf-
force the Japan foreign land ownership
bill of 1910 and will apply to the fed
eral government at Washington for per
mission of Japanese to become natural
ized citizens of the United States.
Two Children and
Governess Drown
In a Closed Auto
(By Asscoiated Pr8ss.)
PARIS, April 19.—Two children of
Isadora Duncan, the American dancer, a
girl, five, and a boy, three, and their
English governess, were drowned as the
result of a singular accident today,
when the automobile in which they were
riding along the Boulevard Bourbon, in
the suburb of Nouilly-Sur-Seine, plunged
from the roadway into the river Seine.
The machine had been brought to a
stop because another automobile was
approaching from the opposite direction
had had lost power. The chauffeur de
scended to the ground and started the
engine, but as the power had not been
turned off, he machine started abruptly
and gained headway so quickly that the
chauffeur was unable to regain his seat.
The automobile, with no guiding
hand, left the roadway and ran over
the embankment, which is not protected
with a parapet, and then dashed into the
river.

Delegation Representing Big Farm-

Georgia Senator.
BY RALPH SMITH
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 19.—The
committee representing the big farm
ers’ convention in Chicago last week
conferred today with Senator Hoke
Smith concerning legislation looking to
better methods in marketing farm
products. They expressed their appre
ciation of the senator's effort and suc
cess at the last session of congress,
when he secured an appropriation of
J50.000 for preliminary work in estab
lishing a market division in the depart
ment of agriculture.
The delegation was composed of Dr.
Alexander Caswell Ellis, of the Uni
versity of Texas; T. D. Harman, of
the National Stockman and Farmers,
Pittsburg, Pa.; M. R. Myers, editor of
the American Co-Operative Journal at

sented was called by the association
of farm papers of America, and was
attended by 400 delegates representing
twenty-four states and four foreign
countries. They discussed for three
days, the matter of better methods of
marketing agricultural products and
financing agriculture.
Senator Smith told the committee
that the proposed division of markets,
had met with such wide favor that
there was no doubt about the passage
of the hill In a much more comprehen
sive form than as originally drawn, and
that much more would be accomplished
in the elimination of waste in mar
keting of crops.
The secretary of agriculture is mak
ing active preparation for the division
of markets. The committee held an
extended conference with Congressman
Lever, joint author of the Smith-
Lever bill, which Senator Smith intro
duced in the senate at the last session
and which Mr. Leve*- Introduced In

SLOW 01 JAP BILL
President and Secretary of
State Bryan Warn State of
Dangerou s Legislation,
Leaders Modify Land Bill
(By Associated Brass.)
WASHINGTON, April 19.—President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, following
the precedent of previous administra
tions, today made known their views on
the international character of the legfs-
lation now Pending in California by
which Japan could be prevented/ from
owning land in that state.
In a telegram to Governor Johnson,
Secretary Bryan expressed the view of
President Wilson that the California as
sembly bill might be construed as a vio
lation of treaty obligations with Japan,
while the senate’s measure as drawn
would not be objectionable, if alien land
legislation is to be enacted at all. In
this the federal government recognizes
the sovereign right of California to leg
islate according to her own judgment
but today’s message counseled caution.
The telegram and other information
from official circles indicated clearly
that the provisions in the assembly bill,
by which aliens “Ineligible to citizen
ship” could be prohibited from owning
land were regarded here as a distinct
discrimination against Japanese who at
present are denied the right of naturali
zation. The language of the senate bill
restricting ownership of land to citizens
of the United States “or aliens who have
declared their intention of becoming cit
izens” is approved by the president ano
he has discovered that this is the
phraseology of the tsatutes already in
force in New York, Delaware, Minnesota,
Kentucky, Washington, Missouri and me
District of Columbia. Incidentally all
these laws make it impossible for Jap
anese to own land until they are able to
declare their intention of becoming -citi
zens, a privilege which the lower courts
thus far have not given them on the
ground that they were not “of white or
African descent.”
By enacting a law similar to those in
force In several states, California would
not embarrass the federal government
because no protest hitherto has Jjeen
made against the statutes and the whole
problem becomes one of naturalization.
It is not unlikely, however, that the Jap
anese government will now attempt to
have the question of naturalization
pressed to higher courts.
Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambas
sador, today had a long conference about
the situation with Secretary Bryan. The
secretary had been keeping the ambassa
dor freely advised of the steps taken oy
the federal government to preserve the
treaty rights of the Japanese. As Sec
retary Bryan knows the precise nature
of the Japanese objections to the pend
ing objections, his recommendation to
Governor Johnson is taken to indicate
that the senate bill is in such form tnat
though not welcome, it might at least
be tolerated by the Japanese govern
ment.

COLLEGE IS NOT ASKING
STATE STATION REMOVAL
Dr.
Soule Says That Matter
Is in Hands of the
People Alone
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ATHENS, Ga., April 19.—The election
of Prof. R. J. H. DeLoach as director of
the Georgia agricultural experiment sta
tion, has led some of the papers of Geor
gia to seize the opportunity to advocate
the removal of the station to the Col
lege of Agriculture at Athens. Some
have assumed that the Removal of the
station would naturally follow.
In order that the attitude of the col
lege might not be misunderstood, Presi
dent Soule considers that it is timely to

come by reason of a real demand of the
pooph who made its founding possible,
whr have supported it thus far and who
will be looked to for future enlarge
ment.”
