Washington, April 18.—With toe
Democratic members of the House In
•he role of students. Representative
•Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, convert
ed the tariff caucus Into a class in
Income taxation today, after the cau
cus had disposed of the amendments
to a few Items on the free list, which
passed over from yesterday.
Several members sought to have
a small duty levied on raw rubber,
raw silk and tungsten ore.
Representative Hull wrote the In
come tax section of the bill. He has
made a study of the income lax
problems for the past several yea-s.
How the committee arrived at four
thousand dollars, as the exemption
limit, was the first subject of the
inquiry today. Hull explained that
a lower exemption would --'-essl‘"te
a measure with so many tlal x-
emptlons that it would b_ dillto.ilt I
of enforcement, but by playing the ‘
exemption limit at four thousand,
the operation of the act and the
collection of the tax would be com
paratively simple
The House Repuolicans went Into
acus this afternoon, to see whether
they should offer a tariff program
of their own, or follow the plan of
Representatives Moore and Ford-
ney, to merely “point out the peril
In the. Democratic program.”
The Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee had
polled four to two, to direct the Re
publican caucus to prepare at
amendment to the Democratic bill.
The first vote of the day In the
Democratic caucus was the motion
of Representative Phelan, of Mas
sachusetts to take boots and Shoes
from the free list and make them
dutiable at ten per cent, ad valorem.
This motion was defeated also.
An amendment of flye per cent,
duty on the Income tax was then
taken up.
The caucus rejected tho pmoid-
ment proposed by Representative
Hardwick of Georgia, to take crude
rubbed off the free list and to tax
It ten per cent.

Little Damage From Cold.
The bright weather and warm
Bunshlne of the past few days have
been ot great benefit to the growing
crops around the county, coming as
they have, just after the cool spell
during the early part of the week.
From what can he learned In re
gard to the crops, they have suffered
comparatively little damage from
the cold and are looking about
fresh and bright as they did before
It came. A few parties have
parted their vegetables as being
little wilted by the cool winds, but
these have probably revived under
the warm atmosphere prevailing
now.
There Ib a very largo acreage
planted In watermelons in this ter
ritory and there was fear that the
vines would be damaged but so far
as can be learned they are In good
condition and those who at first
thought that the Injury to them
would be serious haye tound that it
amounts to very, little and the Indi
cations are that there will be
large a crop of “watermilllons"
can be handled this season.

Atlanta, April 18.—Mr. R. M.
Wallace of this city wants $3,010
more for three fingers that were
I blown off the hand of his little 10-
I year-old son by u dynamite cap,
than Geo. P. Farris, of this city,
wants tor the whole body of his lit-
i tie 3-year-old girl who wa9 Killed by
a street car. Wallace has sudd for
damages In the ‘ Superior Court (or
$15,'00, while Farris has sued In
the same court for $12,000. Both
suits were filed the same day.
The Wallace suit is filed against
Mrs. A. C. H. Matthewson, who Is
charged with being responsible
the boy’s Injury while leaving a box
of dynamite caps lying around loose
where tho boy could get at them.
Mrs. Matthewson was having the
street graded for a sub-division on
some of her property and the box of
dynamite cape, It Is alleged, was loft
on the highway, where the boys
playing got hold of them.
The Farris suit charges simply
that the street car company was Jo
blame, as the street was clear for
the distance of 100 feet ahead of
the car before the child was struck.
The suit holds that the motorman
was guilty of negligence In not stop
ping the car in time.
The disparity in the amounts sued
for. $12,000 for the death of a hu
man being, and $15,000 for the loss
of three fingers, Illustrates in n re
markable way the fact that Is prob
ably not peculiar lo Atlanta's courts
