INCOME TO BILL
IS PASSED by
SENATE
Measure, Nearly Same as
Passed House, Will Soon Be
Up to President Taft.
WASHINGTON, July 27.—The sen
ate yesterday passed the excise bill.
This is in reality an income tax bill,
levying a tax of one per cent a year on
the incomes in excess of $5,000 on all
corporations and persons.
Attached to this bill were two riders
one repealing the Canadian reciproc
ity act, the other establishing a tariff
commission.
These amendments carry the entire
bill back to the house, which had al
ready passed the main measure. It is
expected that the house will accept the
two amendments, and thus send the
measure to the president for his signa
ture.
Thus congress is nearer establishing
g real income tax than it has been
since the supreme court in 1893 held
such a measure to be unconstitutional.
The senate's vote on the measure
yesterday was decisive, 37 to 18. Pas
sage of the bill was made possible by
a coalition of the Democratic and the
progressive Republican senators.
Hoke Smith Leads
Fight for Measure.
The fight for the measure was led by
Senator Hoke Smith, of Gteorgia, who
opened the debate with a two-hout
speech. He stated that he personally
favored a straight personal income tax.
and was supported in liis opinion by
the fact that 34 states have already
adopted the amendment to the consti
tution of the United States authorizing
congress to lay such a tax. But, he
saiii. the Democrats generally believed
it to be safer to accomplish the same
result by merely extending the exist
ing corporation income tax to individ
uals.
Under the provisions of this measure,
the man with an income of $5,000 a
year, or less, is exempt from taxation.-
Those whose yearly net income ex
ceeds $5,000 must pay one per cent on
the amount in excess of that sum. For
instance, if John Doe enjoys an in
come of $7,500 a year, his tax paid to
the Federal government would be $25.
one per cent of the excess over $5,000.
If John D. Rockefeller's income is $2".-
000.000, as has been estimated, his tax
would be $249,950.
It has been computed that the bill
passed by the senate yesterday will
raise an annual revenue of $60,000,000.
General Tariff
On Program
WASHINGTON, July 27—Prospects
for an early adjournment of congress
received another jolt today when Ma
jority Leader Underwood .of the house
declared the general tariff question will
be fought out following the passage of
the various appropriation bills. The
supply bills wilj not be passed before.
August 15, said Underwood, and if tariff
legislation is taken up there will be no
adjournment before September 1.
Should the impeachment proceedings
against Judge Archbald be begun im
mediately, the house may remain in
session another month, adjourning some
time late in October.
Texas Tries to Bar
Negroes in Primary
AUSTIN, TEXAS, July 27.—Trouble
was expected at the state precinct
primary elections today over the ques
tion of negroes voting. The attorney
general of the state has ruled that
negroes may be prohibited from voting.
This power, he said, was delegated to
the county executive committees. If no
especial provision was made against
negroes, they should be allowed to vote,
lie held
A question over the legality of the
primary ballots has also arisen. Half
u s the state ballots were printed with
out electors' names, while the other
half have them on.

IN FANEIIIL HALL
- ♦
Harmony Complete in Massa
chusetts Bull Moose Con
vention—No State Ticket.
BOSTON. July 27. —Crowds gathered
at Faneuil hall today for the first state
convention of the Bull Moose party.
Roosevelt marching clubs with both red
and blue bandanas prominently dis
played, gave color and enthusiasm to
the gathering. Ex-Mayor Frederick
Fosdick, of Fitchburg, called the con
vention to order.
Permanent organization was quickly
effected and names of candidates for
the eighteen places of delegates to the
Chicago convention submitted. In ad
dition, eighteen alternates are to be
chosen to the Chicago convention. Just
prior to the conventional was definitely
decided no state ticket will be placed in
the field in Massachusetts, with the ex
ception of a ticket of presidential elec
tors.
Moose Convention
To Be Heid Secretly
CHICAGO, July 27.—The first ward
conventions to name delegates to the
third party state convention in Illinois
will be hold in Cook county tonight.
The meetings will be semi-secret. In
stead of publishing a list of the places
where the conventions will be held, a
list of men who will know where they
are to be held some time before they
are actually called to order was given
out today. The reason for the secrecy,
according to leaders of the new party,
is the fear that ward politicians allied
with Governor Deneen and the regular
Republican machine would pack the
gatherings and name delegates who
would start trouble when the new state
convention endeavors to proceed with
the nomination of a third state ticket.
WILSON RETURNS TO
SEAGIRT;HE FINISHES
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
SEAGIRT, N. J., July 27. —Governor’
Wilson is back at the “little white
house” today with his speech of ac
ceptance practically completed. The
speech is in the form of shorthand notes
written by the governor himself, who
has been ari x expert stenographer for
many years. These notes the governor
will dictate to a relay of stenographers
this afternoon. His secretary has ar
ranged to have the matter rapidly
written, so that it can be revised by the
governor and placed in the hands of the
printer by Monday.
Senator Gore is expected here this
afternoon to discuss further plans for
the campaign. Numerous letters have
been received here urging Governor
Wilson to name Senator Gore as the
Western manager of the campaign. The
location of the Western office has not
been decided upon as yet, though many
believe Denver will be the final selec
tion. Senator Gore will take up this
question with the governor.
Herman Ridder, whose continuance
as treasurer of the Wilson campaign is
to be officially announced within a few
days, is expected here Monday.

Sugar Schedule
Up in Senate
WASHINGTON. July 27.—John Sharp
Williams presented to the senate, as
the consideration of the sugar schedule
was taken up today, a minority report
in the form of an amendment to the
house bill offered as a substitute. Its
principal features are the abolition of
the differential and the No. 16 Dutch
standard color test.
The minority amendment attempts to
strike a middle course in Tariff revision.
Senator Lodge, speaking against the
free sugar bill, said:
"Taking the figures of the bureau of
labor as correct—and my own personal
observation before I knew them con
firmed by the official statistics—we find
that if the whole duty on 56 degrees
sugar of 1.68 cents per pound is re
moved, each consumer will save .90216
1 cent per year."
He said the people were not asking
free sugar, but that the whole agita
tion was created by the Federal Sugar
Refining Company, owned by the
SpreckeU luttresu.

Fashionable Women Wearing
Hats, Stockings and Even
Shoes of That Material.
The latest sartorial surprise in Paris
is the lace sheath skirt with Turkish
trousers.
One of America’s largest lace import
ers has just returned from an extended
tour of continental fashion centers
with SIO,OOO worth of Bohemian lace.
"Lace will be the dominant mate
rial for the attire of fashionable women
next season,” he said. “The French
resorts are filled with women wearing
gowns of that Inaterrial, and in some
cases the fad has become so popular
that it is by no means an uncommon
sight to see women attired in lace
stockings, shoes made of lace uppers,
lace hats and lace gowns.
“Pannier skirts, still the mode, as
well as the new pleated skirts, are be
ing manufactured entirely of lace, and
the sheath skirt, that some modistes
said would not live another season, is
still in demand. The effect when It is
made of lace is startling. Lace stock
ings in countless colors are also fash
ionable, and I think will be liked in
America, although I would not care to
predict the reception lace shoes will
receive here.
“Bohemian made lace is in great de
mand, so much so that I brought with
me all I could get. as I was afraid
many orders given would never be
filled. English laces have taken a back
seat in the fashionable world at pres
ent. anil the Nottingham makers are
forced to imitate continental laces.
Irish lace is not in demand.”

LAWYER SUES JUDGE,
WHO NOW THREATENS
DISBARMENT ACTION
VAJLDOSTA, GA., July 27.—C. S.
Morgan, of this city, has filed suit here
against Ordinary A. V. Simms, of this
county, for $25,000 forfeiture. The or
dinary in return threatens to institute
proceedings for disbarment against the
attorney. The case grows out of a suit
in the courts of this county against a
negro man for violation of the prohi
bition law, who was represented by
Colonel Morgan. The man was con
victed of the charge, and is now serv
ing hfs sentence on the county chain
gang.
The attorney attempted to institute
habeas corpus proceedings before the
ordinary, but claims that Ordinary
Simms refused to consider the pro
ceedings, believing that there was no
ground for them. The attorney says
the ordinary should have gone into the
case, to see whether or not there was
merit in ft.
On account of the ordinary's failure
to do so. Mr. Morgan has entered suit
against him. Ordinary Simms has em
ployed an attorney to fight the suit
and push disbarment proceedings, tak
ing the position th it Mr. Morgan is
trifling with the law and attempting to
use his court to give trouble rather
than to see justice done.

ASSASSINS TRY
ID SLAY FAMILV
Five Men Break Into Woman’s
Home, Opening Fire on Her
and Two Children.
CHICAGO. July 27.—Police today
have thrown out the dragnet to cap
ture five armed assassins who forced
their way into the home of Mrs. Helen
Bauman, fatally wounded the woman,
and shot her daughter Elizabeth, aged
sixteen as the women lay in bod. and
attempted to kill William Bauman, the
woman's son. After a fusillade of shots,
the men. who were masked, fled.
Mystery surrounds the affair. First
reports to the police were that the men
were burglars who had forced their
way Into the kitchen of the Bauman
home and were surprised by Mrs. Bau
man and her daughter, who heard them
enter.
Acordlng to the story told the po
lice, the women were awakened by a
noise in the kitchen. The daughter
wanted to investigate. The mother
toid her to lie still. Just then the men
broke into the bedrooTn and opened lire.
Both women screamed and rushed into
tlie room where the son, William Bau
man, was in bed. The men fired as
they entered, but none of the shots
struck him. Then the men fled.
Mrs. Bauman at the hospital said
she knew of no reason for the attack.
The men had not tried to rob the house,
she said, but fired as soon as they en
tered her room. She says she has no
enemies that she knows of.
William Bauman later told the police
a different story. The officers are sure
that the men were not burglars. They
believe that they were assassins, and
that the shooting was a deliberate at
tempt to annihilate the entire family.
Mrs. Bauman is 46 years of age. She
is the owner of a saloon at 3830 Honore
street. She lives in the rear of the
building In which the saloon is located.
She was shot through the shoulder and
the right lung. Her daughter was shot
through the arm.
