Will Soon Be Up to President Taft. SENATOR SMITH OF GA. LEADS FIGHT FOR BILL Will Increase Revenue of the United States $60,000,000 Yearly, It Is Estimated. 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 hill 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 a 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. Tin tight for the measure was led by Senatoi Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who opened the debate with a two-hour speech. He stated that he personally favored a straight personal income tax. and was supported in his 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 ’•aid. the Democrats generally believed it to be safer to accomplish the same t'.-ult by merely extending the exist ing corporation income tax to individ uals. I nder the provisions of this measure, the man with an income of .$5,000 a ''ar. 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 tlie Federal government would be $25, "nt per cent of the excess over $5,000. If Jolm D. Rockefeller’s income is $25.- """ 000. as has been estimated, his tax would be $249,950. It has been computed that the bill po<«>d by the senate yesterday will raise an annual revenue of $60,000,000.

GUARDS FOR WITNESS IN SLAYING PROBE Threats Make Investigators Fear Death or Kidnaping of Important Man. PROTECTORS REMAIN WITH HIM CONSTANTLY Chain of Evidence Tightening Around Guilty in Rosenthal Assassination. NEW YORK. July 27. —Threats made by the allies of the gamblers and gang sters under arrest for -complicity in the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the in former. caused careful precautions to be taken today to prevent the assassi nation. intimidation or spiriting away of Louis Krese, an important new wit ness. who identified "Bridgie” Webber and "Jack Sullivan" as two of the men who stood in front of the Hotel Metro pole when Rosenthal was shot down. The tightening of the chain of evi dence around the accused men is said to have stirred their lawless associates to such a point of desperation that it is believed there is very real cause to guard against another outbreak of vio lence. Two detectives are guarding Krese today. They were detailed to watch over the witness by Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty. The arrest of “Sullivan," whose real name is Ja cob A. Reich, and the final commitment of Webber were . primarily due to Krese’s evidence before the coroner From information that has i-eachad Dougherty he fears that an attempt will be made to kill Krese, so as to eliminate him as a witness. Guards to Remain With Witness. Dougherty would'not say what this information Is, but- he attaches consid erable importance to it. These men will stay with Krese as long as the witness' life is considered in danger, and will accompany him back and forth between his home, his work and police headquarters and the district attorney's office. It had been agreed that Krese should give a false address when asked on the stand to tell where he lives. Krese has told of seeing Rosenthal slain, of watching Webber stand among the men who killed the gambler and of Webber's flight when the final shots were fired. District Attorney Whitman today re iterated his belief that the men who actually killed Rosenthal have not yet been captured.. Deputy Dougherty and Inspector Hughes said no further ar rests were expected for a day or two, but it was learned today at police head quarters that detectives had picked up the trail of the men now at liberty and wanted for the murder—Harry B. Horo witz. "Lefty" Louis, "Whitey” Lewis and Sam Schepps. Comment on Gaynor’s Letter Superfluous, Says Whitman. Commenting on Mayor Gaynor's let ter to Police Commissioner Waldo, in which the mayor assailed those who have criticised the police because of the Rosenthal murder. District Attorney Whitman said: "There is but one issue and 1 have but one concern in this matter. Her man Rosenthal, as he himself had an nounced publicly, was to come to my house with his wife Tuesday morning to supply me with evidence of a corrupt alliance between the police and the law breakers in this city. He was butch ered in the most brilliantly lighted street in Nfew York, because, as I be lieve, he was coming to see me. He was shot down by four or more mur derers in a block literally swarming with policemen. Notwithstanding their presence, there was not the semblance of an effort to apprehend the murderers and the pretext of a pursuit is so silly and transparent that it ought not to deceive a ten-year-old child. Nearly two weeks have elapsed and the actual murderers, in my opinion, are at large. Any further comment seems superflu ous." TEXAS TRIES TOBAR 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 frbm voting. This power, he said, was delegated to the county executive committees.

Several months ago he was for bidden by Mr. and Mrs. McGinnis to enter their home. This opposition on tlie part of the parents did not discourage Harless and he would meet his sweetheart on street corners, at stores and churches and fre quenly she would slip out of »er home and meet him in response to his whistle signal. The irate parents did every thing in their power to break up the courtship. They would hang up the phone on the young man and even threatened to have him arrested, it is said.

EXTRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE NO OK HISIfT THEHEIHT TO BOOT ME —MRS. ULRICH Mrs. Grace’s Mother Says Wo man Good All Her Life Can’t Turn Bad in Minute. AGED PARENT TO BE WITH DAUGHTER THROUGH TRIAL Declares Only the Law Can Keep Her From Side of the Accused Daughter. Mrs. Martha Ulrich, mother of Mrs. Daisy Grace, gave to The Georgian to day a statement expressing her confi dence in her daughter’s innocence of any crime and her belief that Mrs. Grace must surely be acquitted of the charge against her. Mrs. Ulrich is spending the day with Mrs. Grace at the home in West End, where the ac cused woman has lived quietly since be ing admitted to bond. Her statement follows: By MRS. MARTHA ULRICH. Os course, my daughter is not ' guilty. If I had known nothing of the case and of Eugene Grace. I would say that, because I know my daughter—l know her every im pulse and tendency, and I know that she could not have attempted to take a life. The entire sugges tion appeals to me as being impos sible according to the laws of na ture. A woman who has been good all her life can't turn in a minute. Daisy was always kind and loving. She hasn’t it in her heart to hurt anybody or anything. She's had children and she has been a per fect mother to the one child who lived. “Daisy Never Has Deceived Her Mother.’’ If she had shot Gene, I would have known it the moment I looked al her. Daisy never deceived me in her life—her nature is now such that she could not if she would. When 1 looked into her eyes as she came up the steps of our home in Philadelphia 1 saw that she was In nocent. Then, there’s the letter, which ia certainly a substantiation of what she told the officers. The letter was w ritten by her to me several days before Eugene was shot. It told me that Eugene was coming to Phila delphia and named the exact hour. I can not say how he was shot. I can not explain the mystery, but I know in my heart that Daisy could not be guilty. For that rea son I know that the prosecuting at torney could not possibly obtain evidence which would lead a jury to pronounce her guilty. Just as 1 feel so do all of our friends in Pennsylvania feel. They knaw something of the real Daisy, and they know her utter incapacity for anything smacking of violence, deceit or treachery. Mrs. Ulrich arrived late yesterday almost exhausted by the long journej from Philadelphia and anxiety to see Mrs. Grace. Mrs. Ulrich was met by Attornej John W. Moore and hurried through the station to a waiting automobile The meeting of mother and daughtet was touching. "It's been so long, dealest—so long.’ exclaimed Mrs. Grace as she held her mother to her. The frail little woman came dressed in a simple gown of black. A small purse and a traveling bag were her only hand baggage. On her breast she wore a tiny Sunday school pin, given tor answering the roll call for 52 con secutive Sundays. Wanted to T?ll What She Thought of Grace. In the automobile, the trio—Mrs. Ul rich. Mrs. Grace and Mr. Moore —were driven direct to the attorney’s offices In the Peters building. There Mqs. Ulrich’s face showed the emotion she felt. In reply to a reporter's question sire would have talked of Eugene Grace, but her daughter interrupted her. "Don't. mother," cautioned Mrs Grace, and the little woman sank on a great couch In the private office. Nearly two hours were spent in the consulta tion with Attorney Moore, then the mother and daughter left the building.
