INCOME m 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 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. The fight for the measure was led by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who opened the debate with a two-hour speech. He stated that he personally favored a straight personal income tax, snd was supported in his opinion by tin fact that 34 states have already adopted the amendment to the consti tution of tlie United States authorizing • congress to lay such a tax. But. he said, tin Democrats generally believed ft t<> be safer to accomplish the same resuit bj merely extending the exist ing corporation income tax to individ uals. Under the provisions of this measure the man with an income of $5,C00 a year, or less, is exempt from taxation Those whose yearly net Intone 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 Jonh D. Rockefeller’s income is $25,- 000,000. as lias been estimated, his tax would be $249,950. It hps been computed that the bill pas.-cd by the senate yesterday will raise an annual revenue of $60,000,000. I General Tariff On Program WASHINGTON, July 27.—Prospects for an early adjournment of congress received another jolt today when Ma jority Deader Underwood of the house declared the general tariff question will be fought out following the passage of the various appropriation bills. The supply hills will not be passed before August 15, said Underwood, and if tariff egislatlon is taken up there will be no adjournment before September 1. Should the Impeachment proceedings igainsk Judge Archbald be begun im mediately, the house may remain in session another month, adjourning some time late in October.

BOSTON, July 27.—Crowds gathered at Faneuil hall today for the first state convention of tlie Bull Moose party.

Moose Convention To Be Held Secretly CHICAGO, July 27.—The first ward conventions to name delegates to the third party state convention in Illinois will be held 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 witli the nomination of a third state ticket.

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 Dodge, speaking against the free sugar bill, said: “Taking the figures of the bureau of labor as correct—and my own personal observation before 1 knew them con firmed by tlie 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 cent tier year.” He said the people were not askitu free sugar, but that the whole agita tion was created b> the Federal Sugar Refining Company, owned by the Spreckels interests THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

P/easeNote the Turkish Trousers A Effect of EowerPart of Gown 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, era 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 materrial, 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 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 1 was afraid many orders given would never be filled. English laces have taken a back seat in the fashionable world at pres ent. and the Nottingham makers are forced to imitate continental laecs. Irish lace is not in demand."

S. Morgan, of this city, has filed suit here against Ordinary A. V. Simms, of this county, for $25,000 forfeiture.

The man was con victed of the charge, and Is now serv ing his 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.
