Dallas Fallin, Again
Under Arrest.
COLUMBUS, GA„ April 22.—
Spending a year on the State farm
did not reform Dallas .Fallin, who
has fallen into the toils of the law
again, his offense being committed
this time in Muscogee County, when
sold a Bible intended for Thomas
Edgar Stripling, who is serving a
life term for murder, and kept the
proceeds from the sale.
Last week Fallin appeared in Co
lumbus and going to the Stripling
home stated he was Will Proctor, a
guard at the State farm, in the city
on business, and that knowing her
husband, he thought probably she
would want to send him something.
Mrs. Stripling had recently purchased
a new Bible which she intended
sending her husband and she gave
It to him to be delivered to Strip
ling. When the deception was dis
covered, Fallin was arrested. He is
now in Muscogee County Jail.

WASHINGTON, April 22.—That the
American manufacturer, spurred by a
competitive tariff to greater activity
t retain control of his home market.
Will increase his efficiency to such an
, stent that he will make new trade
conquests abroad is the prediction of
Democratic members of the House
Ways and Means Committee, who
framed the Underwood tariff bill.
Their report, signed by the four
teen Democratic members of the com
mittee, was presented to the House
to-day. They estimate that for the
fiscal year following the passage of
the bill the receipts of the Govern
ment will he less than the disburse
ments by $68,790,000. To meet this
deficit the income tax lias been
framed. It is estimated the revenue
from thlB tax will be $170,125,000.
According to the committee’s esti
mate, the customs revenues from the
Underwood bill will be $37,896,000 less
than the customs receipts from the
Payne law in 1912.
Difference in Revenue.
Estimates of the difference in reve
nue on separate commodities are
given in the following table:
Underwood
Commodity. Old Tariff. Bill.
Chemicals $12,239,742 $12,985,000
Earthenware ... 11,156,221
Metal 17,346,221
Wood .. 3,042,834
Sugar . 50,951,000

Wool 27,072,000
Silk 13,695,000
Pulp and paper. 4,886,000
Sundries 59,952,000
The average reductions
from the present Payne law to the
Underwood bill by schedules are as
follows:
Chemicals, from 25 to 19 per cent;
earthenware, 50 to 33; metals, 34 to
Vi 20; wood, 12 to 3; sugar, 48 to 35;
| agricultural, 29 to 16; spirits; 83.98 to
83.30; cotton, 45 to 30; flax, 45 to 20;
U wool, 55 to 18; silks, 51 to 44; pulp
^ and paper, 21 to 11; increases, tobac
co, 82 to 86; sundries, 24 to 33.
It is estimated that the amount of
dutiable importations under the bill
would increase in value from $759,-
209,915 to $>98,956,000. The average
duty under the Payne law is 40.12 per
cent, as against an estimated average
’ fluty under the Underwood bill of 29.60
per cent.
425,000 Incomes Taxable.
Under the income tax law it is esti
mated that 425,000 incomes, includ
ing corporations, .as well as individ
uals, will be taxable. The greatest
amount of revenue, according to the
I. calculations, will be derived from in
comes within the range from $25,000
to $100,000. Over 100 incomes taxable
at 1 per cent as well as 1, 2 and 3 per
cent surtaxes, are included in the
reckoning.
The income from the tax on these
immense incomes will bring in all
told $5,824.00. The committee esti
mates that 126,000 incomes between
$4,000 and $5,000 will be subject to
the 1 per cent tax, yielding $630,000.
According to the estimates, how
ever, the greatest nuumber of taxable
Incomes will be in the range of $6.-
000 to $10,000. These will yield to the
Government, if the expectations of
the committee calculates* are borne
out by experience, $5,349,tee.
The income tax, says the commit
tee's report, furnishes an easily col

- Assistant City Attorney W. D. El
lis, Jr., was there, but announced that
his capacity was only that of ad
viser. City Attorney Mayson was not
present, it is said, because he ex
pects to be called as a witness to de
fend Alderman Maddox.
“I think the resolution ordering this
investigation instructs the City Attor
ney to take charge of the case,” said
Attorney JRosser.
“It authorizes me to get the truth,”
said Mr. Ellis. f
“Well, I don’t mean to Invite your
legal talents against me,” said Mr.
Rosser, “but I’ve seen this neutral at
titude tried by solicitors. You’ve got
to be on one side or the other.”
Put It Up to Committee.
Mr. Ellis finally said it was up to
the committee what attitude he should
take.
Charles T. Hopkins, attorney for
Mr. McClelland, had to leave Atlanta
for Washington to-day, and he re
quested a postponement of the inves-
| tigation until he returned. But Attor-
j ney Rosser insisted on action, and the
committee decided to begin the actual
ng of testimony to-morrow after
noon.
Since securing his leave of absence
from Council, Alderman McClelland
has let it be known that he does not
intend to be present during the inves
tigation. This is displeasing to the
accused Aldermen, who relied on
counter charges to be made during the
examination of witnesses.

SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 22.
The draft of President Wilson's
second message to the people of
California, advising moderation in
anti-alien land legislation, wu
received by Governor Hiram
Johnson this afternoon. The Gov-
ernor at once began tha prepa
ration of a mossage submitting
President Wilson's message to the
California Legislature. It was re
ported at noon that tha message
would probably go to the Senate
late to-day.
WASHINGTON, April 22.—Presi
dent Wilson to-day appealed to Gov
ernor Hiram Johnson, of California,
and through him to the people of Cal
ifornia, not to pass any alien land law
which might antagonize Japan and
embroil the entire United States In a
conflict with the Japanese.
The President's message to Gov
ernor Johnson read:
I speak upon the assumption,
which I am sure is well founded,
that the people of California do
not desire their representatives—
and that their representatives do
not wish nor Intend—in any cir-
stances to embarrass the Govern
ment of the United States in Its
dealings with a nation with whom
it has most earnestly and cor
dially sought to maintain rela
tions of genuine friendship and
good will, and that, least of all,
they desire to do anything that
might Impair treaty obligations
or cast a doubt upon the honor
and good faith of the nation and
its Government.
Anxious to Avoid Challenge.
I therefore appeal with the ut
most confidence to the people, the
Governor and Legislature of Cali
fornia to act in the matter now
under consideration in a manner
that can not, from any point of
view, be fairly challenged or nailed
fn question.
If they deem it necessary to ex
clude all the aliens who have not
declared their intentions to be
come citizens from the privileges
of land ownership, they can do so
along lines already followed in
the laws of many of the other
States, and as many foreign coun
tries, including Japan herself, in
vidious discrimination will Inev
itably bring In question the treaty
obligations of the Government of
the United States.
Appeals to National Honor.
I register my very earnest and
Tespectful protest against dis
crimination in this case not only
because X feel it my duty to do so
aB the Chief Executive of the na
tion. but also—and the more read
ily—because I believe that the
people and the legislative author
ities of California will generous
ly respond the moment the matter
is frankly presented to them as a
question of national policy and
national honor. If they have ig
nored this point of view, it is, I
am sure, because they did not
realize what and how much was
involved.
WOODROW WILSON.
Californians Defiant.
Prior to issuing the appeal, Presi
dent Wilson conferred with members
of the California delegation. They
threw down the gauntlet of defiance,
saying that California is a sovereign
State and as such is Justified in pass
ing such laws a? she sees fit.
Representative Baker was particu
larly emphatic on this point, and In
dlcated to the President that an In
fringement of the states' rights prln
cip'e would not only he hotly resent
ed by California, but it would hasten
the passage of a stringent antl-Jep-
anese land law bill.
Ineligible Orientals
Only Are Affected.
SACRAMENTO, CAL. April 22.—
When finally amended the anti-alien
land bill will be worded to apply only
to Orientals ineligible to citizenship.
Administration leaders fear the re
sult of shutting out European capi
tal by making the measure apply to
all aliens.
"The bill.” said Senator Thompson,
“will be amended to put the ques
tion up to us of excluding only such
aliens as are not eligible to become
citizens.”

matl wealthy residents of Long

Miss Phillips told the police that
there was an organized traffic in

checked himself when he was on the
point of denying It.

only thing 1 can say Is that he has not
yet been appointed.”
This of course. It manifestly true.
The fact remains, however, that
Judge Miller will be appointed, ths
only question being where he will be
sent.

Youth Escaped Montgomery Jail
as He Was Held for Crime
Committed in Atlanta.
Benjamin W. Brumby, known to the
Pinkertons as "king of the forgers”
and wanted In Atlanta for three al
leged forgeries on local banks, is un
der arrest in San Francisco, accord
ing to r telegram received to-day
by the local brunch of the Pinkerton
Agency.
Brumby, at one time, was almost
tn the hands of the Atlanta authori
ties. He was arrested In Montgomery,
Ala., after he fled this city and was
being held in the jatl there to await
the arrival of Atlanta officers. Last
Christmas night, a day or two after
his wife had visited him in the Jail,
he sawed Ills way through the bars
and made a clean escape. It always
has been the belief that his wife
aided him in his escape.
Brumby was charged with forging
the names of Alex. W. Smith and
Thod A. Hammond to checks aggre
gating more than $1,000. One was
for $592 60, another for $380 and a
third for $65. His plan was to gain
access to the offices of prominent
business men by the use of skeleton
knye, botaln canceled checks and also
s supply of blank checks. Using the
canceled checks as models, he would
fill out the blank checks for aijy
amount he desired. In this the Pin
kertons say that he has probably no
superiors in the country. Two of the
Atlanta banks were his victims
Brumby's record is said to include
two terms tn the Missouri State Pen
itentiary and a term in Sing Sing
As well as being one of the cleverest
forgers with whom the authorities
have had to deal, he is regarded as a
desperate man.
The telegram from San Francisco
said that Brumby had confessed to
forgeries there and would be pros
ecuted. Chief Beavers wired the
Western authorities to hold him when
they were through with him so that
he might be brought back to At
lanta.
