M. Sim- ons. The report also shows that the bili as reported to the senate provides rates 4.22 per cent lower than the p Underwood bill as it passed the house. i A sallent feature of this bill, it is pointed out, is the large increase of imports to be admitted free of duty. ) Under the house bill the value of free listed imports was $103,000,000, where- as the Democrats of the senate in cau- b cus, by sweeping changes, propose to | free list Imports valued at $147,367: 000. ] Upon the basis of ten months for the coming fiscal year the report esti- mates that the receipts.from customs slone under the new bill will be $266,- 730,000; from income tax for ten months, $58,330,000; corporation tax, $87,000,000; internal revenue, includ- ing tax on cotton futures of $5,000, 000, $207,000,000, and that the reve- nue from all other sources will bring the total for the fiscal year to $996, 810,000. With disbursements estimat- ed at $994,790,000 a balance is shown | in favor of the government of $2,203, 000. . “House Changes Too Drastic.” | In analyzing its changes in the house administrative features of the bill the committee “deemed the amend- | ments of the house entirely too. dras- f tic.”~ Particular attention is called to the senate provision ‘“designated to furnish the president with power to [ impose tariff duties of a retaliatory character upon all articles comprised in a specific Iist,” which includes many agricultural products. “The provision now recommended,” says the report, “will, it is believed, place In the hands of the president powers which, though extensive in | their sphere, are sufficiently circum- scribed to permit of their being ex- erted within the limits assigned them, without disturbing the general fisoal system of the United States. Wise use of the retaliatory power will, it Is reasonably expected, bring about squitable arrangements with those countries which do not now afford us fair treatment.” Reduction of the basis of exemption from income tax from $4,000, as in the house bill, to $3,000 for unmarried per- sons, and the consequent rearrange ment of this, the report comments up on as follows: “Your committee reduces the amount of exemption of net income to $3,000, and allows on account of marriage an additional exemption of $1,000 to eith- or the husband or wife where they are Hving together, but not to both. In the case of minor child or children Uving with and dependent upon the parent, such parent is allowed an ad- ditional exemption of $500 for one minor child, and up to $1,000 on ae- sount of minor children, except where poth parents are taxable, in which cagse no exemption is allowable on ac- count of children.” FLASHLIGHT CAUSES PANIC Hundred Persons Injured Stampede to Escape. Newark, N. J., July 19.—Nearly 100 persons, many of them children, were injured, fortunately not more than two of them seriously enough to be taken to hospitals, in a panic at a moving picture exhibition here. The stampede followed the setting of a flashlight to take a photograph of the crowd. The exhibition was being given by the state board of health in conjunc- tion with the Newark Anti-Tuberculo- sis assoclation and hundreds of for- elgners were among the 1,500 or more & persons present. The failure of the forelgners to understand a motice flashed upon the -screen that the pic- ture would be taken is believed to ac- count for the panic.

The resolution would have called on President Wilson to advise the senate what salary would be sufficient to keep Mr. Bryan continuously at his post. Senators Poindexter and Borah vot- ed with the Democrats to table the resolution. The vote was 41 to 29. As the vote was announced Senator Bris- tow faced the Democratic senators and declared: “You may shut off debate in the senate but you cannot convince the American people that a secretary of state may neglect the duties of his office for three months of a year.” Vice President Marshall ruled Sen- ator Bristow out of order. “Are you really apprehensive?” in- terrupted Senator Vardaman, a Demo- crat, “that the business of the state department will suffer because Mr. Bryan is occasionally away?” “It has been said since this discus- sion began,” said Senator Bristow, “that the state department is better off with the secretary away than with him here. I believe if the secretary would give to the problems before him the powers of his great intellect he could perform a great service to the country. Whether subordinates in his department are better fitted to at- tend to the duties than he, I do not know.” SLAYER MADE VICTIM PRAY “He Broke Up My Home,” Says Jeal- ous Man, “and | Shot Him.” Savannah, Ga., July 19.—One of the most sensational murders and one which for cold bloodedness surpasses snything in the criminal history of this city occurred when F.

In speaking of the shooting later George said: “I shot him, then let him pray a while and then shot him again. I shot him three times in all.

Chinese Republic. . ““Peking, July 15—The situation | brought about by the rebellion in the southern provinces of China has im- proved somewhat. Fewer soldiers have deserted the government of Pro- visional President Yuan Shi Kai than had been anticipated by the authori- ties.
