BRAKES ON TAX CUTS URGED BY MANAGERS OF SENATE MEASURE (Continued from First Page.) cut, Senator Reed, Republican, Penn- sylvania, declared ‘“you are giving away another $8,000,000 without the revenue to meet the loss.” Senator Smoot also told the Senate he could not vote for any more reductions. “Gift to Ol Industry.” Senator Couzens urged that the provision allowing deductions for de- pletion in discoveries to owners of oil wells and mines be wiped out en- tirely, since it amounted to a “gift of $37,500,000 a year in taxes to the ofl industry.” The Senate, however, voted to con- tinue the allowance, but accepted the change proposed by the flnance com- mittee for basing the depletion to be allowed for oil and gas wells on a per- centage of the gross income. The committee had recommended an al- lowance of 25 per cent of the gross fncome, but after Senators Neeiy, Democrat, West. Virginia, and Har- reld, Republican, Oklahoma, had strongly urged a 30 per cent rate this figure was approved. The proposal to continue the Board of Tax Appeals, with a membership of 16, to be appointed for terms of 10 years, instead of 14 as provided by the House, also was approved. ROTHSCHILD CO. ACCUSED.

Mention of Word Liquor ‘“Befud- dles Brain,” Says Judge. PHILADBLPHIA, February 12 UP). —Prohibition is making most every one lose his mental equilibrium, in the opinion of Federal Judge O. B. Dickinson. “I don't know whether it’s the kind of stuff they sell nowadays or what it is,” remarked the judge during a hearing in his court yesterday, “but | the mere mention of the word ‘liquor’ now befuddles the brain, stops every one from thinking and sets them ‘woozy.’ Lawyers who specialize in cases arising wnder the Volstead act, Judge Dickinson added, appear to have the idea that ‘“some mysterious and om- nipotent power has wiped all the prin- ciples of law and equity off the law- books."™ .

Carefully stored away in a small brick house on a side street in Alex- andria, Va., are 2 number of old pic- tures, manuscripts and other relics— the foundation stones of an old and romantic version of the assassination of President Lincoln and of the weird events In the life of John Wilkes Booth, which almost overnight changed him from a mild and con- &enial man into 2 maniac. These musty tokens of another Washington were originally gathered together by E. A. Emerson, a close personal friend of Booth and an actor in the same troupe with him. They are now owned by Charles O. Emer- son, 318 North Royal street, Alexan- dria, a son of E. A. Emerson. In one of the papers Mr. Emerson, who was on the stage when the shot was fired, gives his own recollections of the ;‘hflooun‘ and consequent death of Lin- n. “I knew John Wilkes Booth well, having played with him in dozens of cities throughout the East and Mid- dle West,” Mr. Emerson writes. “He was a kind-hearted, genial person, and no cleverer gentleman ever lived. Everybody loved him on the stage, though he wus a little excitable and eccentric. Enraged at Lineoln. ‘The day befors President Lincoln was shot I was standing in front of Ford's Theater when John walked up, evidently in an agitated state of mind. He the cane from my hands and sald: ‘Ned, did you hear what ' that old scoundrel did the other day?" T asked him who he was talking wbout and he answered, “Why that 11d_scoundrel Lincoln. He went into house {n Richmond, mat down and threw his long legs over the arm of a chair and squirted to- haceo fuice all over the place. Some- body eught to kill him’ 1 sald, ‘For God's_sake, John, stop where you are. I am going to quit yo With that he pulled my cane down over his shoulders with such force that it broke in four pleces. I still have that cane. “'Of courwe, T was afraid of becom- ing involved in any trouble he might get into, and that is the nearest he ever came to maying anything to me about conspiracy. It never dawned on me that he had any intentlon of doing any bodily harm to the P'res! dent, for had T known it, even though 1 was his friend, I should certain have done all in my power to prevent it. 1 feel confident that at first his tdea was not to kill the President, but to capture him and carry him South to force an exchange of pris- oners by holding him as a hostage. Realizing the hopelessneas of this, however, 1 think he then conceived the idea of assasainating hir. Plans Assassination. “1 was standing in front of the theater on the day of the murder when a messenger from the President rode up and asked for a box for the President's party for the performance that evening. Replving that the theater was at Mr. Linc Mr. Ford, owner of the theater, took a pencil and wrote across the box of the state, ‘The President and his will be at the theater tonight’ “A few minutes later Dooth walked in_and, observing the no +aid, ‘What, that old scoundrel is going to be here tonight? Mr. Pord said, ‘Yes, John, but 1 'would not &peak of bim in that way if [ were you.’ With that Booth walked rapidly away and | disappeared. I don't know where hLe went. but my {dea fs that his p of killing the President and the heads of the cablnet was formed time. “On Friday night, April 15, 186 theater was crowded and the pes ance was going along smoothly. Lincoln’s party was late in arriving and we were {n the mid:t of the sec- ond act when they arrived and went up to the box that had been saved for them. After some difficuity in quieting the audience, the President seated himself and requested me (I was on the stage at the time) to go on with the play. Booth Slays Lincoln. “After the scene was over, ing the first night that I had played my part, I stood near a gas jet on the stage, just under Mr. Lincoin's box. reading over my lines. Suddenly a | shot rang out, apparently coming from the audience. It startled me and everything was confusion out in front. I walked out to the center of the stage and while standing there I was amazed to see his halr in wild aisorder, leap from the upper box. He caught his spur in a flag draped under the box and fell heavily, but this did not prevent him from rushing franti- cally down to the footlights, brandish- ing a large bowie knife in his hands and crying ‘Sic Semper Tyrannis. Turning, he rushed directly across the stage to the right and up the side wall to the back of the theater, whers he had a little stable in which he kept his horse and buggy. There was & boy holding the horse in the alley. Booth mounted the horse, struck the boy in the chest and galloped down the alley to F street and out F, I presume, to the Anacostia bridge and across the bridge into Maryland. “In the pandemonium which fol- lowed no one seemed to know just what to do, and it was nearly 12 bours later before any pursuit of the assas- sin was gotten under way. In at. tempting to grapple with Booth as he leaped from the box Maj. Rathborn, & member of the President’s party, was severely cut on the arm. “Laura Kean, one of the leading members of our company, Was the first to reach the box, and when I saw her she was holding the Presi- dent’s head in her lap and the hand- some yellow satin dress she wore in her part was stained all down the front with his blood. All in Quandary. "m"mz l‘rlxtw d.f?lofo".h hl;]rli around of 3 - dent’s clothes in search of the fatal wound, he was placed on a shutter and carried from the theater out into the street. As no one seemed to know what to do with him, he was taken into a house across the street and car- ried into & small hall bedroom and placed on & little cot. There, sur- rounded by his family and his cabinet, he died the next momln’." Most of the company in which Mr. Emerson was playing were arrested and he had to report to the police every day until the matter was finally cleared up with the capture of Booth and the execution of his alleged con- federates. That was the last play in which Mr. Emerson ever took part. Perhaps the most prized relic in Mr. Emerson’s collection is a faded and crumpled program with a small blood spot in the upper left hand corner. This program was found on the floor to the right of Mr. Lincoln's chair with the wet blood spot on it when Mr. Emerson hurried up to the box after the shooting. ey Influenza was coined by the Italiany in the seventeenth century, Who be- lleved the disease was due te the action of certain planets. |3 n's disposal, | it be | T0 ENFORGE LAW Leading Capital Residents to Take Up Problems at Lin- coln Dinner.
