It was brought to the front rel- ative to the finance committee's sub for the house provision in the tariff bill regulating the admission of Phil- ippine articles jnto the United States, and it received practically the undivid- ed attention of the senate throughout the day. Connecticut Tobacco, Interests. During the first hour that the amend- ment was before the senate, there was some discussion about the' effect of the provision upon the tobacco inter- ests of Connecticut, but an amend- ment looking to the introduction of Connecticut tobacco into the Philip- pines and for wrappers had the effect of relfeving the situation in that quar- ter. Both Provisions Criticised. Attention was then directed to the clauses providing a duty on sugar ad- mitted into the Philippines equal to that on sugar brought into the United States and exempting three hundred thousand ‘tons of Philippine sugar from duty when brought into the Unit- ed States. Senator Bristow criticised footh provisions, and his criticisms opened the way for a general debate, which was participated in on the one side by Messrs. Bristow and Clapp, and on the other by Senators Aldrich and Lodge. It was contended on the one hand that the two provisions combined were intended to promote the interests of the American Sugar trust and not to benefit the Philippine ,producers, while it was argued by the ‘supporters of the provision that to admit sugar into the islands free of duty would be 1o open the way for its free admission into this country 7 It was also argued that the sugar producers of the Philippines would be directly benefited Ly the admission of their sugar into = the United States without duty on ft/ One Vote During Day. . The only vote taken during the day gession was an amendment by Mr. Bristow admitting sugar into the Phil- ippines free of duty. It was lost 11 to 49. Independence of the Islands. Senator Stone of Missouri gave no- tice th#t he wolld soon offer an amendment declaring for ‘the indepen- dence of the Philippines istand within 15 vears, an agreemént having beén arrived at meanwhile with the world powers to maintain the independence of the island. Endorsement of President Rumored. It was freely rumored around the senate chamber that the Philippines tariff paragraph has the endosement of President Taft in his own hand- writing, and late in the day Senator Aldrich announced that it had been endorsed by the president. Senator Clapp expressed ineredulity on that point. The senate took a recess until eight o'clock. The house held an unimport- ent_ten-minute session and adjourned until Thursdas. ’ Night Session of Senate—Waning In- terest in Tariff Procesdings. Washington, June 14.—The waning of Interest in the tariff proccedings was evidenced by the small attendance in the galleries when the senate met to- night. Not more than half of the membership was present. Discussion of the Philippine. free trade section of the bill was resumed by Mr. Stone of Missouri, who spoke on_his amendment giying the Philip- wines freedom after fifteen years. Mr. Stone's amendment was lost by @ vote of 44 to 18. Mr. Chamberlan voted with the republicans. A motion by Mr, Bulkeley to refer tha finance committee’s Philippine provision to th. committee on the Philippines was also defeated, 44 to 21, Fifteen Years—President Favors Philippine Paragraph No More Night Sessions. Mr. Aldrich asked that the order governing the sessions of the senate be so changed that the senate should meet at 10 o'clock in the morning and sit_continuously until 7, o'clock in the evening. The order was changed and there will be no more night sessions. At Mr. Aldrich's request the vote on Mr. La Follette's amendment was post- poned until after the finance commit- tee acts tomorrow on the free tobaceo provision of the Philippine free trade section. Senators Brandegee and Fletcher desired to offer amendments to reduce the quantity of free tobacco and it was decided to let the whole Philippine section go over until the committee reports. Mr. Bulkeley spoke extensively on the conditions in the Philippifes and the_effect of the tobacco provision, of the Philippine free trade section. The senate adjourned at 11 o'clock until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. INCOME TAX QUESTION Comes Up for a Vote Next Friday— Plans of the Opponents. ‘Washington, June 14—When the in- come tax question comes before the senate for a vote, next Friday, the plan of its opponents, backed by the interest of President Taft, to \eircum- vent the adoption of uch a measure, will be outlined. Substitute Amednment. Already the opponents express con- fidence in their -ability to -substitute for the income-tax gmendment a pro- ision for a tax on net earnings of corporations, available for dividend purposes, coupled with a provision for the snbmission to the legislatures of several states, a constitutional amend- ment giving congress the power to pay and collect direct taxes on incomes. It is understood at ‘the capitol that & number of “progressive” republicans have expressed their willingness to support an amendment providing for a tax of two per cent. on the undis- tributed net earnings of. corporations, available dividend purposes, if an amendment is adopted, submitting to the states the question of adopting an amendment to. the_legislature giving to congress the right to collect direct taxes on incomes. Senator Aldrich was at the White house today and was the guest of President Taft at Tuncheon. They dis- cussed this proposal at great length, and the chairman of the finance com- mittee added with the president that such a plan would be wise. The President’s Position as Under- stood. It is understood that the president believes the income tax question should not again be submitted to the supreme court, but he takes the posi- tion, it is said, that congress should be given the power to levy taxes on incomes. It is his theory, according to members of ‘the senate who have talked with him, that the right of con gre:s to levy such a tax should be de- termined as soon as possible so that this method of raising revenues could be avallable in time of war or emer- gency of any character. That the president is not in favor of the direct taxes, and that sufficient revenue can be produced without them is asserted by many senators opposed to the income tax. Harmony with the attitude of the president in this regard, the provision for a tax on un- distributed net “earnings of corpora- tions, would, if adopted, probably be limited to a period of two years. The idea back of the provision for a short term tax is that sufficient revenues would be produced in two years to wipe out the deficit in the treasury and put the government finances on a firm footing. It is argued that the law could be extended by a vote of con- gress if necessary. e VOTED AGAINST EXPELLING PROF. GEORGE B. FOSTER Whose Utterances on Religious Sub- Jjects Were Criticised by Baptists. Chicago, June 14.—The Baptist min- Mery conference, by a vote of 37 to 14, decided against expelling from embership Prof. George B. Foster of he univergity of Chicago, whose pub- shed utterances on religious subjects ave been criticised by Baptist min- sters as heretical. The show of ptrength came on a resolution offered a sub-resolution to expel Professor ster, which in substance was a re- tion by the ministers of their nce to the Baptist church, of their belief in the Deity, the Biple, and the cardinal doctrines of ortho- doxy. regardless of the beliefs or words of Professor Foster or any oth- The adoption of the sub-resolution in effect defeated the original resolu- tion and without further discussion the conference adjourned. HAD HIS CASE CONTINUED. Bookkeeper Brigham of Merchants Bank, New Haven, Brought Down from Jail New Haven, June 14.—A continuance of a fortnight was agreed to in the case of Frederick H. Brigham, the bookkeeper of the Merchants National bank, today, when it was calléd be- fore U. 8. Commissioner Wright, and the bonds remain unchanged at $15, 000. Attorney Webb, for Brigham, said he wished further time in which to inquire into the case, #nd there was 1o objection, as the federal authori- ties apparently wanted some delay. Brigham was brought down from ail. He declined to talk to those who greeted him, in the federal court room, upon advice of bis counsel. Fe did not-seem & bit worrled.

Who the Conferees Will Be—Final Vote Before July 1. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, June 14.—Leaders in the senate now express themselves as con- fident that the tariff fight in the sen- ate is fast drawing to a close and that the final vote will be taken before July 1st. This again brings forward the question of conference between the two houses and speculation as to the makeup of the conference committee is once more an important topic. It is conceded that the struggle between the senate and the house in committee will be strenuous, as the two bills are radically different, and it is eenerally understood that the house members of the committee will refuse to give in to the-senate changes. It may be the bill will be in conference three weeks or a month, but when it comes out it is expected it will pass both houses without any trouble. A There will be five republican senators and five republican members of the house on the committee, according to present plans. Senators Aldrich, Bur- rows, Penrose and Hale are sure to be on the committee. It is predicted that Senator Cullom, who would naturally be the fiftth member, is not to go on, and that someone from the west will be selected in his place. If so, it will probably be Senator Smoot, who has been one of Senator Aldrich's chief lieutenants, although Senator McCum- hler is also méntioned in this connec- tion, At one time it looked as though Mr. il would not be on the committee n conference, hut at present his chances look very bright. Mr. Payne, Mr. Dalzell ‘and ' Mr. Boutell are the other mémbers sure to go on. Whether Mr. McCall will go on or not seems doubtful at this time, as the middle west is clamoring for one representa- tive, and New England has more than its share. The fight seems to be be- tween Mr. Calderhead of Kansas and Mr. Fordney of Michigan, provided, of course, Mr. McCall is passed by. Present indications seem to indicate that the following will constitute the membership of the conference commit- tee: Senators Aldrich, Burrows, Pen- rose, Hale and Smoot, Representatives Payne, Dalzell, Hill, Boutell and Ford- This is a strong committee and the house members are expected to stand up for the bill that passed the house. On the other hand, it is pre- dicted that the senate members will be willing to concede many points, but the deliberations will be siow and tedious. Those who. expect to be on the confer- ence committee are now studying hard the two bills, and when the proper time comes they will go into conter- ence well prepared as to the various schedules. PRESIDENT PENNA DEAD. Head' of United States of Brazil Ex- pires Suddenly. ‘Washington, June 14.—Dr., Alfonso Moreira Penna, president of Brazil, died at half past 7 o'clock this morning, according to a despatch received at the state department from the American ambassador at Rio de Janeiro. The death of Dr. Penna evidently was sudden. Other than a desgich received from Rio de Janeiro lasy 42)! saying that he was gravely ill (Feho as a consequence ‘the ministefs\, had heen summoned to the palace there has been no intimation that he was in il health. The last report of his doings concerned the opening of the Brazilian congress on May 4 and his message to that body, and two weeks later his're- fusal to accept the resignation of the Brazilian minister of finance, Dr. Penna was elected to office by universal suffrage in the twenty fed- erated states in 1906 and assumed of- fice Nov. 15 of that year. His term would have expired in 1910. He was a native of the state of Minas Geraes and his success was due to a coalition of the principal states —against Sao Paulo, which had supplied all past presidents. The vice president’ of the republic today is Nilo Pecanha. On June 10 it was announced in Rio de Janeiro that Marchal Hermes Fonseca was a can- didate for the presidency in succession to Dr. Penna.

New. York, June _14—Abandonment will be the sole issue upon which the suit for separation brought by Katha- rine Clemmons _Gould inst ier husband, Howard' Gould, third son of the late Jay Gould, #will be decided. This ruling was made late today in the supreme dourt by Justice Dowling, who is hearing the case, after counsel for Mrs. Gould had rested the case for the plaintiff. This sweeps away several phases of the case—notably cruelty and non. na;pon—ua is a partial victory for Howard Gould. As to the charge of abandonment, the court held that this too might not stand uniess the plaintiff was able to show that Howard Gould's stipulations for a reconciliation with his wife were unreasonable. This phase of the case will be argued tomorrow. No Further’ Mention of the Sports. Inasmuch * as the abandonment charge evidently is to be considered, o e ¢ Have Joined the Agreement, the Open Shop Basis—Terms Broucht About by lw..M. C. Meserve. / Danbury, June 14.—The hatters’ strike which has been in progress in this city, New Milford and Bethel for the past five months was brought to a close tonight when the seven factories which did not open last week entered into an agreement with the local un- jons late today and will open for work in the morning. A On the Open Shop Basis. The terms of the agreement, which brought about by Rev. M. C. Me- serve, were not made public, but were probably the same as those entered into by the other manufacturers,~which was on an open shop basis, with all difficulties to be settled by arbitration. The manufacturers also agree to re- sign from the Hatters' association. Largest Factories of Those on Strike. The factories which will open in the morning: E. A. Mallory & Sons, J. W.

But it still leaves the ques- tion of Mrs. Gould's alleged indulgenec in intoxicants. Mrs. Gould Blushed a Dark Red. Whatever bearing the events of the day will have on the yltimate decision in’the case, honors were about even in the verbal battle between the cross examiner and Mrs. Gould. Both sprung surprises. - The lawyer's most perti- nent and apparently embarrassing thrust was the exhibition of a faded, old-fashioned photograph of a young woman sitting on a_white horse, with the white canvas of a ecircus tent in the background. Mrs. Gould turned a dull red, when it was shown, but she would not identjtfy the photograph as one of herself, nor would she swear that it was not. She thought It was “hardly fat enough for me.” This pic- ture was introduced to show, if pos- sible, Mrs. Gould's former association with Buffalo Bill's show. She had de- nied on the stand that she was ia any way connected with the Wild West, though she admitted that she had traveled at times with Col. W. F& Cody and his daughter, and that he was hef manager. Cutting Retort from Mrs. Gould. In retaliation for the picture inci- dent, Mrs. Gould made one cutting re- tort to her_inquisitor. Mr. Nicoll had been asking the wit- ness about her gowns, how many she wore, how often she ‘wore them and what became of them. They were giv- en away, Mrs. Gould testified. “One of them,” she shot in, “was given to your own sister, who is on the stage. 1 have aided many poor girls to ‘et stage engagements by equipping them with my discarded gowns.’ “Did it become her?” was Mr. Nic- oll's only rejoinder. “Very Bad Taste” to Wear a Gown Twice. As was the case Friday, most of to- day was taken up in questioning Mrs. Gould concerning her lavish expendi tures. How many frocks to. wear a how long it took to dress and eclaration that it was “yery bad to wear a gown twice, were among the interesting fashion hints in the testimony. The name of Dustin Farnum, the actor, was again brought in, and George Gould testified how he instituted an investigation of an al- leged marriage of the plaintiff before she became his brother's wife. LOOTED A BAKERY WAGON. Driver Held and Bread and Rolls Thrown In Street. New York, June 14.—Samuel Rind- legf driver: of kery wagon, was at- tankep -‘An t One Hundred and Third street and Second avenue this morning.

Chicago; June 14—The highest June price far live hogs since 1882 was es- tablishell today at the Union” stock- vards, when best porkers sold at the long predicted figure of $8 per hun- dred pounds. This is the highest price except in 1902, recorded for any month since the Cudahy corner in pork in 1893, when live hogs sold at $8.75 per hundredweight. The prevailing high prices are due to unusually light receipts of live hogs this spring at all western packing cen- ters, the extremely high price of grain last year prompting many farmers to dispose of their stock rather than to pay exorbitant prices for foodstuft of today. DOUBTS ADAM AND EVE STORY The Virgin Birth and the R¥surrec- tion—Yet Is Admitted to the Pulpit. New York, June 14—Although the Rev. Archibald Black, a young Edin- burgh theological graduate, declares that he does not believe the Biblical accounts of Adam and Eve, the Vir- gin birth, or the Resurrection, he was admitted today to the pulpit by the New York prebytery, after a warm de- bate on heresy. His case was recent- ly held up and taken under advise- ment. The Rev. Edward Wylee, of the Scotch church, the Rev. Dr. Richards of the Brick church, and the Rev.

BEAN SOUP REMEDY FOR “STEADY DRUNKS.” New Jersey Sheriff Has a Sure Cure for Dipsomania. Burlington, N. J., June 14.—The “bean_soup” remedy introduced by Sheriff William W. Worrell as one of his economy and reform plans is not only saving Hurlington county several hundred dollars monthly, but is making more real converts to temperance than any cure yet discovered. Criminolo- gists who have studied the phenomenal résults of the bean_soup programme pronounce it a greater success than the “wash and work” edict by which the new sheriff has cleaned the county of tramps. Tramps were the scourge of small cities and towns about the county when Mr. Worrell went into qffice. Past conditions at the jail had made it a handy winter retreat for the idle. When Mr. Worrell made the tramp prisoners bathe, wash their cells, and do all the work about the jail, there was such a bolt to other counties that the saving on the tramp board bill alone would pay for a new jail bulld- ing. The sheriff a few weeks ago began to apply his new plan to the dipso- maniacs sent up as “steadies.” When the tramps deported the prison. work was given tg the habitual drunkards, but, in additlon, the sheriff prescribed a daily menu of bean soup for all such ‘prisoners. Protests from some of the prisoners under the unchanging diet of “bean soup” are reaching the outer world. One came to Police Captain Shumard of Burlington. It says in part: Dear Cap: I am writing to see you can’t get some of my time ta off. 1 don't like the bean soup th: serve out over here. They don't ev use white beans any more. They ma it out of yellow beans. soup just the same, and bewn soup évery day. I am a sobered man now. ke But it's bean nothing but Damn the beans! and I can keep sober five months, for if you get me out I won't come back to beans very soon. Cap, if you ever did anything for me in your life, do it now. Twenty tramps, who say they see things in a different light since sen- tenced to the bathtub by Sheriff Wor- rell, are working as industrious farm- hands in the countr, NARROW ESCAPE OF SCHOONER.
