We cannot refrain from expressing our protest that after ten days of earnest labor devoted to the censideration of evidence against these defendants our work is swept away by the autocratic act of an administrative official. “This grand jury, reposing the high- est faith in our rectitude of purpose, appeal to you publicly to discounte- nance the action thus taken and to uphold the hands of the United States attorney general in a vigorous prose- cution of all the defendants, without fear or favor. “This grand fury. which for four months was in almost daily contact with the United States attorney, John L. McNab, while he was engaged in the active performance of his duty, wish to_declare that we repose the most implicit_confldence in him both as Jawyer and man in all his official actions.” 7 House to Investigat: Washington, June 24—The house judiciary committee at a hearing on Thursday will investigate the delay ordered by Attorney General McRey- nolds in federal prosecutions at San Franciseo of Maury Diggs and Drew C.

INCOME - TAX ALTERED Made to Apply to Incomes Over $3,000 —F.niynvpre!nh Heeded—Vote on Wool and Sugar Schedule Today. Washington, . June 24, — Radical changes in the income tax plan of the Underwood tariff bill and alteration of the administrative features of the measure to overcome most of the ob- Jections raised by forelgn governments were agreed Gpon in a tentative way today by the' democratic members of the senate finance committee. The income tax under the new plan would apply to individual incomes over $3,000, but would make important ex- emptions for individuals, municipali~ ties, civic bodies and mutual insurance companies, under certain restrictions. Several Provisions Stricken Out. Changes in the administrative Sec- tions include a new provision giving the president authority to Increase tariff duties against certain foreign articles coming from countries that discriminate against the United States. ; i The propoied five per cent. conces- sion in tariff on goods brought in American - ships, the anti-dumping clause, and the provision giving United States authorities Yinquisitorial pow- ers” to examine hooks of foreign man- ufacturecs, when the valuation of gooas is in dispute, were stricken out. These provisions brought protests from many foreign nations. Vote on Wool and Sugar Today. Democrats of the committee made it, clear today that some further changes might be made in the income tax and administrative sections before they were reported to the genate caucus, but the revised sections as made public today are expected to stand with but little alteration until the caucus reach- es them. Senate democrats in caucus on the Dill spent the entire day on wool and sugar. Just before adjournment’ to- night Chairman - Simmons of the finance committee secured agreement to vote upon both not later than four o'clock tomorrow. No amendment to the free wool provision has been offer- ed, but the majority senators will have an oppertunity to express theirsopin- ions on two sugar amendments. Amendment to Sugar Schedule. Senator Shafroth offered one to fix the rate at the end of three y@ars at about one-half cent a pound instead of the free list provision now in the bill. Senator Thornton offered the sec- ond amendment, to provide that the rates remain as they are in the Payne- Aldrich act. It was regarded as probable tonight that the anti-free sugar men would get togother tomorrow befors the vote taken and decide to concentrate their support behind one amendment if the other is beaten. Leaders of the majority were confident that despite the oratory against free sugar it would be retained in the bill and that only the two Louisiana senators would be found opposed to it when the measure reaches the senate. Consideration for Married Porsons. Under the proposed new form of the income tax an additional exemption of $1,000 would be allowed to married men or married women with dependent wives or husbands, not taxable under this law, and $300 would be added for each dependent child living with and depending upon the taxable parent. In case of both parents being taxable, however, no exemption for children would apply. Other important changes in the plan include the exemption from taxation of that portion of the premiums col- lected by the mutual life_or mutual marine insurance companles which may be returned to policyholders in the form of dividends. The taxation of this portion of their income had been bitterly opposed by the insurance companies. - The Underwood bil\ had exempted only mutual fire insurance companles on this basis. Civie Organizations Exempted. Chambers of commerce, civic. bodies and cities, countles and states are add- ed to the class of erganizations whose incomes will nmot be taxable. To secure the payment of (ax upon “coupons, checks or bills of exchange.” collected for foreign residents, a pro- vision was added requiring all firms | collecting such funds to securs a li- cense from the commissioner of inter- nal revenue, se the amount of their | collections might at any time be in- quired inte. Revision of Revenue Administration Laws. The revision of the administration features eliminates many of the re- forms proposed in the Underwood biil as it passed the house. The senate | committee proposes an amendment, however, providing for a joint commit- tes to investigate the revenue -admin- istration laws, with the view to “sim- | plifying, harmonizing, revising and codifying” them. | This committee would consist of three senators to be appointed by the vice president and four members of the ways and means committee to be appoinfed by the speaker, and their recommendations would be required to | be reported not later than Feb. 1, 1914. An appropriation of $15,000 for the in- vestigation is recommended. Exclusion of Products of Child Labor. In striking out provisions against which foreign nations protested the | Benate democrats acted upon the be- | lief that the proposed requirements | Wwere “unnecessarily inquisitive” and | would hamper {mportation and possi- | bly provoke retaliation, i ‘Articles manufactured by child labor | would be excluded, together with con- | vict labor goods, through an amend- ment by Benator Borah which the | finance committes adopted. It would | exclude all foreign goods except im- mediate preducts of agriculture, for- | ests and fisheries manufactured wholly or in part by cemvict labor or by chil- | dren under 14 years of age.

Washington, June 24.—An adeqtate American navy means a fleet second only to that of Great Britain and “in- adequacy is an invitation to war,” in the oplnion of Admiral Dewey, ranking naval officer of the United States. Duty of Each Generation. “I elieve it is the duty of each gen- eration to pay its own insurance and not to thrust its burden on the genera- tions that come after; and the insur- ance for peace is a navy strong enough to compel it,” says the admiral in an article written for the programme for navy day at Newport, R.

Navy Must Be Adequat he only function and justification for th eexistence of a navy s the preservation of peace,” the article con- tinues. “To perform this function the navy must be adequate; and though so much discussed in 'these recent times, the word ‘adequate’ as applied to the navy has but one meaning, and that is that an ‘adequate navy' is a navy of strength sufficient to meet and defeat any probable enemy.

At the present period ‘adeuacy’ on our part calls for a navy second in strength to that of England only.” STRIKE FOLLOWS A REDUCTION OF WAGES Two Hundred Employes of Aeolian Company at Meriden Quit Work. Meriden, Conn., June 24.—About two hundred employes of the Aeolian com- pany walked out of the factory this afternoon ang a strike was declared. A reduction in the wages of about thirty of the women operatives follow- ing the introduction of an efficiency system resulted in the employes organ- izing a branch union of the American Federation of Labor last week. All efforts to arbitrate have failed and the strike was ordered this afternoon after Distriet Organizer W. J. Buckley had recelved an unfavorable reply from the concern’s officlals to the grievances registered. The employes who walked out and who are also organized number about two-thirds of the employes. They make the paper music rolls for the mechanical piano. Guarantee is- made that the strike will be conducted along peaceful lines and mo trouble is anti- cipated by the police. The employes are numbered among Meriden's best citizens and the majority of them are skilled workers. The company is one of the largest makers of player piano music rolls in the country.
