WASHINGTON, April 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Senator Norris Brown today, in support of his proposed amendment to the constitution, authorized congress to levy a tax on incomes and inheritances, brought the senate very close to a realization that new conditions are abroad in the land. The junior senator from Nebraska was given close attention throughout his remarks and was Interrupted but twice, pnce by Sena- tor Rayner of Maryland, and again by Senator Paynter of Kentucky, with a volley of questions, all of them being quickly and caslly answered without the slightest’ ap- parent embarrassment by the Nebraskan. Senator Brown was in good voice. His proposition to amend the constitution, while probably not meeting with the ap- proval of a majority of the senate, never- theless received marked attention from that body and there is no doubt his argu- | ment, for It was an argument and an able | one, drove home some new Ideas on this subject in the minds of the anti-income | tax senators. Senator Brown declared the country fis entitled to be given an opportunity to amend the constitution so there can be no question as tw the validity of the income tax law when next it is passed. The sena- | tor made it plain that he was an ardent advocate of an income tax and that he would vote for either the Cummins or Balley amendment, but he declared he would like to meo the constitutionality of such a law setiled for all time by an amendment. Would Fix Law Reyond Doubt. “It seems to me that those of us who favor laying a tax burden on incomes have no right to feel satisfled with the enactment of such a law unless we take the further step of passing a resolution tendering to the pepple of the several states of the union an opportunity o to amend the constitution that the valldity of the law will never be questioned,” sald | Benator’ Brown. We owe this to the peopla of the ountry, who have long helleved in an income tax. 1f the argument of the Senator from Texas In this chamber for the last two days has demonstrated any- thing, it is that there is great doubt in the minds of all people as to the consti- tutionality of the income tax.. Although they belleve in the theory of this kind of tax, they recognize that the supreme court has spoken and has declared it un- constitutional. It is clearly our duty to give them a chance to make the consti- tutlon so clear on the question of taxa- tion that litigation will never arise again” Mr. Brown showed that the framers of the constitutfon, justices of the supreme court, as well as distinguished lawyers, in all time had disagreed as to the mean- ing of the words “direct taxes” in the constitution. He showed that even Sen- ator Balley, who had citicised the ruling of the supreme court, had been willing to admit the question was so close that It might easily fall either way on the con- stitutionality of the tax Attacks Bailey's Position. “Suppose we admit that Senator Balley clearly demonstrated that the court should have held the last Income tax law constitutional, where does it leave us?' asked Senator Brown. ‘“He has left us no better off than when we were divided | |about the soundness of that, decision.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 28.—A supple- mentary ‘decision in the rate cases, involv- ing the eighteen Missour! railroad com- panies operating In Missourl, wae filed in the federal court here today by Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oaw, I Judge McPherson declines to recede from his first opinion, rendered on March § last, either in the matter of the division of the costs of the proceedings or to change his original holding that the court cannot fix rates. In effect the decision means that the railways and the state must each pay one-half of the costs, which aggregated $18,000, and that the court fefuses the rall- way's petition, which aske it to epecifically state what passenger ralss: they should chary As to the contentiom that the court was in error in its original opinion in that the penalties of the statutes render them vold, Judge McPherson now holds that this sec- tion of the state statutes imposing penaltics is vold. On the point of fixing the rates Judge | McPherson says in part: “Complaint s made because of the re- cital in my opinion that ‘it being a legisla- tive met, and not a judiclal one, this court cannot fix rates. If it could, 2%-cent pas- senger rates would be fixed for the stronger But for the legislature, acting ltself with ex- perts, such as the state employed In these cases, or through a commission with like assistance.’ “My statement that ‘it being a legisla- tive act and not a judicial one, this court cannot fix rates is not controverted by anyone.

AT THE Thugs Hold Up Circus Crowd Policeman and Pickpocket Killed in Duel Following Daring High- way Robbery. LOGANSPORT, Ind., April 28.—A patrol- man, Joseph Kroeger, and a pickpocket, whose name s unknown, were killed in a duel with revolvers late last night. A sec- ond alleged pickpocket, Charles Plerce of Scranton, Pa., was captured this morning by policemen chasing him on a handcar, six miles north of this city, and is charged with having fired the shot that kilied the policeman. After the night performance of a circus, the thugs ralded the crowd with revolvers in thelr hands. Two of the crooks estab- lished a station on the Third street bridge. They not only held up and robbed the pas- sengers, but they forced their victims to line up against the rall to see their succes- sore despolled. Patrolman Kroeger came running, and one of the thugs shot. The policeman fell but was able to draw his revolver and answer. One of the men went down. The other fled. The policeman, carried into a restaurant, moaned “I'm dying. Call my wife and baby,” and lived only a few min- utes. The pickpocket died this morning In 8t. Joseph's hospital. Priests and nurses tried in vain to get a statement of his identity fcom him. As he was dying, & priest bent over him with a last appeal. Summoning all his strength, the man shouted, “you go to hell.” He fell back and was dead. Taft and Party Reach Washington President at Capital Again After At- tending Club Dinner at Philadelphi.
