OTHER PLANS ALL KILLED ! Opposition to Taft Plan Melts Away Tariff Bill Completed Except Tobacco Customs Court Is Provided. WASHINGTON, July 5. By unanimous vote the Senate today adopted the resolu tion submitting to the State Legislatures the Income tax amendment to the Inderal constitution. Then it devoted its atten tion to the administrative features of the tariff bill and adopted them. The tobacco schedule will be considered tomorrow with a fijv other uncompleted details and then the bill will be reported from committee of the whole to the Senate. The only subject libely to provoke debate is the tobacco schedule. The proceedings after th bill is reported will be brief and the bill will then go to conference. Rayner Fights Customs Court. Rayner made a vigorous fight againBt the customs court feature of the admin istrative amendment. He declared that the court would be unconstitutional at common law, as no provision was made for trial by Jury, whltjn, he said, every litigant at common law has a right to demand. He sharply criticised Aldrich, whom he frequently reminded that ho was not a lawyer and could not be ex pected to understand constitutional ques tions. The provision occupied the attention of the Senate for about three hours and ultimately was accepted without division. The proposed court is to consist of five members and it Is intended to supersede the United States Circuit Courts in customs matters. Little Remains to Do. Not since the tariff bill has come into the Senate has so much been accom plished within a day. Indeed, when the Kitting came to an end a summary of the proceedings showed that little re mained to be done. ' The principal item still to be considered was the tobacco tax, the figures on which had not been completed by the committee when the Senate adjourned. Attention was given to the drawback feature of the bill, relative to which the finance committee made no recommenda tion beyond striking out the House pro vision. In the Senate, however, several amendments were made, some of which wore permitted, at MeCumber's Instance, to satisfy the grain-producers of the Northwest. A number of other minor ad ditions were made, and all the adminis trative features were then disposed of. All Approve Customs Court. During the debate Aldrich explained that the act creating the customs court had been framed after discussion with the President. Secretary of State, Attorney-General and members of the Board of Appraisers. He declared the provision had been approved by all the members of the finance committee, all the Repub lican members except himself and the two Democratic members, Culberson and Daniel, being lawyers. Upon motion of Bacon, the compensation of members of the court was reduced from $10,000 to $7000 a year. Additional amendments to the tariff bill that were accepted provided that nothing ' in the measure shall Interfere i with the. Cuban commercial treaty and prescribe the method by which the Presi dent shall proceed in executing the dis criminating features of the measure. This is simply a re-enactment of the counter vailing duties of the existing law. Drawback on Canadian Logs. An amendment agreed to allows all American -owned logs on the Maine and Minnesota borders to be sawed in mills on the Canadian side without Interfering with their free entry into this country. On motion of MoCumber. an amend ment exempting wheat, wheat flour and flaxseed from the drawback .provision of the bill, and an amendment toy Overman allowing a drawback on cotton ties when used on cotton that is exported, were agreed to. Culberson declared that the Standard Oil Company continue to receive draw backs on cans it exports amounting to $1,000,000 & year, and said he would offer an amendment to correct that condition. Aldrich Defends Standard. "Does, the Senator think the Standard Oil Company ought to be treated differ ently from other citizens?" inquired Aldrich. "I thtnk," replied Culberson, "that any monopoly ought to be treated differently from citizens who are endeavoring to obey the law." "I do hot think," said Aldrich, "that the Standard Oil Company has any monopoly of export on oil." Scott said that since the Senate refused to put a duty on oil, the price has been reduced 16 cents a barrel. Me said he was sure that the Standard Oil Company did not want a duty on oil He added that he made this statement preparatory to trying to get enough Senators to help him put some duty on oil. Gallinger gave notice that Tuesday he would offer amendments for an increase of the tax on malt liquor. Income Tax Amendment Adopted. Early in the day the income tax reso lution of Brown of Nebraska was adopt ed. The resolution submits to the State Legislatures an amendment to the con stitution providing that Congress shall have power to "lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states and without regard to any census or enumeration." When Brown's constitutional amend ment was called up, Brlstow presented an amendment requiring the election of Senators by vote of the people. Aldrich followed immmedlately with the state ment that when the voting status should be reached he would move to lay the amendment on the table, on the double ground that it was in violation of the unanimous agreement and was not ger mane to the original proposition. More of Bryan's Thunder Stolen. Chiding the majority of the Senate that it was an act of piracy if It should accept the plank of the Democratic platform de claring for an amendment to the Constitu tion to provide for an Income tax without acknowledging the "source of Its in spiration," Stone read at some length from the Denver platform to estab lish priority of claim on this proposed legislation. Reverting to what he de clared "were unreasonable criticisms of the Democracy by the Republican party for l its advocacy of the income tax in 1S06, t fitono trt tnfit liooservslt -had wltb. blunt and almost vulgar harshness, criti cised some of the decisions of the courts, and yet he remains the very idol of the American people." But, he said, since the first campaign of Mr. Bryan, the Repub lican party had experienced a "wonderful change in the spirit of its dreams." "What they denounced as almost trea sonable then," he said, "they now ap plaud as virtuous and patriotic." Notice of two amendments he will offer to the income tax resolution was given by Bailey, one providing that the ratifica tion of the proposed amendment be by state conventions Instead of by State Leg islatures, and the other providing for a graduated income tax. ' Bailey's Plan Voted Down. Speeches by McLaurin, Borah, Brown, Money and Bailey occupied the remain der of the time until 1 o'clock, when the voting began. Before a vote was taken the Vice-President ruled out of order the amendment by Brlstow for the election of Senators by popular vote, thus bring ing to the front Bailey's amendment to refer the ratification of the proposed amendment to state conventions instead of to the Legislatures. This amendment was rejected, 36 to 46. - The Democratic Senators generally voted for the Bailey amendment and the Republicans generally against it. The exceptions were Borah, Brlstow, Clapp, Cummins, Jones and La Follette, Repub licans,' who voted for the Bailey pro vision, and Daniel and Martin, Demo crats, who voted against it. By unanimous consent Bailey with drew his amendment providing for a graduated income tax, saying he knew it would be voted down and he did not wish that fact to be cited in the United States Supreme Court at any time in con nection with any income tax case. The vote then recurring on the original Brown resolution referring the question of amending the Constitution so as to authorize the levying of an Income tax to the Legislatures of the various states, it was adopted without a dissenting vote. The vote was 77 ayes, no noes. HIGHER TAXES OX TOBACCO Senate Subcommittee Proposes to Raise Internal Revenue Rates. WASHINGTON. July 5. Cigar manu facturers, who were given a hearing to day by a subcommittee of the Senate committee on finance, ' succeeded in de feating the proposed increase from $3 to $3.60 a thousand in the internal revenue tax on cigars. The subcommittee, how ever, voted to recommend increases on practically all other forms of manufac tured tobacco. When the full committee meets Tues day It will consider the recommendations of the subcommittee, which are as fol lows : Snuff, 8 cents a pound. Instead of the existing rate of 6 cents, and Instead of 12 cents, as proposed by the Beveridge amendment. Chewing and smoking tobacco, 8 cents a pound, instead of the existing rate of 6 cents and instead of 9 cents, as pro posed by the Beveridge amendment Cigars weighing more than three pounds per 1000, $3 per 1000, which. Is the existing rate. Cigars weighing less than three pounds per 1000. commonly called "little cigars," $1 per 1000, the same as adopted by the House and recommended by the Bever idge amendment. Cigarettes, a flat rate of $1.60 per 1000, Instead of the existing rate of 54 cents. The subcommittee will recommend the adoption of the anti-coupon provision of the Beveridge amendment. JAP STRIKERS ARRESTED AMERICAN TAKES TWO OP THEM INTO CUSTODY. Victim of Alleged Kidnapers Believes Police Saved Life When They Took Him From Camp. HONOLULU, July 6. Considerable ex citement was created today by the arrest of two more of the leaders of the Japa nese plantation laborers who are on strike, for the alleged false imprison ment of T- Sunoda, a Japanese employed on the Waipahu plantation on a profit sharing basis. Following the arrests an Investigation disclosed that the 2500 Japa nese still on strike have picketed the portion of the city about their quarters, and prevent any person not connected or in sympathy with the movement from entering the camp of strikers. The charge on which the arrests were made was that strikebreakers had been kidnaped. Sunoda was seized yesterday In the vicinity of the strikers" camp and alleges that his captors took him to a room in a Japanese hotel, where he was kept by force while his case was put on trial before certain officers of the Waipahu branch of the Japanese Higher Wage As sociation. At the time of his capture Sunoda declares he was seeking to secure the services of several Japanese laborers to-help him In carrying out the contract he has on a section of the Waipahu plan tation. He told the police that he believed his life would have been in danger if the police had not interrupted the trial of his case. The attitude taken by the Japa nese Consul in regard to this new de velopment is believed here to eliminate any possibility of International complications.

Leader of Washington Association Rebuked for Participation in Recent Row, has been drawing $100 a month from the treasury of the National organization for many years. The state executive did not draw this stipend as president of the local body, but for her work as an or ganizer. While no official announcement of the proposed action of the National executive officers in this regard has yet been made, women who are in close touch with the situation and enjoy the confidence of the powers that be, construe the alleged de termination of the Board to cut off Pres ident DeVoe's salary as a stern rebuke for the Washington official for her part in the violent row that brought the Na tional convention into the bitter local factional fight. Despite the carefulness of the National board in keeping secret its recent deliber ations anent the demands of the warring suffragists from Spokane, it developed today that the National executive com mittee brought severe pressure to bear upon. Mrs. JJevo in the hops that she might be persuaded to relinquish the light and once more let harmony prevail In the suffrage ranks. Mrs. Devoe de clines to discuss the question. The National convention of yhe Ameri can Woman Suffrage Association today elected these officers: President, Rev. Anna H. Shaw.
