MAY TAX $2500 SALARIES
Vurstion 0f Revenue Produced by
Payne Will Decide Senators on
Need of Taxation or
Incomes.
WASHINGTON'. April 35. The in
come tax. In connection with the tar
iff bill, will receive especial attention
In the Senate this week. It was an
nounced today. Senator Bailey, who
ha Introduced an amendment to tho
bill providing for a flat rate of taxing
Incomes, would make a long speech
Monday on this feature. Mr. Bailey
has made a careful study of the In
come tax question' and will be pre
pared to discuss the subject In all Its
bearings. He Is expected to express
himself pointedly, and no doubt he will
be subjected to many interruptions.
witn the result that there may be
much spirited colloquy during his
peech.
The committee on finance probably
will report Its final amendment to the
tariff schedules tomorrow, and as soon
as the opportunity permits the Senate
will consider the bill paragraph by
paragraph, taking them up in the order
that the Items during the reading last
week were laid aside for future con
sideration. The Democratic opinion is that tho
bill will remain in the Senate for three
or four weeks, and after the Senate
completes Its work the time of ad
journment will change.
Krequent utterances by President
Taft expressing the hope that Congress
will hasten the passage of the tariff
bill that business may be restored to
its normal condition may postpone the
real test of strength over the Income
tax proposition. Sentiment of the
Senate is pretty evenly divided on the
matter, but there are many differences
of opinion as to details df the legisla
tion. Some Senators believe It is im
practicable to tax Incomes of less than
S000. while others believe it will be
necessary to go as low as $2500. There
are others who argue that the fixing
of the minimum at any figure will re
sult In unfair discriminations.
Many Congressmen believe with
President Taft that the income tax
amendment should not be adopted un
less It can be shown that It will pro
duce revenue. Members of the finance
committee declare the Payne bill, as
amended by the committee, will yield
sufficient revenues. If the truth of
this statemnt is established It will turn
a number of votes away from the In
come tax amendment.

If Imprisoned Woman Is Not Wife of
Boyle, She Will Be Made to Give
Testimony Against Him '
in Whitla Case.
CHICAGO. April 25. (Special.)
George B. Perkins,' Ira Kepner and six
men of the Perkins Detective Agency,
Pittsburg, Pa., have been in Chicago for
two days, ransacking the Northwest
side in search of Frank A. York, form
erly of 876 Sheffield avenue, who is de
clared by detective Perkins to have
run away with Anna McDermott, the
supposed wife of James Boyle, In jail
with her husband at Mercer, Pa., await
ing trial tor kidnaping Willie Whitla.
The force of detectives Is in the em
ploy of the State of Pennsylvania, with
orders to run down York at any cost,
information having been lodged with
the prosecuting officers that Mrs. Boyle
was never divorced from York and
therefore is not the wife of Boyle, as
she has asserted since her arrest.
The success of the case now pending
against Mrs. Boyle for complicity In
the kidnaping with Boyle, is said by
the men working in search for York,
to depend wholly on his being found,
since If It can be proved that the young
woman is not Boyle's wife, she can be
compelled to testify against her puta
tive husband.
It was through former friends of
Anna .McDermott that the clew to
York's whereabouts was obtained. In
addition, W. F. McDermott, Jr., ad
mitted to a detective that the man
Anna eloped with in 1906 was Frank A.
York. Detective Perkins says he is in
possession- of information that Frank
A. Parker, alias Frank A. Minor, who
Is serving a sentence under the latter
title in the Jefferson City penitentiary,
is the man for whom Anna McDer
mott deserted York, and it is of record
that she visited Minor at the peniten
tiary,-although she now denies stoutly
naving Known him.

Maybray told the story of his life.
"I was born in Mississippi" he said.
"I was a cattle-puncher on the plains
of Wyoming with Mayor Dahlman, of
Omaha, during the early '80s, until '88,
going to Chadron, Neb., where I became
a horseman. In 1891 I went to Galves

learned the printer's trade. From 1896
to 1901 I ran a rooming-house In
Omaha. Then I went to Kansas City,
which is now my home. At the time
of McCann's murder, in June, 1903, I
was in, Kansas City. That July I went
to Denver and was HI there six weeks.
In 1904 I went to Tacoma, Wash., and
then back to Kansas City. In 1904 I

LONDON. April 25. (Special.) Louis
Waller and Miss Maxine Elliott began
their much-talked-of London engage
ment last night at the Lyric Theater in
a piay called "The Conquest." It is
iounaea on one or .Balzac s stories and
is by no means a poor or weak play. If
it does not succeed, the fault will not
be entirely with the play. The actors
will deserve a few unkind words. Bar
ring Mr. Waller's part and that of Miss
Frances Dillon, the other roles were not
well suited to the people who Inter
preted them.
The statuesque beauty and dignified
impresslveness of Miss Elliott were en
tirely out of place In the frivolous light
comedy work she was compelled to do
In the first part of the play. - The au
thor even assigned her the uncongenial
task of twice doing a gay and blithe

probably tomorrow, in regard to the

"I'LL GIVE HIM HIS OWN WAV,"
SHE DECLARES.

Fear of His Seeking Out Com

COLUMBIA, Mo.. April 25. (Special.)
When Turner Acton, 19-year-old " bride
groom, wants hl own way, his bride,
who was Mrs. Sarah Anne Montemat, 64
years old, won't quarrel or threaten or
pout, she says. She will "coax" him.
And the ' gentle art of coaxing, in the
opinion of the venerable bride, will keep
peace and happiness at the hearth where
she and her boy husband shall sit.
"Neither husband nor wife ought to bo
boss,' " -says Mrs. Acton, whose hair 'a
white. "I won't expect to run our home
and I know Turner will not especially
If I coax him."
Mr. and Mrs. Acton are still in their
honeymoon and are furnishing a ot-
tage in the western ' part of Columbia.
They have been boarding slnc their
mnrriage with an aunt of tho bridegroom
on West Broadway.
"Yes, I have seen old fellow', so
creplt that they had to hobble around on
c:in:r. marrying young girls, says Mrs. I
Acton, who is old enough to be her own i
husband's grandmother, jand who. In j

unhappily, the wife seeking men com
panions of her own age.
"But I don't worry one minute about
my Turner. I feel sure he loves me Just as
much as I love him. I know he is trust
worthy and honorable, and I'm not in
the least afraid of his ever getting tired
of me and running after young girls.
"I don't see why our marriage should
have stirred up such a commotion. Why,
there's been a newspaper man here al
most every day, and the newspapers all
over the country have been writing about
us. I even got a letter from a sister of
mine In Fort Worth, Tex., whom I
hadn't heard from In 20 years. She'd
read of the wedding.
If Turner and I wanted to get married
I don't see that anybody else need bother
about it. .The marriage was our affair.

li his statements.
He claimed when arrested that Mrs.
fcabanne, of St. Louis, was his wife, but
'now he admits she did not get a divorce
until .December. 1906, In British Hondu
ras, although he said he married her
there in October of that year. When
taxed with this discrepancy. Branden
burg said that, though not legally mar
ried to the woman, she was morally his
wife and his real "soulmate" and he
loved her young son as though the boy
were his own.
He said there was a technical legal
flaw in regard to the divorce from his
