Autocrat Ready for Any
Means to Win.
WOULD RETIRE WITH VICTORY
Hopes to Lure Timid Senators
to Pigeonhole It.
WILL MAKE VEILED THREAT
Tell Protected Interests Income Tax
Would Require Slashing of Du
ties Bluff to Be Tried
by Income Taiers.
OTSEOONTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ngton. June 4. Although Aldrich has
Indicated the tactics he intends to pur
sue to kill the income tax amendment
to the tariff bill in the .Senate, and al
though he has demonstrated his ability
to get votes enough to accomplish his
purpose, those Senators who sincerely
believe in income tax legislation and
who have had the courage to stand
by their convictions still hope against
hope that at the critical time they will
muster enough strength to secure the
adoption of their pet measure. This is
optimism in the extreme degree.
The income tax amendment, in the
Judgment of experienced men. is dead.
To defeat this one amendment Aldrich
would go to any. length. His reputa
tion is really at stake. If the income
tax amendment should be adopted by
She Senate, it would be accepted by the
House and would become the law of the
land. Aldrich has decreed that this
amendment shall not be adopted by the
Senate. In face of that declaration, its
adoption would be the severest defeat
he has ever sustained, and he Is not
willing, at this late day in his career,
to accept defeat such as this. He ex
pects soon to retire from the Senate,
and he wants to retire with victory,
..nat- dffeat, written across his standard.
Pigeonhole or Postpone.
Aldrich will defeat the income tax
amendment either by having it referred
t a committee which he knows will
not report it or by a motion to post
pone its consideration until Congress
is more fully advised as to the neces
sity for such legislation. The former
course is the more likely to be followed.
Such a motion as that will get the sup
port of all Senators who are opposed to
an Income tax and it will also get the
votes of perhaps half a dozen Senators
who do not like the Income tax. but
who would ba scared into votii.g for it
if the question were put squarely before
the Senate for adoption or rejection.
The only way the income tax amend
ment can be adopted is by voting down
Aldrlch's motion to refer it to a com
mittee. This probably cannot be done,
though the friends of the amendment
seem to believe it will be possible.
They will strain every effort to defeat
this motion, and if, by any chance, they
should be successful, they could at once
secure the adoption of the amendment.
Try to Bluff Timid Ones.
To this end the income tax Sena
tors propose, when next the subject is
discussed, to announce publicly on the
floor of the Senate that Senators who
vote to refer the amendment to a com
mittee will knowingly vote to defeat
it. and they will proclaim to the coun
try that all Senators who so vote are
at heart opposed to income tax legis
lation. In other words, they will en
deavor to bluff the timid ones into vot
ing with them.
But such a bluff is not likely to be
successful. Aldrich and those who
stand with him insist that the new tar
iff bill will produce ample revenue: if
it does not. it will be ample time to
take up the income tax next session.
Moreover, they contend that, if the in
come tax were adopted, some of the
protective schedules of the tariff bill
would have to be cut beyond the pro
tective figure, else there would be too
much revenue, and they maintain that
such a move would not be wise. The
timid Senators will take refuge behind
the declarations of Aldrich and will
vote to refer, taking a chance on going
back to their constituents with the de
fense that their action was entirely
consistent and proper.
The Senate is so evenly divided on
the Income tax that half a dozen
doubtful Senators swinging to Aldrich
will defeat the amendment in spite of
the efforts of the enthusiasts to hold
them in line.
ANGRY WOKDS ABOUT COTTON
La Follctte Digs at Penrose, Aldrich
Answers His Arguments.
WASHINGTON. June 4. Through fore
noon, afternoon ana evening sessions the
Senate today labored on the cotton sched

speech, attacking changes In the Dingley
rates recommended by the Senate finance
committee, and replied to Penrose's
charge last night that he was shamming

not ill. but very tired and was resting to
be in better shape to continue his speech
today. He declared Penrose might per
form a greater service for the country

VICTORIA. B. C, June 4. (Special.)
A plague of caterpillars has developed
such serious proportions that the Victoria
Fire Department is engaged with chem
ical engines in the work of extermina
tion, sulphuric acid not being counted
In the list of health foods for caterpillars.
So popular is Victoria as a caterpillar
Summer resort that every year the fiat
goes forth to destroy them while in the
larvae, and legislation exists calling upon
all householders and property-owners to
attend to thir destruction.
The city, too, must do its share, and in
this particular case, in which Fire Chief
Davis commands as chief exterminator,
the devouring element is occupying a
strategic position in the trees on the
boulevards. Millions of the caterpillars
are in evidence, remaining along the
branches and leaves.

PORK PRICE GOES SOARING
3
Almost Highest Price Since Civil
War Is Recorded in Chicago.
OHICAGO, June 4. Special.) Pork for
September delivery sold today at J20.07.
With the exception of a brief period in
1906, when cash pork sold for one day at
$20 per barrel, this figure has not been
seen in this market since the Cudahy
corner in 1893, when it eold at $23. It sold
during the Armour corner, in 1887, at
$24; and the highest price on record In
this market was during the Civil War,
when it sold at $43 per barrel.
With the exception of the manipulated
markets of 1S93 and 1887. therefore, the
price reached today was practically the
highest since the Civil War. No manip
ulation of the provision markets la now
charged, but the tilgh prices are due to
the disappointing receipts of hogs during
the month of May, and thus far during
the present month.

Anonymously Gives $200,000 and
Prevents Sale of Holbein Master
piece, According to Report.
LONDON, June 4. (Special.) It Is re
ported in the London colony of artists
this afternoon that the woman who gave
40.000 300.000 to save Holbein's
"Duchess of Milan" for the British na
tion was the Duchess of Marlborough,
formerly Consuelo Vanderbllt. The motive
of the Duchess is said to have been to
fortify her social position In England,
though the act may have been in part
due to her real personal love of art.
Since gossip of the troubles between the
Duke and Duchess, the atmosphere of
high society In London is said to have
been less favorable than formerly, and
Her Grace has been anxious to establish
a position for herself quite Independent
of that of her" husband.
' The name of the donor of the 40,000
Is still withheld, but it is expected that
in the course of time the fact will be
come generally known that the Duchess
of Marlborough was the one who inter
vened at the critical moment and saved
Holbein's masterpiece for the National
Gallery. ,

of daring and wealthy capitalists. The
load of securities carried on borrowed
money by the instigators of the present

doubtedly grown to enormous proportion
before today's market opened and it must
naturally have been "Steel common"
