There has brf n Pome discussion of not presenting the income tax and corpora tion tax amendments until the next reg ular session, but this has met with little tavor. Now it is expected that only one vote will intervene between the assem bling of the Senate tomorrow- and the taking up of these (juestions. Tillman has pending an amendment providing for a tax of lo cents a pound on tea, and it is said that this provision will not lead to further debate. No intimation has been given of other amendments' and the discussion probably will be shifted at once from the tariff to the Internal reve nue. It is understood that the opening speech will be made by Cummins of Iowa, In support of an income tax as part of the tariff bill. Cot ton-Iinfr?' n Made 1'ree. Today's proceedings consisted of a gen eral clearing up of the passed-over pro visions. Karly in the day MeLaurin moved to place cotton bagging on the free list. and. contrary to the general expectation, the resolution prevailed. The Southern Senators, however, were not so fortunate witli cotton ties, which they also desired to have on the free list, and on which the bill places a duty of 3-10 cent per pound. Culberson proposed the change in tics. He came within seven votes of winning, the vote standing .11 to "f. The action of the Senate will merely have the efect of throwing the rate on cotton bagging Into conference. Increase in Steel Iuty. The duty on structural iron and steel valued at more than 9-10 of a cent a pound was Increased from 3-10 to 4-10 of a cent a pound, being an addition to the House rate of 1-10 of a cent. The rate on steel of a lower value was left un- li.-vnped. On zinc in pigs there was also nn aidition of a cent a pound over the H'UK'e rate of 1 cent. Ineffectual efforts were made by Stone to hxvp structural iron and steel and many products of steel placed on the free list and by Cummins to obtain slightly lower duties on nearly all of the impor tant products of iron and steel. South Asks Cotton" Duty. Kfforts were made to have schoolbooks salt and Kgyptian cotton placed on the dutiable list, Hacon, who offered the amendment for a duty on cotton, said that at the same rates placed on wool, cotton would produce a revenue of $!. 000.1 0 a year. He proposed 4 cents a pound. Tillman also declared that by the adoption of his 10-cent rate on tea another $!i.tooo could be added to the Treasury receipts. The various articles known as catgut, consolidated under the name of animal intestines, were left on the free list amid laughter. Aldrlch accepted an amendment by (Iambic authorizing the President to de clare a duty of 4 cents a pound on tin when the domestic product is at least l.Vo tons a year. Amend Corporation Tax Plan. Hefore schedules could be taken up. Clapp gained the floor and with a view to eliminating from the corporation tax amendment any authority by which the corporations may own the stock of other companies, introduced a modified form of the original text of the measure. In connection with the same amend ment. Culberson proposed a modification by which the Information gathered by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue con cerning corporat'ons shall at any time be available to either the House or Sen ate or any committee of either body. Tillmnn Wants Tea Iuty. An earnest speech in favor of a tariff on tea to protect the South Carolina tea industry was made by Tillman, who de clared that there was in his proposition for a duty of 10 cents a pound on this product RMYuio of revenue and Jl.200,000 for protection. Addressing himself to Aldrlch. as the embodiment of the Senate, Tillman was interrupted by the Rhode Island Senator, who suggested there were some things that cease to be jokes. "He is the Senate of the Vnited States and he knows it.1" declared Tillman, pointing to Aldrlch, who was sitting just across the aisle from him. Aldrlch mnde no further reply. Smith and Hcyburn Favor Duty. Smith of Michigan said he had been greatly surprised to find that South Caro lina today is raising 15 times more tea than did the Island of Ceylon in 1S75. This discovery had. he said, caused him fo be very friendly toward any sugges tion looking to the protection of that in dustry. Heyburn added that he had used South Carolina tea for six or seven years, pre ferring it for its superior flavor. He agreed with Tillman that the area over which tea could be raised was from South Carolina to the Mississippi River, when ever the rainfall was sufficient. Tillman said he preferred having a vote taken on his amendment tomorrow with a full Senate present. The last amendment to the tariff bill Hurt evi to today was one increasing the duty on bleaching powder of chlorate of I me from 1-5 to H a cent per pound.

CARLISLE PULLS STRINGS He and Finley Accused of Effort to Discredit Cleveland Article and of Withholding Evidence of Hastings. NEW YORK. June 2S. The end of the trial of Broughton Brandenburg, charged with grand larceny in connection with toe. sale of an alleged spurious letter of Grover Cleveland to the New Y'ork Times, drew near today with the commencement of the summing up by the attorneys for the defense and prosecution. The case will go to the jury tomorrow. Oswald N. Jacoby, summing up for Brandenburg, referred to the fact that F. S. Hastings, executor of the Cleveland estate, -was not called as a witness by the District Attorney. He declared there had been powerful interests at work to attack the authenticity of the article and that ex-Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle and President Finley of the City College "had made up their minds to dis credit the article, if possible, and the only way open to them was to attack the only living man who really knows whether Mr. Cleveland wrote it or not." Times Got Money's Worth. He called attention to the testimony of the Times editors that they had not relied on Brandenburg's statement, and Bran denburg, therefore, could not be con victed. V "At any rate." he argued, "if this arti cle were written by Grover Cleveland, the question of whether the signature is gen uine is immaterial. If the article is gen uine, the Times got what it paid for." Before the case for the defense was closed two .witnesses testified they had seen the article in written form, substan tially as afterwards published in the Times, before August 10 last, the date on which a stenographer had testified she had typewritten the article. George Fleming, a lawyer, said he had seen the article with Grover Cleveland's signature attached on June . 1908. Daniel P. Lewis, Sunday editor of the New York Herald, testified he had the signed arti cle in his possession before August 16. On cross-examination, Mr. Lewis stated that the article he had was a ribbon, not a carbon copy. Mr. Brandenburg had testi fied that Mr. Cleveland had signed' a car bon copy. Insist Article Was Signed. In rebuttal the prosecution called Charles R. Miller, editor of the Times who declared that Cleveland's signature in evidence was the one attached to the article when . it was received by the Times. Charles A. Lincoln, Sunday edi tor of the Times, said that he himself had cut the Cleveland signature off the article Brandenburg sold the newspaper. Frances Belascoer. secretary to Mr Deck, of the Times, told of receiving the article back from Brandenburg. She identified the article in evidence as the one Brandenburg gave her. Mrs. Cleveland, widow of the ex-President, was questioned briefly as to the dates of visits made by Mr. Cleveland to New Y'ork in 1908. Says Finley Tells Falsehood. Brandenburg himself took the stand as the last witness. He characterized as "absolutely false" President Finley's statement that Brandenburg said Mr Cleveland signed the first typewritten document he took to him. President John Finley, of the college of the City of New York, had testified that Brandenburg had told him that he (Brandenburg) had tran scribed Mr. Cleveland's notes, of the arti cles and had taken them back and had them signed.

LARGE CROWD IS EXPECTED Portland Will Send Hundreds to Se attle on Oregon Day. SEATTLE, Wash., June 28. (Special.) W. H. Wehrung. president of the Oregqn State Commission to the Exposition, said today that there would be a large number of people from his state on Ore gon day. July 9.

"I was informed today that 300 crates of cherries would arrive at the Oregon building tomorrow from The Dalles. The cherries will be on exhibition two days and for July 1, which has been designated as cherry day, there will be 200 addi tional crates sent. These cherries will Pe given away to the visitors."

OLD FIGHT THUS REVIVED Wickersham, by Refusing Informa tion About Perrin Case, Is Put in Same Disfavor as Bona parte With Senate. WASHRINGTON. June 2S.-Attorney-General ickersham refused to send to the Senate the file in he Department of Justice relating to the trial of Dr. E B Perrin, charged with conspiracy to de fraud the Government in California tim ber land cases. This idata was demanded in connection with the nomination of Robert T. Devlin to be Vnited States Attorney for the northern district of California. The Senate committee on judiciary today decided to put over the Devlin nomination until the next regular session of Congress "Inexpedient," Says Wiekersham. "It would be inexpedient to supply the information." reported Mr. Wiekersham to the committee, as the case is still subject to retrial. Several' members of the judiciary committee express dissatis faction with Mr. Wickersham s response. The committee decided it would not now be wise to become involved in a con troversy with the Department of Justice. Reappointment of Mr. Devlin will be necessary if he continues to serve as Dis trict Attorney after the present session adjourns. Members of the committee assert that the. information will have to be produced if President Taft reappoints Devlin, and the nomination comes before the com mittee for action next session. Devlin Won Case. Devlin prosecuted one case against Perrin. resulting in conviction. The Su perior Court reversed the case and re manded it for a new trial on the ground that perjured testimony had . been ad mitted. The chief opposition to the confirma tion of Devlin relates to his failure to bring an action against the alleged per jured witness. Members of the Senate committee have criticised ex-Attomey-General Bonaparte because he ignored the recommendation of Mr. Harr that proceedingB against Perrin be not pressed. The same criticism is now directed against Wiekersham. Ethel Barrymore in Lady Frederick" CAST. Lady Frederick Berolles ' Ettiel Barrymore Sir Gerald O'Mara.

THERE are a few particular moments In Somerset Maugham's frivolous lit tle comedy, "Lady Frederick," that save the play from the charge of inanity. These moments are those in which the debt-distracted Lady Frederick wheedles the long-suffering dressmaker from a call which purposed the collection of a debt into a formal introciuction to polite so ciety. To borrow the words of Am bassador Popoff. Miss Barrymore in the name part proves herself to be "one of our best little wheedlers." This brief scene, which occurs in the second act, gives the attractive star a splendid op portunity to display her gifts as a comedienne, an opportunity which she uses to the best possible advantage. It is a difficult situation and because it is S(J admirably handled, "Lady Frederick" becomes a highly entertaining perform ance. This is Miss Barrymore's second local appearance, and she was greeted last night by an audience that converted the Bungalow into a bower of beautiful femi ninity and feminine fixings. Many mere men were also present. The play is distinctly "smart." It deals with the not overly important tribulations of society to meet its bills and conveni ently to marry Itself off. There are three acts, all laid at Monte Carlo, where a party of English people find themselves on recreation bent. Miss Barrymore ap pears in the role of a debt-distraught widow of expensive tastes and no visible means of support. While not yet posi tively passe, she is tottering on the brink and has something of a career behind her. A rich young lordling of 22 falls violently in love with her and an ambi tious mother strives her best to prevent the enamored youth from committing the unpardonable sin of marrying with a pen niless woman. In the end. however. Lady Frederick herself disillusions the boy makes him see the impossibility of such a union, gives him back to his doting mamma and in turn accepts the tardv proposal of his middle-aged uncle and provides a "happily ever afterward" ending. The lines are epigrammatic, some of them exceptionally bright, the situations are comfortably quiet, never rising above the even plane of unemotional common places and making fey.- serious remands AND CALLING CARDS W.G.SMITH&CO .
