proposed amendment follows:
"Article XVI. The Congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes on
incomes, from whatever source derived,
without a proportionment among the
several states and without regard to
any census or enumeration."
Mr. Aldrich said he thought this
amendment might be passed by the Sen
ate without debate, but Mr. Borah re
plied that he could not give his assent
until the Income-tax amendment to the
tariff bill should be disposed of.
Mr. Aldrich made no further effort
to obtain action. It is rumored about
the Capitol that the resolution will be
defeated. ,

AV111 Advocate Income Tax 1'rovision
in Tariff Bill South Gets Cot-

No luty on Cotton.
WASHINGTON". June 2S. After 70 days
of almost continuous debate, the Senate
this afternoon concluded its discussions
of the rnyne-Aldrich tariff bill. The Sen
ate then adjourned for the day to permit
preparation for the corporation and in
come tax debute, which will begin Tues
day. Aldrlch told porno of his friends that
he, would take a few days off for a water
trip if it developed that the Income tax
discussion is not likely ' to be extended.
In this event. Flint will take charge of
the tariff bill and Root, who aided Attorney-General
WirJtershnm in drafting
the corporation tax amendment, will
take rhi'.rge of that measure.
Icbnte Corporation Tux Today.
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.

Questioned as to a loan of $3nn.00n made
on July 24, 1S02. by the trust company to
the . witness, which was paid in October
following. Dresser said there was no
suggestion that such a loan was illegal.
The loan was used, he said, by the Board
of Directors. At the time it became
necessary to pay over about $6.000,n00
for the constituent companies of the
shipbuilding company on August 11. 1902.
there was found to be a deficiency of

VANCOUVER, Wash., June 28. (Special.) There has been a con

people in the city who will not have in their possession some part
large or small, of the historic tree.
The Woodmen of the World have sawed six blocks from the trunk
of the tree and these blocks will be polished and used in the lodge
rooms. It la likely that a block from the trunk will be preserved in
the City Hall, in the park and in the Public Library, and part of the
tree will be sent to the State Historical Society.
There is universal regret on the part of the people at the loss
of the old witness tree.
POLITICS IN CHARGE
Brandenburg's Lawyer Seeks
Motive of Prosecution.
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

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.
"Judging from the interest shown at
Portland, it. will be simply a question of

from Portland. The morning programme
will be given in the natural amphitheater,

the welcoming address of President Chil
berg. In the afternoon we shall hold
open house in the Oregon building from
3 to 5 o'clock, and in the evening there
will be a promenade and dance in the
Washington state building.
"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."
LARGE SEIZURE OF OPIUM
Two Chinese Hide Drug Between
Shells of Steamers.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. A search
of the trans-Pacific liners Chi To Maru
and Asia resulted today in the arrest
of tw'o Chinese charged with smuggling
opium, and the seizure of 122 fiva-tael
cans of the drug hidden between the
inner and outer shells of the steamers.
The customs officers observed two
Chinese acting strangely and seized a
suitcase they carried. This was discov
ered to contain 42 cans of opium. The
cans were attached to long strings, and
the search of the steamers revealed
other strings projecting from the space
mentioned. When these were pulled up
the other cans were found.
On the Asia opium was found con
cealed under false bottoms In several
cans of paint among the ship's stores.

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.

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
