Whole Question.
WASHINGTON. July I. The corpora
tion tax amendment suggested by Pres
ident Taft. drawn by Attorney-General
Wlckersham and presented to the Sen
at, Kv 1. I . . , . . .
-j .iiiia.il jviancn or the com
mittee on finance. Is an Integral part of
the tariff bill as that bill now stands.
The Senate reached a vote on the
proposition shortly before adjourning at
7 o'clock this evening, and the amend
ment was agreed to by the large vote of
60 to 11. with all modifying amend
ments disposed of. many Democrats vot
ing for the amendment with most of the
Republicans. The test vote was on the
substitution of the corporation tax
amendment for the income tax provi
sion, and on that vote 45 Senators cast
their ballots in the affirmative and 81
in the negative.
Democrats for Income Tax.
On this' ballot all the Democratic
votes were cast In favor of the Income
tax. which also received the support of
a number of the Insurgent Republicans.
The Income-tax question disposed of,
the Senate tomorrow will enter upon
the administrative features of the tariff
bill, probably taking up the maximum
and minimum rate provision.
The reaching of a vote came as some
what of a surprise to a large majority
of the Senators, but not to Aldrich and
his intimate advisers. Aldrich expressed
confidence from the time of hie arrival
in the Senate early In the day, after a
brief vacation, that he would succeed In
getting a vote before adjournment.
Steady Fire of Oratory.
The debate was somewhat more ani
mated than yesterday, and there was a
steady fire of oratory from the begin
ning of the session at 10 o'clock until
4:80 P. M. During that time Heyburn.
Rughes. Cummins, Newlands, Rayner,
Brandegee, Root and Aldrich discussed
all phases of the income-tax question.
Aldrich then asked for a unanimous
agreement for a vote on the corporation
tax amendment tomorrow at 1 P. M. He
had previously been conferring with
Bailey. Cummins, Borah and other oppo
nents of the amendment, and it was
generally supposed that they had
reached an understanding that the vote
be taken tomorrow. When It seemed
that such a compact was probable,
Cummins made an objection. His ob
jection to the unanimous agreement not
only had the effect of preventing the
fixing of the vote for Saturday, but of
forcing It today.
Other Amendment Rejected.
The first vote was upon the motion to
substitute the corporation-tax amend
ment for the Lodge countervalllng-duty
amendment, and this prevailed by a vote
of 45 to Z. The affirmative vote was
cast entirely by Republicans.
Before the vote upon the corporation
tax provision upon its own merits could
be reached. Bacon sought to obtain ac
tion on two amendments presented by
himself, both of which Aldrich moved
to lay upon the table, which was done.
The first of these amendments pro
vided for an exemption of educational.
charitable and religious institutions
and the second required the taxation of
bonds.
Protests From Northwest.
. Business began with the presentation
of petitions relating to the corporation
taT, many of which came from the Far
Northwest. From Spokane, Wash., 104
merchants appealed to the Senate for
support of the tax as proposed by the
President, because as they said. It safe
guarded the private information of
business institutions.
The Inman-Poulsen Lumber Company,
of East Portland, wanted the "perni
cious corporation tax" killed, while W.
B. Ayer. of Portland, considered the
proposed tax as extremely unfair, "as
it places the burden only on the great
industrial life of the country."
There was also a protest from the
mutual Insurance companies of New
Jersey, which insisted that such cor
poratlons were not the proper subject
of taxation under the proposed schema
of taxing corporations organized for
profit.
Heybnrn Criticises Measure.
Heyburn objected to the tax on ths
ground that it was too indefinite to
make it operative. The first provision
of the bill fixes a tax of 2 per cent on
the net income of corporations. The
Idaho Senator contended that under
this language it would be quite impos
slble to determine the object of the bill
or to enforce Its provisions, because
of its vagueness. lie also maintained
, that the tax. being levied on all cor
porations "organized for profit," In

SEATTLE. Wash., July 2. (Special.)
A yawning chasm confronts the State
Federation of Women Suffragists, and
if the plans of Mrs. May Arkwright Hut
ton are carried out. Mrs. Emma Smith
De Voe will be deposed as head of the
State Association as well as her entire
cabinet. Spokane is for fight. That is
Just putting It mildly, and the problem
of settling the Spokane squabble has
been put squarely up to the National ex
ecutive committee. Here is what will
happen:
In the event of the National commit
tee deciding In favor of the state con
vention's action in unseating the Spo
kane delegation, another state associa
tion will be formed immediately. The
National committee, the referee, is hold
ing the sack. Spokane is not alone in
the fight against the De Voe organiza
tion. More than 20 minor clubs are out
in the cold, clamoring for a seat at the
feet of the female apostle In power, and.
In addition, David Coates, who does, the
talking for the Inland Empire metropo
lis, claims that some of the regularly-
seated delegates are in sympathy with
the unseated.
Conducts Fight From Hotel.
Mrs. May Arkwrighi Hutton is keeping
away from the meetings of the National
association pending the disposition of the
Spokane case. She is denying herself to
callers, but. has a special news service
from the convention hall .to her apart
ments in the Savoy Hotel.
Mrs. Hutton's adherents scored quite
a triumph in the National committee to
day when the two of the delegates de
clared "out" by the state convention
were admlttted to the National conven
tion as delegates. Mrs. LaReine Baker,
of Spokane, and Mrs. Leonia W. Browne,
attorney for Mrs. Hutton. of Seattle,
were the two selected to represent the
contesting delegation. The two members
are not given voting powers, but are al
lowed a voice In the National convention.
D. C. Coates, of Spokane, the man In
the suffragist convention who has been
a firebrand, said:
Coates Enters Into Fray.
"We met members of the credential
committee of the National association
today. The Spokane delegation has been
outraged by the state convention, or that
portion of it dominated by Mrs. De "Voe.
Her policy has been purely one of per
sonal politics, and it will be resented at
the proper time, Spokane haa 23 other
clubs to keep her company in this fight
for Justice. We are going to keep up the
fight, too, no matter what decision the
National committee renders. We have
asked the National committee to declare
the election of Mrs. De Voe. illegal, and
to order a new election. Deplte the fact
that most of the delegates are scattered,
we are willing to take our chances on
a fair vote now, and we will abide by
the result. If Mrs. De Voe is sustained
and our delegation is discredited, a new

His companion escaped without a scratch.
Both the injured boy's hands were ter
ribly mangled. Several fingers and one
thumb are gone, and the flesh and bones
In the palms are shockingly torn. He

Cost of Impeachment Trial Is Lim

Hot Words In House.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. July 2. (Special.)
At 1:30 this afternoon both Houses of the
extraordinary session of the Washington
Legislature took a recess until August 11
at 2 P. M., when the impeachment trial
of J. H. Schively, State Insurance Com
missioner, will begin.
Most of the morning it was an open
question whether the House should re
convene August 11 or permit the Board
of Impeachment managers to meet and
adjourn the House from day to day. Such
adjournments can be taken by the
Speaker and seven members of the Im
peachment Board, which as originally ap
pointed consisted of 11 members.
All Members Must Return. j
After a long debate and several in- J
stances of backing and filling, the House
cut down the Board of Managers to
three, selected by a "direct primary
method," and decided that all members
should return at the end of the recess.
During the 40 days interim none of the
members of either House will draw per
diem except the three Impeachment man
agers and President Ruth, of the Sen
ate, each of whom is allowed 110 a day.
The Senate also authorized the employ
ment when necessary-of the Chief Clerk
and Sergeant-at-Arms and the Houses
authorized the impeachment managers to
employ what clerical help It needed.
Probe Committee Gets $30,000.
The general investigating committee
heretofore authorized to continue its
work has been granted a fund of $30,000.
Yesterday the House voted to provide the
committee with $40,000, which amount the
Senate cut to $25.00u. Conference com
mittees this morning agreed on the com
promise figures. The committee will re
open Its work next Thursday at a meet
ing in Seattle. This meeting will be de
voted principally to the formation of
plans for future procedure.
The cost of the impeachment trial' has
been limited to $40,000, the Senate bill
appropriating that amount having passed
the House this morning. The total ap
propriations for the special session ag
gregate $117,964, but of this sum $110,000
is for future legislative. Impeachment and
investigation expenses, and a portion will
likely revert to the State Treasury.
Divide on Wets and Drjs.
The House was in a contentious mood
all
morning, and the old division along
old wet and dry lines was again repeated
In quarreling over the membership of the
Impeachment Bor.rd. French, of Clark,

the salaries of clerk and sergeant-at-arms,

wieldy and useless. "Let's drop this local
