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 Concluded qa Pas S.) 4 Race Feeling Runs High, Owing to Fact That Fire Has Made Over 0 00 People Homeless.

Mrs. Hutton Seeks to Oust Mrs. DeVoe. DECISIVE ANSWER IS WANTED Issue Awaits Action of Nation al Committee. REPORTER IS TOLD TO GO Falls City Suffragist Refuses to Dis- cuss Subject Mrs. La Relne Threatens to Disrupt Nation al Convention If Need Be. 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 (Concluded on Page 6.)

Three thousand dollars a month may be a small sum for Mrs. Howard Gould to akimp along on, as was said when Justice Dow ling fiexd that sum as her alimony from her husband. She spared enough out of her first month's allowance received yes terday to buy some remembrances, which she sent today to the Courthouse at taches who were courteous to her during the trial of her suit. The gifts came by a messenger from Tiffany's. He had tiny packages for offloers in the trial court, but they were not about, and he would not reveal the names of the lucky ones. The first to receive a memento was James F. Flock, of the elevator force. When Flock opened his little parcel he found inside a solid gold case which held a gold-tipped amber" clgarholder. The price card, left by inadvertence, no doubt, in the package, bore the figures $27.50. CANNON COSTS TWO HANDS First Victim of Fourth Is Small With Toy Explosive.

BOARD OF MANAGERS REDUCED House, After Long Debate, Cuts Number to Three. PROBE BOARD GETS $30,000 Cost of Impeachment Trial Is Lim ited to S4O.0O0 Total Appropri ations Aggregate $110,000. 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, brought In a resolution this morning re ducing the membership to three, they to be Speaker Meigs, Lambert of Whatcom and Edge of Spokane. Beach of Mason, supporting tbo motion, declared that tho Impeachment Board's expenses. Including the salaries of clerk and sergeant-at-arms, would be 89.60 a day. The Senate rules, he Bald, did not give any member of tho board the right to propound questions, and that so large a board would be un wieldy and useless.
