Nevada Fledged to Proposal.
CHICAGO, July 11. (Special.) Illi
nois has prospects of taking: the lead
among- all the states in the ratification
of the proposed amendment to the Con
stltution authorizing; Congress to levy
and collect a tax on incomes.
What sentiment has bubbled to the
surface among: the Assemblymen, Re
publicans and Democrats alike, appears
to be largely in favor of the amend
ment, and in case the question is voted
on at the special session next Fall
the leaders assert the probability Is
that Illinois will be the first of the
states to ratify.
West Strongly for Tax.
From outside states comes word
that voters and legislators are manifesting-
great interest in the income tax
amendment and that' if it is submitted
it probably will be ratified by all the
progressive commonwealths of the
West. Governor Johnson of Minnesot
said his state is for an income tax.
"The sentiment in Minnesota," he
said, "is overwhelmingly in favor of an
Income tax. While it is Impossible to
forecast any probable action of the
Legislature, I am sure the Minnesota
. Legislature would ratify an income tax
amendment if it were submitted."
Primary Vote In Oregon.
Governor Benson of Oregon said in
his state a primary vote would be
taken on the. Income tax amendment it
it is submitted.
"The people should have an oppor
tunity to express their wishes," he said,
"and under our methods the measure
will doubtless be referred to the peo
ple.
"At this time it la Impossible to say
. with accuracy what the prevailing
feeling la In Oregon upon the proposed
Income tax amendment to the Federal
Constitution, and what action the Leg
islature might take, but the people o
this state will doubtless have an op
portunlty to register their wishes."
Strong Sentiment In Nevada.
In Nevada sentiment is all In favo
of the income tax, and according to
Governor Dickerson public opinion In
his state will compel the political
parties to pledge their candidates for
the Legislature to vote to ratify the
proposed amendment.
"Publlo sentiment in Nevada," wrote
Governor Dickerson from Carson, "is
overwhelmingly In favor of the income
tax. A proposed amendment to the
Federal Constitution authorizing the
taxing of Incomes will be ratified be
yond question of doubt by the Legisla
ture of this state." .

. General Sharretta Says Senate BUI
Will Show Reduction.
WASHINGTON, July 11. Senator Aid
rich reiterates his statement that the
Senate tariff bill does not impose ad
ditional burdens upon the consumer.
"Isolated cases of increase of rates are
taken and the entire bill condemned be
cause of these," said Mr. Aldrich,
"It is usually, the case that if the sec
tion of the country that has found fault
with one schedule would consider the
tranjfers of articles to the free list and
compare the Increases with the reduc
tions that have been made, that section
would see it had been made a beneficiary
by the general revision."
General T. S. Sharretts, the veteran tar
iff expert, who has been a member of
the Board of General Appraisers in New
York for many years, declares the Sen
ate bill will show a 2 per cent reduction
from the Dingley law, and a material
reduction from the House rates.
General Sharretts, who is a Democrat,
is assisting the conference committee. He
performed a similar office for the Demo
crats when the Wilson bill was in con
ference. Representative Payne said tonight the
rates of the House bill, judged from the
standpoint of the general public, are ma
terially lower than those of the Senate
bill. Mr. Payne pointed out that hides,
tallow, iron ore, licorice extracts and
other articles of great importance to the
consuming public, were transferred to the
dutiable list by the Senate; while skins,
radium, certain spices, cocoa, oleo stearin
and miners' safety appliances were the
most Important articles placed on the
free list by the Senate.
"It is unfair to compare the two bill
by figuring the ad valorem rates on each."
said Mr. Payne. Members pf the House

DETROIT SURE OF 1910
Sentiment for Portland as Meeting
Place for Grand Lodge Three
Years Hence Seems to Be
Gaining With Delegations.
LOS ANGELES. July 11. (Special.)
Portland's the town for us in 1912." is
the slogan of the delegation from the
State of Oregon, which cannoned Into
the Elks' headquarters on Spring street
here today. And the members evidently
meant every word of it, for they were
out in fighting trim and determined
that nothing shall take away the honor
of having the "Bills" in the North three
years from now. It was this spirit
which won the day for Los Angeles
after the grueling fight at the Dallas
convention last year, and the local Elks
are said to be heart and soul in favor
of their Northern brothers.
Wires to Be Laid.
Of course any work that is done here
this year will be simply In the nature
of laying wires for the real fight that
will come In 1911, two years hence,
But for all that the delegates believe
In getting to the ground early and
avoiding the rush. As a result. It Is
generally conceded they will win.
ine iact that Detroit lias the con
vention practically assured for next
year, and that St. Louis, Boston and
Baltimore are "mentioned" as being in
the running for 1911, gives the Port-
landers a chance to do a little inside
politics a chance which they are tak
ing advantage of Jn every possible way.
St. Louis Is said to be the favorite
among the delegates who have given
the matter of the future gatherings of
the order a thought, and it Is more than
likely Portland will aid the Missouri
city in gaining her ambition, in return
for future favors.
Delegation Met With Honor.
When the delegation reached here
this morning it was met by the famous
White Squadron, now in tan uniform,
ana marcnea into the special cars
which had been parked pending its ar
rival in the streets in front of the
depot. There was music galore, but the
136 members of the delegation made a
lot mora noise than the bands put to
gether.
Gus Moser, exalted ruler, was in
charge of the crowd from Portland,
and the Grand Lodge representative
was much In evidence. Dr. Harry

TSZETSE FLY GAINS FAME
Its Bite Not Dangerous, but Germ
It Carries Is, Scientists Say.
NEW YORK, July 11. The Tszetse fly,
thn insect that jumped from scientific
obscurity to public notice on the eve of
Theodore Roosevelt's departure for
Africa, received a certificate of char
acter today at the Rockefeller Institute.
Dr. S. B. Meltzer, one of the affiliated
specialists, announced that the dreaded
sleeping sickness is carried by the tszetse
fly only colncidentally as the common
house fly may carry typhoid. The bite of
the tszetse is not venomous said the
physician. Th3 real offender is the only
disease germ known to have the power
of locomotion the trypanosum.
Since the steeping sickness first made
its appearance in Uuanada in 1901. ano.fioo

its toll from the Congo has been almost

there was not one drop of a coward's

charges against anyone or to say that
my son was the victim of a prear
ranged plot. The whole story will be
brought out before the court of in

the guilty. Tremendous Influence was
brought to bear on the Navy Depart

mind you, held that my son had com
mltted suicide. Everyone concerne
in that mysterious quarrel in that

of October 13. 1907, knew that the

able story of the tragic fate of a youth
ful pretender to the Dragon throne and
large number of his followers comes

so lately adorned by the halo of the
Son of Heaven, was after his execution,
being paraded through the province In
