C, Secretary Stimson informed me that he was going to send me to the East," said General Maus. "He said that any one who hac served such a long time in the West is entitled to a change.

It will be with regret when I leave here for the East." General Maus expects to leave here for bis new station the latter part of this month. Colonel Young has Teceived no or ders yet, about the proposed change. IDAHO COURT IS REVERSED Federal Tribunal Rules In Dispute Over Possession of Island.

BUSINESS AGENT ARRESTED Conspiracy in Murderous Attempt on Union Man Charged. JERSEY CITY.- N. J.. Feb. S. A se quel to the recent shooting of Thomas Conroy came today with the arrest of Peter P. Murphy, business agent of the Hosting Engineers' Union of this city, , on a warrant charging conspiracy in an attempt to bring about the death of John W. Burke, a member of the same union. Conroy was shot by mistake by a New York gangster who came here in search of Burke, accord ing to an alleged confession by one of the men just after the shooting. The warrant for Murphy was based on an affidavit by Burke that the crime was committed on the evening of an exposure he intended to make to the union's officers concerning alleged aclions of Murphy. The police are making special efforts to arrest "Kid Dynamite" and "Big Slim." who are alleged to have fled after Conroy was shot. Conroy's condition improved to day and he may recover. INCOME TAX IS RATIFIED (Continue From First Page.l GENERAL declared he favored making the new tax an integral part of the financial system of the United States, to remain in full force without regard to the character of tariff bills that Congress may enact from time to time. Collecttwa at Source Vraed. One feature, which it la believed will be included In the law, will be a pro vision for "collecting at the source" of the income. This feature, now in operation in England, would require firms to certify the amount paid In dividuals in salaries and fees and pay the tax direct to the Government. It Is believed this would remove much complaint that mighty be made if the Government had to investigate every individual citizen's income and would prevent evasion of the law. The annual amount that the Govern ment may realize under the income tax is estimated by Democratic leaders in Congress t approximately l 00.000.000. This would include the J30.000.000 col lected under the present corporation tax. "One of the important results of an income tax." said Representative Hall, "will be the curbing of unnecessary Federal expenditures. When a great part of the Government's Income is derived by a direct tax upon the citi zens of the Nation, they will scrutinize more carefully the appropriations made by Congress." Wilson. Slay Serve Xotice. . Probably it will remain for President-elect Woodrow Wilson to make official announcement of the Income tax amendment to the Constitution. Up to date the State Department has received notices of approval by the Legislatures of only 34 states. West Virginia. Delaware, Wyoming and New Mexico not having reported on their action. The ' department cannot act upon anything less than the official certificate of the Governors and Secre taries of State. Even when all the certificates are at hand, the Executive Colonel Irona Wao Succeeds to Command of Post at Vancouver Barracks. will not be in a position formally to announce that fact. In a matter of this importance it is. necessary to move with extreme caution, and Secretary Knox, the custodian of the certificates, will refer them to the solicitor of the Department of State for examination as to their sufficiency. Already, some questions have been raised as to the legality of the re turns. In Kentucky the Legislature initially adopted the amendment In ad vance of the. receipt from Secretary Knox of the formal communication, which should serve as a basis for a state's action. In consequence of this baste, and the use of a newspaper clipping, the language of the enacting resolution was slightly erroneous. CANAL OUTPOST VIEWED ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS FIND FLAW IN PLANS.

JUDGES' RECALL REJECTED (Continued From First Page.) as any other official, or the same as any private citizen who Is working for another. Representative Chamberlain, of Whit man County; attacked the recall sys tem as a revolutionary scheme looking to the degradation of the courts. "The recall system opens the way -tor all manner of evils," he said. "It opens the way for attempts to Intimidate judges and make the position of judge one to be sought only by Incompetents. I urge the defeat of this bill for the upholding of tha dignity of the courts. If for no other reason. That Is the same argument that has been made for the perpetuation of power of royalties of Europe since time Immemorial," declared E. K. Brown, floor leader of the Progressives. "The people1 of this state demand the right to recall judges, and we will re pudiate the trust placed in us by our constituents if we fail to pass this bill." Nearly every representative had some opinion to' express for or against the recall. Several attacks wera made on reformera and agitators who were said to be responsible tor "such a state of affairs that there Is no more dignity even to the courts which, pass upon hu man rights and human lives." Froa-reaalvra Take Defense. Progressives taking the name "Re farzner" and "Agitator" to be dlrected- at them defended their stand in favor of the recall of all officers. On the first vote the promoters of the bill were lacking in strength. Dur ing the noon adjournment they got busy and tried to drum up more votes. They entered into an agreement with Speaker Taylor. Republican leader, whereby the bill could be brought up for a second rollcall. This action on the part or Floor Leader Brown aroused the Ire of other Progressive leaders, and there was split of Moosers for a while. Murphlne, a Moose leader, seeing the sure defeat of the bill, moved to have it referred to the judiciary committee. Brown or dered the Progressives to vote against the referring. Half voted for it and the' other half against it. The break was adjusted a few moments later and the solid Progressive vote went in favor of the bill again. Another Pledge la Lost.

Several attacks were made on the college and its management. The in stitution was defended by McArdle, who declared that the only trouble is that caused by the labor and Grange lead ers and others who are trying to down the school. He flayed the leaders for promoting reform bills, styling the labor committee which is working for bills In the lobby here as "a Self-constituted committee with a batch of re forms political in their aim and per sonal in their foundation."

T SHOE fiCIlERY COMBINE IS VALID Supreme Court Holds Firms Not Competing May Unite According to Law. ANTI-TRUST ACTION FAILS Department of Justice, However, to Continue Prosecution on Ground That Company Tried to Compel Trade With It Alone. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. The Su preme Court of the United States held In effect today for the first time that the Sherman anti-trust law does not forbid the mere combining of non- competitors In an Industry. The de cision was given in. the "shoe ma chinery trust" case, in which Solicitor General Bullitt, for the Government had contended that If tha combination brought Into one hand an "undue pro portion" of the trade, it was forbidden by the anti-trust law. "The disintegration aimed at by the statute does not extend to requiring all manufacture to isolated units of the lowest degree," declared Justice Holmes in announcing the unanimous decision of the court that the mere or ganization of the United Shoe Mai chinery Company by the heads of sev eral non-competing groups of shoe manufacturers had not been a viola tion of the law. ' Former Decisions Quoted. The Justice continued to say that it is as . lawful for one corporation to make every part" of a steam engine and to put the machine tbgether as it would be for one to make the boilers and another to make the wheels. In an explanation of this concise state ment of law he referred to the court's recent Minnesota creamery decision and the older Swift & Co. decision, in which It was held that "an intent" is necessary as an -element of an at tempt to monopolize. The combin ing of non-competing branches of a trade into juxtaposition alone by means of a corporation, he said, in' substance, did not furnish sufficient "intent" to raise the conduct to the dignity of an attempt to monopolize. Despite today's decision, officials of the Department of Justice declared that the United Shoe Machinery Com pany would be prosecuted for the al leged criminal violation of the Sher man law under the one remaining count of the Indictments returned against the company, the validity of which was sustained by the lower court. Final Count Considered Vital. That count which was not before the Supreme Court charged in effect rjiat the company was monopolizing the in- dutstry by combination, by tying the various shoe machines together, by the destruction or competition and by the acquisition ' of competitors' business. Officials vigorously maintained that the decision did not affect the Government's case on this count. The strongest feature of the Gov ernment's effort to show an unlawful combination in restraint of trade, said Solicitor-General Bullitt, was the tying" class of the agreement, by which It is alleged that the company sought to compel shoe manufacturera to buy machines from it and none other. That question, he declared, was not considered by the court, be cause the lower court had Interpreted the indictments Involved in today's de cision as referring solely to the or ganization of the United Shoe Ma chinery Company. Attorneys for the department said the decision would not affect any other pending anti-trust suits. RIVER SURVEY IS URGED CHAXXT3L 20 FEET DEEP VANCOUVER DESIRED. TO Appropriation of $150,000 for Road Work in. Mount Kanler Park Also Is -Advocated. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 3. Senator Jones and Representative Humphrey today ap peared before the Rivers and Harbors Board of Engineers and urged final snrvey of the Columbia River between Vancouver and the mouth of the Wil lamette, with a view to the adoption of a report for a 20-foot channel to the Vancouver docks. A preliminary re port of the board was not favorable to this survey. They also urge the survey of Ska mokawa Creek, on the Lower Colum bia, with a view to the removal of bar's that now impede navigation. The board took no action. Representative Warburton and Sam uel C. Lancaster, of Seattle, today urged the House appropriations com mittee to include in the sundry civil bill an item appropriating $150,000 for road work in the Mount Rainier Na tional Park.
