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

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

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.

the naval officials were endeavoring
to find a solution of the problem of an
adequate natural water supply for the
naval station, it was discovered by the
strategists that, through an oversight
in the plans of delense, it would De pos
sible for an army advancing on the
station from the rear to occupy a po
sition on Cuban soil, by artillery, that
would completely dominate the naval
base.
It was decided, while engaged in the
acaulrement "of a right of way across
Cuban territory to one of the rivers In
the rear of the station, to enlarge the
tract to be purchased so as to include
this particular site, where an enemy
might operate to advantage. This joint

Three Counterfeiters.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3. United States

greatly moved today when he sentenced
three Rice brothers James, Melvin and
Fred to the penitentiary for counter
feiting. James was given five years
and the other two three years each.
George, a fourth brother, was granted
a new trial.
When James told the court that his
wife and her two children are to be
evicted from their home for non-payment
of rent. Judge Carpenter burst
out:
"Why do you tell me that? You make
it all the harder for the court, when the
matter is painful enough as it is."
James Rice, senior, father of the de
fendants, now is serving a ten years'
sentence for counterfeiting in Atlanta,
and the plea of James, junior, that he
be sent to that institution was granted.

JUDGES' RECALL REJECTED

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.

Several attacks were made on the
college and its management. The in

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

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.
