    SENATOR LODGE IN
CRITICAL CONDITION
Failure to Rally After Opera
tion Friday for Gastric
Ulcer Causes Fears.
ILLNESS SECRET FOR TIME
Physician Say Becorery Is largely
Matter of Vitality Senator So
Tired Before Operation That
' Strength Is Mncb, Weakened.
NAHAXT. Mass.. Sept. 29. Henry Ca
bot Lodge. United States Senator, senior
member of the Massachusetts aeiega'
tion In Congress, who was operated on
Friday for a gastric ulcer, according to
hl nhvslclan toniftht. was "not en
tirely out of danrer."
Xew of the Senator's Illness leaked
out by accident today. Then it was
learned that for 24 hours followfcig
the operation his life had been des
paired of. The operation ltseit, ni
physician said, was successful, but the
patient, weakened by his labors at the
extra session or congress, aid not nave
the vitality to rally promptly from the
shock. His recovery, according to ir.
B. P. Harrington, one of his physicians,
largely Is a matter of vitality, in which
his 84 years and the fact that he was
a tired man previous to the operation,
must be taken into consideration. Ac-
. cording to Dr. Frederick Wlnslow. an
other of the physicians, the Senator's
condition late tonight was "excellent.
Secretary Iaaura Statement.
The silence of the Lodge house at
Eastern Point was broken for the first
time since the Senators return from
Washington by his . secretary, E. T.
Clark, who gave out the following
statement tonight:
"Senator Lodge was operated on last
Friday for a gastric ulcer. The Sena
tor bad been suffering; for some days
with what was thought to be an attack
of Indigestion, but his condition be
came so critical that the physicians
found an immediate operation neces
sary. Dr. Harrington and Dr. Wlnslow,
who are in charge of the case, today
pronounced the Senator s condition en
tirely satisfactory."
Even some of the Senator's most
intimate friends were surprised to
learn of the serious nature of his ill
lies s. He had returned from Wash'
ington ten days ago, complaining that
he was tired and wanted a rest. In the
seclusion of his estate on Massachu
setts Bay he took many short strolls,
but on Wednesday he complained of the
increasing severity of his indisposition.
Thursday he called in the family phy
sician. Dr. Laurence Cuslck, who found
the Senator suffering from an ulcer of
the stomach. The growth was acutely
developed, he said, and he advised an
Immediate operation.
Senator Opposed to Operation.
This met with the opposition of Sena
tor Lodge who thought such a step un
necessary and believed that he was too
weak to go under the knife.
The family, now greatly worried,
called in Drs. Harrington and Winslow
who confirmed the diagnosis of Dr.
Cusick and said that an operation was
necessary to save the patient's life.
Mrs. Lodge, it is said, added her prayers
to the doctor's advice and the Senator
submitted to their will.
Dr. Harrington performed the opera
tion Friday assisted by Dr. Winslow. A
Might rally on Saturday, was not satis
factory to the physicians and another
consultation was held Sunday. By this
time a still further gain, though slight,
offered more encouragement and Dr.
Winslow's report on his condition late
tonight as "excellent" Indicated addi
tional Improvement.
Hundreds of telegrams and telephone
messages poured In to the Senator's
home tonight, when news of his illness
became known. Secrecy had been main
tained at the request of the Senator
himself. It was said, and two police
men maintained a guard around the
estate.

before Justice Delaney for the custody

son is being sued for a separation by
Mrs. Jennie Husson, based on his al
leged cruelty. The wife applied to the
court for alimony of J"5 a week, saying
that he earns JoOOO a year and that he
has offered her only 110 a week. She
also wants the boy.
In asking that he have the custody
of his son Dr. Husson explained' that
the boy has lived since he was 18
months old with a broken neck. His
mck was broken in two places, but.
contrary to the opinions of surgeons,
he lived through the mishap, until to
day not a trace of the affliction la ap
parent. Dr. Husson contends that un
less the boy continues to receive "deli
cate and interested treatment" it will
he impossible to preserve his life, and
he can have that treatment only if
under the Immediate care of his father.
Justice Delany reserved decision.
The marital troubles of the Hussons

tient of the physician, who, she said,

SCOTLAND YARD IS LOSER
.iui:l Inspector, Weighing 300
Pounds, It e 14 Feet Tall.
LONDON, Sept.- 27. Scotland Tard
lost its most gigantic and picturesque
figure when Inspector William B. Kemp
retired last week. Kemp was the bis
gest man physically in the metropoli
tan police force. Ho weighed over
300 pounds, and this, too, without an
ounce of fat. He was over six and one
half feet tall, and was built generally
on a titanic scale.
For many years he had charge of
some of the toughest districts in London
He has the credit of the arrest of
Chapman, one of the famous poisoners
of England, years ago. He was after
ward one of Superintendent Froest's
right-hand men in solving the mystery
of the murder of Belle Elmore by her
husband. Dr. Crlppen.
In recent years Kemp has been Inspector-secretary
to the superintendent
of Scotland Yard and also of the com
mittee for the reception of foreign of
ficials. Every American policeman' who
has visited Scotland Yard knows Kemp
and has a thousand reasons to thank
him for kindness.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. General
revision of the details .of the Adminis
tration currency bill to insure the car
rying out of the purposes of the mea
sures was recommended today to the
Senate banking and currency commit
tee by Samuel Lntermyer, of New York.
Criticising the bill's definition or
commercial paper," on which currency
would be Issued as "loose and unre
strlcted." Mr. Untermyer said the lines
should be strictly drawn to allow the
issue of currency only on commercial
paper representing the purchase or
sale of a commodity which would en
ter Into commerce.
Mr. Untermyer also recommended al
tering the plan of organization from
the proposed regional reserve banks.
He would give the National banks 90
days in which to subscribe the capital
and deposits for the regional banks,
and if it were not forthcoming would
throw the stock books open to public
subscription, closely restricting the
powers of the subscribers in controlling
the bank. This plan, he said, would
tend to force the banks to enter the
system.
The bill as now framed, Mr. Unter
myer said, gave the banks themselves
too much power in the organization
and control of the proposed new sys
tem. He recommended that the pro
posed "advisory council" of bankers as
an adjunct to the Federal reserve
board be abolished, and that closer
powers of regulation and removal over
regional reserve directors elected by
the banks be given the government.
He urged, however, that the banks re
ceive a flat profit of 6 per cent on their
Investment in the regional banks and
that the Government should receive all
porfits above that figure.
Th right of the regional banks to
enter the open market in competition
with the member banks is absolutely
necessary, be slad, in order that the
regional banks might control and
maintain the rate of discount which
the bill gives them the right to fix.
Mr. Untermyer disagreed flatly with
a scheme advanced by Senators Reed.
Hitchcock and Bristow. under which
the Government would issue currency
directly to the individal banks on their
assets up to 75 per cent of their cap
ital stock, with a provision of a 60
per cent gold reserve. This plan, he
said, would be inelastic and unpractical.

MEASURE IS EXPLAINED
Treasury Department Arranges to
Handle Flood of. Questions Ex-
pected. When Tariff Bill Be
comes Law in Fact.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. The Treas
ury Department is preparing for a
flood of questions about the new in
come tax, realizing that this feature of
the tariff bill about to become law
Btrlkes more Intimately at the tax
paying citizen than do the Indirect
taxes collected through the customs'
duties.
One of the first steps taken to get
general information before the public
will be to distribute Income tax blanks
through postofflces, internal revenue
offices and other Federal agencies.
However, the fact that he does not re
ceive a blank or a request to pay
the tax will not exempt a taxable
person from the penalties of the law.
Detailed Explanation Out.
Representative Cordell Hull, of Ten
nessee, who drew the income tax pro
vision of the tariff bill, made public
today a detailed explanation of the
tax plan as it will touch the individual
citizen.
"The Treasury returnB soon to be pre
pared will make clear to every tax
p yer the requirements of the law and
1.4 application to income derived from
the various kinds of business," said
Mr. Hull. "Any person who keeps
familiar with his business affairs during
the year should have no difficulty in
executing his tax return.
"The income tax is divided into two
phases, the "normal tax' of 1 per cent
on the whole Income above $3000 and
the additional tax that begins with an
extra 1 per cent above J20.000 and is
graduated to 6 per cent above fauo.uuu.
Wherever the income tax is paid 'at the
source' by a corporation for its em
ployes or in similar cases, only the
1 per cent normal tax is so paid. The
Individual has to pay any additional
tax himself. The provisions of the law
reauirine the tax to be withheld at the
source does not take effect until No
vember 1, 1913.
Marcb 1, 1914. Is Limit.
"For the first year the citizen will
make return to the local internal
revenue collector before March 1, 1914,
as to his earnings from March 1, 1913,
to the end of this year. The-collector
will notify him June 1 how much he
owes and the tax mu$t be paid by
June 30. After next year the tax will
apply on the full calendar year.
'If the Income or a person is unoer
J3000 or If -the tax on the same is with
held for payment at the source, or if
the same is to be paid elsewhere in
the United ' States, affidavit may be
made to such fact, and thereupon no
return will be required.
'The tax covers all incomes of citi
zens of the unitea states wnetner
living here or abroad; those of for
eigners living In the United States and
the net incomes from property owned
or business carried on in the United
States by persons living abroad.
'The net income memoes an income
