RAILROAD .CHIEF
CULLS FOR TRUCE
Elliott Says Improvements
Cannot Be Made With
People Hosti'e.
SAME CONDITION GENERAL
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Must Spend $62,1)00,000 Each,
but Oun't Get Money With
, out Public Sympathy.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23. (Special.V-Presl-dent
Howard Kllioit, of the Northern- Pa
cific Railroad, has prepared some data
bearing on the railroad question in gen
eral and particularly the railroad, ques
tion in the Northwest. He takes the
ground that the railroad problem is uni
versal and that the remedy is in more
tracks, equipment and- cars. Mr. Elliott
eays :
"All over the tTnlted States railroad
trains are delayed, yards are crowded
With freight that cannot be- got rid of,
the grain and the raw cotton of the
farmer cannot be shipped, the coal and
merchandise designed for local consump
tion move slowly from the central mar
kets." Must fcpend Over. $62,000,000.
Mr. Elliott says that Important work
now under way on the Northern Pacific
to be finished in the next few years will
cost more than $62,000,000 and that the
tireat Northern will spend at least as
much In new construction. Mr. Elliott
in conclusion says:
"No such enterprise as this, covering
an empire 2000 miles long, dealing with
the fortunes of several million people,
effecting industries most jealous and di
verse, calling for a credit of hundreds
of millions with Investors, can be achieved
successfully except with hearty sympathy
and support of the people.
"It Is, after all, their work. They are
partners in it; they share the benefits,
as witness this ery prosperity which the
building of the railroads has so power
fully promoted. Nothing great and en
during was ever accomplished in this
world by a house divided against itself,
and never was there a time when fair
ness, intelligent appreciation of condi
tions and a willing support on the part
of the people were so necessary or prom
ised to them so large a return as now.
Asks Knd to Hostility.
"Though It deals in big figures and with
partially unfamiliar terms, the whole sit
uation is essentially simple. The cause of
a malady creeping over business is dis
covered, the remedy is at hand. It can
be applied successfully only by a close co
operation, by a mutual tolerance, under
standing, good- faith and insistent helpful
ness that shall put an end to the hos'tile
creed and .forbid the endless, agitation of
malcontents, whose work, at best,; can
only be destructive.. -
"The big task before ttf American peo
ple, before the people 4the Northwest,
can be !' performed only.by-the laying
aside of; old fiiffprences,. the celebration qf
a new 4ompactpf- amity, the hearty pull
togethee of. two -partners and allies the
people themselves and, the railroads, th
what spirit and with what action shall
this emergency be met?"
KEW RUPTURE WITH POPE
I-KAXCE BKKAKS NEGOTIATIONS
TO LEASE CHURCHES.
Prohibition or Foreign Priests He
sontcd by Vatican, Which Calls
It Gratuitous Insult.
ROME, Feb. 23. Vatican authorities
consider that negotiations for leases of
the churches have been broken by the
French government's failure to resume
the conference on the same lines as when
M. Brian interrupted them and its having
added, "evidently at the instigation of
Premier Clemenceau, new conditions of
fensive to the church, especially the
clause prohibiting the appointment of for
eign priests as heads of parishes."
When the Pope received Monsignore
Gourraud, the bishop of St. Anns, today,
he expressed the deepest reget at the
rupture of the, negotiations, saying:
"For a moment 1 hoped that something
niight be saved, but now my disillusion
Is more bitter than ever."
The Vatican authorities are highly in
dignant at the new conditions inserted in
the leases and declare that M. Clemenceau
nag made a secret alliance with Deputy
Mcunier and Deputy Allard, who, it is
said, hope to suppress public worship in
France.
A Vatican official said today that the
condition not to accept foreign priests as
.heads of parishes might be admitted in
exchange for some benefit, but under the
present circumstances this clause is a
"gratuitious Insult," as it shows that the
French government believies the bishops
capable of introducing an anti-Frenoh ele
"f,, the cler"- He continued:
This we emphatically repudiate. The
patriotism of the French clergy is tradi
tional. This condition Is HIgal. aiso. be
cause .the. law of separation, gives the
church Pntire freedonw v The time, may
come when there will, not be enough
French priests to meet the demand, and
recmirse will have to be made to foreign
clergymen." ..
TRENCH INCOME TAX SYSTEM
Clor.o Inquisition to Discover Every
Kind of Wealth.
PARIS, Feb. 23. The new system of
taxation,, based on Incomes from all
sources, which the French government
has proposed to Parliament. Is estimated
to produce J13S.SOO.000 against $138,000,000
under the old system. Most of the taxes
to be suppressed have been in existence
in France for 10 years.
Under the proposed Income tax sys
tem taxes will be levied as follows:
Four per cent on Income from build
ings. $19,250.0110; land, $10,000,000; income
from securities. French, $14,250,000; for
eign, $13,250.uo0: rentes, $2,800,000: credits,
deposits, guarantees for contracts, $fi00,
000 : 3H per cent on the Income from com
merce and industry, $25,600,000; agricul
ture. $4,250,000 : 3 per cent on wages, sal
aries and pensions, $2,600,000; liberal Wo
fessions, $1,250,000.
In addition to the taxes, on Incomes
from these special categories, there is to
be a supplementary graduated tax on
Incomes of over $1000, commencing with
one-fifth of 1 per cent and increasing to
4 per cent on incomes of $20,000 and over.
This Is estimated to produce $24.OO0.00o!
white the 5 per cent on the revenue de
rived from securities, which Is to replace
the old stamp and other transfer dues,
is estimated to produce $26,250,000.
The Inquisitional powers for the dis
covery of concealed revenue are exten
sive and will greatly complicate the work
of the banks and other credit establish
ments. - The banks must keep records of
all transactions In bonds, stocks and
bills of exchange for the inspection of
treasury agents, and must deduct the
tax when due from all coupons, stock
dividends, etc., attaching certificates
showing that the tax had been paid.
As much money has already been loaned
abroad for investment to escape the
threatened Income tax, a considerable
amount to the United States, and it is
feared that much more 'will follow, the
framers of the law have elaborated a
double dragging method for bringing such
Investors into the government net. In
the first place the holder of foreign se
curities residing in France who receives
or deposits abroad directly or indirectly
in dividends. Interests, etc., must within
three months after January 1 of each
year, make a declaration covering the pre
ceding year. Failure to do this or fraud
ulent declaration subjects the offender
to a fine equal to half the amount not
declared and a tax equal to triple the
sum of which the treasury has been de
prived for each year anterior to the dis
covery of the fraud.
But, realizing the difficulty of secur
ing a correct voluntary return, the bill
also adopts methods of preventing clan
destine operations.
Moreover, both foreign government and
private securities are subjected to slightly
heavier burdens than French rentes and
French stocks, undoubtedly with the idea,
of inducing' French investors to keep
their funds at home.
The only persons exempt from the grad
uated income tax are ambassadors and
pther diplomatic and consular officials,
but only where the country .which they
represent grants similar immunities to
French diplomatic and consular officials.
Thls.new scheme of taxation Is for
purely federal purposes and does not af
fect local, departmental and communal
taxes.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23. A panic in the.
Auditorium here during the grand-opera

The dash for the exits had already begun
when Miss Nielsen darted under the de
scending curtain and called to the "or
chestra conductor:
"Play the Star Spangled Banner."
Her voice rose over the tumult and
stopped the panic before she had finished
the first verse. Then the curtain was
raised, firemen appeared on the stage
and. reassured the audience, and the
opera was resumed after a wild outburst
of applause on the part of the audience.
During the confusion someone entered
the dressing room . of M. Constantlne,

THE ASPHYXIATION QUARTET PUTTING A TROUBLESOME
MENDSWEAKSPOTS
House Strengthens Railroad
Employes Bill.
TWO PARTIES OF ONE MIND
Amendments to Measure Limiting
Honrs Receive Unanimous Vote.
Care, for Johnson's Grave Geo
logical 3Iap of Country.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. Under a rule
recommended from the committee on
rules by Dalzell of ' Pennsylvania, the .
House today amended its substitute for
the La Follette 16-hour railroad employes'
bill' by an affirmative vote of 279, there
being no negative votes cast. Both Re
publicans and Democrats agreed that the
amendments strengthened the bill greatly
and that it would be satisfactory to the
President.
The most important amendment adopt
ed -by the House Is the elimination of the
word "knowingly" wherever it occurs,
which has the effect of relieving the rail
roads of responsibility for overwork un
less it is permitted or required with the
knowledge of railroad management that
an employe has worked overtime.
The House agreed td the conference re
port on- the legislative, executive and Judi
cial" bill, and then resolved itself into com
mittee of the whole for the further con
sideration of the sundry civil bill, holding
a night session In the hope of completing
the measure. By a vote of 112 to 53 an
amendment was adopted which provided
for the continuance of work on a geolog
ical map of the United States.
Railroad Men's Bill Strengthened.
The committee on rules presented a rule
making of the highest privilege the House
substitute for the La Follette bill. The
bill as -reported by the committee, on rules
was amended not only by the elimination
of the word "knowingly," but by striking
out the provision in the section regulating
employment, which reads:
"Unless immediately prior to said 24
hours period such employe has had at
least eight hours oft duty and during
said period of 24 hours following had at
least six consecutive hours off duty." The
measure is also amended so as to require
"reasonable prudence;" not ordinary pru
dence'.' - :
DalzeU believed Ihe bill very much
stronger thanjhe La Follette bill, for It
now covered fast mail and excursion
trains, which were left out of the La
FolleUe bill. '
Democrats Claim Glory.
Williams, the minority leader, congrat
ulated the Republicans and the country
upon the amendments made by the rule.
He said the Republicans had seen a new
light and they were-jiow enacting legisla
tion'whi'ch -the DPmocrats had stood for
from the beginning.' '
Bartlett of Georgia said that the change
which had come over the spirit of the Re
publicans was. traceable only, to the "big
stick." -He ' asserted that the changed
condition' hd been due to the-attitude of
the. Democratic members. ,i . i

: ,. .jstorm Over Johnson's Grave.
Over monument' Hilly near -Greenvi!le,
Tertn;, tha last restlns-Place-of ' Andrew
Johnson, a storm of oratory broke while
the House in committee of" the whole
was considering the sundry civil bill. The
place was made a National cemetery a
year ago, and ther Is a paragrph in the
budget crrying $32,000 for a superintend
ent's lodge, roadways, walks and enclos
ing walls.
Gardner of Michigan, a member of the
committee on appropriations moved that
the provision be stricken out for the rea
son that only four Union soldiers are bur
ied there. He said that the appropriation
really was an ingenious way of taking
care of the grave of Andrew Johnson.
Brownlow of Tennessee, who represents
the district once represented by Andrew
Johnson, spoke earnestly against the mo
tion, and told the story of "what East
Tennessee had done for the Union Army.
"The Congressional district of which
Greenville is the center," said Brownlow,
"sent more men to battle for the Union
than any other Congressional district in
the country, and they were 100 miles with
in the Confederate lines."
Passing to a discussion of Andrew John
son, Brownlow said amid great applause:
"In my opinion, Johnson was the greatest
patriot of the Civil War."
Gardner's motion was defeated In a
vast chorus of "noes."
Final Conference on Canal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2fc It was an
nounced that a final conference will
bp held at the White House next Mon
day between the President and Secre
taries Root and Toft relative to the
contract for the construction of the
Panama Canal, and that the decision
will be announced Tuesday.
TREASURY DEPOSITS IN BANKS
Aldrich and Nelson Discuss Shaw's
Handling of Funds.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. Senator Aid
rich, who has for some days been endeav
oring to get final action on his currency
bill, called the measure up in the Senate
shortly before 2 o'clock today. Discussion
progressed until 3 o'clock, when the spe
cial order for eulogies interfered and the
measure went over until nSxt week. Aid
rich stating he should call it up at the
earliest opportunity after Monday.
Nelson explained the nature and intend
ed operation of his amendment. The
amendment permits the Secretary of the
Treasury to receive as security for de
posits fef Government funds in National
banks Government bonds, and "at his
discretion" state or municipal bonds, also
such bonus as the law permits the banks
of Massachusetts and New York to ac
cept. It further provides that the banks
shall pay)the Government at least 2 per
cent Interest per annum on dally balances
of Government deposits.
Nlson Combated the idea that such a
requirement would change the character
of the Governmetn deposits, saying that,
if it was held that banks receiving such
deposits were "fiscal agents" of the Gov
ernment, the money they thus received
should be kept intuct by them and not
loaned out at interest. He said the bet
ter class of banks did not object to paying
interest on Government deposits.
As to the first proposition. Nelson re
peated what he had said several days ago,
that the Secretary was now receiving rail
road bonds as security. Aldrich had ques
tioned this at the time and Nelson pro
duced a letter today from a banker of
St. Paul, which stated that the Secretary
had received from him as security for
Government deposits $150,000 of Northern
Pacific 4t4 per cen.t and $60,000 4 per cent
Union Pacific bonds.
Aldrich admitted that he had been In
correct in denying the statement.
Nelson said he did not know by what
authority the Secretary had received such
securities, unless it should be the words1
"and otherwise" In the law, saying that
Government deposits should be "secured
by United States bonds and otherwise."
Later, when Aldrich was discussing the
bill, the same point was reached and Nel
son asked by what authority the Secre
tary of the Treasury had received other
than Government bonds.
"I must confess I do not know," an
swered Aldrich. "I do know that he has
been receiving a miscellaneous character
of securities, but so far as I know he has
never reported to Congress the class of
securities he has been receiving."
The Nelson amendment.as explained by
Aldrich, would require all Government
funds to be kept in National banks, and
thus the larges banks of the country,
whfrh habitually carry United States
bonds as investments, would receive the
deposits.
. Aldrich said the finance committee had
realized in dealing with the questions that
they were many and difficult, but if an
attempt was made to ' so)ve them at the
present short session, failure in all re
spects would result.
"Therefore." he continued, "the com
mittee reported a bill permitting the Sec
retary of the Treasury to deposits cus
toms receipts in National banks in the
same manner as he deposited Internal
revenue receipts. As a matater of fact,
the Secretary of the Treasury Is doing
this now by depositing in banks all of
the internal revenue receipts and using
the customs receipts to pay current ex
penses. But this operation Is not direct."
JO BEKR FOR OLD SOLDIERS
Hou.-e Again Orders Canteens Ont.of
National Homes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The House
adopted an amendment to the sundry
civil bill providing that no bar or can
teen where intoxicating liquors are sold
shall be maintained in National Soldiers'
homes. In view of the campaign through
out the country against the canteen in
soldiers' homes intense interest was
shown when that feature of the bill was
reported.
Bowersock of Kansas precipitated the
debate by offering an amendment pro
viding that no part of the appropriation
carried in the bill for soldiers' homes
should be apportioned to any National
home for disabled volunteers that main
tains a bar or canteen where intoxicat
ing liquors are sold.
Tawney said that 20 new saloons had
been erected around the soldiers' borne
In Milwaukee in anticipation of the clos
ing of the. canteens. He said the man
agement of every National, soldiers' home
in the country had asked that the can
teen be restored in the interest of tem
perance. Goulden of New York, as a trustee of
the Bath, N. T., soldiers' home, said that
since the canteen had been closed the
2400 inmate of the establishment had
gone on record in favor of the old "beer
hall." where they could have light drinks
and music under normal circumstances.
Hepburn of Iowa closed the debate,
supporting the amendment. He said more
men were slaughtered by rum each year
than by wars in any ten years of the
world's history. Hepburn remarked that
he could not believe that the removal of
the opportunity for drunkenness would
increase drunkenness.
The amendment of Bowersock was
