TO CHANGE SYSTEM
OF TAXATION
-While at noon today the legislative
tax committee had npt taken a vote on
the proposition, sentiment among the
members seemed . favorable to the
abolishment of the present law impos
ing a tax on mortgages and notes, and
It is stated that such will likely be Its
action. v
The objection urged against the
law Is that It imposes a double tax on
property, and discourages capital.
This afternoon the committee will
likely consider the matter of revising
the Inheritance law so that it will not
conflict with those of other states
make it conform to the model law
adopted In New York.
Yesterday afternoon the committee
decided to adopt an amendment to the
constitution providing for an Income
tax. The ultimate plan Is to have this
tax substituted for the personal tax.
Committee also decided to Initiate a
law giving exemptions to mechanics,
farmers and houpoholders.

CAMORRISTS
MAY BE DISCHARGED
tUNITRD rit.SSB LSASCD
Viterbo, Italy, Feb. 13. With the
resumption of arguments in the Cam-
orrlst trial today, it is generally be
lieved that the state has failed to
prove Is case,' and practically every
body connected with the famous
trial expects that the accused men
will be acquitted.
That the men on trial were con
nected with the Camorra there Is
little doubt, but there has been a to
tal, abwnce of direct evidence to
prove that any of them had any con
nectlon with the murder ot Cuollo
and his wife at Naples.'
The whole prosecution depends
largely on the testimony of Abbatto
magglo, the Informer, who turned
state's evidence, and the defense has
cast grave doubt on his sanity.

Ralph Mason, engineer ot the gaso
line launch ' Independence, and the
boom men of the Spaulding logging
company, the floating house that
shelters the boom men during bad
weather would have been completely
destroyed this morning about 10:30.
As It was, the contents of the build
ing consisting of the street clothes
of the boom men and their dinners,
were sacrificed to the flames.
The fire started from the stove
that heats the place and got a good
start while the men were occupied
in working with a haul-up chain in
the main building. Duckets were
brought Into play with good effect
and the shell of the building saved.

Superintendent Powers and Principal Kirk have not Been Very
Friendly Since the Building of the Addition to the . High
School Last Year, at Which Time the Committee Consulted
Kirk and Ignored Powers Schreiber is in it Simply Be
cause of His Friendly Attitude Toward Powers.
From a source the authenticity of
which cannot be questioned It was
learned last evening that discord and
dissension 1b running rampant In the
schools; that two directors are advo
cating the resignation, of J. M. Pow
ers, city superintendent, and also
Geo. Schrleber, instructor in art, and
should it be that they can prevail
upon the third director who is at the
present apparently occupying neu
tral ground, they will succeed In at
taining their end.
Ever since the awarding of a con
tract for the construction of an ad
dition to the high school building
about a year ago there has existed
an unfriendly feeling between Super-'
Intendent Powers aud Principal Kirk,
it Is alleged; and it is this that is
prompting two ot the directors to
suggest the resignation of Powers.
Schreiber seems to have b'jeii drawn
into the fight because of his friend
ship for Powers, and also through
enemies made by his stand taken on
questions at meetings of the stu
dent body.

MLT8T ANSWER FOR
GIRL'S DELINQUENCY
Jim Psloghoglous, the young Greek
bootblack, wh was arrested here Fri
day afternoon In company with Mary
Jones and Lena Howell, two runaway
girls from Lebanon, waa bound over
to the grand Jury to answer to the
charge of contributing to the delin
quency ot a minor, and was released
on a $500 ball,1
When It became necessary to prove
the delinquency of the girls, who are
barely 16 years ot age, Deputy District
Attorney Wlnslow suggested to the
Judge that the court room be cleared
of every one but the newspaper re
porters. The delinquency was proven
by the direct testimony of Lena How
ell, who, however, maintained that the
relations existing between herself and
"Jim" were perfectly proper. Peter
Green, anothor Young Creek, who
Joined the party In Albany, was re
leased, as Attorney Brown maintained
that there was not sufficient evidence
to convict In the higher court.
.. State's Attorney Wlnslow said tills
romlng that the Information secured
during the trial might be used against,
men In Lehunon, who caused the down
full of the young girls. Miss Howell
testified that one of these men is now
married, and that five or six others
are Implicated.
After the ttiul Chief Hamilton de
livered the girls over to the county
court and they were later sent to the
Home of the Good Shepherd, In Port

were beiug considered for the addi

committee, it is understood, took
Principal Kirk Into its confidence
and consulted him as to design and
equipment, completely ignoring Pow
ers. Before that, it was stated, there
was not a very friendly feeling be
tween the two educators, and this
only embittered It, Powers resenting
the action of the committee.
From time to time things have
arisen to Increase the unfriendliness
and embitter the controversy, until
the time has arrived when two ot
the directors seem to be ot the opin
ion that action must be taken to
eliminate the discord.
Directors Millard and Holt, It Is
understood, are favoring the resig
nation of Powers. Director Lafky,
while a friend ot Kirk, it Is stated,
Is endeavoring to occupy neutral
ground. Directors IMles and Moores
are away from the city, but will re
turn soon, and then the proposition
will likely come before the board.
Miles Is said to be neutral and
Moores to be a friend ot Powers.
LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
BANQUET GREAT
The banquet given by the Young
Men's Republican club at the Marion
Monday evening was a decided suo
cMh. There was s large attendance,
and besldei the good things to eat,
there were many good thing In the
way ot mental pabulum, Of, course
the theme was Lincoln, and with
that grandest ot modern characters
as theme, no speech could be had
while on the other band none could
be too laudatory. There were many
guests from out of the city, and
some of the finest talks of the even
ing were made by them. Occasion
was taken to make some comparison
to the conditions In good old Father
Abraham's time and the present, and
Mr. U'Ren and others ot that pestif
erous genus were soundly scored.
Senator Carson, of this city, was
among the speakers and made a lu
cid showing ot the Iniquities ot the
present registration system.
Hon. C. N. McArthur made the
principal speech of the evening, and
made a good one too, as ho always
does.
The affair was a great success
from every standpoint end sorved to
tighten the bonds between the young
er generation of Republicans.
