THE INCOME TAX.
A Very Lively Time In the Commit
tee Yesterday.

Washington, Jan. democratic
members of the ways and means com
mittee, met at the treasury depart
ment tonight to finally decide upon
the income tax question and the in
ternal revenue features of the tariff
bill.
There were present Wilson, McMil-
len. Breckenridge, Montgomery, Bryan,
Tarsney, Cochran, Stevens, Whiting
and Turney. Mr.. Bynums absence
prevented a vote on the income tax
question, and after a session of three
hours the committee adjourned till to-
morrow at 4 o'clock. The discussion
tonight was general, covering the en-
tiregquestion of how the deficit in the
revenues are to be met. The issue be-
tween the members is whether the in
come tax shall be upon individual in
comes or simply upon the incomes
from corporations. The weight of the
administrations influence is thrown
strongly against the individual tax
proposition, and it was apparent to-
night, by the manner in which it was
attacked by those supposed to repre-
sent the administration views.
Cochran, of New York, was per-
sistent and aggressive. He made five
speeches, in which ne contended the
necessary revenue could be raised from
the single tax on incomes from corpor-
ations. He produced figures to show
that a l per cent tax on incomes from
corporations would produce a, revenue
of $40, 100000. But those who favor in
dividual income tax maintain that not
over $13,000,000 could be raised in this
way
Incidentally, details of other internal
revenue features. were proposed. The
increases on whisky and beer were dis
cussed, but all piyoted on the decision
of the main proposition, it being con
coded, that if a tax be levied against
individual incomes an increase from
other sources would be unnecessary.
Although sugar has been placed on
the free list, by a majority vote of the
Democratic members of the committee
the question of restoring it to the
dutiable list also cut some figure in
the evenings discussion. Nothing
however, was decided, and when the
committee adjourned, Chairman Will
son said the situation was absolutely
unchanged.

Irrigation in the West.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The determine
ton of the problem of the amount of
water to be used for irriga ton in the
west is the object of investigation now
in progress at the geological survey.
Scientists of the survey have complet-
ed chart showing the mean annual
run off in the streams of the United
States. 1t was compiled under the di-
rection of Geologist F. H. Norre1 and
is the first map of it's character ever
made. 1t is the result of about four
teen years study. though only since
six years ago has the investigation been
conducted on an extensive scale. Dur
ing the past six years all the large
rivers in the country have been gagged
by survey of the scientists.

Mrs. Lease Does Not Propose to Show

there was an earnest desire to bring
a brief season of happiness to every
one. The distribution of clothing, coal,
etc, is still in progress
But, after all, this is but temporary
relief, though it has served the good
purpose of acquainting the public with
the sad fact that there is a large num-
Der of people here who are vainly
seeking employment and who are in
a condition of absolute distress. Last
night. at a meeting held at the cham
Der of commerce, business men and
ministers discussed the situation. The
plan generally recommended was to
raise a large fund by private subscrip-
ton to be expended under the direc-
ton of the board of supervisors. There
is a vast amount of public work to be
done here but which that board can
not even commence, owing to the lack
of funds, but it is believed that the
city must at once choose between Civ
ing the unemployed work or charity,
or submit to pillage, and that it will
wisely choose the former The papers
estimate that there are 5000 of 5000
idle men and women here who really
want work, but it is safe to say there
are that many who are cold and
hungry, while there are five times as
many who, without work, will soon be

OF course Herald readers know all
about the recent train hold-ups near
Los Angeles. 1t was only a little more
than a year previously that Chris
Evans and the Sontags robbed the
train near Fresno. George Sontag is
now serving a life sentence therefor at
Folsom, being permanently crippled
also as the result of his attempt to es-
cape from prison. John Sontag was
mortally wounded when he and Evans
were captured last summer In the
same fight Evans lost an arm and is
now under a life sentence, with one=or
two more indictments for murder still
pending, but even while the papers in
the state were yet discussing the YER
dict this latter robbery occurred. It
looks as though some men are growing
very desperate or that life sentence,
with the prospect of a pardon in the
course of forty or fifty years, even if
caught and convicted, is not such a
very serious matter after all. The jury
is blamed for not hanging Chris
Evans In view of the unpopularity of
the Southern Pacific road and Wells,

have been surprising had Evans been
acquitted. And it is on that unpopu-
la1ity that California train robbers

BIG BLAZE IN BOSTON.
The Globe Theatre and Other Build
ings Go Up in Smoke.

Boston, Jan. ., PAS g. m.-The
Globe theatre was completely Quilted
and the property of the Hanlons' Su-
perba. company ruined by fire early
this morning. Every engine that can
be spared is being used to protect ad-
jacent property. At this hour large
six-story building, just erected by the
Harvard college trustees has caught
and it looks as if the entire block on
the Harrison avenue extension will be
swallowed up. On the Essex street
side, adjoining the theatre. are valu-
abe blocks of buildings occupied by
large business concerns. The streets
of the city are in total darkness and
electric cars have ceased to run owing
to the current being turned off The
heavens are Illuminated with a blaze
which can be seen miles around
Sparks from the fire Travelled with the
wind two and three blocks away and
a most careful watch is being kept by
the policemen.
The first alarm was given at lis a.
m. and was quickly followed by a
second, third and fourth alarm It is
thought the fire started in the coat
room Of the theatre by some one
throwing lighted cigarette on the
floor The estimated loss on the the
and that of the Hanlons company
$4,000. The fire is still raging and
there is no telling where it viii stop.
1925 a. n.-The fire has been checked
on Essex street and the Harrison
avenue extension of the theatre. but it
is eating its way into the buildings on
the other side. The Globe cafe is a
total less. There is a fair prospect of
combining the flames within the present
limits. 1t is impossible to state what
the loss viii amount to in the business
buildings.
At 1856 a. M. the fire is apparently
Under control and the danger of a gem
esal conhagration passed
The total loss will undoubtedly reach
nearly million dollars. All the prop
erty is well insured.

STEVENS is SICK.
VIII Probably Be Worse Before He
is Better.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The Senate
committee investigating the alleged
irregularities of the diplomatic rela-
tons between this country and Hawaii
will resume its sittings tomorrow. It
is believed there will possibly be a. full
committee and it is presumed tina
hereafter the investigation will pro-
coed regularly. All who have yet been
communicated with upon the subject
have signiffed their willingness to
come to Washington for that purpose
without making it necessary to resort
to the process of formally serving
subpoenas. 1t had been expected that
Stevens would appear early and give
his testimony but his health is liable
to prevent this. Thus, even with all
the members OF the committee present
and prepared to go forward with the
work the inquiry may be delayed in
definitely. The committee counts upon
securing tomorrow the testimony of
Professor Alexander, who was sur
veyor general of Hawaii under the
provisional government and a native of
the country. He is a son of missionary
parents and naturally a strong sup
porter of the Dole government.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-The Midwin-

We were on our way from Northern

ing that the thought OF its continuance
through the night was unbearable to us
both, so we decided to stop at the next
town. seek better conveniences for re-

and again pursue our journey In the
morning.
But where shall we stop" asked my
wife. for our travelled friends In bequeath-
ing us the legacy OF their European expe-
rience had left Us the address of no lodg-
ing in this little town.
Perhaps the guide-book will help us
out" / suggested.
Somewhat to my surprise the guide
book mentioned our out-of-the-way town
and named It's dozen OF hotels and pen-
sions. one OF the latter we chose.
1t was still light when we reached the
border OF France and drew into our
station.
Here there were several llveried men,
with the names OF their respective hotels
lettered across the fronts Of their caps
and throwing open the doors of their con-
veyances with great flourish OF hospi-
tally.
There were more unliveried men who
thronged about us each manifesting the
utmost eagerness to relieve us of our
luggage.
TO one Of these ] surrendered our bags
and gave him the address to which he
should take them.
We had not far to follow him.. He
took US through a turn in the road and
SOON deposited our bags upon the
threshold of our lodging.
Here we were beamingly received by
the proprietor of the pension, much. In
deed, as IL we were l~ong-looked for

Madame wore an old black silk dress,
which still bore the stamp of its Pa
