REGARDING THE INCOME TAX.
What Will the Senate Do with the De
ficieucy Rip

What VIII the Senate Do with the De-
ficiency Bill?
The prospective action of the Senate on the
income tax feature of the deficiency bill is the
subject of some discussion among the mem
bers who remain here. There is a belief in
certain quarters that Senators Hill and Quay
will join forces to try to beat the bill by talk
ing it to death if it cannot be defeated in any
other way.
1t is we'll known that the tax cannot be col
lected unless the bill providing therefor
passes. as the tariff act made no provision for
its collection. So it is believed by some that
Senators Quay and Hill may be planning to
defeat the bill which carries the appropria-
tion for it. OF cour se the hostility of both
those gentlemen to the bill is well known.
Senator Quay, it is said. has recently got
out his unfinished speech OF last session and
busted it Off, preparatory 20 business. This
1t is said, makes a stack ofmanuscript several
feet high, and would occupy several weeks
delivered in comfortable installments.
Senator Lodge is quoted as saying that the
Republicans OF the South are of the opinion
that they ought to discuss the matter pretty
thoroughly, as they dill not do SO when the
tariff bill was up. He also remarks sug-
gestively that as the tariff bill did not supply
the machinery and money for the collection
OF the tax, the present proposition may be
looked upon as supplementary to the origi-
nal legisationgand, therefore, fair subject
for legislative attack.

PARTNERS HAVE TUG OF WAR
Capt Ragan Could Run a Tugboat but
Not Fifteen-cent Restaurant.


Not Fifteen-ceut Resta urant.
Although meal big enough to satisfy the
hungriest was offered for Is cents at the res
taurant started by Capt. Ragan, of the.tugboat
Fannie Gilbert, and Robert A. Abel at No.
626 Louisiana avenue, the business has col
lapsed. With the failure the feeling between
the partners fell TO zero, and yesterday there
was merry struggle between them to obtain
possession Of the stock.
Policeman Hartigan was kept very busy all
the afternoon acting as sort OF mediator In
the quarres of the partners. ut late in the
day Abell was outwitted, and the goods were
carried or in wagon by Ragan. The for
mer partner discovered this too late to stop
it, but he slipped and stumbled along the icy
pavements after the wagon in order to dis
cover its destination.
It took $3.50 to start the place, and since
the day the doors were thrown open for Gus
toners and gaudy canvas signs announced
the cheap prices for meals. the five employees
have never been paid, they claim, a cent of
wages, although they got enough to eat.
When the firm decided to close down, and
the last customer had departed at o'clock
Thursday night, the estrangement between
Ragan and Abel was completed. The latter
claimed half the furniture and stock and
Ragan denied his right.
Somehow Ragan got the employees, VINO

Finally Abell was absent for awhile hunt

prevent them from moving and again sent

There was great CONSERVATION when the
entrances were guarded and detectives went
through the crowd searching for those well
known 10 be OF the obnoxious class. The re-
suit was that five men were arrested and
taken to the Twelfth street station. The
presence of the policemen in plain clothes
and uniforms caused unusual excitement
and was fruitful theme of gossip for the
loungers along the Avenue.
The prisoners gave the names of Michael

Morris, horse rubber. The two latter were
subsequently released on $40 collateral, and
