FORTY vETERANs MURDERED.
Horrible state of Affairs at the Dayton
soldiers Home.

DAYTON, o., October 9-Police
search for the perpetrators of the two
recent murderers of veterans OF the
Soldiers Home on pension day,
develops a situation more horrible
than the terrible Bender crimes
in the West. Forty old soldiers have
been robbed and murdered at the
national military home here and only
passing notice has been taken Of the
crimes. The Grand Army is taking
hold of the matter and the feeling exists
that the government should place de-
tectiyes here 70 collect evidence against
the murderers who have grown rich by
robbng the veterans. Local police au-
thorities can go no further than to give
pointers that will surely lead 10 the ar
rest and conviction OF the guilty ones.

from West superior. The first stop was
at Chippewa Falls at 7;3O, followed by
Others st Eau Claire, Altoona, Black
River Fails, Merrill Junction
aud EIroy. There were numbers
az each place, and a feature at every
one was the presence OF eX-Soidiers with
streaming flags, TO which Mckinley in-
variably made Acknowledgement. The
Governor has been nominated for Pres
ideat in every State through which he
passed, aud Wisconsin has taken up the
cry with increasing repetition at every
place.
Az Merrill Junction the presence Of a

For Putting the Income Tax
Law Into Effect.
May Fall ThrOugh-In ihat Event it
Means Deficiency Of $50, ,0OO,O 600.

wAsHINoToN. Nov. 2l.-A prominent
eastern Democratic representative, who
strongly opposed the incorporation of the
income tax in the tarif BILL remarked
yesterday that he did not think the gov
ernment would realize anything like the
amount which was estimated by the
trainers OF tho odious tax. The recent
election was, TO his mind, a severe con.
demnation OF that measure.
When the attempt is made to collect IT,
he says, It is understood 20 be the inten-
ton Of those who are called upon 70 refuse
to pay 1t on the ground that IL is uncon-
stitutional 90 impose such taxation except
as a war measure, and win appeal TO the
United States court in order 70 test the
question. To pursue such course would
prevent for several months the collection
Of the tax.
WHOM the Act Was Passed
there was only 5000 appropriated to
carry it out That sum Is wholly made
quate to put the machinery in motion TO
enforce it's provisions. II will require, nc
cOrJing 60 the estimates OF the treasury
Officials, at least s55o, 900, which must be
Immediately appropriated on tho assem-
bling of congress FOR the employment OF
additional deputy collectors, etc, for the
purpose OF putting the law into practical
operation.
The law takes effect Jan. next, but all
the machinery for its enforcement must be
prepared for In advance Of that date. The
opponents Of this inquisitorial tax in the
senate and house will, ii is understood,
oppose any appropriation TO carry it out.
They can, If they choose, not only delay,
but prevent the passage Of any bill making
appropriations for this purpose.
The Amount ColIeotible
as estimated by those who framed the
provisions Of the income tax proposition
Is about $50, 100000 II by any means the
government should fail to secure this
amount by the failure of this tax, there
would be n deficiency OF SIS, 600, 600 or
$50 ooo, 600 which would have TO be pro
vided for by some other method.
Secretary Carlisle's attention has been
called 10 this matter but he does not be-
lieve that the opponents of the tax will
carry their opposition to the extent of de-
featlng the appropriation to carry out the
law.
He says he intends TO ask congress as
soon rs il convenes for an immediate ap-
propration OF $500, 600 for tho purpose of
collecting the tax. 1t will require at least
that amount for the first year.

WAsHISGToN. Nov. 21.-Our government
has not yet been officially informed that
the Danish government has prohibited the
Importation Of American cattle and meat.
Our trade in these commodities with Den
mark is Of Insignificant volume, but il it
should appear that the Danish govern
ment has been induced to issue it's decree
Rt the instance OF Germany, the CORE
spondencc between the latter country and
the state department is likeiy to assume a
very different tone from that in which 1t
has been conducted.
Ii is one thing for n nation TO exclude
our meats on sanitary grounds, even II
the case is badly sustained, but it is an en-
tirely different matter for such n nation to
go out OF its way TO induce third nation
TO join IL in a boycott Of American prod
ucts. Probably it would be difficult Go
establish the fact that Denmark has been
influenced Go decree its prohibition at the
request of Germany, but should this be
made clear diplomatic issue Of gravity
would be raised batween the United States
and Germany
