a ring tinkled down and rolled across
| the floor. Lestrade grabbed il up and
stared at it with mystified eyes.
There's been a woman here" he
cried. Its a woman's wedding-ring."
He held it out, as he spoke, upon the
palm of his hand. We all gathered

be no doubt that that circle of plain
| gold had once adorned the finger Of a
bride.

"We have it all here" said Gregson,
pointing to a litter of objects upon one

Per Cent-Settled by One
Majority.

jail. O.-luS du-
vocate of the individual income tax
proposition were triumphant at the
meeting of the Democratic members
of the ways and means committee
yesterday afternoon. The eleven
members were all present when the
meeting vas called to order at the
Treasury department at 4 o'clock.
But little time was wasted in dis
~cussion, the ground having all been
argued and fought over time and
time again.
The issue was joined on two
propositions-one to levy a tax of
2 per cent on Individual incomes of
over 81 900 a year and on the net
incomes of corporations, and the
other, offered as a substitute by
Mr.. Cochran, to tax the incomes Of
corporations 1 per cent and inherit
anee 5 per cent, to place a tax of
10 cents on whisky and to restore
sugar to the dutiable list at half a
cent per pound.
The vote on Mr.. Cockran's substi-
tute proposition, which was taken
first, resulted in its defeat, Z to 4, as
follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Wilson, Cochran,
Stevens and Montgomery.
Nays-Messrs. McMillin, Turner,
Whiting, Bryan, Bynum, Tarsney
and Breckenridge.
The original proposition was then
submitted and carried by a vote of
6 to 5, as follows.
A~yes-McMillin, Turner, Whit
ing, Bryan: Bynum and Tarsney.
Nays-Wilson, Cochran, Stevens,
Montgomery and Breckenridge.
1t was also decided to increase
the whisky tax ten cents per gallon;
that is, from ninety cents to 81, to
be levied against whisky in as well
as out of bond. Upon the repre-
sentation that this increase would
work undue hardship to the owners
of whisky in bond it was decided
to extend the bonded period from
three to eight years.
The tax on playing cards, at one
time fixed at six cents per pack,
was reduced to two cents, and the
contemplated tax on perfumes and
cosmetics was discarded. No in
crease was made in the tax on CT
gars, but the increase on cigarettes,
50 per 1000, was allowed to stand.
The committee estimated that
the tax on the incomes of corpora
tons and individuals will raise
thirty million dollars reYenue-12
millions from corporations and Is
millions from individuals. The in
crease on whisky tax, it is estimated,
will give an additional revenue of
10 millions per annum. The pro-
posed tax on lnheritances, which
was not to be levied in case the
proposition for an individual in
come tax failed, was not deemed
necessary.

The Minneapolis grand jury began Mon

case. The officials have practically given
up hope of wringing a confession from
Harry Hayward. and it seems certain
that the case will come to trial in due
time, in which event it is likely to become
= celebrated case in murder trial annals.
Harry Hayward is apparently deter
mined to fight the thing out to the bitter
end, and few more developments are eX-
pected before the case comes to trial.
Adry A. Hayward, brother of the ac-
cused, made n confession, in which he de-
clares that the fearful crime was deliber-
ately planned by his brother, Harry, and
that the bloody deco was committed by
G. A. Blixt, the engineer of the Ozark
flats. The motive for the crime was the
securing of the insurance on the murdered
woman's life.
Adry's confession shows that prior to
the murder Harry had arranged all the
details of the loans he had made her, the
evidence, the life insurance, etc, in such
a manner that it would appear to the pub
lie afterward that it was all open and
above board. Time and time again Harry
made personal appeals to Adry, but the
latter always told him he could never
