A StenOgrapher Takes Down Aid.
Powers Offer to Sell Chicago
Council Votes.

Chicago, Ill, Dee. 22.-Ald. John Pow
ers made a fiat proposition to kill the anti
cigarette ordinance in consideration of
$4,000 to him in cash paid on the after
noon of December IS, in the presence of
concealed witnesses. He detailed the
manner in which the sum was to be di-
vided, and poured into the ears of
stenOgrapher, whom he could not see, a
confession that he had executed much of
the kind of work he had in hand. He
came to the trap with boldest assurance,
wasted no time in the mincing of words,
calmly demanded the bride, and openly
excused his mission on the grounds of
hard times for the boys" in the coun-

Powers was trapped by Neil McCoull,
resident agent Of the American Tobacco
company, aided by q local newspaper
man. The ordinance before the council
provided for a license of $500 year for
every dealer in cigarettes. Aid. Powers
guaranteed to deliver forty or more votes
for the cash consideration mentioned, and
further guaranteed that there would be
no inconvenience or future bother so long
as the present council remains in power.

phatically that he had made any corrupt
proposition, the alleged stenographic re-
port to the contrary Notwithstanding.

TO TEST INCOME TAX LAW.
First Steps Taken to Get it Before

Schley, applied to Judge Cole Of the equi-
ty branch of the Supreme court OF the
District of Columbia for IN order re-
straining John S. Miller, commissioner of
internal revenue, from assessing and col
lecting a tax upon his income.
Because of the Importance of the action
it is expected that the court will fix an
early day for the hearing. This is only
one of number of legal attacks that will
soon be made upon the income tax, and
each suit will be based upon different
grounds. The moving parties are New
York business men. 1t is the intention
of a number of these individuals TO re-
fuse to pay the tax and appeal to the
courts in each case.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 22.-Harry
Hayward, accused of instigating the MUIR

was arraigned today in the district court

was set for January p. The case of

so planned as to throw large crowd
which had assembled to see the event,
off the track, this caution having been
taken on every occasion when Harry
Hayward has been brought out of his
cell. The general feeling, however, is
more one of curiosity than of retribution.

lot much Of their tendency to create
surprise. Still that sensation may be
produced In mild degree by the latest
scheme OF ocean transportation which
has reached MS from France, and which
has N. Baxin, not unknown in engi-
neering circles, for its author.
N. Bazin proposes. in brief, to build
an Atlantic liner On eight rollers, with
the view Of securing speed much higher
than any thus far attached, arguing
that the wheels or rollers ON which the
vessel Is to rest will no greatly diminish
the resistance offered by the waves that
30 knots an hour will be easily within
the bounds Of possibility, and will en-
able the passage from Southampton OF
Liverpool to New York to be made in
four days. The rollers are to enter the
water to a depth Of about 26 feet. and
revolve within platform placed about
"a feet above the water. 20 that there

The rollers presumably are to be worked
by engines to secure propulsion.

a. that Of the ordinary type. and be-
ieves that the construction Of his design
Of ship will he much less costly than
that Of the usual description. Accord
