Denver. March 1o-A special to the

and smith shops. The mill. GO feet
away, escaped without damage. The
woodwork of the shaft was burned out
and the hoisting machinery destroyed.
The damage runs high up into the
thousands, but the most distressing
feature is the fact that eight men are
imprisoned in the dark depths, whose
fate is unknown. There is little ground
for hope that they have escaped suffo-
cation. 1t will not be possible to enter
the mine to search for them until some
time tomorrow. A rescuing party has
been unable to get down further than
the third level by the air shaft. The
smoke and gases from the charred
wood of the hoist shaft has penetrated
the upper levels and it is impossible to
pass them. The entombed men are:
Charles Sherrick, w. j. Williams, Frank
White. Jerry Conover and w. b. Mitch
ell.
Williams and Sherrick are old in
mining experiences and have faced like
dangers before. They are cool-headed,
and If any place of safety was to be
found, they found it. The fire drove the
engineer from the hoist while George
Wilkinson was going down in the buck
ct. He had reached the ninth level,
when the hoist was abandoned and was
shot down 800 feet, to the 18th, where
the bucket struck, tipped and threw
him into the drift. He was stunned.
but recovered and climbed back to the
second level and escaped by the air
shaft.
This is the only serious mining acct
dent here since the burning of the South
Homestake shaft several years ago,
when two men were smothered.

E0MUNOs ON THE INCOME TAX
United States Supreme Court Justices
Asked Him Questions


Washington. March 11-Assistant At
torney-General Whitney resumed his ar
gument in sustaining the income tax
law before the supreme court today.
Mr. Whitney addressed himself to the
question of uniformity in taxation. He
cOntended that the limit of 81 900 fixed
by law was not class legislation. If a
subsequent congress had sought TO
amend the law by including those not
previously exempted by the $4,000 limit,
this amendment would no doubt be class
legislation, as it would apply to a dis
tinct class. Mr.. Whitney reviewed pri-
or decisions in insurance and other
cases, showing that the Interpretation
of this court on class legislation would
not apply to the income tax. Concern
ing the exemptions allowed to certain
corporations, the assistant attorney
general said it was most surprising that
this was set up as a ground for invali-
dating the tax. He read from numerous
federal tax laws showing repeated ex-
emptions in the cases of art societies
and many other corporations Mr..
Whitney said that the supreme court
had already over-ruled the contention
rentals as made by the income tax was
invalid The state taxes were against
the land and not against the individual,
but the income tax was not against the
land but against the total income of the
individual. AS this income came in
part from land, it was merely an Incl
dent. The income tax is in no sense a
land tax. 1t is not on gross income
the net income.
Mr. Whitney took up the claim that
the federal government can not tax
municipal and local securities held by
individuals, as for instance, bonds is
sued by New York city. He said it had
been decided in the case of BOnaparte
against the state of Maryland, that a
state could tax bonds of the city or
state of New York. If the state could
exercise this power. why could not the
federal government do the same?
Mr.. Whitney concluded at 1870 and
was followed by Mr.. Edmunds, counsel,
against the law. Mr.. Edmunds read
from the constitution as to the protec-
ton of private rights. These provi-
| sions, he said, were trite, and yet ii
seemed necessary in these days with
such legislation before us, 10 recall these
constitutional bulwarks against an in
vasion of private rights. In a question
of this gravity, he would feel disposed
to ask the court not only to pursue pre-
cedents and follow them in this matter
but go back and rule upon the entire
subject so vital to sustaining private
rights. The worst tyranny of histor,
was that which came in the guise of re
