sion of the House today wound up in a.
lively tilt between Mr.. Fair banks of Ban

will be remem bered, that Mr.. Fairbanks
raised the question whether under the
Reed rules, which have been adopted by

does not vote, to repeat the vote to as
certain the presence of quorum. Then

lowed the good old maxim of never
crossing bridge until he came to it and
the regular order Of business, .he de-
clined to rule upon 1t. j..
Today, MIR. Keegan of Van Buren,, had
spoken for his resolve to provide for a
constitutional amendment to permit the
French people naturalized in the state,
to vote if they can read the constitution
in French. When it came to the vote, the
Speaker said that gentlemen would rise
in order that quorum might vote. The
vote, however, resulted ..62 against the

diately upor, his feet with the point that
Il quorum had not voted.

Bath, March 22.-What has become of
Archie Campbell, veteran of the war?
That's question that the Bath police
are trying to answer and as yet they
have failed to do SO.
He was with man named Duncan
Fracier a part of Monday, and on that

of the people who live there say that
Campbell left about eight O'Clock Mon

No trace or clue to him can be found.

Disposition Shown to Await the Decis-
sion of the Court Regarding the Consti-
tutionality of the Law.
Washington. March 22.-The income tax
returns are pouring into the office of the
comissioner Of internal revenue so rapidly
as to keep the income tax division very
busy. Clerks from other divisions havs
been detailed to assist in the work of class
flying the returns. The:returns. it is stat
ted ARE much more numerous than were
calculated upon in the first estimates sub
mitted to Congress as basis for action.
The estimate then was that $4,000 corpora
tions and. individuals are subject to the tax
After tho law passed the estimates of fly
eight collectors of internal revenue were
compiled. and it was found that they aggre-
gated 400, 900 returns from corporations and
individuals. This estimate is considered
entirely too high, and If tie income tax is
paid by 240.0G0 individuals and corporations.
it is believed that the law will have been
more generally enforced than is usual wit h
new enactment of this kind. According
to the officials of the Treasury Department.
neither corporations nor individu uals are
holding back returns, pending the decision
of the Supreme court on the constitution
ality of the tax. Foreign returns and re-
turns from New York and other centres
mostly affected by tax are said to be COM
ing in quite lively. Although the tax itself
is not due until July Lit is said that $40. .O00
has already. been paid in.

The Sad Death of Little Arthur Reddy
Yesterday.

A fifteen year old lad named Arthur
Reddy, went into the Standard Oil
Works on West Commercial street yester-
day afternoon and got into the tank
room where the naphtha gas il manufae-
tured. In some way he managed to in
hale large quantity of the gas, and was
overcome by it. DR.. Nickerson was called
and did all he co uld to resuscitate the
boy, but in vain. 1t seems that the boys
have been in the habit of running in
and out of the room. There was no dam
ger to be ap pretended unless person
leaned over the tank and inhaled the
gas, the effect in that case being similar
to drowning. When Reddy was found
he was leaning over the tank. Coroner
Hall was called. The boys parents live
on Beach street.
