Protest Against Canadian Interference In
Affairs Of Newfoundland.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 24.-In the
house of commons the Hon. David Mills,
one of the most prominent Liberal
members, protested against any inter
ference by the Domin.o on government
in the affairs of Newfoundland Can
ada, he said, had been successful
in breaking up the treaty negotiated
by Attorney General Boyd Of New
foundland and James G. Blaine, on be-
half of the United States, but if Can
ada had only kept her fingers out of
that matter Newfoundland would be
by this time in much more prosperous
condition than she could ever hope to
be in the Canadian Dominion. At this
there was great Liberal applause.
Major McLennan of Glengarry (Con-
servative) introduced a bill to prevent
the letting Of government contracts to
aliens. The bill also provides against
letting such contracts to any company
in which there is an alien stakeholder.

LADIES KNEW HIM
Lucky BaIdWin's Remarkable
Defense In His Latest Sc
duction Case.
ADMITS HE IS A GAY DECEIVER.
His Reputation So Well Known
That No Woman Should
Trust Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-E. j.
Baldwin, better known as Lucky"
Baldwin, the millionaire horse owner,
mining man and land proprietor, has
filed a most remarkable demurrer to
the suit of Miss Lillian Ashley against
him for seduction. Baldwin has so
many times been the object of similar
suits that, as he says, he no longer wor-
ries about little thing ike that. The
latest suit aga nst him is that of Miss
Lillian Ashley, formerly of Boston,
who alleges while she was visiting in
Los Angeles the aged millionaire won
her affections and betrayed her. Now
she wants $50, ZOO compensation. In a
demurrer just filed Baldwin pictures
himself as a gay deceiver and says his
reputation is so well known that no
woman of experience would trust him.
The demurrer sets forth that Miss Ash
ley is wise woman, acquainted with
men and
The Ways of the World,
and should be able to distinguish be-
tween sincerity and deceit. Mr.. Bald
win states she knew he was a married
man and unable to keep promise of
Of marriage. Consequently she did not
place any reliance in him, though she de-
clares she did. The demurrer says that,
knowing Baldwin was a ma1r,ed man,
she ought to have known his protesta-
tionsof love were insincere. and that his
expressed sentiments of affection were
but the means towards an end. Miss
Ashley knew the general character Of
her betrayer and should not have per-
mitted herself to be led from the path
of virtue by such evidently insincere
protestations of love- Accordingly, he
petitions that the suit be dismissed.

JACKSON DECIDES.
Question of Relocating Income
Tax Cases Rests With
That JuriSt.
COURT AT PRESENT A TIE.
May 6 Set by the Chief Justice
as the Day to Hear Ar
gumentS.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The United
States supreme court, through Chief
Justice Fuller, made the following Or
der in regard to petitions for rehear-
ing of the income tax question::
The consideration Of the two petit
lions, (the income tax petitions) for re-
hearing is reserved until Monday, May
6, when q full bench is expected, and
in that event two counsel Oh side will
be heard at that time
Although the order does not explic-
lily so state, it means that argument
will be heard, not on the merits OF the
tax question itself, but on the question
whether or not there shall be a rehear-
ing of the suits heretofore decided.
This argument, it is expected, will in
clude the extent to which the rehearing
shall go, that is, whether it shall b
confined merely to the point on which
the court was evenly divided, the
constitutionality of the income tax
law as whole, or whether the
whole question shall be reopened and
new arguments made Oh the question
o. whether or not rents are exempt
from taxation, a. to which there was u
clear majority of the court against this
feature Of the tax. The announcement
by the court is further confederation OF
reports of improvement in the health
OF Justice jackson, as it was made only
after assurances that unless his case
took Il turn for the worse, he would be
abe to return to his seat On the bench
by the date named IN the order.
jackson Virtually an Umpire.
1t is understood that the decision of
the court to depart from it's almost I'M
broken custom OF dec. ding upon the adj
visibility of rehearings without invit
ing further suggestions from counsel
than is contained in brief written state
ments, is due to the appreciation which
the members have Of the vast impor-
lance Of the income tax cases and
their desire to have it understood by
the public that they are not disposed to
place any obstacle in the way of the
fullest possible presentation Of the case.
The usual practice in regard to petitions
for rehearing is to grant them upon the
motion of one Of the members Of the
court who has concurred in the decision
already made, but it would appear from
the course taken in the present instance
of submitting even this preliminary
matte to the full bench that none of
the justices felt disposed to make such
a motion, and that the arrangement
now announced was hit upon as COM
promise. Justice Jackson, therefore,
will virtually come into the case as an
umpire. In the meantime, the original
decision will be allowed to stand as the
law, and it is understood that the full
text Of the chief Justices opinion will
soon be given to the public
