SENATOR CoRMAN FOR
BONDS.
He Contends that this is the
Proper Wayto Raise War Funds

ETOpor w dy TO ftalSe w ar FUNDS
Washington, May 27.-A notable
speech on the war revenue measure
was delivered in the Senat this af-
ternoon by Mr.. German Dem, of
Maryland), In the course of an ar
gument i'm support of a tax on cor
porations, he denounced as "Infa-
NOUS" the decision of the Supreme
Court" declaring tho income tax
law of 1894 unconstitutional. The
warning sounded by some Senators
that If a tax were placed upon cor
pOrations it would be pronounced
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court had, he said, no effect upon
him. A decision against such an
enactment would not destroy our
financial structure. but ii would de-
stroy the court which should hand
ii down.
GORMAN FOR BONDS.
German took decided issue with
the majority Of his fellow Democrats
upon their propositions to coin the
silver seignorage and to issue legal
tender notes and made a powerful
argument I'm favor of the issuance Of
bonds to raise funds with which to
prosecute the war.
Mr.. Teller (Silver Rep, of Colora-
do) concluded his speech begun YES
terday, advocating the coinage of
the seIgnorage, the levying OF a in
income tax and the issue of legal
tender notes, and opposing the issue
of bonds.
Mr.. Nelson (Rep., of Minnesota)
presented II carefully prepared argu-
"''nl against the issue ofiegal tender
mites.

to executive session, and soon after
ward adjourned.
A SWORD FOR DEWEY.
The House was this afternoon in,
active for more than an hour while
a roll call was taken and the SER
geant-at-arms was engaged i'm bring
ing i'm alb -ent members to make a

The Senate resolution authorizing
the Secretary Oft the Navy to present

George Dewey and cause to be
struck bronze medals commemorate
ing the battle of Manila Bay and to
distribute them TO the officers and
men of the Asiatic squadron, was

outions recently passed by fifty members
of the First Christian church of this city
looking TO a withdrawal from the congre-
cation, were read before the congregation
yesterday. but final action on them VAS
postponed until next Sunday The action
TO withdraw from the church was the out
growth of refusal OF some OF the mem
bers to favor the erection of larger church
building. the claim being made that the
present edi1ce was not large enough TO
hold the large and constantly growing con-
gregation. The outlook is that two churches
OF the Christian denomination will be
located here. Other than the disagreement
on the matter OF building there is no fric-
don existing between the two factions OF
