TOBIN GUILTY AS CHARGED.
Prisoner an ex-Convict Having Done
Time for Ugly Crimes.

Alarge crowd was in attendance at
the Tobin trial before Judge Vreeland
in the Morris County Court last Tues
day and Wednesday, and in the balcony
score of women appeared deeply in
terested. Mrs Tobin, the first witness
recited the story of the shooting She
described the walk with her husband on
April IA, and told her, as they were
passing the home Of Prosecutor Mills on
Macculloch avenue, her husband attract
ed her attention to the house, ,remarking,
"Isn't that pretty placer" AS he
fired the first shot, Mrs. Tobin testified,
her husband said ''You take that" He
then walked away few feet, and re-
turning, shot again saying, That's the
end of you.
Messrs. Vogt and Barkman attempted
to have the witness admit having had
improper relations with other men, but
Judge Vreeland ruled out the testimony.
This line of evidence was to be put for.
ward as motive for The crime and
being defeated in their object at the out
set, the defence later produced wit
nesses who testified that, in their opin-
ion, Tobin was insane.
When placed on the stand Tobin
made many accusations against his wife
and said he had proof of her wrong
doing. When asked by the prosecutor
if he had ever been convicted of crime.
Tobin unhesitatingly answered in the
negative. Mr.. Mills then placed wit
nesses from Pittsburg, Pa, on the
stand, who swore that he had served
four years in the penitentiary for bur-
glary and two years for assault and bat
terry.
The case went to the jury at noon
Wednesday and after delberating fif-
teen minutes the jury returned verdict
of guilty as charged.

AUTO CLUB OF AMERICA.
Two More Members Arrested as
Law Breakers.

That the local police authorities are
earnest in their attempt to stamp out
automobile racing and fast driving
through the streets of Morristown was
demonstrated last night when Sergeant
Morrison gathered in trio of men who
violated the town ordinance, after a
tedious wait of many hours.
In the morning Stanley Hepburn and
S. w. Hartley, of Brooklyn, N. Y, who
are members of the Automobile Club of
America, were racing their machine up
South street at an alarming rate. The
police were unable to capture the men
at the time but the active sergeant
planned his own little surprise. He
stationed himself in South street about
dusk and waited.
About 1890 o'clock his patience was
rewarded. The men were again racing
the 'auto" down the street. Morrison
walked to the center of the road and
commanded the men to halt. The order
was obeyed and the speedy couple placed
under arrest. About the same time
Jonathan Robbins, a Morristown painter,
was arrested for fast driving in South
street.
When the men were arraigned before
Police Justice Cliff, the automobiles
were fined $40 and costs, and as proof
against discrimination Robbins was
fined $5 and costs. The first two named
payed the amount, but Robbins failed to
do so. He was placed in the lookup
and later released, Lamont Guerin fur
nishing the necessary means.
Racing in the streets is, at all times,
dangerous, and the police are to be COM
mended for their stand in their manner
of apprehension. The pity of it is that
all honest citizens cannot create them
selves magistrates on occasion.

F1TzHUeH LEE ON CUBA's FUTURE.

If Native Craftsmanship, After a Fair Trial,
is Not EqualtO the Emergency, Its Des.
tiny Must be Confded to the Great Ameri-
can Republic.
OMAHA, April 4.-Gen. Ftzhugh
Lee, for the first time since his re-
tirement from the army, has given
expression to his views with regard
to the future of Cuba. The occasion
was the banquet given in his honor
at the Omaha Club. After referring
to his service as Consul General, and
in the army in that island, he said in
part: "More than ever must there
be an exercise of patriotism in it's
highest sense by the citizens of the
United States. The Philippines are
ours by treaty and their future, so
far as the United States is concerned.
should be duly determined by Con-
gress after, and not before, the
armed resistance to the authority of
the United States has ceased. The
splendid exploit of Funston throws a
brilliant light upon the coming
path of peace. Porto Rico is ours
by conquest, while Cuba has it's
status fixed by the Teller resolution
in the act declaring war against
Spain.
1.-The war was waged to make

forces from Cuba and relinquish it's
authority on the Island. That hav-
ing been accomplished, the United
States is now concerned in uphold
ing it's solemn pledge of pacifcation
in the interests of all.
"Cuba will agree in time to the
conditions imposed by the Platt
amendment in the interests of it's
own independence and in order that
the United States can faithfully
maintain the pledged paciicatiOn of
the island. T%hirty-one members
ere elected, or rather selected, from
the whole island, to constitute a
constitutional convention. When
it's work is completed the organiza-
ton of a government should follow
and when that is accomplished the
jurisdiction and control of the island
undoubtedly will be turned over to
the Cubans.
"Cuba's future will be determined
by Cuba's craftsmanship. Should
the collective Cuban wisdom be
sufficient to keep the craft afOat on
the waters of prosperity and estab-
lish a stable government strong
enough to protect life and property
and give confidence to capital, there
will be no disposition on the part of
the United States to interfere, but if
the government problem cannot be
solved after a fair trial by the Cubans
the future destiny of the Smile of
the Sea- will be forever cOnfided to
the care of the great American re-

FOR THE INCOME TAX.

Favored in Report by Industrial Commits
sion-The Expert George ClappertOn De-
Clares it Just and Equitable and it is Grow
ing in Favor.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Indus
trial Commission has made a public
report upon the taxation of corpora
tiOns prepared by it's expert agent,
George Clapperton. The report
makes 1853 pages. The greater part
OF it is devoted to a summary of the
tax systems of the States Of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisoon-
sin, Iowa and Texas. Mr.. CIapper-
ton says that he found the general
property tax system prevailing in
all the States, but that there r
distinctive features in the various
States, which are especially marked
in the taxation of corporate prop
erty. He does not endorse the sys-
tenn of levying a fixed rate upon net
earnings, which is in vogue in Della
a1e and Virginia, finding that
while that system is theoretically
satisfactory, cit does not meet the
varied business in the developments
of corporations" He also finds the
general property tax unsatisfactory.
On this point he says:
cit is clear that under this system
there are forms of wealth
that do not and cannot be made to
bear a just share Of the pubic bur
dens, and which in large part evade
or escape taxation, and some forms
which, when reached at all under the
prevailing general property tax, are
not equally and uniformly but IN
justly and disproportionately taxed,
as compared with other property.
The inevitable result is that real
estate and some forms of personality
are unduly burdened with the taxa
ton"
Upon the whole Mr.. ClappertOn
concludes that an income tax is the
most equitable, saying:
There is a growing class of citi-
zens who receive large incomes or
salaries and enjoy all the advan-
tages of society and good govern
ment, who, though possessed of
abundant ability to pay taxes, are
under existing systems, practically
exempt from taxation or inadequate
ly taxed. This class is receiving and
must continue to receive especial at
tentiOn in the revision or refOrma
ton of taxing systems in the several
States.
"While a tax upon individual in
comes is generally conceded to be
just, and equitable in principle, it
had been received with disfavOr and
regarded as impractical in its opera
ton. 1t is apparent, however, to
the careful student of commonwealth
taxation, that because of its justice
and the increasing efficiency of State
administrative methods that are
being evolved, the idea of a limited
supplementary State income tax is
growing in favor and is coming to be
more generally regarded as a practi-
cal measure under State supervis-
ion"
