PERSONAL TAX LAW
FOR THE DISTRICT
--sF
Proposed as an Amendment
to the Appropriation Bill.
Mr.. Cannon's Suggestion May Be Adopt
ed Despite the Rules-views of
Senator Mcmillan.

Representative Cannon introduced In
the House yesterday a resolution the pur-
port of which is to enable the adoption oil
an amendment to the District appropria-
ton bill providing for a personal tax
Under the rules ST the House 1t Is I'M
possible to incorporate new legislation oil
any character in a general appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Canron's proposition Is to have the
Committee on Rules report special res
olution covering the case. and permitting
the presentation OF an amendment to the
appropriation BILL. 1t is probable that
this action will be taken, and in that nan
ner it will b, possible to get the matter
of the personal tax before the House and
allow that body to pass upon 1t.
Senator Mcmillan has been so annoyed
by the various factions holding different
views upon the question OF personal tax
that he is glad to have the House take up
the question and deal with 1t. and then al
low the Senate to pass upon 1t as it comes
from the lower house.
1t is not unlikely that the District ap-
preparation bill may be considered after
the agricultural appropriation bill which
is now before the House is disposed of.

DEATH FASTENED BY
ACCIDENT TO STEAMER.
Captain Albers, of the Deutschland, Ex-
pires at Cuxhaven.

HAMBURG, April 29.-Captain Albers.
commander of the Hamburg American
Line steamship Deutschland, died at Cux-
haven this morning.
NEW YORK. April 29.-Emil L. Boas,
New York agent of the Hamburg Ameri-
can Line, received dispatch from Ham
burg today, saying that Capt. Adolph Al
bers. commander of the record holder
Deutschland. and commander of the fleet.
had died this morning from apoplcxy. 1t
is thought the excitement incidental to
the breaking of the Deutschland's rudder
On the last voyage Of the liner to Hamburg
may have helped to bring on the apoplectic
stroke.
Captain Albers was born in Hamburg
sixty years ago. He made his first voy-
age when sixteen years old. in a sailing
ship. He became associated with the
Hamburg American Line in 1857. His
first command was the steamship Bavaria
plying between Hamburg and the West In
dies. While captain OF the steamship Wi
land he saved s37 passengers of the steam
ship Giser, which was sunk at sea in coll
lision with the steamship Thingvalla.
He commanded the Auguste Victoria
and the Fucrst Bismarck before he took
charge Of the Deutschland. The only ac-
cident Of consequence in his long career
was that which may cause the Deutsch-
land to be laid up many weeks.

Opposes Bill to Purchase
Lands From Sioux in
South Dakota.
MAKES HUMBER OF COMPARISONS
Mr.. Platt of Connecticut Believes Move
Will Inevitably Result in Millions Be-
ing Expended in Near Future-Sena-
tor Dubois Supports Measure.

During the confederation in the Senate
yesterday of the bill to ratify an agree
ment with the Sioux tribe of Indians. Of
the Rosebud reservation. in South Dakota
and making an appropriation to carry the
same into effect. Mr.. Plat Of Connecti-
cut attacked the provision for the pay
ment of $3.50 per acre and the giving OF
the same free to homesteaders.
He stated his belief that the plan is
no more defensible than IL Congress
bought farms in any State and threw them
open to homesteaders. The lands pro-
posed to he thrown open under the bill
consist OF 416.142.24 acres.
The Senator declared that IL Congress
continued in opening reservations as It
had in the past. II would be called on to
expend over $50. 900 in a very short
time. He offered an amendment to strike
out the clause giving advantages to home
stead settlers.
Senator Dubois favored the bill in
short speech. He said that the Govern
ment has pursued the policy of segregat-
ing the Indians in certain sections in the
past. The land thus freed has been opened
to settlers in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
and other States.
Senator Stewart. chairman of the Indian
Affairs Committee. spoke against the bill
He said the policy OF the bill would cost
not $50 OO0. coo but 800, 100000 Senator
Stewart denounced the entire Indian
policy. comparing 1t with that of Mexico
and Canada. where. he said. the red men
have become useful and hard working
The bill was laid aside at o'clock.

NO DECISION REACHED
BY LABOR CONFERENCE
Committee of Seven Ad-
journs Until Today.
Session of Miners Representatives and
Operators Without Result-No
Agreement Arrived At.

NEW YORK. April 29.-No agreement
was reached at the conference of the COM
mittae of seven held today in the office of
the Central Railroad Of New Jersey with
the object of reconcilng the differences
between the anthracite coal miners and
coal carrying companies. An adjournment
was taken until tomorrow. The represent
atives of the miners would not talk. The
representatives of the coal carrying
companies would not admit that any con-
cessions were offered by them.
The committee consists OF G.. F. Baer.
president OF the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad; E. n. Thomas, of the Erie /;
w. II. Truesdale. president of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western. and John
Mitchell, John Fahey. T. D. Nichols. and
Thomas Duffy. representing the miners.
The conference lasted nearly three hours
The delegation of miners which came
here on Saturday morning and attended
the conference at the office of the Civic
Federation camped out in and around 4
hotel opposite the Jersey Central Offices.
Three of them who visited the confer
cnce while it was in session said when
they returned that the miners would stand
by the demands formulated at the Shame
kin conyention-that is. for an eight hour
workday and % per cent advance in
wages.
The miners DO not want to strike"
said enc Of them, but want to have these
demands granted"
President Truesdale would only say
after the conference that points had
been agreed on. The general belief was
that no concessions were made by the
but that Mitchell and the other
representatives OF the miners have n hope
that some kind of concession may be
granted which will give them chance
Of going to the miners with new pro-
posal IL the differences are slight. the
executive committee of twenty-one can
act.
While the speaking miners are
willing to let things 20 en- as they are
and avoid strike. it is understood the
non English-s speaking miners demand sub
stantial concessions.

SENATOR ". 4. CLARK
DEFENDS His CHAUFFEUR
Denies That His Auto Was
Operated Too Fast.

Few Things About Rapid Transit,
and Law Was Not Violated.

Senator William a. Clark of Montana
proved an interesting character as he
STROBE into the Police Court yesterday. TO
appear in behalf of his chauffeur, Peter
J. Anderson. charged with violating the
speed laws of the District OF Columbia
with an automobile. The machine was
the property OF Senator Clark. and he
was being hauled to the Capitol at the
time the alleged law-breaking was done.
Two bicycle policemen testified when
the case was called that Anderson
whisked Senator Clark along G Street and
ty-fve miles an hour. Anderson insisted
that he had not gone faster than ten miles
an hour. Then Senator Clark took the
stand.
He said he had operated the same ma
chine in Paris that Anderson drove when
arrested He had also ran 1t in New
York and in Washington. and thought he
knew its capacity and how fast 1t would
go under certain conditions. He declared
that Anderson, on the occasion COM
planned of by the police. handled the
machine with unusual care, and certainly
did not cover ground faster than eight
or ten miles an hour.
The policemen. however. Insisted that
they had brought speed registers TO bear
on the machine at the time alleged in the
information. and that it had unquostion-
ably exceeded the rate allowed by law by
at lerst ten miles an hour. and Judge
Scott imposed fine Of $40, which Senator
Clark promptly paid.

FRIENDLY TO POOR 10.
President Roosevelt Will Appoint Only
Efficient Men as Indian Agents.

Questions involving the work Of Indian
agents In the West were discussed at con-
siderable length by the Cabinet yester-
day. The Administration intends to give
Poor Lo all possible protection. The
President has given publicity to his de-
termination that. because the Indians ara
practically helpless, Indian agents will
be selected with regard to their ef-
fciency, political consideration being rele-
gated to second place.
There are to be a number Of changes In
the Offices OF Indian agents and the Presi-
dent will make few personal appoint
ments. He knows many good men himself
whom he thinks he can rely upon to con-
duet honest administrations. These men
will probably be placed in control of GER
tain OF the agencies where the admins
tration now is unsatisfactory.
