TAX LEGISLATION.
Several NEeasures to Be Brought Be-
 fore New York Legis1ature.

Several Memsures to Be Brought Be-
 fore New York Legislature. 5 ALBANY, N. Y, Feb Probably the most important of the bills to be in troduced during this week in tine legis- lature will be the mortgage tax meas ure suggested by Governor Odeli in his annual message. Senator Green, chair man of the committee on taxation and retrenchment, says that the bill is ready for introduction. Its provisions will accord with the governors recon mendations. The rate of taxation pro- posed will be mills annually in lieu of all other taxes, the mortgages to be assessed locally, two-thirds of the amount collected to go into the local treasuries and ope-third to the state.
 The notarial tax bill with amend ments will be reported from the sen ate committee on taxation tomorrow. It was amended in several important respects as a result of last Wednes- day's hearing. Senator Green expects that it will pass in it's present form. Certificates in personal property trans actions and in criminal proceedings are exempted, but the measure is still con- sidered sweeping and is expected to bring several millions in revenue to the state treasury.
 Substitute bills governing the taxa tion of domestic corporations and pro- yiding against discrimination in favor of foreign corporations as advocated by the New York Tax Reform associa. ton will also be reported, but another hearing is likely to be asked for

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES
 Old time variety stars are at the head of this weeks bill at the Jacques in the persons Of Watson, Hutchings and Edwards, and while they have played but one previous engagement in this city, five years ago, their names are known to every follower of vaude- vile who has any knowledge of the best players in the business. They are among the very best of all the comedy stars in this branch of amusement, and it is a notable fact that they have never suffered from the incursion of legitimate stars, as have so many of the old time variety people. Take any
 bill in any house where they are placed alongside of the leading ex-legits, and it will be found that in nine cases out of ten Wafsen Hutchings and Ed wards invariably top them. Gould stronger argument be advanced of their great capacity? In s'The Vaudeville Exchange the comedietta they pre- sent, they have an act that is all full of fun as an egg is of meat, and there are as many laughs in it as there are words and situations Nothing better can be said than to tell people to go and see them, for nobody who daes will experience a grain of disappoint- mepf. They are not, however, the only good ones on the bill, for Ward and Curran, the comedian and the sweet singer. are another pair of old time va rfety stars who are always headlined. Mir Curran is. q wonderfully sweet singer with 2 voice much like the late BilIv Seanlan's. and MT Ward has few equals as an eccentric comedian. The bill includes in addition Charles Ken ra the fhree LaIliotts. Fred Zohadie. \ and Mamie Anderson the Pearce brothers ana as a special feature the American Vitagraph with it's splendid series Of nietures showing a voyage to linn. Prices are 10. 20 and 20 cents; afternoons 10 and cents Indies 10

WAGE SCALE SIGNED
Miners Executive Committee
 Completes It's Work.
WAGES OF sOO,OOO MEN AFFECTED
Final Settlement Came After Hope Had Been Abandoned-A Substan- kiaI Increase Granted by tha
 Soft Coal Operators.

t
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-The na- tional executive committee of the mine workers met here today and concluded its work. President Mitchell left for Philadelphia and Vice President Lewis started for eastern Ohio, and from there he probably will go to the min- ing district of West Virginia. The dis trict conferences will be held between now and April 1.
 All the dates for the joint confer ences in the several states have not been fixed.
 Of the conventions which have been arranged are Michigan's convention at Saginaw March 15 and the joint con ference immediately afterWard at Bay City and nine joint conferences in Ohio during the month of March.
 Operators and miners of central bitu- minous competitive district have signed and ratified a new wage scale agree ment. Final settlement was reached late and at time when the leaders of both factions had practically aban- doned all hope of effecting an agree ment. By the new scale the operators grant an increase of 10 cents per ton for mining of coal on screen system, 6 cents ton on run of mine system and 8 cents on machine mining.
 The wage scale signed directly and indirectly affects the wages of 100000 miners. Those directly affected are the miners in the states of the central competitive district composed of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the Pittsburg dis trict of Pennsylvania. Of these 25,O0O are in the Pittsburg district, B GOO are in Ohio, 5000 are in the Indiana bitu- minous fields. 5000 are in the Indiana block coalfelds and 10000 are in Hi. nois.
 Those whose wages are indirectly af- fected are the 3OOOO miners Of central Pennsylvania. 5000 Of Michigan, IA ,OOO of Iowa, 4,0OO of Kentucky, 15OOO of Alabama. 15,O0O of Tennessee and about 10000 of Kansas. Missouri. Ar kansas and Indian Territory. All of the latter base their wage demands on the scale adopted in the central dis trict.
