of the blind boy desired to have the lad
take advantage of the state school for
the deaf and blind here on account Of
it's standard being higher than that OF
the school in Idaho. In having Mrs.
Geddes. who is an aunt of the boy. APP

TREND OF GOVERNMENT
IS TOWARD SOCIALISM
French Ministry Has New Scheme Of
Taxation Which viii Place the
Burden Upon the Wealthy
Classes.

Paris.-The governments new
scheme for taxation, introduced in the
chamber of deputies on Thursday,
created a great stir when 1t was
made public after the closing Of
the house. If enacted into a law
it will constitute complete readjust-
ment of the fiscal system. The old
door, window, poll and other direct
taxes are to be replaced by a system
based upon incomes. Day laborers
are practically exempted.
The tax upon incomes of over $1,000
year is made progressive up to
per cent of the total. Even govern
ment rentes, excepting those held
abroad, only nominally escape, the
coupons themselves being exempt, but
the revenue therefrom being taxed
when the total income of the holder
exceeds the minimum laid down.
French savings are largely invested
in rentes. The burdens placed upon
foreign securities, both private and
governmental, constitutes a particu-
larly heavy blow to Russian securi-
ties, of which 1t is estimated that
from eight to ten milliards are held in
France.
This new income tax measure is
one of the radical reforms to which
the Clemenceau ministry committed
itself upon assuming Office. 1t was
submitted for the approval of M.
Jaures, the socialist leader, before the
introduction in the chamber, and while
1t is received with unbounded Joy
by the socialists as a proper shifting
of the burden of taxation to the shout
ders of the idle rich, 1t is sure to
encounter intense opposition from
the more moderate republicans, as
well as from the conservative par.
ties

MUST INCREASE NAVY.
United States Needs More Battleships
to Control the Pacific.

Chicago.--Major General A. w.
Greedy, in an address in this city, de-
clared that If the United States Is to
fulfill her destiny as the controlling
power of the Pacific ocean and main
tain her position as world nation,
she must recognize the gravity of the
problems which have arisen since she
took over the Philippines and prepare
to meet them. General Greedy referred
particularly to the menace OF war
with Japan which has followed the re-
cent anti-Japanese agitation in San
Francisco, and, while he expressed the
belief that the difficulty will be tided
over, pointed out the inevitable reoc-
currence of such contingencies, and
pleaded for a navy which should en-
able the American people to maintain
their national honor.

VILLAGE CARRIED AWAY
BY HIGH TIDAL WAVE
Wave Preceded by a Torrentiai Down.
pour Of Rain, Which Warned
People, and Loss Of Life
Was Small.

Naples.--A severe storm has caused
serious damage on the Calabrian
coast. At Marina, small village, a
tidal wave swept in and practically
carried the village away. The loss Of
life was slight. The wave was preced-
ed by torrential downpour of rain
and a fierce wind This warned the
people of their peril, and they moved
back from the shore in time to escape
the wave.
Several hundred feet of the shore
line was inundated. Several houses
collapsed entirely, and the rush of wa.
ter carried off everything portable.
Many of the buildings were under
mined. The people are still in a con-
dltion of terror and panic. One wom-
an is reported dead and four persons
are unaccounted for. The school
house has been transformed into a
hospital and shelters score of
wounded persons. The people have
sought refuge in the surrounding hills.
Reports from laramie say there is
great apprehension concerning the
fate of eight fishing boats that have
not been seen since the storm.

MAY BE AN EXTRA SESSION.
President Wants to Get Action on
Santo Domingo Matter.

Washington.-The treaty between
the United States and Santo Domingo,
which has been pending in the United
States senate for ratification since
1905, is to be displaced by an entirely
new treaty, which will be sent to the
senate soon after February Is.
The Santo Domingo treaty as nego.
tiated two years ago now ceases, there
fore, to be possible cause for an ex.
ira session of the senate. The new
treaty, which will be in a greatly sim.
plified form, freed from nearly all the
causes of controversy embodied in the
convention that has been pending may
be ratified before the expiration of
this congress on March. At this stage
of the session, however, the slightest
resistance would compel postpone
ment of its ratification.

JUSTICE SLAIN
BY ANARCHISTS
Peace Officer of Paterson, N.
j., Killed by Explosion of
Internal Machine
Murdered Man Had Actively Aided
the Police In the Capture OF italian
Law.Breakers, and Was Marker
for Death by Assassins.

Paterson, N. J.-Justice of the
Peace Robert c. Cortez was fearfully
injured in his office Friday night by
the explosion of an Internal machine
wrecked and the defamation could be
heard for blocks.
The Judge had actively aided the po.
lice in the capture OF Italian law
breakers recently.
Justice Cortez died at midnight
from his injuries. He had been home
to supper, leaving his son Robert in
charge of the office. 1t was the young
er man who had received the internal
machine, which came from Newark
and was delivered by an American
Express wagon. The charges were
paid and the boy accepted 1t.
When Cortez reached the office the
boy handed the package to him. The
outside wrapping was OF paper, tied
with string Irvine. Judge Cortez re-
moved this paper. Inside was another
wrapper made fast with straps such
as boys use to put around school
books. Robert says he watched curl
ously to see what the little box con.
tanned.
His father rested the package on
the desk and pulled the end Of the
strap toward him so as to loosen the
tongue of the buckle. Ahe moment he
did so there was an explosion.
A hole six feet square was torn in
the floor and the desk was driven
down into the cellar and torn to
pieces. The boy was hurled into n
corner and seriously bruised and
burned.
Judge Cortez was found behind the
doorway and the hole in the floor.
Both legs and both arms we're broken,
his face and body was torn and lac
Grated and his back apparently brok-
en-. A mass OF flesh was torn from
the bones. He was removed to st
Joseph hospital, where his ante-mor-
TEN statement was taken.
Judge Cortez had been a justice for
twelve years. He was shortly to be
appointed sergeant of detectives in
recognition of the active work he had
done in aiding the police in running
italian and other criminals down.

New York.-The defense of Harry
X. Thaw, under the direction OF At
torney Dolphin NJ. Delmas OF Cali
fornia, began to assume definite shape
on Wednesday. When court ad-
journed testimony had been placed
before the jury to the effect that Stan
ford White had been heard to make
threat to kill the defendant, coup
ling the threat with the display of
revolver; that Thaw's actions fol-
lowing the killing of White on the
roof of Madison Square Garden was
considered by several eye-witnesses
to have been IRRATIONAL" that an
uncle of the defendant was insane;
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw passed a
note to her husband during dinner
at the Cafe Martin the evening of the
tragedy; that District Attorney Je-
rome has this note and refused, on
the demand Of the defense, to intro
duce 1t in evidence.
The alleged threat against Thaw's
life was made two years and half
before the tragedy occurred. District
Attorney Jerome objected to the evil
dence, declaring the defense was not
understood by him to be one Of self.
defense.
Mr.. Delmas replied that the de-
Tense intended to take advantage Of
every legal defense allowed in the
state of New York, be II insanity,
self.defense or any other legitimate
justification Of the taking Of hu.
man life.
This was but the first of a series
OF interesting tits between the dis
trict attorney and Mr.. Delmas dur
ing the day, and it was agreed that
Mr.. Jerome had found Thaw's new
leading counsel foeman worthy of
his best efforts. The two men are of
widely different types-Mr. Jerome
quick, passionate, forceful, sarcastic
and brilliant at ridicule; Mr.. Delmas
calm, courteous, resourceful, witty,
crafty and ethical, to whom the dis
trict attorney was always "the
learned district attorney" There was
never deviation from ,lis method
of address.

Port Au Prince, Hayti.-The rela.
tons between the governments of Hay.
Il and Germany are strained owing to
the refusal of the German bankers,

BILE to the government This was con-
cluded by the Haytian minister of fin
ance, the German legation and Her
mann & Co. The German minister
demanded that this transaction, as
well as others, be annulled, but the
Haytian government in terms that the
German minister DENIED offensive, re.
fused to acquiesce. The German min
lister at the same time demanded the
withdrawal of the phrase objected to.
This also was refused.
Fears are entertained here of grave
complications ensuing.
The official monitor recently pub.
lished notice of the expulsion of Mr..
Mansour.. an American citizen, but
Mr.. Furniss, the American minister,
believing the call for the mans ex'
pulsion unjustified, asked for the with.
drawal of the order. This, however,
was refused, and Mansour has left for
New York. The seal of the American
legation has been placed on his shop.
