San Francisco. Cal, June 1.-THE

to the jury today. Up to 6 o'clock to-

of an early agreement.
Once during the late afternoon, when
the jury had been out over four hours.
there was sudden summons for Judge
Lawler and II was announced that the
jury was returning.
Mr.. Calhoun and his attorneys, who
had been outside the building, return
ed TO their accustomed places Just as
Judge Lawler. resuming his seat upon
the bench. announced that the Jurors
had requested that the testimony of
one of the few witnesses whose testi-
mony involved direct mention of the
defendant, be read.
The reading required about forty
fve minutes, and while II was In prog
ress. Assistant District Attorney Hen
ey. accompanied by Rudolph Spreekeis,
financial hacker of the graft prosecu4
ton. hurried down the aisle, Conferred
with his colleagues, TO learn the rea-
son for the jury's return. and remained
until the twelve men. again returned
to the jury room.
Many differences were made on the
return OF the jury. but no reliable con-
clusion was reached.
The twelve men in the box, upon
whom every eye in the court room was

reading Of the testimony, which was

Attorney General wickersham u
Drawing Up Amendment On Cor

he Submitted To-day.

Washington. June Ex-senator Bal
ley, speaking for himself and most OF
the Democratic and Republican income
tax advocates, announced at the open
ing of the Senate session today that
he would consent to postpone the dis
posal of the income tax question until
after the tariff schedules are disposed
OF.
After debate had proceeded for half
an hour, an order postponiug the sub
ject was suggested by Mr.. Bailey and
agreed to. The formal presentation OF
the matter was made by Mr.. Aldrich
and 1t took the form Of unanimous
consent agreement to defer the entire
income tax and corporation tax ques-
lions until the schedules ara out OF the
way. At that time MI. Bailey's amend
ment for an income tax and the COM
mittee substitute for II will be taken
up and kept before the senate until
they shall have been disposed OF.
Mr.. Bailey again sought assurance
that no motion would be made to re-
fer the amendment to the COMMITTEES
but was met with a prompt response
from Senator Hepburn. who declared
that he would not agree to such q
proposition. Mr.. Hepburn. who declar-
ed that he was opposed to any income
or corporation tax "or any other sub
penses of the government. II still
continue to march along the line or
a high price tariff" he sud, declaring
that he would not go beyond the GUS
tom house and the internal revenue Of
fees of the country to raise the gov
ernment's expenses.
Senator Borah suggested to Mr. Aid
rich that the finance committee should
not delay In bringing In Its plan for

time" replied the Rhode Island Sena-
tor, that the committee has request
ed the Attorney General to prepare
an amendment, and under the direction
of the President he will do 30. giving
US no doubt. a provision largely re-
fiecting the views Of the administra-
ton. AS soon as It 10 considered by She
committee, 1t Will be reported to- the
Senate and hope that viii not be later
than next Monday morning.
Mr.. Bailey then suggested the fr-
regularity OF the proceedings.
II understand. he said. that bills

Of Representatives and not In the

Replying that It was not a question
of raising revenue. Mr.. Aldrich said

The Texas Senator said he had no
idea that the Attorney General or the
finance committee would prepare any
amendment that be could support but
he reserved the right to withdraw his
own amendment II he should be wrong
in that supposition.
The amendment was then allowed to
20 over in accordance with the under
standing until the other provisions OF
the tariff shall have been put out Of
